This gorgeous Brentwood eatery only uses USDA Prime or better, so you know you’re in for a meaty treat. A suggestion: celebrate filet day by indulging in the restaurant’s Wagyu tasting menu with three options: a 3 oz. Snake River Farms rib eye filet, a 3 oz. Darling Downs N.Y. Strip from Australia and a 3 oz. marbled Miyazaki A5 Japanese strip loin. You can also enjoy cuts from its USDA Prime Steak menu, including an 8 oz. petit, a 12 oz. center cut, a 16 oz. bone-in and a filet tasting, and 4 oz. medallions with a selection of toppings such as creamy blue cheese fondue (featured above).

Chi Spacca
chi SPACCA is a restaurant from the dream team of Nancy Silverton, Mario Batali and Joe Bastianich, born of the wildly-popular family-style salumi night dinners hosted weekly at Scuola di Pizza, the previous occupant of the chi SPACCA space. The restaurant built the first “dry cure” program in LA so that it might experiment and perfect Italian charcuterie techniques in house. There is no filet here per se, but the tomahawk is a revelation.
