Looking for a Great 25th Birthday Dinner Party Spot in either Los Angeles, Torrance, Culver City, Hollywood, or the Long Beach Area

Hi,

I am throwing a surprise party for my friend and a party of approximately 12 -15 guests. She loves good Steak and Lobster. I am seeking something reasonably priced with varying menu items so guests with limited means can attend without feeling like they have to purchase $30 entre. It is also important there is a Good Atmosphere/Ambiance.

The majority of the guests like to drink so a bar with great cocktails is a major plus.

Places I had considered were: The Grand Luxe Cafe, Bj's,
Spark Woodfire Grill, Houstons, or Parkers' Lighthouse. My first suggestion of Lawry's was deemed too pricey.

Any recommendations would be wonderful.

Thanks,
Newbie

I could really use a few suggestions. I am a Fan of the site but never posted before. I need a reasonable restaurant great for 25 year old ladies with good steak or seafood and fun vibe.

What about the patio at Beechwood? The bar menu has a pretty wide range of small plates for those who want to order less as well as a grilled NY steak for $25.

Thanks,

Is this good for groups too? Good Atmosphere?

Yes, definitely. But I think it would be important to call in advance to try to reserve the long table on the patio.

As far as lobster, I think you might have a tough time finding a place that meets your other requirements given that lobster is usually a pricey item.
