I’m adding this new review to my last re irw: Had an AWESOME meal there this week! Best veal part ever great marg great Caesar great people high energy fun all around perfect locals spot don’t tell anyone about the veal park soooo good, pretty too! Good to Great ... we had a really nice and fun meal at The Arthur J this weekend ... I will say the people and staff were A . Our waiter, check in , greeter, seater, SOM with great wines, all were A ! The food was very good , just not amazing .... it was very expensive and I have no problem with that, but for 3x the normal other great restaurants fit foodies, this place should blow you away ... and it is very good, just should be GREAT. Oysters ... ok, didn 't get any real horseradish like we asked for and the mignonette and cocktail sauces were meh ... oysters, ok, could be fresher tasting. The ribeye, very good ... but a little chewy, could have been more marbled and better ... a few too many bites we couldn 't swallow, too chewy, but good. And ... in this day and age, when other great restaurants blow you away with amazing ways to end your meal, great pastry chefs, and creative desserts, the best thing we could do was have an ice cream sundae ... sad, but no pastry specialness, no budino, no pot of chocolate, no amazing way to end a meal, tears ... So, again ... great people, good steaks and sides, a fun experience, kind of big steak house meets casual Manhattan Beach .... we go often, and we go a lot, but we should would like for the 3x we pay to have an AMAZING experience on the food side, up the steaks a notch or 2, get those oysters a tad tastier and give HORSERADISH and GREAT cocktail and mignonette, and yes ... hire a ridiculously good pastry chef .... we still love you guys, just looking forward to the time walking away full, including a desert, and an OMG wow night! If this wasn 't a home town fave, I 'd give it a 3 star ... but I love you guys and look forward to my 5Star next time!
