I am an unabashed carnivore who loves beef and seafood. I will try and guide you to some good options for seafood or meat.

The Best Steakhouse in San Francisco

A lot of tourist guides will tell you Alfred's is the best steakhouse in San Francisco,

Of course, I formerly listed it in this guide and they closed, originally to remodel, then a couple years into the project, COVID struck and the owner threw in the towel.

I do fondly recall my first meal at Alfreds, and it was no doubt the best the first time I experienced their Filet Mignon and Lobster. Anyway, many things fade into the memories. I will give you some restaurants to try and experience a great meal.

Alexander's is a good expensive restaurant that features good steaks.

Highly recommended are the 2 lb bone in ribeye or the $100 Kobe Steak.

They have an extensive wine list. They feature both American Beef or authentic Kobe Japanese Beef. The meat is dry aged 28 days. It is privately owned.

Bobo's

Boboquivari's (aka Bobo's)

Positively the best steak you've ever tasted-prime, dry-aged 4-6 weeks.

  • Sizzling steaks
  • Roasted dungeness crab
  • Asian-Italian fusion

Bobo'is a stylish twist on the traditional steakhouse. Chef Andrea Froncillo has created a delectable menu that blends steak, crab, Asian-Italian fusion and comfort food. The stars of the menu are "the steak" and "the crab." Iron skillet-roasted mussels, shrimp and crab are the co-stars. The stage is set for a perfect evening of entertainment and feasting with friends.

Conveniently located on 1450 Lombard St. near Van Ness. Open seven days a week. Complimentary Valet Parking.

While the better steakhouses dry-age their beef up to 21 days, Bobo's has its certified Prime dry-aged four to six weeks for a steak that cuts like butter and is melt-in-your-mouth good. Pan-searing with a hint of garlic and rosemary creates a crispy caramelized exterior that keeps the juices, and the flavor, locked inside. A not-to-miss dish is the bone-in filet mignon, which arrives at the table thick, sizzling hot and perfectly medium rare. A cut rarely seen in restaurants, the bone adds immense flavor to the filet that sets it apart from its boneless brethren. To ensure each steak is perfect, the components of the porterhouse are separately cooked and then delivered on a single platter. Seafood options include whole-roasted Dungeness crab drizzled with messy but addictive garlic butter, and sizzling iron skillets of mussels, crab and shrimp. For a side, go with the thick-cut sweet Maui onion rings, lightly fried until golden brown.

Mortons is a chain, but they are very high quality. They are located in Union Square, and are within walking distance of many hotels. Their dining rooms do not shout out chain, but they do offer consistency in all their locations.

Mortons features grain fed Midwest grown Prime Beef, and they sear the steaks at 1800 degrees to seal in the juices.
