Worth a try
Sunday, March 30, 2003
We were disappointed to learn they ran out of prime rib and it was only 7 PM. Steaks (rib eye and porterhousewere) satisfying and cooked as ordered but flavor not particularly unique - didn't exactly dance on my tongue. Atmosphere pleasant but a bit cramped. Service friendly bordering on condescending, perhaps they need to ease off on the sales pitch and food display - this is S.F. and most people know what asparagus looks like. Everything is a la carte but side dishes are big enough to share - as simple and honest as it was I was particularly impressed with the mashed potatoes. Wine list blew my mind, I thought the prices were misprints.
Nice place, certainly worth trying, but for the money I prefer the food and ambiance at Harris'.
Pros: Quality steaks, Good location
Cons: Out of prime rib, Annoying sales pitch, Wine list - OUCH!
