   We enjoyed our meal at Prime Rib at the Garden for a second time. The meat was prepared well and tasty, along with the au gratin potatoes and spinach. The menu stated that peppermint tea was available, but when I ordered it they brought something else. The service was great and the ambiance was soothing. We will return.

   The food was amazing; menu is limited, but simple is fine when the craft is perfected. Service was awesome, the ambiance was great.

   Food was great. They do need more appetizer and side selections. All in all it was a great time with great food.

   Gave them a second chance. First visit was very bad. This time service was good and food was great. The bread situation has been addressed. Enjoyable dinner.

   It's a beautiful restaurant in an excellent location for a date night! The service was okay, but it could have been better, especially since it was a slow night. The food was well-seasoned, but the prime rib was a little tough.

   The food was fantastic, the service perfect. Just a couple of things. Our fist time there. We were seated at the first table from the door. It’s January and the cold was unbearable. I asked to be moved and they did accommodate us (that was excellent). But why would they seat anyone there at all is baffling. There was a bread plate as part of the table setting, but no bread was offered. Again just baffling, not to detract from the truly wonderful food. Finally, I’m a pretty light eater, the food was so great, the potatoes and the creamed spinach,I decided to take home the left overs, I usually don’t. The waiter boxed up. When I got home, only the steak made it into the box. I was so disappointed.

   It’s just ok. Still worth waiting for SF House of prime rib. The Garden’s food is just ok and doesn’t taste as fresh as the original HOPR. There is only one bathroom stall. Service was fair. The restaurant itself is one large room with a small elevated level in the side but there is no privacy between tables. Everyone can see every single person inside the restaurant- no walls or dividers. I probably won’t be back

    We're longtime customers of the House of Prime Rib in S.F. and have always considered it the gold standard for our favorite cut off beef. Prime Rib at the Garden fell short of our expectations. The meat, while attractively presented, was not nearly as tender and flavorful as we had hoped it would be. Ditto with the two salads -- both just so so. And the garlic mashed potatoes were missing the garlic! Desert was excellent and so was the ambiance service. Too bad the food was a disappointment. The noise level was fairly high as well.
