555 East American Steakhouse

I thought y’ll had closed down!! It’s been a minute. I’m assuming different ownership. My hubby took me there for our engagement dinner 9/89.

I have only been here one time. I must say. I have never forgotten the experience and look forward to my return. These folks ain't playin! They present quality!

The food and service were terrific.

I've been eating at this restaurant for many years. It's always fabulous. We eat there on special occasions, birthday's anniversaries, we want to eat somewhere nicearies - anytime we have an excuse and a little extra cash we go there. We ALWAYS go there on Valentene's day. It's a tradition we are happy to keep. Do keep in mind a few things - 1) this is not a "family" restaurant. Go there with adults. They do not have a children's menu and the prices are what you would expect form a high-end steak place a'la Morton's and Ruth Chris. Do occasionally expect to wait even if you have a reservation. (Especially on 'special' occasions or busy, busy days.) Go to the bar and get a martini and enjoy the wood, brass, glass and class. They usually have a piano player who takes requests. If you're with someone you enjoy talking to, you won't mind. Make sure you try the garlic mashed potatoes. And if you like your steak medium well, butterfly the filet. That's it! I hope more people enjoy my favorite restaurant in Southern California!
