While on vacation we had a short stay in San Francisco. We wanted a nice steak and decided on OSSO because it is not a chain restaurant. Wowza! What an incredible dinner experience we had. The location was great! Easy to get to even for our Waymo. The restaurant itself is very nice and has a very nice ambiance for a romantic dinner or even a business dinner. Dress code was business casual, but we were able to go in with dark jeans and a sweatshirt. The service was great from the host, to the waiter and bartender. The food was amazing! Highly recommend the house cheese bread! We couldn’t get enough of it. The wagyu ribeye was probably one of THE BEST steaks I’ve ever had. Delicious and so flavorful! We probably didn’t need to order the two sides because between the bread and the steaks we were in heaven! We live in Texas and OSSO quickly took the top spot on our list for favorite steakhouses we’ve been to. Can’t wait to visit San Francisco again!
Excellent service and beautiful place. We enjoyed an excellent ribeye steak - an incredibly juicy, tender, and flavorful steak with a buttery taste and a great texture.
Osso Steakhouse is one of those rare SF spots that feels like a step back in time—in the best way. The moment you walk in, you’re surrounded by old-school Art Deco charm, dim lighting, and that classic supper-club vibe that’s getting harder to find in the city. It’s a little tucked away and parking can definitely be a challenge, but once you’re inside, the experience makes it worth it. The service is attentive without being overbearing, and the food is the star of the night. The steaks are phenomenal—beautiful crust, perfectly seasoned, and cooked exactly the way you ask. The tomahawk and ribeye both came out rich, juicy, and full of flavor. Even the sides and starters stand out; the wedge salad with thick-cut bacon was a highlight on its own. If you’re looking for an old-school San Francisco steakhouse with character, great service, and elite steaks, Osso delivers. A hidden gem that’s absolutely worth the trip.
I wished if I knew this place earlier while staying in San Franc. Among many we tried in our August 2025 visit, this place was among the top tier. Their steak is outstanding along with the sides. Yet, their Burger was uniquely great, juicy and tender as good as it should. I must dedicate an appreciation statement to the Chef for his professionalism and devoting a high sense of customer care by serving the food in tune with our liking while maintaining that kicking flavor. On top of the great food, their service was attentive and our thanks to the guest attendants (couldn’t recall his and her name), but both took care of us right from welcoming all the way thru serving the food then greeting us on the way out. A sure repeat whenever back to San Fran.
Hands down one of the better steakhouses I’ve dined out. The hubby can grill up a mean steak, so we don’t often opt to visit steakhouses, but it was a special weekend, so we decided to try a new place. I had researched so many dif steakhouses and narrowed it down to this one which was by all means, the best choice. It was July 4th weekend so it wasn’t too crowded and getting a reservation was easy but my guess is on a regular weekend, it’s gotta be pretty crowded. What I liked about this place was that it had the old skool vibe with a modern touch. Keeping it short and sweet……food was delicious from apps, salads, mains to dessert. We dined with a foodie friend and her problem is that dessert is never good enough (she bakes so I can see that), but here, they passed the test; dessert was really good. We corked a bottle of wine at $35 (pretty cheap for a really nice steakhouse) and had some pre dinner cocktails (they make the best dirty martini and was pretty cheap for SF/steakhouse standards). The cherry on top? Our server, Thomas! OMG! WHAT A HOOT. I’ve met quite a few great servers, but Thomas takes the cake. Thomas was not only good at his job and super attentive to our group, but he SINGS apparently. Ha! He and the hubby were reminiscing about concerts and bolted out verses from songs they both loved. If only every server was like Thomas! I would definitely come back again and will try to make it a regular spot. Side Note: We ubered. Didn’t look like there was much parking around but really, who is trying to drive with such great cocktails served at this place.
