Great bone-in filet. Yes that's their signature dish and it's legit and it's worth getting. I don't normally like bone-in steaks either but I decided to try it and boy was I glad I went with their signature dish. Super tender but also super flavorful. I actually preferred the bone-in filet to the bone-in ribeye. I think the filet actually had just as much or more flavor and was way more tender. It was like flavorful butter. The tomato salad was also really great; I don't know why they don't mention it but it's tomatoes avocados and super soft and tasty burrata! The bread is super tasty but comes out full of oil and capers. If you want plain bread they will bring you out a hot loaf of plain bread also. Desserts were an absolute disappointment, but I'm not taking off a star because that bone-in filet was SO GOOD. The wild strawberry italian cheesecake tasted like just cream and it had RASPBERRY on it (I don't like raspberries) and they didn't list it at all. At least I wasn't allergic. The mango panna cotta tastes kind of like fake mango flavor Reservations on OpenTable. Single bathroom downstairs. More bathrooms upstairs. Complimentary valet parking sign (we did street parking so don't know how this works) It's a little dark inside and tables are a little close. They do have high chairs! Pretty good service; not the friendliest but very prompt, respectful, and accurate. I'm not sure I saw more than maybe 1 smile and it wasn't even that busy but hey, it was good service, just not service with a smile. read more

Last night I had the distinct pleasure of dining at Bobo's Steakhouse, not to be confused with Bobo Burgers. The experience was simply "Awesome". I will admit I was a bit hesitant because the alternatives (Epic, Alex...) were established and known from past experiences. However Bobo's came through and the experience was probably better. My first impression of the seating area was "this is too small" however as the night went on I came to really like the intimacy of the small quarters. The service e was excellllllllent!!! Two things to know, which I didn't they have parking for the restaurant, which I found a parking space on the street, and try not to go to Bobo Burger. Thank You PS..Don't be afraid of the Ribeye.....yes, you can handle it. ;-) read more

Came here on a Thursday evening when they opened. My girlfriend and I ordered the yellowtail carpaccio, crab cakes, creamy spinach, 12 oz filet mignon, and 16 oz rib eye. Yellowtail carpaccio (1/5): thin slices of fish dressed in soy sauce and oil. Not a good combination. Crispy crab cakes (4/5): the highlight of the night. 2 pieces of crab cakes with a spicy aioli-like sauce. Filet mignon (1/5): ordered medium rare, came well done. Sent it back and got a new one raw. Asked the server to take it off my check and take it back. Server asked if I wanted to just take it home and cook it myself (totally defeats the purpose of eating that at the restaurant). Eventually he took it off my check. Ribeye (2/5): ordered medium rare, came out raw. Server came back with the same piece cooked to about medium rare, but definitely no wow in it. Creamy spinach (2/5): spinach was cooked to a good texture where there's a crunch to it, but was extremely cheesy and chunky, not creamy. The server was understanding and patient with our orders, and apologized for our orders not being right. However I don't think I would be coming back. As a steakhouse, the steaks should be on point and that is definitely not what we got tonight. read more

Definitely overpriced for the quality. It's definitely a whole in the wall. The bone in filet was tasty... crab blah ... cream spinach... blah... garlic noodles... don't even waste your time. In summary it's edible. read more

In a word, disappointing. One would think that if steaks are the signature dish they would get it right the first time. Filet came out rare when spouse asked for well done and no apologies. At $52 for a bone in filet and $10 for a potato, expectations were much higher and had heard good things. On the flip side, charming French ambience, but with an attitude that was not so much. read more

Bobo's - BoBo's menu! - Steakhouses Near Me - San Francisco, California

The ambiance has a lot of personality, corky but interesting. It's a bit small, good for smaller groups or dinner dates. I ordered a San Francisco mule which was tasty. It has a hint of mint to it. I also ordered a 9oz filet medium which was really nice and flavorful. I'd definitely go again and try the crab. I hear it's a must! read more

Bobo's - Trying out the filet mignon. - Steakhouses Near Me - San Francisco, California

BOBOS IS THE BESSSSSST Omg so I was trying to get my man back after I fucked up so I planned a huge dinner for him here. He's more like a chicken wings and fries kinda guy so I wanted to take him somewhere super nice. I went ahead to pre pay (so he wouldn't try to pay) and when I came back everything was set up perfectly! Everyone was so friendly and so helpful. The food was AMAZING we both got steaks. The mash potatoes and Mac and cheese is fire and the ambiance is perfect for an intimate night out with ya boo thang :) definitely going back definitely recommend read more

OMG the best meal we had in this SF trip! The crab was so flavorful, unlike any other we had before! BF ordered the bone in filet mignon based on recommendation. It was very tender & delicious too! Wish my stomach was bigger!! read more

I took my friend out for his Bday and decided to try Bobo's, first off we were seated upstairs next to the door on a windy day... it was ruined the experience as soon as we asked to have it shut someone else would open it. It made our meal cold & I wish I would have sat else where. The food would have been better hot & me more comfortable had I not been cold. The service lady was very nice though. I'm 50/50 on trying it again. read more

We made a reservation at the last minute for an early dinner. We were definitely early as the restaurant was empty when we arrived. We got a great table on the top floor overlooking the street with the entire floor to ourselves. We started with cocktails, I had the basil cocktail and daughter had the blood orange margarita. Good drinks, but nothing to write home about. We followed up the cocktails with some wine by the glass. For dinner we ordered the crab bisque, Cesar salad, full crab, 9 oz filet, mac & cheese, and chard. Salad was real good, bisque was good and full of crab. Filet was the highlight of the meal (according to my daughter) - she quickly finished it. Chard and Mac & cheese were tasty. Crab was a little dry, but still good. As we ate, our dining room filled with other patrons and the restaurant was completely full when we finished. Service was top notch. They were very professional, not pushy, and great with wine recommendations. The water glass never went empty as someone always refilled it. I'd definitely consider returning here the next time in San Francisco. Looks like a great place for a daddy/daughter dinner as well as a romantic dinner for a couple. read more

