"If you’re looking for a touch of old-school San Francisco, John’s Grill has it in spades; peruse the historical photos, learn about the restaurant’s ties to the Maltese Falcon, and, of course, try the food and drinks. The lamb chops and Jack LaLanne’s Favorite Salad remain favorites, but it’s hard to go wrong with the restaurant’s mix of steakhouse and seafood favorites." - Dianne de Guzman, Paolo Bicchieri
