At The Arthur J, beef is our passion.

When you combine our ability to source the best beef in the world, cooking with an incredible natural wood fire grill, and friendly thoughtful service, an incredible quality steak is born.

This is why we offer the best USDA Prime, True Japanese Wagyu, and Black Angus Beef.

Unlike most pedestrian steak houses, Each one of our Steaks is cooked skillfully by our Grill Master over a stoked live fire with smoking white oak embers.
Our steaks are available both wet-and dry-aged and well as Bone-in, grilled to perfection our magnificent J&R Woodfire Grill.

    I know it is the holiday season and wait times are increased. However, there was little space for folks who were waiting to be seated. One server was irritated and would literally bump into you on purpose to getting the way. The food was very good. Allow extra time for steaks to be prepared. Overall value was not there for me. I recommend Pacific Standard Prime as an alternative.

    A great steakhouse, no complaints whatsoever. Service was great, steak was perfectly cooked, and the ambiance was classic steakhouse.

    First time visiting Arthur J’s. We were seated at one of the regular tables in the bar area. As others have said it is NOISY in the bar. Our server was very knowledgeable and helpful. There were plenty of things to like about our dinner. The shrimp cocktail, steaks and cheesecake were all tasty. The sides were small and lukewarm at best. The staff was attentive, but they could have tidied up the table a couple of times. With tip the bill for two was just over $300. An enjoyable evening for sure, just didn’t quite earn that fifth star.

    Seems like it may have been an off Sunday night for The Arthur J, based on the other reviews. The experience was good overall, and we could see how it might be great on other nights. A third of the restaurant had a coke breeze blowing through that no one seemed to be able to figure out, ultimately we were moved which made things better once we warmed up. The other issue was also temperature related and it was the food coming out, nothing was hot; it was all warm at best. Seemed like a timing issues between the entrees and sides, where some things sat while other finished cooking. I’d consider giving this place another try, but definitely had better experiences at other sister restaurants.

    Arthur J's, excellent food & service, would have liked a larger dessert menu but ended up with a delicious brulee banana split.....climate inside a little on the cold side, at least for us older ladies, be sure to bring a scarf & sweater to stay warm.