If I could give them more stars I would. I came here on December 1st for my birthday dinner my boyfriend threw for me. It's a old Italian restaurant vibe and I loved every piece of it. If you want a quick drink and meal you can fine on the first floor. If you have a larger party you go to the third floor with a beautiful view of The city's famous Lombard street. The steak was the best I've ever had and I've had most of the steakhouse around. From Ruth Chris, Espetus, and Morton's I enjoyed this place way more. The portions, flavors, and customer service was amazing. With a 1300 tab the server didn't make one mistake and I appreciate that. I love this place and can't wait to go back to have more food!! read more

I came here while visiting San Francisco for the weekend. I had reservations booked in advance so I was really looking forward to trying this place. For dinner we had the following: 1. Mussels and shrimp - we had this as an appetizer. I typically love mussels the way the French do it but these mussels weren't that good. The shrimp was far better. I've had better mussels at most other French restaurants. They were over cooked and the flavor wasn't there. If I ever go back, I wouldn't get the mussels. I'd go for the shrimp instead. 2. Baby blue salad - delicious. The proportions were just right. 3. Filet mignon - this was absolutely delicious. I ordered it medium rare but it came out as a medium. Regardless, it was delicious. 4. Brussel Sprouts - these were amazing. I was truly surprised how delicious these were. 5. Dunce cap cones - these were good. The mousse was delicious. The cones were good. Not as good and buttery as the ici ice cream cones in Rerkeley nor the butter waffle cookies at trader joe's. 6. Mango panna cotta - good. I wouldn't say it was amazing. The place looks small from the outside but it is huge on the inside like a maze with many little rooms. The ambiance is romantic with dim lighting. There's a nice bar area for you to wait to be seated. The service was alright. I think the waiter was really busy that day. Valet was a nice plus. TL/DR: The shrimp was good; the mussel's were a big disappointment. I would come again. Although, I feel like it doesn't match up to other restaurants are in a similar price range. read more

Amazing food, amazing service from Manuel, and an overall amazing dining experience. We started with the muscles with garlic bread - it was was crazzzzy good with balanced flavors. For the main coarse we ordered 2 filet mignon steaks with sides of mushroom and garlic mashed potatoes. ALL THE FLAVORS ARE BOMB.com! One of our steaks was undercooked, but they instantly recooked the meat for us, then they comped our corkage fee. This place always is on point and always a must-go for anyone wanting a quality restaurant in San Francisco. This place is five star af lol read more

Love just about everything about this place! Cute bar area - great Pinot Noir from Napa and good bartender: made a good Moscow Mule ... pleasant hostess seated us promptly with our 9:15 pm reservation. Waiter seemed good and my food was excellent - it was after 9:30 so I kept it lower carb and just ordered the 9-oz filet Mignon and a side of mashed yams to share with the table. The filet was absolutely heavenly - perfectly cooked and buttery. I could have eaten another 9 oz! Yams were delicious! A perfect pairing. My Guy liked his mac & cheese with shrimp and Caesar salad and my friends guy liked his 16 oz bone-in filet and salad with salmon (although sort of a weird side bar ... it was a smoked salmon versus a cooked fillet of salmon and I don't think the menu specified [I think it just said add Salmon to your salad] so I thought it was a bit weird she got a salad that was completely covered in thinly sliced smoked salmon - I would've sent it back if it were me but she seemed to power through it). The French waiter we had seemed a little too eager to get out of there and he forgot to bring bread, which my guests mentioned, and then there was no butter or olive oil to go with it. Considering they were taking dinner reservations through 10:15 PM I didn't think that sitting there at 10:30, still talking, would be a big deal but it really seem like they wanted us out of there ... so much so that they tried to clear our entire table and never brought water refills or ask if we needed anything as soon as they drop the check ... that's the only reason they didn't get five stars. The service and the vibe - if it's off - will kill a perfect review every time. read more

The food was definitely a 10/10 for me but the service 1/10. It was pretty rude. We got seated and said it was our first time, so the server went over the menu but was pretty rude to us after we ordered some food. He rudely closed the curtains abruptly and would not fully listen to our requests. The vibe was definitely off. We got the bone in filet, crab, lobster tail, loaded baked potato, garlic noodles, and clam chowder plus dessert. While we were finishing up eating, they kept trying to take our plates when we were not completely finished yet - rude. The dessert wasn't our favorite but while going to the bathroom and coming back, they were definitely trying to hurry us out the door. They kept coming by saying they needed to set up a table of 6 (where we were) loudly so we could here and made us feel VERY uncomfortable. While we were waiting for our friend to get back from going to the restroom it got to be too much and we grabbed her stuff and waited for her outside in the cold. Definitely very rude staff/service which made for a horrible experience. read more

We had our food family style. It was amazing! We had the mixed appetizer with mussels, shrimp, and crab legs. Then 2 different kinds of steak, Brussels sprouts and mushrooms. The food was wonderful! The decor was fun and we were encouraged to look around the circus themed restaurant. Our waiters were very helpful, personable, and had great customer service. We had a very enjoyable evening. read more

