Izzy's Steaks Chops San Francisco

20 years ago, a few friends and I would make an almost weekly trip to Izzys. Now we are scattered in the Bay Area and beyond. We decided to reunion with Izzy's and it was fantastic. The food was fantastic. Large beef, generous and tasty sides, contain some excellent carmelised onions. Izzy's is a classic place with a classic steakhouse look. You will get a great food delivered with Old-School Straight-up-the-Middle, no BS, old school ambience and service. Nice to know consistency and value have the test of time

I made a special dinner for my husband's birthday for the second year in a row at Izzys. I asked an interior table and didn't expect it to be quiet as it is a living place. We sat between two huge parties and felt like we couldn't even toast our wine without feeling like we were part of the other tables. It was very disappointing and although the food was delicious and our server was wonderful, we will not return soon. Where we sat, we changed the celebrity of our evening. It felt as if the COMPLETELY host did not consider our request when other two-seat tables were available. Izzy is not reached to make it right.

A good steak dinner to a great value with excellent service.

Steak was under seasoned by far. Short rib had so much salt and wine reduction that I couldn’t taste the meat. By the time I forced myself to finish my $50 plate my mouth felt num. plenty of waiter and staff around for approx 1/4 of the capacity on a Sunday night but food didn’t come till 45 min later. Overall it’s just over priced and bad service. Did I mention the 60 years old hostess was rude and unapologetic for anything he says?

As good as ever. I’ve been coming here for 25 years or so. Not much has changed (which is good). The NY Strip w au poivre is not quite a Paris classic but it is damn tasty. Creamed spinach is the best restaurant version I’ve ever had. Also, the fried calamari remains perfect. Service can be casual and spotty but friendly. As long as that is your expectation all will be good. My only quibble would be the drinks are small/pricey. What I really enjoyed was the somewhat old school San Francisco charm. Blue collar-ish and thankfully devoid of typical Valencia street tech folks. Expect about $100/person with 3-ish courses, tip, taxes and SF 4% mandate.
