    I ordered the 16oz prime rib and it was excellent. My friend tried the 22oz 30 day aged new York stripe, and it was quite good as well. The service was great and the only reason why I'm giving them 4 star was the our server was not wearing a mask and I could feel his spit as he was asking us how was our food. Not the best experience feeling the waiters spit all over you, and most likely your food, regardless if pandemic times or not.

    I had a really good time when I took my daughter here. The atmosphere is cozy and functional. The staff are all very kind and helpful. I don't remember my servers name but she's a young woman with very pretty, dark, curly hair. My daughter and I ordered the goat cheese appetizer and a steak dinner each. The goat cheese platter was perfect as an appetizer, not too much and not too little. The tomatoes and garlic was perfect with the bread and goat cheese. Our steaks came out perfect, it's the first time I found a place that knows how to cook a steak to the temperature requested! Also, their steak absolutely doesn't NOT need steak sauce as other establishments. Such a rare find. I also spoke with the manager Selena and she was extremely polite and warm, making me feel very welcomed and appreciated as a patron. I will definitely come back for more amazing food and top notch service!

    We had a great meal, and an even better server. Ask to be seated in the section Ray is working. He is very knowledgeable of the menu, has a deep understanding of wine and alcohol, and gives great customer service. We ordered a 10 year aged port and crab cakes to start, and for the entrees we had steak and lobster. The rib eye is to die for. It was cooked to perfection. A guy named Nathan, who I believe is some kind of manager, checked up on us as well and had great customer service. He made sure that everything was living up to our standards. It was our first time coming here but it definitely won’t be our last. I highly recommend the food here, and once again our server Ray was great.

    Came here for my 3 year anniversary with my boyfriend and was greeted with judgement, from what I can assume was because we are young or colored? Me and my boyfriend are 18 and I’m Mexican, while my boyfriend is mixed Mexican and black. We entered and was greeted by kind staff then a king waitress but then as the night went on we noticed a very tall man in a suit looking at us with judgement, walking by checking on every table except us. From what I can assume it was a manager. But we go on regardless and I have a seafood allergy and looking at the menu the whole appetizer menu is basically unavailable so disappointed I don’t order any, and just get the spaghetti without the shrimp. The spaghetti is mediocre but my boyfriend said his steak was extremely good but the real star was the chocolate soufflé if you choose to come here its is the best thing on the menu.

    Order a Ocean Blvd to start the night, crab cakes were delicious as well as the BBQ shrimp. For the main course we ordered 60 day 18 Oz bone in New York ribeye, I was NEVER a steak eater before. For some reason middle of last year I started craving steak out of no where. This is now my fourth time eating a steak. Ruth Chris was the first, it was about 7 out of 10. The one I made myself was about a 5, I bought another from somewhere it was definitely a 2 and almost made me not want steak anymore. But this one I got from 555 was absolutely a 10. And that's before I used the sauce on the side.

    Love it!! Food was just amazing!!! Cooked just right !! Service was exceptional !! Ever since me & my husband entered the restaurant server, manager and couple other works was checking on us to make sure everything is Okay and we don't need anything!! We ordered from the daily cut 45 day dry cut steak, was the best steak I ever ate in my life !! Was somehow pricey but worth it !! And after having our main dish we ordered chocolate lava cake was just delicious but couldn't finish it. Honestly was an exceptional experience. Would definitely visit it again

    A few days late on my review... For this being our 1st time to dine at 555 E Steakhouse, we had a great time. The staff, from the valet to the hostess to the food servers, everyone we encountered with was nice & courteous. Our waiter, RAY! 2 thumbs up. His approach, customer service was absolutely awesome. His presentation from start of breaking down the menu to his recommendation, along with his personal favorites was impressive. His explanation on flavors of the steaks, was on point. Ray was very attentive, not only with us but with all his other guests. Next time we visit, we will be requesting that he be our server. Keep up the good work & awesome customer service skills Ray! Thank you! Now a review of the food...We left stuffed & happy when we left. Everything we ordered was amazingly good. From the crab cake, goat cheese platter, sides (butternut squash, garlic mashed potatoes, loaded baked potato & caesar salad), Chilean Sea Bass, 45-day aged Porterhouse & 45-day aged Ribeye and lastly classic butter cake, all was flavorful & tasty. Truthfully, butter cake can be more moist, but that's just my opinion. Overall we were satisfied! Which is yet another reason, for going back. Let us not forget about the entertainment that night, that gentleman at the piano, amazing. The music selections he played that night was great. Got us feeling the music vibe & even got us reminiscing our childhood.

    Came here for date night. My partner and I have never been to a "fancy" steakhouse before so we decided to come by here. It was incredible!!! I order a soup, I can't remember which one but it was very flavorful. I want to say it was some lobster soup. The table also comes with fresh bread and butter. I ordered a fish dish with some vegetables. I wasn't too impressed with it because the portion was pretty small but the fish was fresh. My partner ordered a filet mignon with a baked potato and that was literally the best steak I had ever tasted. The baked potato was out of this world too!! The flavors were perfect and satisfying!

    555 East American Steakhouse is a must try if you are in the Long Beach area. The place looks upscale and has a nice atmosphere. I ordered the NY steak which came with mashed potatoes. I always appreciate a high-end restaurants that at least offer you a side with steak and not charges you an arm and a leg for a side. The steak had very good flavor and it was easy to eat.

