About John's Grill

A classic San Francisco steak and seafood restaurant just off Union Square, where dark wood booths, white tablecloths, and old-school service have barely changed in over a century. The house specials lean straight into tradition. Dungeness crab, lamb chops, and a bone-in New York steak that feels like it’s been ordered the same way since opening day.
