    Food, service, atmosphere, everything was epic. It was the perfect place to spend the last night in San Francisco. We were led to a table with the best view, and our waiter Michael offered us great service. Medium-rare cooked Porterhouse was one of the best steaks I’ve ever had. Thank you for the unforgettable memories on our very last day in San Francisco:)

    Fantastic staff! Everyone was smiling and polite. It was by far the best brunch menu I’ve seen in the city in a long time. Also, I loved the espresso martini with coconut vodka. The bartenders, Aaron and Enrique, were very innovative. Our server, Roger, was attentive and new the menu very well. This was our first time there and we will be back!

    Beautiful spot on the water - nice outdoor and indoor spaces. Would not get the NY again but had good ribeye on prior visit, wish they had more vegetables options. And the desserts are big and heavy , only need one, if at all. The very attentive service and the view really up the experience

    Great steakhouse, the meat was cooked to perfection, the side dishes were fantastic, the wine selection broad, apart from some minor service issues (wrong steak brought out, corrected in 5 mins), a great experience. Sit outside, the views of Bay Bridge as fantastic at night!

    When I travel I typically look for a great fine dining experience and EPIC did not disappoint. I went for dinner and had the wedge salad, ribeye, truffle mac and cheese, and pineapple upside-down cake for dessert. The wedge salad and the truffle mac and cheese was the beat ever! I was a little underwhelmed by the ribeye but it was still tasty. I had a table outside with a magnificent view of the Bay Bridge and a gorgeous sunset! I would definitely visit EPIC again.

    The food was fantastic especially the steak - we ordered fillet mignon and ribeye steak each. Crab cake was also very tasty and has good portion of crab inside. We sat indoors and had a good view of the bride. The location, food and service was really excellent. Highly recommend for a special night/date!

    Excellent ambiance, convenience and serendipity. A public figure I admire was being feted right near our table. So much fun. Evening was marred by the waiter, new to us, overly familiar and he kept touching one of the females at our table. She was not happy.

    Three of us to Epic for Sunday brunch. We shared a bottle of Veuve Cliquot yellow label, a deal at $42. That was pretty much the only deal to be had. Prices are steep, but the good is very well prepared, presented and served. We started with a tray of fresh pastries consisting of an apple tart, blueberry muffin, chocolate chip scone and maple turnover and whipped honey butter. All were excellent. That should have been enough but we then followed that with crab cake eggs Benedict, steak and eggs. And sides of Julia Child potatoes and millionaire’s bacon. The Greek yoghurt panna cotta with grilled peaches was the best thing I’ve tried in a while. Though a bit too much gelatin and honey, the flavor was dreamy. The pineapple upside down cake was topped with panna cotta too. The bill was close to $300. Worth it? I definitely think so for a special occasion.

    Started with Bloody Mary’s and the breakfast pastries both were were absolutely wonderful.. the peach tart was amazing. I ordered the BBQ plate with a side of French fries and my partner ordered the Crab Benedict with a side of Julia Child Potatoes. He loved the Benedict and the potatoes. That potatoes were very good. Now for the BBQ.. I could not recommend this entree. Now I should say my stands for BBQ are very high. I lived in the Kansas City Metro area for 10 years and I ate a lot of GREAT BBQ. The EPIC BBQ plate lacks flavor and seasoning. The only highlight on the plate was the Texas Toast. However the side of fries were good. Crispy and correctly salted. Service was wonderful all around and the view is hard to beat.

    We booked Epic Steak for our wedding meal. Just my Husband and I had flew from England to San Francisco to elope. This restaurant did not disappoint, from the moment we got there all staff were so kind, polite and gave their congratulations. Our server (who was amazing) got us started with some bubbly and a congratulations card which I thought was a lovely touch. Food was outstanding could not fault it. Overall I’m so glad I booked this restaurant for our wedding meal, the perfect end to a perfect day and if we ever come back to San Fran we will definitely be back!

    We really wanted steak the night that we went and stumbled upon Epic. We first started off with the bread and butter and the beef tartare, it was a good and fun try. Let me tell you, of all the places that my husband and I have been, that steak was one of the best. Although mine was a little over cooked it was delicious. The side dishes, between us we shared the potato purée, truffle Mac and cheese and the mushrooms. All the sides were so good and enough for the both of us to share. Along with the food being immaculate we had an amazing experience with our server who made the night even more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this spot again and again.
