    Steak and eggs. Brunch menu item: 4oz petit filet mignon with breakfast potatoes and 2 eggs for $35. It’s not a filet mignon. It’s a 1/4 inch thick piece of junk meat that in no shape or form is a filet mignon. They told me it’s a thin sliced ribeye, hence a “petite filet mignon.” Um, what? How is a thin sliced ribeye a petite filet mignon? Gave up arguing with the “menu designer” who insisted it was a petite filet mignon. No matter how thin you slice a ribeye, it’s never gonna be a petite filet mignon. I said I wouldn’t pay $35 for that junk and they took it back and I ordered another dish. Shame on you, Blind Butcher.

    The steak was surprisingly the worst thing we tried. I highly recommend the prime rigatoni, brussel sprouts, and creamy mushroom.

    Food is superb as well as the service. The room is a bit too loud; making conversation sometimes difficult. And the front half of the space too dimly lit for my taste.

    Food is good but pricey. Service person would disappear and we would have to call her over. It is really loud in there and could not hear each other.

    My husband and I came to dine for our date night, and we had high expectations as we had heard good things. But the service was poor, when the server came to greet the table, he never introduced himself, didn’t even explain the menu dishes or anything. Through our dinner we saw our server maybe twice, and once when ordering our starters, he asked me how we wanted the dinner spaced, which I believe he should take care of, but of course I had to give him instructions, the other time he came over was when we ordered our mains with, and he ordered the wrong dishes for us. Not only did he mess up, he didn’t even come to the table after such, and told us near the end of our dinner that he was sorry we didn’t like the dish, which again just not taking accountability for mistakes. It was ridiculous, another young gentleman, took better care of us, asking us how our dinner was. Overall just had a bad experience, and would recommend maybe being more attentive. We left early because we were so disappointed.

    Blind Butcher is a must in San Francisco if you’re looking for attentive service, great atmosphere, and all around delicious dinner. Eye contact and acknowledgement from each employee was also a nice touch!
