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.

Excellent as always - place was packed even on Tuesday night, but the food and service were great. Best value in the City if you can get a table. The only problem can be the noise, but that just means that you can be boisterous as well.

Great food and service. One thing though, I mentioned specifically that we were celebrating a birthday but it seems like the restaurant didn’t take note of it and asked us what we were celebrating anyways. No biggie but thought it was odd as open table specifically asks.

Service was impeccable, the food is SO GOOD! Had a glass of very nice wine along with my city cut prime rib. It was perfectly cooked along with all the sides. The baked potato alone could have been a meal. Such an excellent value as well. With all the fixings, drinks, dessert, and coffee it was $250 out the door for 2. Excellent way to celebrate a birthday!

Was super amazing as always, but we didn’t get any Yorkshire pudding! We didn’t realize until we were pretty much done eating so we didn’t ask about it, but big bummer because it’s my husbands favorite part! Otherwise; great experience and the food was amazing
