Our family has made a family Christmas tradition of a weekend in San Francisco. We've also decided that the House of Prime Rib would be our restaurant of choice during this special weekend. Obviously the restaurant's name says it all. The presentation begins with an awesome salad -- spun right at your table. The soft beets (and I don't normally... more

Born in San Francisco and tried to relive the past by eating here. Bad decision. Prime rib loooked good but was tough. Salad OK but no choice for dressing. Noisy and crowded. Better food and value at other restaurants in the area. Decor is aged and just not a fun place. more

Fabulous prime rib and sides! Best in the Bay Area for sure. Service was good but not as great as I'd expected. more

The prime rib was tender and juicy, but wasn't the bee's knees. Good service, even though we waited 45 minutes to get seated with reservations. more
