Best Steakhouses in Los Angeles 2026: The Ranked Guide
Our ranked guide to the best steakhouses in Los Angeles for 2026, from Wolfgang Puck's CUT and the Mastro's flagship to Steak 48 and BOA on the Sunset Strip, with the rooms we book most.
Why we wrote this guide
Los Angeles does the modern steakhouse better than almost anywhere, and it does it on its own terms. The best rooms here are not dark, clubby time capsules; they are architect-designed dining spaces, celebrity-chef flagships, and glass-walled Beverly Hills power rooms that happen to run some of the most serious prime and Japanese wagyu programs in the country. This is our ranked guide to the best Los Angeles steakhouses in 2026, built from the tables we book most and the rooms our guests ask for by name. Every venue below is one we reserve directly. Last updated late June 2026.
Looking for the table, not the reading? Tell us the night and the group and we will route you to the right room. The order below blends the quality of the room with the occasion it fits best, not just the size of the beef program.
The ranked guide
1. CUT Beverly Hills
The most refined steakhouse in the city, and the one we reach for when a guest wants a steakhouse that does not feel like one. Wolfgang Puck's Beverly Hills flagship sits inside a Richard Meier-designed room - the architect behind the Getty Center - as a luminous white gallery hung with pieces from Puck's personal art collection. The beef program is built around provenance and precision rather than tonnage: a 14-day dry-aged rib eye from Flannery in California sits alongside A5 Kobe from Hyogo Prefecture priced by the ounce, so you can compare the same cut through entirely different production philosophies in one sitting. Start with the bone marrow flan or the signature butter lettuce salad that has been on the menu since day one. See CUT Beverly Hills.
Best for: the marquee steak dinner where the room matters as much as the beef.
2. Mastro's Steakhouse Beverly Hills
The Beverly Hills power dinner, done the way the people who fund the business like it. Mastro's on Canon Drive is the flagship expression of the brand on the West Coast: dark leather booths, candlelight, and live music from the dining lounge and piano bar most evenings. The kitchen anchors around prime beef and proper technique, with the 22-ounce bone-in ribeye as the order to build around, and Japanese A5 Wagyu from Miyazaki and Tajima Kobe on the list for those who want to push further. The lobster mashed potatoes are not optional, and essentially every table finishes with the warm butter cake. One block from Rodeo Drive, the location does some of the work before you sit down. See Mastro's Steakhouse.
Best for: the serious power dinner and the client table that needs to close.
3. Steak 48
The modern glass-walled steakhouse, and the pick when the group wants energy with its prime beef. Opened in 2022 as the West Coast flagship of the acclaimed group, Steak 48 claims a Wilshire Boulevard address in Beverly Hills with plush velvet booths, marble accents, and a dramatic glass-walled wine cellar holding over 1,400 bottles. The kitchen prioritizes USDA Prime cuts, premium Japanese A5 Wagyu, and flown-in fresh seafood: the A5 Wagyu Ribeye, the bone-in New York strip, and the 32-ounce dry-aged Tomahawk for Two are the anchor orders. Open the meal with the wagyu tartare or the Maine lobster escargot. The private Olive Room seats up to 65 for a bigger night. See Steak 48.
Best for: the celebratory group dinner with a lively, social room.
4. BOA Steakhouse West Hollywood
The Sunset Strip steakhouse, and the one that runs hottest at night. This is the original BOA - the room that opened as Balboa Steakhouse in 2001 and grew into the 13,000-square-foot flagship that helped define dining on the Strip. Executive Chef Brendan Collins built the menu around the Creekstone Farms beef program: the 15-day dry-aged bone-in ribeye is the house workhorse, the Four Sixes Ranch Ribeye is the cut with a story, and the A5 Japanese Wagyu is there for the marbling. A serious seafood side earns its place too, from spicy tuna cones with caviar to a Calabrian-chili lobster pasta. Ask for the covered patio under the mature trees; Sunday runs all bottles at half price. See BOA Steakhouse.
Best for: the Sunset Strip night out that starts at the steak dinner.

Why the steakhouse reservation is harder than it looks
The best Los Angeles steak tables tighten around the city's calendar - awards season from January through March (Golden Globes, SAG, Oscars), NBA All-Star weekend, and any major premiere or industry event - and the prime-time weekend seatings go first. These are also industry rooms: CUT sits inside the Four Seasons, Mastro's is two minutes from every hotel on Wilshire, and BOA runs the Sunset Strip crowd, so the same tables that fill for a birthday fill for a deal. The public reservation platforms show you what is left, not what is possible. We work direct relationships and the restaurants' own reservation desks in parallel, which means we can often place a table the apps show as fully committed, and we can pair the steak dinner with the rest of the night.
How MyRSVP holds the table
We work two desks on every steakhouse request. Our venue-relations desk has direct lines into the rooms above; our operations desk handles timing, the section that fits the night, and any celebration setup (cake handoff, a specific booth, a quiet corner for a proposal). Outside Las Vegas the dinner reservation itself runs through the restaurant, and we do the work of getting you the right table at the right room.
The process for you is short:
Tell us the night, the group size, and the room (or tell us the vibe and we will pick).
We come back inside 12 hours with the table, the time, and anything we can add.
You confirm. We hold it with the venue.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best steakhouse in Los Angeles?
For the single best, most refined steak experience, most serious diners point to CUT Beverly Hills, Wolfgang Puck's Michelin-recognized flagship. For a classic Beverly Hills power dinner, Mastro's on Canon Drive leads. The right answer depends on the occasion, which is why we rank by fit above, not just reputation.
How much does dinner at a Los Angeles steakhouse cost?
Expect a prime steak entree at a top Los Angeles steakhouse to run roughly $70 to $130, with A5 Japanese wagyu cuts priced well above that, often by the ounce. A full dinner with appetizers, sides, and wine lands around $150 to $350 or more per person depending on the room and the cuts. We can give you a realistic per-head estimate for any specific room before you book.
Which Los Angeles steakhouse is hardest to get into?
On weekends and during peak windows - awards season, NBA All-Star weekend, major premieres - the prime-time tables at CUT, Mastro's, and Steak 48 book out first. Those are the rooms where working the reservation directly matters most, which is where we come in.
What is the best steakhouse for a large group?
Steak 48, Mastro's, and BOA all seat groups comfortably, and each has private-dining options - the Olive Room at Steak 48, the Penthouse at Mastro's, and private configurations at CUT that scale up to 160. For a celebratory group that wants energy, Steak 48 or BOA. For a quieter, more formal dinner, CUT or Mastro's. Tell us the headcount and we will route the room that fits.
How far in advance should I book an LA steakhouse?
For a standard weekend prime-time table, 2 to 4 weeks. For awards season, NBA All-Star weekend, or a major industry event, 4 to 8 weeks. Weeknights and off-peak seatings are often available inside a week. We can frequently place tables the public apps show as fully booked.
Prime dry-aged or Japanese wagyu - which should I order?
Every room above runs both. If you want a classic American steakhouse cut, order the dry-aged bone-in ribeye - the 15-day dry-aged ribeye at BOA and the 22-ounce bone-in at Mastro's are the house workhorses. If you want the melt-in-your-mouth marbling, go for the A5 Japanese wagyu, which CUT, Mastro's, Steak 48, and BOA all carry and price by the ounce. CUT is the room to visit if you want to taste the same cut expressed through different farms and prefectures side by side. Tell us which way you lean and we will point you to the right table.
