THE LKSD

5 stars. Let me say this place is not cheap but it hits the spots for my entire group. The Mac and cheese is the best I ever had and I eat a lot. The server was accommodating cuz we need to split the bill for 20 ppl. The drinks was amazing, atmosphere was cool and the area was cool. I can recommend this place to anyone. Get ready for $60 a head and have a great time.

AVOID. For real, just avoid it. Came in for a birthday tonight 3/7/25 so the man of honor could get the tomahawk steak. They shoved all six of us into a booth meant for five max, and dark enough to necessitate a small lamp on the table to even read the menu. I got the fillet, and everyone else in our party got burgers or sandwiches. The steaks were good, everyone else said the burgers were fine but overpriced. That's the vibe here btw--good enough food, expensive gimmicky drinks, but overall extremely overpriced for the product. Our bill was over $500 for this meal. The table was too tiny for the number of plates coming out, so we had to get creative to make room--especially for the steaks, as they came out on hot cast iron skillets. The skillets had handles, but unlike literally every other restaurant I've been to that does this, the handles were not covered by anything. It was just a hot protruding piece of metal. The table was very tiny for the amount of plates on it, so I put the skillet down in what I thought would be the least damaging way possible. As I shifted to grab something, my bare arm made brief contact with the skillet handle, but that was enough for it to cause a mild but painful burn. First of all, I was not offered a way to treat the burn. And I'm talking a wet paper towel to treat it would have been enough for me, but I was offered nothing even though one of their employees witnessed it happening. I pressed the cold glass from my drink to it, which is very much not how anyone should handle a burn but I was given no options. When I addressed the issue with our server, I was chastised ("we WARNED YOU it was a hot plate") and I was not given a sufficient answer as to why the handles on their skillets did not have covers. "This has never happened before," he said as explanation, as if that explains why a bar thought hot uncovered cast iron handles was a safe idea. I told him to his face that I doubted I'm the first person this has ever happened to because the tables are too small for the number of plates being put on them. He didn't really address it further, just kind of dismissing it more and trying to downplay my stinging arm. The server basically disappeared after that, except to bring us all ~complementary bottled waters~ and to bring me another cocktail on the house. At no point was I approached by a manager to address what happened. If they came by the table, they did not identify themselves. A responsible facility is going to make a note of anyone being injured for records, but I guess they can claim that I'm lying if I went after them for their negligence. Other than a free $18 cocktail and what were likely $8 bottled waters, they did not acknowledge that I had been injured. What I wanted more than anything was an apology, but instead I was blamed and plied with more liquor (and let's be real: if it WAS the customer's fault for the burn, why would they serve that person more alcohol?) The only reason I didn't push it was because it was my partner's birthday and I didn't want to bring the vibe down for my friends. The TLDR of it all is that they overcrowd tiny, dark tables and then put hot cast iron on it without covers, but it's YOUR fault if you get burned trying to navigate that. If you're in the Downey area and you want a tomahawk, go to 19Seventy in Whittier. It's a better dining experience, better quality food, a better health score, all for a similar price point and the servers won't blame you to your face for getting injured. For management since I doubt your servers understand how to handle this kind of liability: Photo attached to this review taken at 11:15PM on 3/7/25, of the lower part of my forearm, near the outside of my elbow joint. Burn occurred around 8:30-8:45PM same day. Untreated prior to photo. Review also posted verbatim on Yelp.

This place has ridiculously good steaks. That's what everyone comes for, and they are cooked perfectly. However, their seafood is really good. The burgers are top knotch and the drinks exquisite. The giant tomahawk is something two people share and is around $160 bucks. This place is a must try for sure if you're willing to put down some money.

This restaurant and bar is a gem! The burgers are absolutely delicious, and the drinks are top-notch. It's no surprise that it's always bustling, so be sure to make a reservation in advance. While it can get a bit loud due to the lively atmosphere, it only adds to the experience. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the cleanliness of the place didn't go unnoticed. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I can't wait to go back!

Great food and good atmosphere especially when the weather warms up. I will say that you should be careful of the drinks at the bar because you may get sticker shock when you receive the bill. Apparently drinks are doubles and the bar tender doesn't ask you if you want doubles. The glasses you are served look like regular glasses too so if you don't know about this you think that your getting just a regular drink. Also drinks are not cheap so your total bill will be higher than normal if you don't know about this. Please take a moment and ask specifics for your drink!!

Came here to celebrate a high school graduation and the steak was absolutely made to perfection! It is sizzling and hot when served and the quality of the filet mignon and the NY steak was a 10. The calamari appetizer is also. Great choice along with the Mac and cheese. Didn’t try the cocktails, this time around but I have in the past and they are made delicious. Highly recommend for a first date, celebration or a night out.
