Alfred's Steakhouse

Conveniently located in San Francisco's Financial District... up the alley from the Transamerica Pyramid. Since 1928, Alfred's has served the finest, mouthwatering, aged mesquite broiled steaks from the very best Midwestern corn-fed cattle. Such specialties as the kingly porterhouse, the magnificent chateaubriand, the flavorful Chicago rib steak, as well as fresh salmon fillets, and the broiled rack of lamb offer our guests a true culinary treat. We have one of the largest single malt scotch lists in the Bay Area. Select from over 100 labels of scotch or over 130 wines in Alfred's bar. Join…

The Scene – Set in an alley and seemingly back in time, this masculine steakhouse is a respite for those seeking steak and stellar service. Generous pours from the bartender make the crowd of mostly business diners feel like regulars. Red leather booths, burgundy walls and plush carpet heighten the historic charm. – – The Food – Aged beef is the star, so no matter the cut, it is served in its natural state unless diners request a pepper, garlic, bearnaise or chimichurri sauce. Using Alfred's Steak, a 20-ounce, bone-in New York cut, as a gauge, it is doubtful diners…

You really cant go too wrong at Alfreds,and the 41 dollar special menu is a great deal.you can chose soup(split pea was tasty) or salad(most people get the Caesar)You can chose either the New york or Ribeye(or the lamb) and both are HUGE and cooked just right.The only weak link is the deserts which are just so-so.All in all,its a great place when you crave a great steak plus it has a cool,old-fashioned decor and vibe.
Good Service, Boring Food

I took my girlfriend to Alfred's but we both weren't that happy with the food. The service A+(I'm server my self). Timing of every single thing were just right. Good coctails. I would like to tell you what exactly what I had but it was so boring and tastless, I can't even remeber it! I would never go this place again since there is far better steakhouses in the city! Oh by the way those uncooked meat by the entrance kind of freaky! It ruined my girlfriends appetite!
- Pros: Coctails, service
- Cons: boring and way too expensive food for its quality
Great steak and service!

The steak here is AMAZING! I ordered the petite filet with bernaise and my boyfriend ordered the biggest piece of ribeye i have ever seen. He loves his steak and i didnt think he was going to finish it (I swear it was the size of his dinner plate!.) My steak was cooked to order and honestly didnt need the sauce but it was a good complement to the steak. I have a weakness for shoestring fries so that was my side, can never go wrong with them. Dont forget to order a pomegranate martini...they are delicious! they leave the shaker and you get about 2 martinis out of it. I've recommended it several friends and they have all loved it!!! Service was outstanding, as expected.
PS The ceasar salad is the best i have EVER had!
- Pros: Steak, pomegranate martinis, service
- Cons: can't think of any
