Known forRibeyeNY steakLamb chopsChicken Milanese
A historic San Francisco steakhouse with old-school charm, famous for being mentioned in The Maltese Falcon. Order the ribeye (regular or aged), lamb chops, or Chicken Milanese—all consistently well-prepared—along with sides like Parmesan potatoes, mashed potatoes, or fresh green beans. Fair warning: it's a tight space that gets very crowded and noisy, especially on weekend nights, and there's no validated parking despite a garage across the street.
