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.

                              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 !

                              Party of four for my Birthday. Food delicious as usual. Service was great. I would give a perfect review except that our table placement was odd. I understand they are trying to accommodate as many guests as possible but our table was at the end of a booth and in the walkway next to the big meat service table. I had made reservations months ahead so that was a bit disappointing.
