Editorial Review for Izzy's Steaks & Chops – by Citysearch Staff

The Scene
The wood interior, full bar and stone fireplace hark back to the Rat Pack era. Still, patrons dress casually and aren't afraid to be boisterous. The staggering collection of condiment bottles lining the walls and the cluttered display of business cards and memorabilia only add to the charm.

The Food
Two of the most popular choices are the juicy, delicious eight-ounce filet medallions coated with pepper and brandy sauce and the aged New York sirloin, both served with potatoes au gratin and creamed spinach. The menu also includes pork chops with cinnamon and apples, lamb chops and drunken shrimp slicked with beer and spices. The peppered swordfish with lime-chive sauce offers plenty of zing, while a slice of Key lime pie is a refreshing way to top off the meal.

Izzys is a SF Landmark. If you want to stay away from the bustling downtown area, please visit this place. Located in the Cow Hollow Yuppie district, this steak house, is more of an aging frat boy/visit SF bar. I could take a wedding party here, or I could go to drink heavily with friends. The cream spinach, is the best I have ever had, and the scalloped potatos are bar none. The only negative, is the steaks are sometimes off. You never know what you are going to get, so I guess for this place, its sort of the whole atmosphere. Its a dark hole in the wall, but well recomended. If you want an atmosphere that is very homey and San Franciscan, come here. Avoid the other locations, there no where near as good.

I used to look forward to Izzy's, but they seem to be having problems lately, in both the Steiner St. location and in Marin (Corte Madera). Ate at SF Izzy's recently with several friends. Ordered prime rib medium (specified pink). It came raw, so I sent it back. After 15 minutes or so, the waiter announced that my dinner had been lost, but then it appeared a minute later. My girlfriend ordered a glass of wine, which never came. I'd chalk it up to bad luck, but I'd had a much worse experience at Izzy's Marin not long before. Maybe they're stretched too thin with the new locations. Used to be the best service, albeit slow at times, and the food was always fantastic. Not anymore.

Pros: Izzy's own potatoes

Cons: noise

This bustling Marina favorite serves a mean martini and a great steak.  See the full editorial review.
