    Our reservation was honored on time. My spouse ordered sand dabs and I had a salmon salad with clam chowder. Everything was excellent tasting and well prepared. Dessert was carrot cake which was a generous portion, also excellent. Service was great, getting us on time to get to a performance on time.

    John’s Grill is one of my most favorite restaurants in SF. The staff are efficient and friendly. The ambiance is great, and I enjoy taking first-timers to this gem. The food is great, and my favorite is Jack LaLanne seafood salad with a glass of Chardonnay. Steaks and pasta dishes are great too! Make a toast or two to Hammett, Bogart, Astor, Greenstreet etc. Save a bit of time to check out The Maltese Falcon and other film noir items upstairs. Enjoy the day!

    We really enjoyed our dinner at Mastro’s. Everything was cooked to perfection and extra delicious (Lobster bisque, branzino and a filet mignon). The service was on point, and fast as we were heading towards an opera show afterwards and we didn’t have time to linger. We’ll come back!
