We have wanted to dine at Harris Restaurant for some time and finally made it. Harris was everything we expected and more. The service is impressive, smooth and exceptionally orchestrated. Our filet, bone-in ribeye, and wagyu ribeyes were perfectly prepared and delicious. The martinis were spot on. The baked Alaska and cheesecake were to die for. And our leather booth in the spacious main dining room was perfect. A wonderful night and very memorable meal.

The meat was excellent, while the rest of the food was okay. The service was friendly, but the coordination could have been more precise, as it felt somewhat confusing at times. Even basic things, such as bringing the bottle of water to the table, was overlooked.

The service and staff were excellent. From the bartender who made a fantastic Manhattan to the hostess, Manda who was very engaging and friendly to Lucy our server who has been there for 20+ years, super friendly and accommodating. They all were very attentive and knew many of the people we know that go there. Felt like a homecoming Excellent experience for the whole group of five and to top it off they presented us with a fantastic array of desserts at the end of a fantastic meal, completing our celebration. Hadn’t been there in a few years and this experience will bring us back more often.

S.F.’s actual best prime rib might be at Harris’ Restaurant
The critic praises Harris’ bone-in ribeye and prime rib, saying she preferred its beef to House of Prime Rib’s. The steak Diane was overcooked, but the dining room’s ambience also earns praise.
Published in San Francisco Chronicle

FAQs

Yes, Harris' is well suited for date night, with live jazz nightly, a classic steakhouse dining room, and many guests celebrating anniversaries and special occasions there.

Friday nights are a popular choice, guests report Harris' can be packed then, yet service and ambience remain outstanding for a special evening out.

Portions tend to be generous, guests repeatedly describe the steaks as substantial, with some cuts large enough to enjoy again as leftovers.

Harris' often fills up, multiple guests describe the dining room as packed or very crowded during peak service. For a quieter meal, reviewers recommend the private rooms or the library area, which they call perfect for a quiet dinner.

Evenings are the sweet spot, Harris' lounge features live jazz nightly, and guests describe being serenaded by a jazz ensemble during dinner; if you prefer a calmer table, arriving a bit earlier helps avoid the crowds.

Harris' pairs a formal main dining room with a lounge/bar for more casual dining and live music, plus cozy booths and bar seating, and multiple private rooms (including a library/small private room) for parties.

Yes, families visit Harris' comfortably; guests report bringing children (including grandchildren ages 6 and 9) who enjoyed their meals, with patient, accommodating service during family dinners.
