I took my wife here to celebrate our 4 years anniversary. I made reservations through OpenTable and the process was simple. When we arrived to the plaza the restrauant is in, there a underground parking structure that I thought you could get validated but you basically have to pay a fee. We arrived to the restrauant about 30 minutes early but they were still able to sit us next to a window. The place inside is very nice and romantic, they also have someone playing the piano throughout our dining experience. Our waiter was Jason and he was awesome, he was helping on recommended which dish for my wife and also helped me choose the best steak to go with. My wife went with the Miso Sea Bass since Jason recommended it over the Salmon and he was spot on, my wife loved her dish and believe the Sea Bass here is the best out of all the other places she tried. I went with the 12oz prime dried age Filet Mignon, Jason recommended that I always go with USDA Prime over the Angus beef. My steak was very tender, flavorful and cooked perfectly to medium rare. I also got some French fries for my side and it was delicious. This place also give you complimentary bread and they give us a butter, bread banana dessert for our anniversary. We would totally come back for another celebration in the future since we had a great time here and the customer service was spot on.

Went for dinner on a Wednesday evening. The restaurant has a great vibe with plenty of window seating (for 2) and a full bar and bar area. When we were there, there was a business there doing presentations and talking through a PA system that was less than desirable for an evening out. Luckily, the presenting and PowerPoint didn’t last for too long, but they pianist didn’t play while they were doing their presenting, which was disappointing. We ordered a few drinks which took a little bit to come from the bar and when they arrived, one had a fly in it. It was brought to their attention and quickly replaced. For dinner, we ordered the miso sea bass and a ribeye steak with crab, artichoke, and spinach dip. The first ribeye that came out was nearing well done when ordered medium (which we were told would be bright pink). The server recognized it was overcooked and insisted it be replaced. The second steak came out perfectly cooked and well seasoned. I’ve purchased many expensive steaks, and this one sits pretty high on the list. My wife loved her sea bass, and it was cooked wonderfully. Staff was very friendly, and the food was good aside from a few hiccups. They did comp us a dessert, which was really good. It was a cake with creme sauce, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and carmazlized bananas. Amber, the manager, also stopped by to apologize about the steak and needing to wait for a new one, and that was super nice. I’d recommend checking it out and maybe calling first, making sure some business hasn’t rented out a portion of the restaurant.

Food was good, but it was extremely warm inside the restaurant. It was scorching outside, so a cool temperature while enjoying our food would have been nice. I had filet mignon, a side of Brussels sprouts (they were bland), and the clams and mussels. The steak was fine and was cooked as requested, and the clams and mussels were delicious.

Great location overlooking Ventura Blvd. They have a very nice outdoor patio for additional seating. Parking in the structure underneath was $5.

Their steak is great and the sides are shareable. I would go here if I want steak on a casual day. Restaurant is not crowded and you would enjoy your space. Servers are nice and the pianist plays good music. Parking is easy even on weekends.

My first time at Larsen’s and it was excellent! We went to celebrate a co-workers birthday during lunch hours. The hostess was pleasant and servers equally welcoming. I had the chicken sandwich lunch special. Do they bake their own bread?! Yum, chicken was moist and the French roll was so fresh. I will be back soon to experience dinner.

Encino Larsen’s location is extremely disappointing! My partner found what we believe, is a STYLUS PEN CAP in the Lobster Mac N’ Cheese!!!!!!!! Regretfully, It did not occur to us to take a photograph. It ruined our evening and my partners birthday. Harry, the manager offered a refund for the affected items and picked the pen out from the plate with his BARE HANDS (GENIUS idea). He then offered a $25-50 gift card which I found offensive. Mind you our bill was $400+. I did not expect this mediocre type of service. We declined the gift card as we found it insulting.
