Diner Reviews

"Never disappointed. Special occasion or anytime. Best sweetbreads (dip the bread in the wild mushroom & cream sauce...)"
Dined on 4/12/2014
"We hadn't been to Harris' for a number of years and were pleased to experience the same delicious food and excellent service as we had remembered. The bar was delightful and felt old world while a small group played jazz music. There were four of us in our party and we all ordered different cuts of meat. Each of us was thoroughly happy with the cut, quality and preparation. We mustn't wait so long to return to this wonderful gem of a restaurant."

"am a VIP Open Table member and not been to Harris in 10+ years. The SERVICE WAS TERRIBLE. Rude not just by one waiter but several. We will be visiting again - Bobo's and Osso much better selection."

"steak was not as good as in other times we've eaten there service was not at all what is expected in a good restaurant would not recommend to other diners"

"Old school steakhouse. They age their steaks themselves -dry for porterhouse, wet for ribeye. Both were just right. Everything was nice. Would definitely recommend for a steak dinner."

"Great steak and meal. Our waiter was just "going through the motions," however the bus boy and servers were up to standard."

"Harris' is a San Francisco institution! Great traditional American Steak House with a wonderful menu and wine list and Old San Francisco charm!"

"My boyfriend and I decided to try this place after hearing wonderful things. It lived up to the hype. The food was delicious and the service was outstanding. We look forward to coming back for our next date night!"
Dined on 4/6/2014
"Harris is one of our favorite places to go when we are looking to have wonderful service, well made cocktails and excellent food. The seafood is always fresh and the beef is tender and perfectly cooked every time. It has a little bit of old fashioned service and style, but when it comes to a steak house I like the suits and dressed up feel. We have never had a bad meal at Harris' and come here again and again."
Dined on 4/4/2014
"We were seated right away as we were on time for our reservations. The wine manager was knowledgeable, energetic, and efficient. The waiter was disinterested or more focused on the task of getting our order as opposed to why we were there that evening. The serving assistants were on the ball and fun! We both ordered steaks and they were very dry. Waiter asked us if everything was done to our liking, however never stayed long enough for us to respond. Didn't bother to follow up later in the meal! We had to wave the waiter down in order for him to bring the check. We spoke to the wine manager telling him of our disappointment in our experience. He apologized and ask that we give them another try. No thanks. Disappointing!"

"Harris' has great steak choices and gives you what you pay for! However, be prepared for an expensive tab. Also, valet parking is free from what I recall."
Dined on 3/29/2014
"Few restaurants offer dry aged beef and wagyu. Harris' does. They are exceptional. You can almost cut them with your fork. We dined here about 12 years ago. It was a favorite then and did not disappoint this trip. Do not miss an opportunity to dine here when in SF."

"Every year we go to a Restaurant & Celebrate our Valentine & Anniversary together with our Son as this was treated by him !!!

"The "best steak in town" was a bit disappointing for the price. Nothing extraordinary. But wines and ambiance made for it."
Dined on 3/30/2014
"Harris is well known for its traditional seasoned beef which was, as usual, superb. What I love most is the traditional English decor and ambience. It's classic and classy, yet the leather booths are so comfortable that it is also very relaxed. The service while attentive is not hovering or rushed which adds to the comfort. It is very hard to find these traditional restaurants in America, so we really appreciate our special evenings at Harris."

"go to Harris..I love the prime rib, husband had buffalo ribeye, and daughter had steak Diane.. excellent..spinach is seasoned so deliciously. The mashed potatoes were perfect! This is my top spot for a fabulous dinner.."
Dined on 3/29/2014
"My wife and I celebrated my 74th birthday at the restaurant after a most enjoyable day in The City. We could not have found a more appropriate restaurant for the occasion. From appetizer to dessert, it was a feast for the eyes, nose and mouth. And in a setting with piano in the background, it made a memorable evening. I must say as well that Nick, our waiter, was a wonderful addition to the evening. He was completely professional, unobtrusive but as engaging as we wished. Consequently, we had a most pleasant experience with a very knowledgeable, humorous and helpful fellow. He added greatly to the experience."

