Very nice setting.Food tasted very good.Our order was accurate and was initially the service was good but tappered off very badly as the night went along.Had to ask for refills on...

Harris was pretty good 10/29/2005

Service was average. Food was real tasty, but a steak quality just a hair below below what you see at Ruth Chris or Mortons. Steak was juicy and tender. I had the Harris Steak. French Fries were outstanding. Service was relaxed and slow. They had a jazz bar playing in the non reservation room which was kind of cool and annoying at the same time. All in all I was pleased. more

JUST A WONDERFUL PLACE !! 9/28/2005

I've been to Harris' many times. Each time I am surprised by how beautiful this restaurant really is. The outside world just melts away. I love the booths in the dining room and the live jazz in the bar. The martini is served in a wooden barrell. The steaks are wonderful. Service is unobtrusive, but attentive. Anybody visiting this city has to go here. It's what the city used to be. It's when the evening dinner was an event. Pros: great ambiance, great food, great service more

Bachelor Party Gone Bad 9/9/2005

I booked my friend's bachelor party dinner. We were running late so I called at 6 to tell them it would be 8:30 not 8 o'clock...they said, "no problem." HA! We arrived promptly at 8:30 and had to wait for our table until 9:30. They squeezed us into the smallest table possible. Drinks etc are VERY expensive here with wine prices easily tripled and martinis run $10 or more. The Harris Steak was SMALL (for $31) and not cooked well, the salads were SOAKING in the dressing and the whole meal was just weak. Our waiter was inattentive ...he seemed only interested when we wnated to add additional wine bottles to the bill. The food was cold when it came...I know this place gets high ratings, but it is really slipping and I (we) won't go back. We can spend our $600 elsewhere and have a much better experience. Cons: late seated, cold weak food, poor service more

Enchanted evening! 6/5/2005

My husband and I honeymooned in San Fran., and wanted to go out one night for some good eats. Our concierge told us about Harris'. We took the cablecar to the nearest stop and checked in with the hostess. Right from the beginning we were greeted with a friendly staff. The evening turned out to be one of the best evenings yet - the food was oustanding and the ambience was awesome. Expensive but well worth it!! Pros: Yummo!, Excellent service, Cable car accessable Cons: Pricey more

Just Good. 11/10/2004

I've been to many steak places...this is my first in SF...is this really the best in SF? SERVICE: No problems as we went on a Thursday night. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable. AMBIANCE: Classy, typical steakhouse atmosphere, nothing out of the ordinary. FOOD: Had the Filet with Foie Gras on Top with black truffle cabernet sauce. I didn't care for the sauce much, but the Foie Gras and Filet combination was very good. PRICE: I thought it was a tad on the expensive side, but then again beef prices have gone up. OVERALL: Great, but not exceptional. Would I go back again? hmm....maybe...to try the ribeye or NY Strip. Pros: Good Steak, Filet w/ Foie Gras Cons: , Parking more

Carnivore's delight 10/24/2004

For great food like this comes a price. Wait times are long on the weekends, so I recommend recommendations a few days(even a week) in advance. Great menu, the cuts are incredible. But, make sure the dining party knows what they're getting into...enjoying a great NY cut or filet mignon. Vegetarians should look elsewhere. more

But, make sure the dining party knows what they're getting into...enjoying a great NY cut or filet mignon. Vegetarians should look elsewhere. In addition, the sides, salads, and wine list complement an excellent dining experience. I went with family but it's a great place to bring clients, a date, or about a group of 5-6. more

simply the best! 8/19/2004

this steakhouse is absolutely the finest one in SF. everything flowed perfectly, the service, the presentation, the martinis... then, the best part, the steak! it was heaven to eat. we lingered around all night not wanting to go and practically closed the place. a bit pricey but oh SO worth it. if harris' is out of your price range, then i recommend trying boboquivaris. a way more low-key place, but excellent steaks. Pros: food, atmosphere, service more
