   Service was interesting! 3 couples with large Seafood Tower—only 2 sets of sauces! No new plates for the Seafood Tower only initial bread and butter plates! But the seafood was excellent! Steaks were all well cooked but I think the flavor and char needed more refinement.

   We had such a great night with the fire and ice appetizer really only for two people, great Caesar salads— and the lobster and filet mignon were fantastic. The big hit of the night was when we ordered three of the desserts the chocolate cake, the apple and rhubarb item and the cheesecake and the four of us left. Very happy.

   Tasteless, low quality food with Encino prices. Caesar salad was just lettuce, could not find any Parmesan or croutons. The sushi appetizer were smelly and the steak was tough. One star experience/value.

   Noisy, inattentive staff, expensive prices and poor food quality. Save your money.

   Our Server Jose was cool, brought our fries out late due to forgetting to put them in and We were given the wrong Mac and Cheese. They also ran out of bread and the server he was going to take care of us but didn’t. The host were nice but I had a reservation for 9:15 and didn’t get seated until almost 10pm. Didn’t received not one apology or compensated for having to wait for our table even though we had a reservation. For the amount of money you spend, you’d expect better service or think that they would at least have your table ready. I’d rate this location 3/5.

   They were out of almost everything we ordered. This is a location that we visit frequently and the food and service are always outstanding. Tonight was the exception. The steaks came over cooked and were very dry. 3 or the sides we ordered were out. Not all at once, but our poor server (who was wonderful) had to keep coming back as asking if there was something else we wanted. We just gave up and wrote it off.

   I went to Larsen’s on my 6-year anniversary (2/14) and unfortunately had a disappointing experience. I understand that Valentine’s Day is one of the busiest nights of the year, but the service was lacking. My glass of water was covered in dust, which I didn’t notice until I had already finished drinking it. About 20 minutes after ordering, we were informed that they were out of mashed potatoes, so I asked for a baked potato instead—only to be told they didn’t have that either. To make matters worse, they were also out of bread. I’ve been to Larsen’s before and usually have a great experience, but this was by far the worst visit. Hopefully, this was just an off night, but it was really disappointing for such a special occasion.

   The food we did end up getting was incredible. Highly recommend the filet mignon sashimi. The mains took way too long and I think it was just due to the busyness of the night.  Our server Jamie was great! Would def recommend, but maybe not go on a super busy night.

   I think we were at our table for about 15 minutes before a server came to greet us. No over view of the menu, asked if we had questions or even if we wanted to order apps. After 15 minutes, all that was asked was “if we were ready to order”. Everything else was dialed from the food to the ambiance in the room. Coming to a place like this you just expect a little more premium service