When your server's first instinct is to insult you? That's a bad sign, and I wish we'd taken the hint! Birthday celebrating in SF included lunch at Little Star (since pizza is my favorite, like last-meal-before-death favorite), some bar hopping, and then a nice steak dinner... or so we thought. We were seated without incident at an upstairs table by a faux fireplace in a small room with maybe 10 little 2-seater tables. Only half were occupied, and the room was quiet. We perused the menus for a short time-- Then our server, Ponytail Michael, greeted us, and proceeded to make jokes about us being "virgins" (our first visit to Bobo's... & thx in part to him, our LAST visit as well) while making weird wanna-be-French groans & sounds?!?! After spouting off EVERY menu item, as if we hadn't read the menu at all, and calling EVERY item "exquisite," he started to walk away... he didn't ask (or know) that we were ready to order drinks & appetizers so I called him back. A beer for him, a cocktail for me, Yellowtail Carpaccio appetizer, and I asked if I could sample the Lobster Soup? It was the only soup they had, and I'm not a huge seafood person. With an appalled expression, he replies, "No, this isn't Baskin Robbins; it's made to order." THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN OUR CUE TO EXIT! But, of course, we naively stayed. His famous first words to EVERY TABLE in that small, quiet room were "exquisite" like 7 times in one sentence & "liquid food" for the "ladiieeesss!!" As if women are just wino-drunkards who can't think straight without their "liquid food!" I heard his lines at every new seating for over an hour, sooooo lame & classless. 2 or 3-star food, at best, unless we went on an off night?? Which I doubt given some of the reviews from regulars referencing the steady decline of this once-great establishment. SERVICE: Ponytail Michael never brought complimentary bread; he never came by to see if we were enjoying the appetizers (namely the soup that I had questions about); he never came by to see if we needed anything (like another round of "liquid food" haha); we had to flag him down for our check-- which ended up taking, LITERALLY, 15 minutes to bring out!! We had to cancel the Uber request because he wouldn't bring us our dang check! Overall... unprofessional, not welcoming or friendly, a bit impatient, inattentive, inconsiderate of our time, condescending in an attempt to be "uppity" though it failed miserably & only made him look like a charlatan clown (the greasy ponytail didn't help). FOOD: **The Lobster Soup looked & tasted terrible. 3 tiny chunks of lobster (which didn't bother me, but just fyi to all seafood lovers), unappealing grey broth whose texture was thicker than thieves & whose flavor was ruined by too much salt... or perhaps someone let it cook down too far?? Don't know, don't care, just don't order it. **The Yellowtail Carpaccio tasted like straight raw vinegar & its texture was like chewing on gooy, slightly slimy, wet tissue paper. Utterly FOUL. **The Twice Baked Potato was crunchy, and not in a good, crispy-on-top kind of way. More like someone forgot the TWICE because it was pretty undercooked! And it was barely warm on top with a frigid interior... meaning cooked previously & refrigerated & then not heated through. The flavor wasn't bad; it was just difficult to keep eating it, YUCK! **The Swiss Chard was pretty amazing!! Probably the best thing we'd tasted all night, and that's sad for a steakhouse. Too bad we hadn't ordered 3 portions of it & none of the other sides/ apps. **The steaks: He ordered the bone-in New York; I ordered the bone-in Filet. Both were cooked perfectly, but someone forgot to season his! Just super bland... especially after we traded bites... that's when he really knew his was lacking. Mine, however, was freakin' good!! Thankfully too because it was MYYYY Bday, only fitting that I end up with a decent steak (I'm usually the one who gets the crappy meal... cold, undercooked, missing key ingredients, plastic wrap in it, hair, it's always MINE that's messed up somehow!! So this was a welcome & timely change of events). PRESENTATION: Sub par on soooo many levels... see pics. **Grey, vomit-colored soup? Not very appetizing. **Goopy, sloppy looking carpaccio? It's supposed to be clean, crisp, & refreshing. Imagine limp sushi?! Yeah, no. I'm actually surprised we're not physically ill from it. **Messy, greasy, steak juice all over the EDGES of our plates? Uumm not good! What happened to wiping that clean? Needless to say, "we're never, ever, ever getting back together" with this place :( Not even if it were free. Not even if they paid me... okay, MAYBE if they paid me :) read more

Boboquivari's might have a lot of clowns on their menus, dishes, and website, but if there's one thing they aren't clowning around with (sorry - had to throw that one in) it's their bone-in filet. 14oz (20oz, if you're ambitious) of deliciousness and one of the most perfectly seared and crusted pieces of meat I've ever had. Totally tender, full of flavor, and melting almost like butter after a few bites, this was on par with one of the best steaks I've had in SF. Having heard a lot of hype about here, I was prepared to be amazed. And this place certainly lived up to that expectation. While some of the other things I had were OK (the swiss chard side, the steak tartare, and the Dunce Cap cones weren't my favorite), other things like the mac n cheese and the AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS bread slathered in olive oil, butter, and capers, and the blood orange sorbet made up for it. I'm not a big seafood fan, but the double order of mussels that were ordered for our party of 6 were a big hit too. But let's get back to what's important: the bone-in filet. You can entertain the idea of ordering something else, but to be honest, I'd go directly to this and leave the rest alone. Service wise, our waitress seemed a little overstretched and seemed a little lost when it came down to collecting glasses, plates, used utensils, and even ordering. Still though, she was very nice, and very patient with the amount of wine we had brought and were ordering. The only thing that irked me a little was that in asking for water, I got a teeny tiny water glass and had to ask for it to be filled at least three before someone came around regularly. I totally get why people come here, and you can be that I'll definitely be back here for that steak again! read more

In terms of service, this place is a Bobo-NO-NO! My sister AKA Thine Stultifying Light AKA The Divine Reason I Breathe AKA My Everything made dinner reservations at Bobo's for her birthday well in advance and was excited to test the digs out. Renowned for their crab, steaks and side dishes that include some type of twice baked potato, Boboquivari's had come recommended from a few friends and that was enough for us. Bobo's gets points for complimentary valet service, which is a must in the city. But from the moment we hopped out of the car, all "point"-age came to a screeching halt. It was raining pretty hard, but apparently the upper level is known to get hot as Hades so they like to keep the door open. Of the two available booths open, our party was placed closest to this gaping formation of fierce monsoon level winds and all around deluge. I asked our hostess, Anya, if the door would remain open throughout the duration of our visit and she said she couldn't say for certain but that she would check in with our waiter. This is where everything goes south. Not in a tropical, birds of paradise, cue the steelpan drum sense; this is around the time that we meet Robert D., our server for the evening. The anachronistic fly in the ointment, that pernicious little platter-propeller. I could end this whole review now and sum up our experience in five words: Robert made our experience horrible. He did so by being an inattentive and totally unavailable server. Other restaurant patrons, to the best of my knowledge, were provided with complimentary bread, which we never received from Robert, even after asking numerous times. When we were able to locate him, what we found instead of exemplary service was a condescending attitude. When we asked questions about dishes or ingredients, Robert treated us as if our questions were some sort of personal offense. To make matters worse, Robert seemed to be a gratuitous and helpful server to every other table, including the one just to our left and just across the way, easily within earshot. Just imagine a waiter that's Delphine LaLaurie to your family alone but Betty White to every other table in their section. But it's imperative that we note the good, too! This can be done by highlighting the real star of the show: my main man, Jose. After trudging up and down the staircase in desperate search of the elusive chanteuse known as Robert, I gave up right around the time I found this sweetheart named Jose. Jose gets things done, like getting you bread when you're hungry and explaining meal ingredients and crab preparation. Jose, you have my heart. As I mentioned above, it was my sister's birthday. She mentioned it, I mentioned it, my brother-in-law mentioned it, and my brother-in-law's brother chimed in, just to see if it made any difference. I'll be damned if at the end of our horrible dinner, Robert doesn't saunter up to the patrons at the next table, extract a slice of chocolate cake from some nearby surface, rouse a group of servers up and put on a damn performance as we are literally hanging on by a thread of patience, having had about all we can take of being ignored, spoken down to and disregarded. That last initial fits him perfectly! Definitely will not be coming back to Bobo's. (But again, thank you so much to Anya and Jose!) read more

