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.

    Consistently delicious and generous. It’s well worth the money. Restaurant is packed and cozy so noise level can get a bit loud. Waiter was managing a lot so did not get the same level of service as prior years. (Did not get our double birthday celebration!)

    Got a table after being on the “notify” list on Open Table app. So excited to have gotten an availability yesterday. Always love the food here and wobble out stuffed like a thanksgiving turkey but always well worth it.

    Waiter was professional. Ambiance was incredible, the vibe had 1930s feel to it.
