About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
  • Good for groups
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.

    The food is outstanding. However, we had to wait 25 minutes to be seated - even though we checked in 5 minutes early for our reservation. That felt unprofessional and is the only reason I'm giving 4 stars.

    We expected everyone to be in sport coats and nice attire, civilized behavior, gentle conversation. Delicious food. It’s baseball hats, loud tables, messy service. Our server appeared drunk. The meat was fatty. We were set between two loud tables of six on the main route the bathroom. Our reservation was made a whole 12-months ago. Eager with anticipation for a great experience, it was a phenomenal let down. I’ve had better experiences at McDonalds.

    Our go to SF restaurant and experience. We happened to be placed in the room on left (no fireplace) and the lighting was way too bright. Prefer the other dining areas with muted lighting. Love everything else as always and Trisha was a fabulous server as well as Ray our carver!
