About the restaurant

62 years of loyal customers can't be wrong. We are grateful to all of our customers, employees, and critics (...though we may not always agree!). The only way to find out the truth is with a visit. Oft imitated, never duplicated. Thank you in advance.

Best dining experience in S.F., hands down. The prime rib is u paralleled but so is the service, which is like a performance.

Palo Alto

About the restaurant

Since its opening in 1974, prime steaks and martinis have never gone out of style at this Palo Alto institution. The atmosphere is very clubby with fireplaces, dark wood, sports memorabilia and plush leather booths tucked into the many nooks throughout the dining room. Famous for their slow-roasted prime rib & hand-cut U.S.D.A Prime Steaks, they also offer fresh seafood, cold water lobster tail & succulent shellfish. The 20 oz. Bone-In Rib eye Steak is the Boss’ Favorite while the Double Cut Filet Mignon runs a close second. Sundance is respected for serving the best food money can buy coupled with value & simplicity – a welcome relief for serious food & steak aficionados. The menu is supported by an award-winning wine list that features over 400 selections focusing on highly allocated Napa Valley Cabernets. Exceptional ratings & numerous restaurant awards rank Sundance the Steakhouse as a true dining destination.

Harris’ is the quintessential steak house experience. We offer dry-aged, mid-western beef, outstanding martinis, and an award winning wine list.
In our lounge we have live jazz nightly.

Although the lounge is available for more casual dining, we do have a dress code in the main dining room: please, no shorts, t-shirts or sportswear.

About the restaurant

"Bobo's" is a stylish destination for the most exquisite steak and crab in the City. With antiqued red walls, colored glass light fixtures, and tablecloths, the restaurant is like a plush Venetian jewel box. Executive Chef-Owner Andrea Froncillo has created a delectable menu that showcases his signature steak and seafood creations. The steak is USDA-certified prime beef, dry-aged for four to six weeks - longer than anywhere else on the West Coast! Our award-winning bone-in filet was the 1st on the West Coast. The crab is Dungeness, harvested from the Pacific Ocean, and roasted in a savory garlic-butter sauce that is positively addicting.

Though I have lived a few blocks away from Bobo's for more than two decades, this was my first visit to this delightful gem. The four-course Prix Fixe menu can't be beat. My dining companion and I each enjoyed the chowder and the petite filet with mash and creamed spinach, the "bread service" on the side, and the vanilla ice cream, all of which were delicious and perfectly sized. The filet is probably among the best I've had — perfectly seasoned and charred, no salt/pepper/sauce necessary. The place itself is really interesting — a funky and whimsical vibe, good 80s music that allows for conversation at normal volume, and not at all loud despite its being on busy Lombard Street. Service by Jose was top-notch — attentive and friendly without being pushy. There are private rooms available and I may book one for my next birthday party or something. One way or another, I'll be back for sure! 💯
