"Bobo's" is a stylish destination for the most exquisite steak and crab in the City. With antiqued red walls, colored glass light fixtures, and tablecloths, the restaurant is like a plush Venetian jewel box. Executive Chef-Owner Andrea Froncillo has created a delectable menu that showcases his signature steak and seafood creations. The steak is USDA-certified prime beef, dry-aged for four to six weeks - longer than anywhere else on the West Coast! Our award-winning bone-in filet was the 1st on the West Coast. The crab is Dungeness, harvested from the Pacific Ocean, and roasted in a savory garlic-butter sauce that is positively addicting.

    Went for Christmas. Was an amazing experience from beginning to end. The service was top notch, the food was delicious, drinks came out promptly, and the inside decor was very welcoming and unique. We started with the crab and artichoke dip, split the 2 whole crabs, and shared the garlic noodles and baked potato. Everything was so good, I highly recommend the crab!

    We were in San Francisco celebrating our 10th anniversary and decided to have some sushi. After much searching, I found this restaurant, which had great reviews. From the moment we arrived until we left, the service was exceptional. We were greeted with a happy anniversary card and some champagne. The food was delicious, and our waitress was amazing. We truly enjoyed our dining experience, and we will definitely come back.
