Larsen’s requires a highly skilled butcher to be at the location at all times to monitor airflow, temperature, and humidity. During dry aging, the prime meats’ natural enzymes act as soothing tenderizers. At the same time, moisture evaporation improves the supple texture and hearty taste of the meat, making it richer and more buttery. Dry aging continues until a thin coating develops on the meat surface. This coating seals in flavor and juice, and is later trimmed off. Larsen’s then wet ages its beef for another arduous fourteen days, preserving its flavor of highly marbled, prime grade meat, from exceptional cattle breed. This process is a respected, time-honored technique of preparing high quality beef. It ensures that our guests enjoy the best steak they’ve ever had. Furthermore, our diligent method of preparation includes slowly searing the meat in its own natural juices at 500 degrees, rather than blast cooking it at 1700 degrees like most steakeries.

    1st timers, OT resy @ 6:15, restaurant about 1/2 full, no server arrived until requested one from nearby server after 10 mins sitting, server arrives named “Sean”, VERY LOUD & unable to read customers & unable to deliver what he said he would & when…no quick service as promised! There x 2.5 hours, soooo slow! Crudo trio NOT eatable, FISHY fish & sauces clearly way too heavy to HIDE the weak fish. Salad & 2 entrees & trio of sorbets good. A nice Bus guy/runner brought & DESCRIBED all bread & spreads & later Crudo plate, then LATER Sean arrives & FORCES his RE-hash of the same, yes, & WAY TOO LOUD. $200 & no booze. Would NOT rec or return. Corporate flavor. Morton’s & Ruth Chris & even too corporate Flemings way better. Ooo, the parking Valet told us that this Larsen’s location soon. Weird.

    The food is amazing. The outdoor seating was not crowded. It was cold, but the propane heaters really helped. Larson's is definitely for special occasions.

    This place is absolutely wonderful! The staff was amazing and the food was exceptional. I also loved the noise level it was pretty laid-back and chill but it also had a really fine dining experience. I will definitely go back there again! Also, the prices were pretty reasonable for how much food you get. You get a lot of quantity for your quality!

    Our first time here and it was amazing. The staff was really superior and catered to our party. The food is amazing!!! We had aged meats and regular meats both awesome flavor and textures. We had quiet a few of the side dishes but the best was the Mac and cheese and the sweet potatoes by far. Deserts were great as well. Server er paired our wine with each course beautifully. Need to come back for the seafood tower!!!

    Everything from the service to the food was excellent. I’m sad they’re closing in two weeks. At least I finally dined here.

    Too pricey although the food was good. We shared an entree/ soup/ salad with 1 cocktail and 1 glass of wine each + 1 shared dessert and bill was $400.00. Too expensive to come back any time soon.

    The food is above average, but the prices are unreasonably high. You can get the same quality food someplace else for half the price.
