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.

    The Arthur J. has become one of our favorites. Food is always delicious. The only hiccup this go-around was service. Very little attention was being paid to our table. I had to consistently ask for refills in my water. I had to place a drink order with my busser because my server was nowhere to be found. Little details were ignored during dinner service. The table was never wiped clean between plates. As far as food goes, it is delicious. Delicious. Ordered the tuna tartare. It was a nice portion with a good balance between the tuna and acid on the plate. The wedge salad is always a nice portion. I love that they split it for the table. The Parker rolls never disappoint. They are pillowy and a great accompaniment to any order. The 60-Day dry-aged porterhouse was fantastic. It was perfectly cooked to temp with the extra char I love.

    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.

    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.