    Had a great time at a work Christmas dinner here. The steak was awesome as was the broccolini. We topped it off with the butter cake that was just amazing. Will definitely suggest this place to my friends and will be back.

    So worth them $$$. We had a blast! The waiter was so engaging. He had us do movie trivia, dinosaurs, and animal names… No phones could be used. This kept us busy while our meal was being prepared and during the time he stepped away. This was a first and we loved it! Food… simply delicious to the last morsel.

    Good atmosphere and great service with average steak. Lobster was not fresh and steak was tasteless.

    Absolutely fantastic service, atmosphere and food! The parking gets a little tricky if you don’t wanna do valet but that’s downtown Long Beach for you. Make sure you ask your waiter or waitress their recommendations! Ray was so helpful guiding us through the menu and what wine to pair with it, we loved every single bite. Please DO NOT leave without getting the goat cheese appetizer or the crab cake, both were my favorite appetizers. I got the surf and turf, and they ended up substituting the filet mignon for one of their New York steaks, which I absolutely loved. And just when you thought you couldn’t eat any more, the butter cake comes and blows you off your feet. Also highly recommend the Sherly Temple, the cherries are some kind of fancy variety that I have never tasted before and I was so impressed. Amazing experience!! The only reason I took off one star is because it took us about two hours to get our food. We came on a Wednesday night and had a reservation, but when an hour and a half past and we hadn’t been served our main course we got a little impatient and asked our server. He said that the kitchen was backed up, but our food would be out and the next five minutes-ish. About 15 minutes later our food came, and we noticed that none of them were especially hot. On top of that the dishes all came out about five minutes apart so we had about seven people in our party and maybe 2-3 dishes came out at a time and then five minutes later another dish would come out so it left us in an awkward place of some of us having food and just staring at our plates while waiting for the other dishes to come out. We had a reservation at 6:30 and we ended up eating a little past 8:30 and it just made our night later than we wanted to spend on a Wednesday. I think we left at 9:30 or 10 by the time everyone was done with dessert and the check came. But I will easily look past all of this and definitely will be coming again because the service and food were all outstanding.

    Wow! Just let me tell you this steak MELTED in my mouth. I was hesitant about the price before coming here but yes it is worth it!! They are also super receptive to allergies which is great! Just let them know. The beets came with pine nuts as well FYI. Joe at the bar knows EXACTLY what he’s doing and is fantastic at making drinks! Highly recommend stopping by and letting Joe serve you a cocktail!

    The Spanish octopus a la plancha is a must order appetizer! You won't regret it. For the main plates, we had the bone in rib eye and the pan seared yellow fin tuna ahi plate. The tuna came only with a side of white rice. I think it should be salad but that's my opinion. Both plates were still flavorful and delicious. We ordered the Roasted beets salad on the side and it comes with yogurt and goat cheese. The ambiance is comfortable and cozy. Very heart warming as they have the Christmas tree and lights out. Our waiter was amazing and very knowledgeable. We had tons of questions about the food and he was able to answer all of them. He also made sure we were well hydrated.

    We went on a date night and had an awesome steak to celebrate our relationship. The service was as good as the steak, it was perfect. Great vibes, love pianist, good atmosphere, cool clientele. Loved every moment.

    My best friend had her birthday dinner here, and the service and food were excellent. They had messed up our pre-fixed menu, so we had to wait for them to re-print the menus for our party, but they comped an order of oysters for the entire table. Our servers were fantastic, and overall we had a lovely experience. The Triple Nickel/555 has never let me down with their quality of service and the food has always been consistently top tier.

    My server was Russell who was amazing with the service and knowledge of the menu and steaks. The ambiance was awesome the interior reminded me of an 1980s NY steakhouse or something. They have an outdoor patio as well and private dining rooms. Bar seemed legit, food and steak was amazing and service was superb!

    Great service and even better steaks. Excellent atmosphere for our party of 6. Got the ribeye medium rare and it was perfectly cooked. Even became adventurous and tried the Spanish Octopus appetizer...it was delicious. Been here for my birthday the last 3 years will keep coming back!

    Delicious food and great customer service. Nice place to eat and hang out with friends and family. We took our children with us and had a great time.

    Fancy steak house with option to buy by the ounce. I'd give it 4.5 stars, but i rounded up. Steaks were good, but nothing special. Food - it was good, but didn't impress. they had options to buy by the ounce, so i shared a 120 day aged rib eye. It didn't seem as tasty as other steaks. it was still good, but nothing special for the price paid. other people at the table also ordered aged steaks while others just ordered the normal. we did informal taste test and no one could really tell difference. we also ordered octopus, goat cheese in grape leaf and artichokes (not as good as Hou_____) The baked potatoes were huge and looked good. i'm not a baked potato fan because i think they fill you up, but it was a spectacle. Ambiance - old school steak house feel, but more progressive wait staff. The look and initial feel was "old man steak house" but the servers and host kept the atmosphere more young and modern. Cost - only a little bit more than normal steak house. when they sell something by the ounce, you need to prepare yourself. And it is weighed "pre-aged" so you actually get less with the aged steaks. Service - the servers and host kept the atmosphere up beat. generally good service.
