The Rex Steakhouse

"This is a very expensive restaurant. It is a steakhouse and this is clear from the somewhat limited menu which is mostly expensive cuts of beef. Both mine and my wife's steak were tasty but overcooked. The sides were large portions but again very expensive. The wine list is extensive with the average bottle price in the low 3 digits. The service was very good and the atmosphere is pleasant. If you're interested in spending in excess of $125/person there are better places to spend your dollars."

"The Rex Seaside Steakhouse is an anchor in Redondo Beach--a true example of what fine dining should be. Every detail reflects meticulous craftsmanship, from the thoughtfully prepared cuisine to the grace, class, and genuine gratitude shown in the service, all within a beautifully designed setting. My fiancée and I first visited shortly after they opened, and we were immediately impressed--not just by the food, but by the exceptional level of care. Since then, we've become regulars. For me, attentiveness and attitude can make or break a dining experience, and the team at The Rex consistently delivers world-class hospitality. The staff go out of their way to anticipate your needs and make every visit feel special. Some of my go-to dishes include the Captain's Shrimp and Wedge Salad, the Tagliatelle (I highly recommend adding extra kale), and the Short Rib, which is outstanding. All of the steaks are excellent, with the Filet being a personal favorite. The sides are thoughtfully executed, and we almost always finish with the Butter Cake, which is the perfect ending. The Prime Rib, available Sundays and Mondays, is also something special and absolutely worth experiencing. The Rex continues to set the standard for fine dining in the South Bay, and it remains one of our favorite places for a consistently exceptional evening."

"It was amazing and the staff was great. I set on the balcony and when I stared getting cold one of the servers brought the heating lamp near me. It looks beautiful inside, the music was not super loud which was great. Oh, the Porterhouse steak was delicious and tender."

"Rex Steakhouse in Redondo Beach exceeded our expectations once again. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and well taken care of. The atmosphere is refined yet comfortable ~perfect for a special dinner or an evening out with friends. We started with the octopus appetizer, which was beautifully presented and perfectly tender ~one of the best we’ve had. The ribeye steak was exceptional: flavorful, juicy, and cooked exactly to our preference. The restaurant’s wine selection is impressive, and our pairing recommendation complemented the meal perfectly. Our server, Micaela, was absolutely delightful ~ warm, professional, and attentive throughout the evening. Even though the steak took a little longer to arrive this time, the quality and taste made it entirely worth the wait. Rex Steakhouse continues to deliver a truly elevated dining experience, balancing exquisite food, excellent service, and a welcoming ambiance. We’ll definitely be back soon and highly recommend it to anyone looking for one of the best steakhouses in the South Bay area."

"This was truly one of the best dining experiences we have had in a very long time. My husband and I consider ourselves true food lovers, and we often find that many restaurants these days feel underwhelming or simply average. This place completely exceeded our expectations. From the very first bite, we were blown away by the complexity of flavors, the thoughtful textures, and the overall creativity of each dish. Every plate felt intentional, balanced, and exciting. It was the kind of meal where each bite made you pause and appreciate what was happening. The flavors were vibrant, layered, and unforgettable, truly a flavor explosion in the best possible way. The cocktails were equally impressive and complemented the food beautifully. It is rare to find a restaurant where both the food and drinks are executed at such a high level, but this team absolutely delivered. We also want to give special recognition to our server, Cole. He was attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and added so much to the overall experience. His service was warm and professional without ever feeling intrusive. We have been fortunate enough to dine at Michelin-starred restaurants, and this experience easily stands among some of the best meals we have had. The food, drinks, service, and atmosphere all came together perfectly. Huge compliments to the entire team. Please keep doing what you are doing, the service was wonderful, and the food was absolutely outstanding."

"As a longtime patron of The Rex--having dined here since its opening--I can confidently say it has filled a much-needed niche for a premier steakhouse in Redondo Beach. The service is exceptional, with every staff member--from hosts to servers to management--attending meticulously to details and accommodating special requests with grace. The cuisine is outstanding: steaks are grilled to perfection, accompanied by remarkable sides and desserts. Standouts include the filet mignon with garlic butter, the superb steak tartare, the exquisite lobster gnocchi, and the newly added scallops over risotto (now a personal must-order). The meal is elevated further by the warm bread with butter, the captain's grilled shrimp, and the unforgettable butter cake for dessert. One note: the restaurant is consistently busy, so reservations are strongly recommended. On peak nights, the lively atmosphere can make intimate conversations challenging."

"Zack our waiter was awesome and his suggestions were perfect. Steaks were better than Mastros or Flemings. Sides were ok. Atmosphere was nice. A little small but cute. Menus light up and my kids thought that was cool."
