Actually Izzy's isn't that expensive compared to most of the other steak houses in the city. Unfortunately, we also weren't all that impressed with them. If I was concerned about the budget, Izzy's would be a choice, or if I wanted the more casual atmosphere. However, that's not usually my concern. On my cooking page, at the bottom, there are reviews of three of the steak houses in the city <http://www.poubelle.com/cooking.html>. The relevant part of the review for Izzy's (and steakhouses in the city in general) would be: COMPARISONS Meat: Ruth's Chris still wins Izzy's someplace between the two Harris Sides: Ruth's Chris is best, Izzy's is better than Morton's Wine list: Morton's the clear winner here Dessert: Morton's wins here as well. Izzy's is down towards the bottom Service: Harris (SF) wins. Izzy's is in the middle someplace Atmosphere: Harris wins. Izzy's is very different, so it's not really a fair match -- certainly wouldn't feel bad about taking someone here. OVERALL Izzy's would be a fine place to go if you lived in the area, were stopping by after work, or were on a budget. For us, not worth a special trip to the city, or the "once every 6 month" nature of our meat eating. For us, Ruth's Chris remains the place of choice, although we may start bringing our own wine. And with that, we close up my rankings. I hope you found this at least slightly interesting or useful. CURRENT STEAKHOUSE RANKING 1. Ruth's Chris (SF) (best steak, best sides, excellent service) 2. Harris (SF) (best atmosphere,excellent service) 3. Morton's (SF) (best wine, best desserts) 4. Izzy's (SF) (best price/performance) 5. Harris Ranch (I-5) 6. Mister Steer (Santa Clara) 7. Outback Steakhouse (Cupertino) 8. Birk's (Santa Clara)

The comments are probably correct re: Ruth's Chris, but those are all over the country. The one time I ate at one I wasn't real thrilled. Izzy's on the other hand is a singular establishment that just happens to serve great steakhouse fare. The sides are rockin' and the Fried Oysters with Jalapeno Sauce are not to be missed. They also have my second favorite creme brulee next to La Frite in Sherman Oaks. Yummy! Lee

Houston's in San Fran is also a great place. It's on the Embarcadero.