June 19, 2010 @ 5:30 PM, Saturday Date Night YUMS! My parents taught me not to lick my fingers when eating at a restaurant. But being a Filipino and trained to eat with our hands came in handy at Bobo's. (You should at least know how to eat with your hands in theory even if you don't do it in practice if you are a Pinoy kid.) Because at Bobo's, you'll get the best of both worlds: STEAK AND SEAFOOD. And my Filipino seafood eating skills were put to the test. Who needs those metal thingy-s to crack crab claws? Bite into it and use your choppers! Our dinner date started at 5:30 PM. We were seated at a super-tiny corner booth but the cuteness of the hanging colorful ribbons to give us privacy from the next booth made up for the feeling that we were being put on "time out" in the corner. Couples and groups of friends dressed to the nines started pouring in. They got the bigger, padded booths. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/yNU6sPRWzVl0ngCRqat1TQ?select=KaPc4oNFfee6bKmp1BAsMQ The decor at Bobo's might be playful but there is nothing funny about Boboquivari's food and service. They definitely do not clown around when it came down to the real thing: steak, seafood, bread and their server. Our server was very attentive and friendly. DRINK AND BREAD: And few minutes later, I was sipping a BOBOTINI (yummy but not strong enough) and devouring the half loaf of HOT, garlic bread oozing with butter that was served to us almost as soon as we sat down. (Note: I finished almost this half-loaf by myself with little help from fiance.) So addicting!!!http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/yNU6sPRWzVl0ngCRqat1TQ?select=Q-BC1kHEsfjPzyVgpM-ejQ SEAFOOD APPETIZER: And not long after that, fiance and I got down and dirty. How could you not when you have a GIGANTIC SKILLET OF PRAWNS AND CRAB placed in front of you! Delicious seafood very seasoned in butter and herbs served with 3 flavored butter sauces for dipping. They were on the dry side and the prawns were not plump but they were delicious none the less. I have no mercy and took home the last 5 prawns left. And that's just for appetizer! ($40)http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/yNU6sPRWzVl0ngCRqat1TQ?select=soimFTR-upzbcZIPXEVHBQ STEAK: And the FILET MIGNON STEAK! Bone-in for fiance ($40), http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/yNU6sPRWzVl0ngCRqat1TQ?select=uLL3OSFIaqbDL2gdAMiUOA petite for me ($30). http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/yNU6sPRWzVl0ngCRqat1TQ?select=DXG7nIeCMI-uZR4Y6iClNg Bone-in Filet Mignon is the MAIN ATTRACTION. Bobo's signature steak. Both steaks were so tender. Melt.in.your.mouth. Period. SIDE: As if we didn't have enough, we ordered a side dish of TWICE BAKED POTATO ($8). Big enough to share but ending up to be not our fave. We had two bites each and decided we did not like it. Tasted like a veggie quiche on top of the half-potato. Very untraditional. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/yNU6sPRWzVl0ngCRqat1TQ?select=IVNdN8WggJolVzPsjli6eQ DESSERT: And a CHOCOLATE BOMB ($8))! A mound of chocolate with truffle-like consistency drizzled with raspberry glaze. Even this lacto could not resist! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/yNU6sPRWzVl0ngCRqat1TQ?select=R5ipc1QOrgSdXpJnl5BIAw TAB: $180 including 2 diet cokes, tax and 20% tip. Pricey but definitely a very enjoyable dinner. By the way, I licked my fingers all throughout dinner and I didn't care. My parents were not there to scold me! read more

This place is great!! I made reservations for a 7pm dinner with my husband. We were running late because some asshole wanted to throw fireworks in front of a bus we were behind. So I called to let them know we were on our way. The guy on the phone told us that it was fine and not to worry about it. When we got there, there was no one at the Valet stand, so I went down to get someone. The guy went out there right away! Not even a minute when my husband came in to meet me we were seated. We were greeted right away from our server, Teo K. He gave us water right when we sat down and gave us our menus. We didn't have to wait. He recommended a cocktail for me because I wanted Malibu Pineapple, but they didn't have Malibu rum. He recommended a drink called Rum Baba. It had Captail Morgan Rum, Blood Orange, and Pineapple. It was good, but I didn't get buzz at all. I felt like I didn't taste any rum. We ordered a Lobster Crostini, which had lobster, avocado, and garlic aioli served on top of a toasted bread. It came out less than 5 mins after we ordered it. It came with only 2 pieces for $17.95. However, it was really good! The bread was toasted perfectly, they were generous with the lobster, they had this really good white glob in between the Lobster Crostinis. Not sure what that was, but it was super delicious! Then my husband for the 20oz ribeye. He wanted it cooked medium well and that's exactly how they cooked it. He says it was really good, flavorful, and tender. He says the chefs really know how to cook a medium-well ribeye steak. I was going to get the combination with mussels, shrimp, and crab. But I asked our waiter if the crab was a whole crab and he said it was half crab. So I got the double shrimp and double crab. Yes, just for me!! It was a $55.95 dish, but it was well worth it. The garlic flavors on the crab and shrimp was too perfect. There was the right amount of seasonings. Oh my yum!! As for our sides, we got the twice baked potato and the mod Mac and Cheese. I have to say the sides were good, but my crab and shrimp dish made me forget about the sides because my food was just too good. I couldn't stop eating! For dessert, you must get the mango panna cotta. It had this flan type texture. It basically melts in your mouth. We also got the strawberry cheesecake. I wasn't really feeling the cheesecake. It was a bit tough. I never had to really chew cheesecake before. I would definitely come here again. The service was great! The food was amazing! And most importantly, valet parking was complimentary!! Woohoo!! read more

