Practical notes
What to plan for before you book — spend, reservation strategy, and who should skip this guide entirely.
- Expected spend
- Plan on roughly $80–160 per head with a side and a drink; prime cuts and dry-aged steaks push the top of that range.
- Booking strategy
- Reserve one to two weeks out for prime weekend windows, especially in Burbank. Early seatings are the easiest walk-in.
- What to order
- Order the cut the kitchen is known for and take it medium-rare unless you have a reason not to; split a larger format — ribeye or porterhouse — for the table and add one house side to share rather than one each.
- Skip if
- you want a light or budget meal. A steakhouse is a splurge format — for value-first dining, our cheap-eats picks are the better call.
