"I've eaten at Larsen's Grill in Simi Valley many times over the last 5 years. The meals have been reliably good. Service has been all over the map, but generally good and sometimes great, depending on the server. I hadn't been at all during the COVID pandemic and was looking forward to my visit on October 1. It didn't go well. Ordered a bottle of wine, a Caesar Salad split for two, two Prime Rib entrees (one medium and one medium rare), and a Butter Cake split. Problems started with the wine. The server took quite a long to bring the wine and brought out the wrong bottle (same vintner, wrong wine). Went back to find the right bottle and came back with a different wrong bottle. It was a good 10 minutes in, so let it go and kept that one. The salad came out was okay. No real changes that I could tell. Portion sizing might have been smaller than pre-COVID, but it's hard to tell when you're splitting. The server brought out entrees while the salad was still on the table, and not close to being finished. The meat was overcooked (both portions well-done) and not even close to what was ordered. There wasn't a hint of pink in either of them. The Butter Cake was average. Less berry content than I remember. Weird dollops of whipped cream on the plate. Far too much of the raspberry syrup drizzled all over. The cake was broken up a bit and sort of messy looking. During the meal one of the floating floor staff who came by to refill water poured a decent bit of water on the table and basically laughed it off. It was an accident and nothing was damaged. It didn't need to happen and it was handled poorly. I won't be going back any time soon. I don't know if this location lost kitchen staff during the pandemic, if the server got the order wrong, or what happened with the pacing, but it wasn't a great experience. Food was fine. Service was weird. There are plenty of other places to get a good meal with better service."
