Izzy's Steaks & Chops

The Marina, Fisherman’s Wharf & the Piers


Izzy's casual dining room is a throwback to Barbary Coast saloons, with old-time memorabilia and trophy heads lining the walls. Of all the steak houses in SF, this one's the most relaxed, with no dress code. It has all the usual classics, like rib-eye steak and creamed spinach. Reservations essential.
