Clearman's Steak 'n Stein

When the "Signature house steak" is a burger patty... Then you know the steak is going to be really bad. Yes, you read that right. The signature house steak which was recommended by the waitress, was ground beef.. It wasn't a real steak it was a burger patty made with ground beef... Wait but that is not the worst part of all, they served me raw ground beef... I asked for medium rare thinking it was a juicy steak and I got a raw burger patty with raw meat, which should never ever ever ever be served and yes I did get stomach sick to no ones surprise. Yes the steak was bland, no seasoning not even pepper, bad, and I was 100% cheated and scammed by this steak house. I only ate 1/4 of the burger patty because it tasted like old meat and cheap ground beef, I do not recommend If you like to have good steak this is not the place, try another steak house. This will disappoint you and charge you more than you would like for the quality of the steak. The setting was great, dim lights, service was okay. One of the only things if not the best thing was the ambient music, it was noticble but not over powering where you need to talk loud to hear the person across from you. I had reservations, but still had to wait another further 10 minutes to be seated although the places was pretty empty. It is understandable.

It was my first time here, but my friends go here on a regular. It's a great place to dine while listening/ watching live music. We love who played tonight, but unfortunately we didn't get his name. He played a variety of music really well. As for the food, the salmon and the steak was delicious. I think the food is slightly overpriced compared to other places I've tried, in my opinion. The onion rings & garlic toast that was included in our entrée was very delicious. We especially liked the sour cream and chive salad dressing as well. As for the service, given that you're paying an average of $45 per person, you kinda expect the basics to be covered. It would be nice if they refilled or asked if we needed more water. We didn't know if they served deserts since we weren't offered any. Other than that, it was a nice experience.

First things first, the cocktails. Very reasonably priced and tasty. The food was in huge portions and just kept coming. The prices are great for the food that is served. The server does most of the work table side. All meat is flambéed before serving and baked potatoes are prepared to your liking. I love this place, even though I'm a vegetarian. There is more than enough food and choices. I can't wait to come back.

This place is a Los Angeles institution! The old style decor brings such a sense of old charm in a city that’s filled with changing menus. I’m guessing the items on these menus have been here for decades! The food portions are huge!!! They serve prime rib only on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Luckily we ate there on a Sunday! I started off with a half liter of house red wine. (You get your choice of a glass, half liter, or full liter.) The meals include salad with your choice of dressing (blue cheese, ranch or French), the infamous cheese toast, red cabbage, and baked potato with all the toppings (butter, sour cream, melted cheese and chives). My prime rib came with creamed spinach, and some condiments of creamy horse radish and Au jus. My partner ordered the steak and shrimp combo, where you could order the shrimp grilled or fried. We celebrated my birthday so our server came out with a big glass of ice cream with a candle on top, and the dessert was on the house! Whenever I think of a special dinner, this place is always top of my list!

Let me be the one to say I am sad for the demise of this place. My family has been coming here we’ll over 20+ years. Came in on a Wednesday night and about 15 minutes later I regretted making the reservation. Our party of 2 got put right next to a party of 20 and we couldn’t even hear each other speak. Drink orders took about 10-15 minutes to get to our table. Food was well over 35 minutes. Potato was even cooked through. Then to top it off it took the server 30 mins to get our check. In short, Steak n Stein is no longer worth the price. RIP.

Outstanding food and incredible service from a local landmark. I grew up on Clearman's cheese bread, but while 39 years is far too long a journey to finally land S&S's signature Filet Mignon on my plate, it was worth every bit of the wait. I don't really need to say much more, given the photos. Our waiter, Sam, left nothing to be desired, and the bartender was also quite generous in preparing my Jack & Coke. Steak & Stein is now on my "every time I fly back home" list.

Have been going to Steak & Stein for the past 40 years of my life. I’ve search everywhere we travel at high end restaurants and they cannot come close to Steak & Stein golden menu. Relaxing atmosphere & ambience and service that can’t be beat Enjoy the large circular fireplace in the waiting area as all of their drinks are perfect. We came to celebrate special dates when in my 20’s but in my 30’s & on I could afford to go anytime I liked and up to my 60’s. Cannot tell you if it's the crisp croutons filled salads, Cannot be beaten cheese bread that we argue over (yet they refill the basket often)and the best main dishes ever. I don't even bother to order scallops at other places as I've searched for year's to find any place to top Steak & Stein but they can't beat these scallops. I am confident you will enjoy the same. Enjoy.

Always the best! I've been coming here since I was a kid. And my dad has been coming here since he was a teenager. Our whole family thoroughly enjoys coming to steak n stein. You really can't go wrong with any of the food here. It's hands down my favorite place for special occasions or whenever I just want to treat myself to a good meal. On top of fantastic food, the staff is always happy and friendly.
