CUT by Wolfgang Puck
Wolfgang Puck has been a legend in the world of luxury dining for nearly 30 years, and his minimalist Beverly Hills steakhouse is another fabulous success.

Guests are encouraged to choose not only their favorite cut of meat, but where it came from, with various offerings from farms across the country. A contemporary twist on the classic steakhouse, this phenomenal eatery is more than deserving of its Michelin Star.

BOA Steakhouse
2 Locations are hardly enough to contain the flavors present at this iconic Los Angeles steakhouse. Known for their signature 40 day dry-aged ribeye and premium A5 Wagyu, BOA consistently delivers nothing but excellence. While the vibrant ambience of the West Hollywood location is exquisite, nothing pairs with a quality steak quite like the Santa Monica location’s scenic view of the beach.

Dear Johns