Review 300...Yay! This was how I announced our dinner plans for No. 300: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeNGVS2T_Rk&feature=related Anyway, I saved No. 300 for one of the most popular steakhouses in San Francisco, Boboquivari's, aka Bobo's, which also means court jester. The decor is appropriately playful and stylish, but not too much to make it cheesy. The food, for the most part, is no joke. The filet mignon was very tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. If you're just looking for great steaks, I bet Bobo's will not disappoint. The twice baked potato was excellent. I would suggest asking for additional sour cream. Also pretty good was the lobster curry soup. Sadly, some sides and appetizers failed to live up to expectations. The complimentary half loaf garlic bread looked a lot better than it tasted; the middle part was soaked with butter while the other parts were dry and bland. The grilled shrimp dish was small and undercooked. Not impressive at all. The lobster crostini was also just okay. Other than the bread, Bobo's portions tend to be on the smaller scale. The high price is definitely more of a reflection of the quality than size. The filet mignon, for example, will wow you with the awesome quality of the aged beef, but the smaller portion may leave not leave you completely satisfied. The good thing is that Bobo's gets right what matters the most, the meat. Add that to decent service and complimentary valet parking, it will likely be a memorable meal. read more

Garland and I had made plans to go to midnight mass but before that we wanted to grab dinner and catch a movie. Being Christmas Eve, we had a really hard time finding a restaurant that's open for the evening. We made a couple of phone calls to some restaurants and all of them were either closed for Christmas or booked for the entire night. Garland then made a quick call to Bobo's and the hostess informed him that they will be able to accommodate us as a walk-in. +1 star. Not long after we arrived, our hostess took up upstairs and handed us our menus. For starters: -One bottle of Cabernet kenwood "jack london" sonoma -Yellowtail carpaccio -Lobster crostini -Crispy crab cakes -Complimentary bread All of the appetizers came out together and really quick. It made me wonder if they had premade all the appetizers ahead of time. My favorite was the lobster crostini because it was served with their homemade cheese and the cheese was so darn tasty! For entree: -Petite filet mignon -Bone-in filet mignon -Mac n' cheese Steak is steak, there are only so many ways to prepare a filet mignon. Our steaks were good but I don't know if it was "the best". I've read in some reviews that the steaks were overloaded with salt. Luckily for us, ours weren't. I had my petite mignon cooked rare and Garland had his bone-in mignon done medium rare. Both were good but his steak was a lot more tender than mine. He claims that it's the bone. We could have gone without the mac n' cheese but he insisted we get a side. 3 stars for the dining experience + 1 star for opening on Christmas Eve! read more

This review is quite late, but none the less special for me. My family and I took my Grandpa here for his Birthday last September--what we didn't realize was that it would be the last Birthday he'd spend with us. Grandpa has a huge passion for food and is a carnivore lover so Bobo's was a natural choice. We've done HOPR way too many times. He always loved himself a good glass of Merlot, so Merlot it was for him. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/yNU6sPRWzVl0ngCRqat1TQ?select=tmD8wagYBuU1phDNo3ubww I loved the sourdough bread that is served here--it's drizzled with oilve oil, and chopped garlic on top, so the juices seep in the middle of the bread. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/yNU6sPRWzVl0ngCRqat1TQ?select=LIBNdWpYRtwnk3jrBMU6hA We also started off with a variety of appetizers--the Crab Cakes, the Apple Walnut and Cranberry Salad, and the Iron Skillet Mussels. *The Crab Cakes were cooked to perfection, crispy on the outside, and a decent size thickness. The cranberries were a great compliment of tartness. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/yNU6sPRWzVl0ngCRqat1TQ?select=Itl9dScX1l4EGXLzKIPsQg *The Apple Walnut and Cranberry Salad was so-so, I would've preferred a different type of lettuce other than ice berg and romaine. It was drizzled with a raspberry vinaigrette. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/yNU6sPRWzVl0ngCRqat1TQ?select=oSUvdcHXW4NY5qKwHRldfQ *The Iron Skillet Mussels were pretty good, considering I'm not much of a seafood eater, but they were flavored well with the lemony garlic butter taste. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/yNU6sPRWzVl0ngCRqat1TQ?select=JRQ9yt7EFxpe024xURLGvg http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/yNU6sPRWzVl0ngCRqat1TQ?select=RoNlhLgUYUuqfL1dX6MNIA As far as the meat goes, I ordered myself the Petite Filet Mignon. Petite it definitely was, but it was so tender and juicy in the middle, and hardly required any energy to cut the center. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/yNU6sPRWzVl0ngCRqat1TQ?select=JB7DUHy7yifkB5-Z73Goew http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/yNU6sPRWzVl0ngCRqat1TQ?select=s7mXzQLP7AzhtZVk0gEEHg Mom and Grandpa both ordered the Surf and Turf, which is Half a Crab and the Petite Filet Mignon. This is probably the best deal if you want a little of both. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/yNU6sPRWzVl0ngCRqat1TQ?select=pvF8PnaFlzgkh1yqfTyLHg For dessert we ordered the Pistachio Panna Cotta which was not so great. It looked yummy at arrival, but the texture was a bit paste-y. And resembled a little bit of play-dough. The pistachio flavor was definitely there. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/yNU6sPRWzVl0ngCRqat1TQ?select=lTrMsSeCzM05Cn4Yh4Pazg Overall, I enjoyed the meat, I would I would recommend the Filet Mignon again for sure. Bobo's did a great job in helping us celebrate my Grandpas Birthday with us. He is a lover of food, and it's only fitting that his final Birthday before passing on would be at a Steak House. read more

Bobo's - Steakhouses Near Me - San Francisco, California

Location: On Van Ness, valet parking available! Once you pull up in front of the restaurant one of the valet workers is already awaiting for cars to pull up and are very fast to avoid traffic jams of incoming traffic! They hand you a ticket which you show after your dinner to get your car back. Customer Service: Attentive and friendly! Decor: I'm not sure how to describe how I felt walking in! The lights are dimmed and when you walk in the bar is to your left. They have seating near the window, although we got seated upstairs in another room which I had no idea this place was that big! The feel is as if it's a bohemian circus gypsy like theme? I hope I gave you yelpers a little bit of a good description! I liked it! Presentation of Food: A loaf of bread is served which is different from the normal dinner rolls or slices of bread. If you order seafood they have have it in front of you with the dish raised and bowl underneath to put your shells. Main dishes nicely presented. How did the food taste?: The loaf of bread caught me of guard as you pull apart a slice off the loaf it is already infused with olive oil, this was a nice touch. Then we moved on to a single order of mussels and I have no idea how they cook these mussels but they were AMAZING. From the flavor of the mussels, the slight crisp toasted texture, and the butter you dip them in its absolutely mouth watering just thinking about it! I would suggest get double of everything for seafood no regrets! Then I ended up getting the surf and turf! To be honest I've had better steaks, the filet mignon was just ok (8oz). What stole the show was the crab so garlicky and full of flavor!!! I can't stop thinking about the seafood! Overall Experience: Good experience, what would I do different next time? Get double mussels double crab, share a steak, and a side. OR get an order of one whole crab double mussels and a side! This is only because the seafood is what got me! Although it's totally up to you! Would I Come Back?: Yes!!! read more