"Once again Harris and its staff have come through. A friend visiting from outside the country wanted a steak…he did not leave disappointed…steamed clam special appetizer, followed by filet and finished with lemon baked Alaska….Great service by David at the bar and the entire staff…."

"Perfect Steak Great Service in a very Special privAte Atmosphäre ."

"The experience was a little lacking for a fine steakhouse. I will say the waiter and service were outstanding. Our Sommelier's experience with Malbec wine was limited, but with that said his recommendation was a good call. The prime rib was very good and cooked to perfection. My wife ordered the lobster and even though it was a good size, it was over-cooked and chewy, not what I'd expect from a high end restaurant. Over-all experience was good, and if you're looking for a good dry-aged piece of meat, this is the place. I'll be staying away from the seafood."
Dined on 3/14/2014
"The food, service and everything else was superb. I made a mistake on my date and the hostess was so accommodating-we had a table of six and she got us right in. Wonderful!!!"
Dined on 3/8/2014
"Other than they could not bring the wine we asked for, they provide a wonderful dinner to the both of us. We really enjoyed our time there."
Dined on 3/9/2014
"I've eaten at most of the steakhouses in SF. Harris' has the best steaks... period"
Dined on 3/6/2014
"For the price we paid, we were very disappointed with the service and the length of time it took to receive our food. It's almost as if as soon as the waiter realized we weren't going to order an expensive bottle of wine, he forgot about us completely, except to deliver our food, which was good, but not great. This may be a San Francisco institution, but there are about 10 other places I'd rather drop that kind of money to celebrate a birthday and feel welcome."
Dined on 3/7/2014
"Great food and old school steak house atmosphere. Would recommend requesting the library, very intimate."
Dined on 3/7/2014
"Old school steak house. Beef is not good. Too many better quality steak houses in this city than Harris. Service is outstanding too bad food is not. Valet parking $10. Only one toilet in M room."

"Was looking forward to a new restaurant but after the dinner was disappointed we hadn't been able to get into House of Prime Rib instead."
Dined on 3/2/2014
"Went for dinner for a special occasion. The service and food was great. Our steaks were cooked completely as we ordered. The waiters were considerate and gave us sufficient time to enjoy dinner. The booths are far enough away from others that you feel protected from any surrounding noise."
Dined on 2/27/2014
"Tables for two are limited and quite cramped. Better to go with four diners. Food and service were excellent. Clearly the best place to sit is a booth that accommodates four or more people."
Dined on 2/23/2014
"Excellent steak, service and cocktails. I'll be back"
Dined on 2/6/2014
"The food was great, best meat I have had in a restaurant. Also, the waiter was excellent."

"This was my second time at this restaurant. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this restaurant. I will definitely return again, next time I visit San Francisco. The food was delicious and the service was superb!!!"
Dined on 2/25/2014
"Food and service was amazing! This was our 3rd time here and we will continue to come back!"
Dined on 2/26/2014
"Harris' was great, but a little suggestion for improvement. I sat in an aisle chair at a booth table. I noticed the finish was very worn and scraped. This didn't affect my enjoyment, but for the price they charge, some of their profit should be used to restore these worn chairs. A little thing, but for $100 per person every detail should be exceptional vs. acceptable. Bottom line - service and food measured up."
Dined on 2/25/2014
"Awesome steak and even better experience! Great food, great service, great ambiance."
Dined on 2/24/2014
"I highly recommend this place for the amazing taste of their steaks. I liked their service, these guys are pros when it comes to service. The ambience is nice and quite the interior decorations are classic type where the richness of the place."

"I took my boyfriend here for his birthday, and I have to say that this restaurant is great for anniversaries and special occasions. The service was great, knowledgeable and attentive. The food was great too! The Steamed Clams Mariniere appetizer was excellent! I don't know what kind of mixture of a sauce they put in there, but it made the clams very tasty. We shared a Porterhouse Steak, which was great and properly cooked. A bit too raw nearer to the bone, but that seems normal, so it's okay to me. The evening's potato that came with it is yuuum. The Molten Chocolate cake was good, but was a bit dry for the outer layer. I actually liked the pecan ice cream on a wafer next to it. Great place!"
