San Francisco Restaurant Guide - Steak Restaurants

Nearby Northern California and California's Central Valley are dairy and cattle country. And San Francisco, for all its green, eco-friendly and slow food aspirations, is still a city that loves steakhouses and steak restaurants. For surf and turf, Anzu downtown is an excellent fusion restaurant that is not afraid to pair sake with steak. For plush, romantic dinners, Alfred's in the Financial District is a classic San Francisco steak house. For a chain steak house known for sizzling plates and juicy steaks, Ruth' Chris Steak House on Van Ness is a national favorite and is near the Civic Center and downtown hotels.