My boyfriend brought me here for my surprise 21st birthday dinner. He made reservations and we were seated immediately. You don't have to worry about parking, because there is free valet parking available. If you don't trust valet parking, you can just park your car yourself and ask for a parking permit/paper to place in your car. The overall place was a small restaurant. It was very dark and dim, but also a very quiet place. Service was excellent, they knew that it was my birthday and did special accommodations for me. We had a three course meal and here are my breakdown of each dish. Complementary bread: The bread was good.. and a little bit hard, I found it rather difficult to pull a piece of bread out and eat. Lobster crostini: basically cold lobster served ontop of bread. Reminded me alot of Bruschetta. I would recommend if you love lobster, otherwise, it's not really worth the price. Surf and Turf with Mussels and Filet Mignon: Usually they offer the surf and turf with crab and the filet, however I was rather sick on my birthday, and it's bad for the throat to eat crab. So instead, I request if I can have mussels instead. The filet mignon... was to die for. It was absolutely one of the best filet mignon I ever had in my life. The mussels were also very good. They were roasted to perfection, where the shells became so thin that it breaks with a touch...yet the meat wasn't overcooked and dry. Twice baked potato: Once again... one of the best baked potato I ever had in my life x.x Highly recommended. Cheesecake with strawberry: The cheesecake was good, but I don't remember it being anything phenomenal. The Dream Martini: Good drink! My first legal drink! Yay! TLDR; Free parking, get the filet mignon and twice baked potato. read more

My boyfriend and I came here for an early dinner. The restaurant was extremely quiet and the tables seemed like it was all packed tightly together. I actually had a very hard time getting inside my seat because the table was placed way too close to the wall. There was a weird curtain right against our table to separate us from the next table. Nonetheless, I felt as if it was way too packed together. I could literally hear the whole conversation of the table right next to us since it was just a curtain dividing us. My boyfriend ordered the surf and turf, which consisted of bone in filet minon and half a crab. I got the bone in filet mignon with a side of mod mac and the twice baked potato. Overall I wasn't too impressed with the filet mignon. I didn't think there was anything special about the flavor or piece of meat at all. The mod mac wasn't great either. I felt like there was something off about it. It wasn't super cheesy and didn't taste like much other than maybe peppers. The only thing I really enjoyed about the meal with the twice baked potato. That was probably the best thing I ate all night. It was cheesy and had a lot of flavor considering the way it was made. For dessert we had the mango panna cotta and that was also good. read more

Bobo's was voted #1 Steakhouse in San Francisco by the Bay Area A-List. So I brought my husband along to see what makes it the cream of the crop. 1. Complimentary valet parking. Very convenient since parking is a bit difficult to find in & within the Lombard radius. 2. The decor is eclectic but warm & inviting. Reminds me of the 1960s...There is a bar as you walk in, to your right are tables for small groups & couples, upstairs is for bigger groups enough to fit maybe 3 large groups of 8. Restrooms are upstairs too. 3. The food. Started off with a big loaf of freshly baked garlic bread with a crunchy crust and bits of baked garlic on the surface. 4. Bone in filet mignon - oh my God!! It's the bomb! There aren't a lot of steakhouses that serve bone in dry aged steaks but this one won the trophy! It's very tender (med rare of course) and made me want to pick it up with my fingers and eat it like the way I do with fried chicken. My husband did this and the Neanderthal man came out of him. Lol! It was so tender that I could peel off the meat from the bone (although some portion I had to slice off with a knife but it still came off easily). Overall, I'm putting in my vote to keep it #1. read more

We should have known that the crab would be frozen since it's not Dungeoss crab season but we ordered it anyway. Definitely not fresh! Steak was fine but nothing special. read more

Sidenote: I used to laugh every time I heard someone say they went to "Bobo's" for dinner because it sounded like some sort of restaurant in an Italian mob movie. Seriously, it's like it's straight out of Goodfellas or something; I could imagine Ray Liotta narrating a line like, "Paulie got whacked at Bobo's for ratting to the feds about Gino" and Joe Pesci on the screen staring down some dead body. Okay, anyways, on to the review! The place is somewhat oddly shaped, as there's apparently tiers of seating areas for customers. Didn't really see how big the other areas were though, as we sat in the small dining section right by the bar, just off the hostess podium. We were seated pretty promptly after we claimed our reservation time (party of four), and the waitress we had was pretty nice throughout our meal. To kick off our meal, we decided to split a couple of their appetizers to go with our entrees. The first was the Heirloom Tomato dish served with avocado, onions, and burrata cheese. It was my first time trying burrata (that I know of) and it was some good stuff. Definitely liked how it had a creamy texture but still retained that stringy mozzarella consistency. The second was the Dungeness Crab Crostini with smoked salmon, avocado, and burrata. SO DELICIOUS. Even though avocado and burrata is listed in both, the two dishes tasted so different. Made up entirely of some of my favorite things, I only wish they had more than just two crostinis on the plate. Lastly, they give a plate of bread that seems like it's been baked with olive oil. Pretty nice having that flavor built right in, but didn't eat much of it to save space for the steak. And speaking of the meatiness goodness, we each ordered their signature cut - the bone-in filet mignon. Generally, I think filet mignon can be a little overrated; sure, the meat is tender but it can also be a little lean for my liking. That's not to say filet mignon isn't good, just that depending on how it's prepared, it doesn't strike me as amazing as everyone raves. This one though, was pretty damn good. I don't know if it's because the bone was still attached or if it was the butter sauce left over from cooking, but lots of natural juices, great flavor, and still oh so tender. For sides, we decided to try two - the Mac n Cheese and the Baked Yams. The Mac N Cheese was just okay, and I've had better. I didn't notice a crunchy topping which disappointed me, and the cheesey part was almost like a pasta sauce. They might have been able to salvage it if they drizzled some truffle oil on top (truffle oil can do that to a dish). As for their baked yams, not bad but I think the one at Ruth's Chris is better. Creamy texture with minimal lumps gave it a sort of mashed potatoes consistency, but sweeter than it's pale counterpart (especially with the brown sugar sprinkled on top). As for dessert, our table split an order of the Dunce Cap Cones - four mini waffle cones filled with chocolate mousse with an ancho chili pepper chocolate sauce. Pretty tasty dish, but halfway through the cone, you realize that the mousse filling stops. It'd be nice if it was fully filled, but I guess that might also be too much of a good thing. I don't know if I would get an order for just myself in the future, but certainly I would split it again with a friend/date (in this case, three other guys...no wonder the waitress gave us an odd look). It went really well with their black coffee (which was really good) and, oddly enough, the red wine I still had left. I was going to give them a four star review for their average sides, but I'm going to bump them to five stars specifically for the bartender and waitress, and their free valet. While waiting for a couple of the guys to show up, the bartender was nice enough to comp a sprite for me (yeah, yeah...was saving myself for the three bottles of wine we brought). As for the waitress, she was really accommodating of our request for three wine glasses each just so that we could settle an ongoing bet of which of my three friends could pick the best wine. Overall, will definitely come back again for the crostini appetizer, their steak, and to try their crab (looked good at the neighboring table). read more

