"With its roaring fireplaces and dark wood paneling, the House of Prime Rib feels like an English manor. Since 1949, this restaurant in San Francisco’s Polk Gulch has served sliced prime rib from its stainless-steel carts — here, New Year will be a theatrical evening that starts with servers spinning the signature salad tableside on a bowl of ice while drizzling on the sweet, creamy dressing. The hearty meal — which includes crisp Yorkshire pudding, your choice of baked potato or mashed, creamed spinach or corn, and fresh-baked sourdough bread — calls for Rémy Martin XO in a classic cognac cocktail, such as a Sidecar or French Connection." - Vox Creative
