Niku Steakhouse

Get A Table At The Hottest Restaurants In San Francisco With Chase Sapphire Reserve - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"San Francisco is filled with steakhouses where jacketed waiters carry out prime rib and martinis through spaces that look like we’re still in the midst of the Gold Rush. And no offense to those old-school spots, but Niku in the Design District operates in a different league. The inside is sleek yet comfortable enough that you can show up in a crewneck sweater and still get treated like someone who just arrived by private jet. At Niku, you’ll eat the fatty A5 wagyu, perfectly charred New York strips, and lean tomahawks that outsize a child's head. All of that meat is on display in the adjacent butcher shop, which looks more like a gallery than a place for hacking and splicing. Sure, dinner here is pricey, but that’s why we make a reservation whenever we want to power dine like a CEO, celebrity, and royal combined." - team infatuation

"A shiny gold door welcomes you to Niku, a buzzy, ultra-luxe steakhouse in the Design District.The swank, wood-lined interior features an array of cozy tables, but a seat at the handsome 18-seat chef’s counter allows you to watch Chef Dustin Falcon and company work their magic under the warm glow of the coals.Dinner might begin with perfectly al dente pea agnolotti in an airy butter sauce punched up with preserved Meyer lemon. Then move on the excellent steaks, like the Tomahawk built for two; or melt-in-your-mouth Imperial Wagyu filet mignon, served with 200-day-old kimchi, bordelaise sauce and sea salt. Don’t be afraid to use your hands to devour the Brentwood corn on the cob, charred to perfection on the grill." - Michelin Inspector
