5.0 of 5 stars. I waited to write a review until I ate here a second time. I'd had a few drinks and was extremely hungry when I went the first time, so I wasn't sure I was objective. I went back sober two weeks…

1.0 of 5 stars. Alfred's Steakhouse seems to be one of those places that has been resting on its laurels for the last hundred years or so... Most of the clientel seemed to be almost that old, so maybe the restaurant…

4.0 of 5 stars. Hubby has declared, "this is HIS favorite steakhouse". I beg to differ. There's something about Ruth Chris' rib-eye steak flodded in butter that I truly love. I recommend their awesome Chernobyl-sized…

5.0 of 5 stars. My favorite restaurant. The waiters and red leather booths are dreamy. Go on a Sunday or Thursday night, get the school night special. I get the caesar, filet mignon, whatever dessert (you never…

WORST SERVICE EVER

My dinner companion and I were treated the most shabbily at this premier San Francisco restaurant. We waited an HOUR AND A QUARTER before the waiter acknowledged that we had been waiting so long. He blamed it...

1.0 of 5 stars. We had wanted to go to Levende Lounge, but it was a Monday night and therefore not open. I was with a group (work )and 1 of the guys really wanted a steak bad. We were in a limo and the driver…

Yelp.com Review - by Robert M.

4.0 of 5 stars. A retro appeal that's not quite kitsch and not quite cool. The bar, hidden off to the right of the entrance, could be a hipster hideaway if not for the lack of hipsters. Quite expert bartending and…

Yelp.com Review - by Colleen B.

5.0 of 5 stars. Pretty much my favorite steakhouse in The City. The location is in a quiet alley, making you feel a little like you're entering a speakeasy. The barstools are oversized and cozy, bar staff are…

5.0 of 5 stars. I used to be a House of Prime Rib advocate only. However, after I had the Porterhouse here (32oz) I just have to say it was fantastic. The steak was perfectly cooked and the sides of Ravioli and…

5.0 of 5 stars. How have I not been here before?! So the other evening, a cute boy talks me into a few post-work cocktails ... and he has the perfect place in mind that "I'll just love" ... not that I'm a tough…

Fixed 17% tip -- horrid service

I was taken there by a boss as a reward. 2 of our orders were wrong. when this was pointed out the manager was abusive. Everyone felt terrible and embarrassed. Do not go.

4.0 of 5 stars. I'd never even heard of Alfred's and was very pleasantly surprised. The decor was typical steakhouse dark colors and wood.

2.0 of 5 stars. I was pretty underwhelmed by my experience here. I came for a business lunch with high expectations -- it's one of the oldest independent steakhouses in SF and one of the few that serve lunch. The…

3.0 of 5 stars. In every respect this is an old fashioned steakhouse (the swan faucets in the ladies room, Oysters Rockefeller, escargot, meat, men in dark suits who probably work for the tobacco lobby), except....…

Take it from a MAN who knows a good steak, not some complaining stick in the mud...Best Steak House in San Francisco! Period.

I am a Northern California Native and a world traveler who not only enjoys great food, but gets asked on a daily basis; where to eat and what I thought of a place and my opinion in general, especially when it...
