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.

Tough to get reservations but we were able to secure one 4 months out in advance. Don’t let them rush you through service and enjoy the ambiance

We love taking the kids here now that they are old enough to enjoy the experience. The service is amazing. The food is the same, every meal meets the high standards they set for themselves. Every bite is delicious. The kids devour the salad! But the service- it makes it the amazing experience. We can not say enough about how thoughtful and attentive the staff are.

The temperature of the prime rib needs to stay consistent. This time it came a bit overdone to my liking but I still enjoyed it. Also the dirty martini was too heavy on the gin and not enough olive juice. It could be due being a Saturday night and it was really busy. But overall it's still my favorite place for prime rib and all the accompaniments. This place will forever have a place in my heart.

We went for my Birthday and it was such a fun evening. The hustle and bustle is fun. The server was super attentive and everything tasted amazing. We got the King Cut seared and it was super good. Next time I may get the classic way not seared cuz that’s also amazing !
