The 15 Most Fun Dinner Spots In San Francisco - San Francisco - The Infatuation
"Over half a century after opening, this palace of beef is still one of the most fun places to have a meal in SF, full stop. Salads are spun and dressed from as high as the staff can reach, perfectly pink slices of prime rib are carved out of a roving silver cart, and the maze of dining rooms is constantly humming from the crackling fireplace, clinks from cocktail shakers, and birthday groups getting progressively tipsier. If you live in SF, coming here at least once in your life is required. Reservations open one year in advance (yes, you read that right). So if you’re a Type A organizer with an impressively stable lifestyle, reserve your ideal date 365 days ahead of time. If not, don’t worry, they take walk-ins nightly for the dining room and bar—you just might have to wait a few hours to get seated. Another move is to call ahead to ask if there are any day-of cancellations." - julia chen 1, lani conway, patrick wong
