About this restaurant

  • Good for business meals
  • Great for fine wines
  • Good for special occasions
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.

    Service started off pretty bad; we were sitting at our table for quite a while (at least a full 15 minutes) before anybody came over to even offer us water let alone take our drink order. To their credit, they realized their mistake, apologized profusely and were able to recover from a rough start. All of the food that we had was quite good, and the steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly. They offer these sauces with their steaks, but imo the steak was seasoned enough it doesn’t need any sauce. 1 small gripe is I wish they had valet parking, but that might be a Manhattan Beach thing that doesn’t allow them to have valet.

    My experience in the past has been Management seems to choose who is invited to sit at the bar. They will remove people who have waited and extend privileges to those who are in Favor!

    The Arthur J is always a great experience. Best Caesar salad I've ever had, love the flavor of the petite filet. Great martini before entree and glass of cab with dinner. Been coming here about 5 years and will keep conning back!

    I’ve had Arthur J on my list to try for a while, so when I was in the area (from Los Angeles) for the day I made a reservation for dinner. Sadly, the restaurant didn’t live up the hype. I ordered a filet and the waitress mistakenly noted my order as a petite filet. The filet was cold when it was brought to me. I told the waitress she made a mistake with the size of the steak and she offered to swap it out but I didn’t want my friend to have to wait on my food to be re-made. They ended up taking my steak off the bill without me asking, which was classy and a nice move by the restaurant. My friend ordered the Sunday special, French Dip, which sadly was not great (especially when compared to Hillstone’s French dip). The meat on the French dip seemed more like Gyro meat, and the au jus was more like a gravy. The Parker House Rolls, Beef Fat Fries, and Grilled Broccolini were good. We also had to wait awhile and flag down waiters to have our drinks refilled, which seemed strange for a restaurant of this caliber (they didn’t seem to be short on waitstaff since many people were working, but our waitress just didn’t check in). They brought a baked Alaska out for us at the end of the meal as a treat.
