LA steakhouses

The old rooms are the draw: red jackets, leather booths and martinis, several of them open since before the war. The newer ones are built around wagyu and the grill.

8 of the 20

  1. Musso & Frank Grill

    HollywoodHollywood grill$$$

    Hollywood's oldest restaurant, open since 1919: red-jacketed waiters, martinis, and a grill menu of steaks and chops that has never needed changing.

  2. Dal Rae

    Pico RiveraClassic steakhouse$$$

    A 1950s Pico Rivera steakhouse of wood paneling, chandeliers and tableside caesars. Order the pepper steak: filet or strip under bacon, onion and peppercorns.

  3. Taylor's Steak House

    KoreatownClassic steakhouse$$$

    Koreatown's steakhouse since 1953: thick steaks heaped with onion rings, baked potatoes and a very good Manhattan.

  4. Gwen

    HollywoodButcher shop & steakhouse$$$$

    Curtis Stone's Hollywood butcher shop by day and steakhouse by night: a glass case of cuts by the door and dry-aging lockers glowing in the dining room.

  5. Matū

    Beverly HillsWagyu steakhouse$$$$

    A Beverly Hills room built around grass-fed wagyu, served as a five-course prix fixe that runs from clarified beef broth to wood-fired ribeye.

  6. Saddle Peak Lodge

    CalabasasLodge steakhouse$$$$

    A former Pony Express stop in the Santa Monica Mountains, now a three-story hunting-lodge steakhouse: fireplaces, elk and quail, and a bone-in ribeye.

  7. The Tam O'Shanter

    Atwater VillageScottish tavern$$$

    A Scottish-themed tavern from 1922 where Walt Disney was a regular: fireplaces in every room, a glassed-in wall of Scotch, and prime rib as the house order.

  8. Chi Spacca

    MelroseItalian steakhouse$$$$

    Nancy Silverton's carnivore room on Melrose: focaccia, house salumi, and a tomahawk built for the whole table.