Seriously a San Francisco gem! This is up there on my list of favorite steak places. I know it doesn't look all glamorous or have the best location, and yes it's kinda kitschy but the place rocks! The complimentary bread they serve is fluffy and has garlic baked into the top, it is melt in your mouth good. The salads are nice and hearty. I loved the wedge! We ordered all of the crostini appetizers and ate them like ravenous carbivores! Our server was hilarious and totally personable. We brought our own bottle of red wine and when it was done he recommended a great French red wine (he was French and had great taste in vino). My entree was a Bone in Filet Mignon, is that an oxymoron? Who cares it was delicious. Seriously the juiciest steak in the city! I loved the food and the experience and would highly recommend it. Sidebar: The bathroom is huge; you know those music videos that show people partying in the bathroom? Well this could be one of those bathrooms! read more

Bobo's - Steakhouses Near Me - San Francisco, California

Bobo's is an interesting restaurant. I thought it would be a high end, classy steakhouse but the interior decoration was actually very unique - red walls and curtains, and some interesting paintings, I felt like I was eating in a circus... not in a bad way though. It's always good to have some sort of uniqueness. It's a tiny restaurant which end up creating a pretty loud environment. So this is not a place for romantic dates but rather for friends gatherings. I went with a friend on a Saturday night at 7:30pm (reservations made ~1 week ago). We were right on time, and were seated around 10 mins later. Started off by ordering two cocktails - Q-ball and Moscow Mojito. Both drinks were okay but ice amount was a bit excessive which kind of dilute the drinks a little bit. Our server had a friendly attitude and was quite attentive, however she didn't seem to care much about what we were ordering like giving suggestions, or how we were doing throughout the meal. Would have appreciated if there is a bit more of conversations engagement with the customers. Double Crab and Mussels on iron-plate: B. First of all, the portion was pretty big. Lots of mussel (small size type) and one big crab in the middle. The sauce had some sort of unique roasted pepper + garlic flavor. Although the mussels could not really absorb the taste, but butter / olive oil (?) were provided as dipping sauce and they definitely played a crucial role to enhance the mussel taste. For the crab, the shell was all covered by the roasted pepper/garlic, but I think it was a little bit overcooked. The shell of the crab legs were pre-cracked and it still took quite a bit of effort trying to crack them open, which is not a convenient thing to do at a high end restaurant. The crab meat tasted pretty bland and dipping sauces were still required. Bone-in New York (Medium Rare): B+. I had mixed feeling about this steak. I really like the texture - super tender and juicy, and as some fellow Yelpers mentioned the portion closer to the bone were also cooked till medium rare which was a big plus. Cooking skill couldn't be doubted. However, the steak definitely needs a bit more flavor - I got tired after finishing half of it because of the lack of flavor from the sauce. I also tried my friend's bone-in filet mignon. Personally I like the New York better. Somehow I think the New York managed to have slightly more flavor than the mignon, although again both were on the bland side. Mac and Cheese: B. Saw a lot of good reviews about this but I wasn't impressed. I think it was kind of over cooked again... Was it just me? I have had a lot more better ones at other steakhouses. Strawberry Cheesecake: B. Nothing special. My friend said the sauce on top of the cheesecake was kind of salty which I agree. Other than that it was an ordinary piece of cheesecake. The bill ended up to be ~$210 plus tips. Honestly with this price tag I think I could have gone to places a lot better than Bobo's. But again, I think the steak cooking skill is quite exceptional, now just need to add some more flavors to that and it would be perfect. read more

Bobos is a super touristy restaurant that boasts its supposedly fantastic reputation in ads everywhere. Unfortunately we had dinner here and were pretty disappointed. The service was not good and food was average at best. We ordered the dungeness crab crostini and heirloom toy box tomatoes appetizers, two full dungeness crabs, bone-in filet, a few orders of macaroni and cheese (mod mac), and desserts. The crab was great, but everything else was either average or terrible. The mac and cheese was hardly edible (my entire party of 4 felt this way - it tasted so bad that none of us could stomach it). Before coming here, I didn't even know you could screw up mac and cheese! Service was also bad. The waiter asked if we would like our appetizers before our crab/steak main dishes. We said yes, we want our appetizers first. Of course, we get the two dungeness crabs first. About half an hour later, we finally get our appetizers. To make matters worse, my aunt's steak did not come until an hour later - after me and my uncle had already finished our crab..... it was pretty unfortunate. She just sat there eating alone until finished. I don't think I've ever experienced such sloooooow service. Dessert was okay, but nothing memorable. I ordered the strawberry cake slice, and my guests ordered some chocolate cone dessert type thing that I hardly remember. Oh, and a tip: Be sure to ask for water here, because unless you ask, you will never get water. It is their policy due to the drought. read more

