Press picks, until locals rank their own Top 5s. Sourced from the local food press. As seen in The Infatuation. Updated August 2026.
House of Prime Rib · Nob Hill
The Infatuation. A decades-old Nob Hill institution built entirely on 21-day-aged prime rib, carved from roving silver carts in a chaotic, English pub-like dining room. Reservations open a year in advance; walk-ins nightly.
Harris' Restaurant - The San Francisco Steakhouse · Nob Hill
The Infatuation. A classic Nob Hill steakhouse with meat aging in the front windows. Eight mostly dry-aged cuts plus wagyu and prime rib, with live jazz; the guide favors the juicy New York steak.
The Vault Steakhouse · Financial District
The Infatuation. A windowless Financial District steakhouse inside a former bank vault, with live piano nightly. The tableside caesar and a caviar-topped potato pave upstage the steak itself.
Lolinda · Mission
The Infatuation (7.8). An Argentinian meat palace in the Mission under bull busts on the wall. A giant gaucho steak for two runs $82, served with chimichurri. The guide notes the sides are mostly missable and service can be slow.
Niku Steakhouse · SoMa
The Infatuation. The most modern and most expensive room on the guide, built around wagyu beef over a binchotan grill, with potatoes fried in wagyu fat.
