62 years of loyal customers can't be wrong. We are grateful to all of our customers, employees, and critics (...though we may not always agree!). The only way to find out the truth is with a visit. Oft imitated, never duplicated. Thank you in advance.

Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: Open since 1949, this legendary destination is the king of San Francisco steakhouses. From luxurious carved-to-order prime rib rolled out on carts to chefs spinning salads to extra-large martinis with sidecars, every meal in the restaurant’s old-school dining room decked with ruby-hued booths is rollicking and unforgettable.

    We celebrated three birthdays and my retirement. Service was excellent as always and the prime rib was the best. We love this place and will be back soon.

    The service we received at our table left much to be desired. While my partner and I ordered the same meal we received very different cuts of meat. Hers thick and juicy with glistening levels of fat. Mine was quite different. She presented me with a thin sad piece with no fat and an inedible line of bone that ran thru 1/3 of the cut. I had ordered the house prime cut so 1/3 of my steak being inedible was disappointing. When I asked for another piece she brought back a sliver of meat that resembled a deli slice. I didn’t want to make an issue of it in front of my family so I withheld my dissatisfaction. Her attitude was curt and came off angry. She at no time made us feel welcome and mainly focused her attention in my wife. Next visit we request not to be seated in her area or service please, thank you.

    It was a great experience. I also feel the cost was very reasonable. We were lucky to get in due to cancellations. I did the notify me from Open Table and was able to grab a table that opened up.