I ate at Bobo's on a whim, only hearing briefly about it from my friend. I'm usually not a steak person, but i really really enjoyed my meal. Here's why: I chose Bobo's for my friend's birthday (not really expecting much), and I called to make sure that they would include a candle on the dessert. We got there a little early and we were a little under dressed..it was a hot weekend and i was wearing some daisy dukes..opps. anyway, people here wear a little bit more clothes than i was, and I felt a little out of place. The waiter heard my comment about dressing up and he reassured me and said none of the staff cares what we wear (whew). We got seated upstairs and we immediately ordered our wine. Since they're known for their bone-in filet, we each got that and my friend ordered it with the crab. The food came out pretty fast, starting with the salad. I thought the salad had too much dressing, but it was still good. Now onto the meat: 1. bone-in filet mignon - i'm usually not a steak person, but i really enjoyed this slab of meat. it was cooked just right, very juicy and tender with a hint of smokiness. 2. crab - order this if you don't mind working for your meal. it was a little messy, but the crab is super meaty. the portion was pretty big and i thought it was total worth the price. 3. now onto the best part of dinner, the carbs: - Mac n Cheese - this was the BEST mac n cheese i've ever had. it tastes like sourdough bread! i can eat 3 plates of this, it was so good. - house bread - i usually don't review the complementary bread, but this bread was like a loaf you buy at an artisan bread shop. legit. 4. dessert - i wasn't a fan of the dessert. i got the strawberry cheesecake - it had no crust! and we all know the crust is the best part. overall, an A- dinner. read more

Yummy food and drinks! The crab cakes were really good! We had my signature Hennessy sidecar cocktail which was kinda tart but the bartender made it sweeter for me with some sugar on on the rim. I ordered the double muscles and shrimp and half crab which was delicious!!!! The muscles were soooo flavorful and filled with garlic! Our waitress was very nice and professional we will be back for sure! read more

WHOA, this place is a major DISLIKE! ... and here are my reasons why: 1) We made reservations for a SURPRISE birthday dinner at 8:30 pm. Our table was not ready until 9:30 pm!!! What kind of surprise do you think our beloved friend got?!?! Sure, the hostess did apologize and told us that some people take longer than others. But I honestly think that's an excuse for bad time management. Having gone to plenty of comparable fine dining establishments, a one hour wait is unheard of!! By the time we got a table, we might as well have just walked in at 9:30 pm without reservations at all. I say, if you can't handle reservations, don't take any at all! I had already originally asked for a 7:30 pm reservation. Given that you offered me a 8:30 pm reservation, could you at least have made it on time?!? In total, that was a 2 hour delay!!! 2) Highly overrated food, high prices! I'm okay with paying high prices for either impeccable service or great tasting food. However, as stated, service was terrible given that we had to wait for an hour! You would think after waiting for an hour, they'd treat you nicer or give you bread/ water once you took a seat, but even then things took forever! We had to ask for our bread! The steak was a decent sized cut, but the texture was bad for 40-50 bucks!! For a fillet mignon, it was quite chewy. One of my friend's medium rare was cooked pretty rare! Gosh, for being a supposedly 'reputable' steakhouse, can anything more go wrong?! To top it off, the sides were extremely pricey, and did I mention dinky?! Baked potato for $8! Mac & cheese was the tiniest portion I've seen relative to many other places -- $8!! Mussels and shrimp were okay. Loud environment, over-crowded. Theatrical like decor a la Cirque du Soleil. I think we were one of the last ones to leave the restaurant! I'm definitely not recommending this place to any of my friends! I was hoping I would have a lot of good things to say about this dining establishment, but apparently not! (Maybe except for the free valet parking) I'm all for Mastro's!! Flemings!! Harris!! Gosh, even chain restaurants are better then the experience we had here!!! :P read more

I REALLY wanted to love this place. I really did. I was so excited to hear that my boyfriend made dinner reservations at Bobo's for my birthday this year. To make sure there weren't any issues, my boyfriend and I called them a few days before our dinner to make sure our reservations were in their system. The lady who answered was kind and helpful and told us our reservations were indeed there for Sunday night. However, when we arrived on Sunday, the hostess told us that they didn't have our reservations and asked us to wait so they can see if there were any tables to seat us. Not necessarily sure what happened between that, but we weren't upset and it gave us the opportunity to sit at the bar while we waited. The bar is quite small but had a decent selection of cocktail drinks, wines, and liquor. After being seated, my boyfriend asked for a bottle of sparkling water and I ordered a drink at the bar which still didn't arrive by the time we got seated. The place wasn't packed, but there were a few tables occupied in our section of the restaurant. Our waitress didn't seem that all excited to serve us and we only saw her during the time we ordered our food and when we asked for the dessert menu. The plates were cleared and waters were filled up by another person to all the tables in our section. My boyfriend and I decided to go for the Mussels & Shrimp combo to start. Boy, let me tell you , it was delicious! It was probably the only thing that made me want to consider coming back to Bobo's again. I had the Bone-in Filet and my boyfriend had the Bone-in NY Steak. We also ordered brussel sprouts and the twice baked potatoes as our sides. Our food arrived at a reasonable time, but for the quality in the price you pay for the steak and sides, I was a bit disappointed. The brussel sprouts had no flavor or seasoning whatsoever and I took a bite of the bread and opt out because it was so hard to chew. The steaks were just...okay. It wasn't anything spectacular, and not to downgrade my (awesome) boyfriend's cooking whatsoever, but even HE can cook a meaner steak at home than what we had. With the steaks claiming to be dry-aged for 4-6 weeks, I would imagine a better tasting steak. The variety of steaks offered here aren't as much as other steakhouses which is also a bummer. For what the meal cost, I would rather go to the many steakhouses SF has to offer before coming to this one. read more

First time @ Bobo's. I know, that's just crazy! I've heard so much about the alleged kick ass steak here, that on the night I went in for dinner I basically expected mediocrity. You know how the hype thing goes. I didn't get mediocrity. I got one of the most tender & delicious steaks I have ever had. I asked for medium, & it was perfectly medium. Buttery. Really, just exquisite. He ordered the bone-in fillet, I ordered the petit fillet. Needless to say, we both fell in total love w our steaks. And we are definitely NOT in the fall-in-love-too-easily category. Thanks Bobo for a truly superb meal. read more
