To be honest and forthright: I was here for a private event. I have not dined here in any regular sense. The event included passed hors d'oeuvres and a really nice PuPu buffet. Nice charcuterie, fruits, veggies...and best of all a gigantic bed of ice with oysters shrimp poke and ceviche. Everything was delicious...although no one on the mainland makes super great poke. Sorry. I live Hawaii. Poke snob. read more

A slight booking mix-up on my end was handled graciously by the staff -- they accommodated a 6:30 PM rescheduling without any fuss. There's no valet, but a parking garage directly across the street makes arrival easy enough. The Caesar salad was a solid, tasty start. For the main, I ordered the ribeye medium rare -- well-seasoned and flavorful, though it came out a touch overcooked and leaned thin, closer to a supermarket cut than the thick, butcher-quality slab you'd hope for at this price point. The mashed potatoes and asparagus, however, were genuinely delicious sides. I rounded out the meal with the bread pudding -- sweet, rich, and the perfect finish. Service stood out: our waiter applied a lower combo rate when ordering sides and dessert alongside the steak -- a nice, customer-friendly touch. The interior is stunning, with massive windows framing dramatic views of the Bay Bridge that live up to the restaurant's name. The ambiance and service are truly epic. The steak itself has room to improve in consistency, but everything else -- the sides, dessert, views, and attentive staff -- makes for a memorable evening on the Embarcadero. read more

We came here for a work birthday celebration and it was such a treat!! Beautiful location with great views! You really can't beat that! So pretty. Service was good and so was the food. It's not for the faint of heart because it is a steak house on the Waterfront. So know that. We got quite a few items and I'm not even sure all of them since i didn't do the ordering. We ordered and shared everything. As for appetizers, the shrimps were good but my favorite was the crab cakes. Delicious. Small for the price and you get 2 only. The steaks were great and we actually did a 2nd round since with 8 people, it wasn't enough. As for the sides, I really enjoyed the mushrooms and mac & cheese. The Julia Childs potatoes I thought was just ok. For dessert we got like 2 of each of the first 3 or so, can't even remember. My favorites were the tiramisu and just the soft serve. The bread pudding I thought was just ok and would skip. The panna cotta was ok as well. We had an amazing meal. SYOY! read more

Giving this place five stars just because of how good of a deal the happy hour is! Everything we ordered was so delicious. We got the crabcakes Wagyu cheeseburger bucket of fried chicken and everything exceeded my expectations, especially for the price! The bucket of fried chicken is literally a bucket for only $10, and the Wagyu cheeseburger was also so good and flavorful. Not to mention the drinks the martini was chefs kiss and was only nine dollars. Would definitely come back in a heartbeat for the happy hour check it out.! read more

Vibes are so cute! You get a great view of the bay bridge sitting outside, especially at night when it lights up. They have heaters and blankets so you don't get cold. Great place for date night. The service was pretty good. The waiter was attentive and food came out at a reasonable time. We did have to remind them a couple times about bringing out the sauces for the steak. I really enjoyed "The best damn fillet". Got it medium rare. The chimichurri sauce paired so well with it. The oysters were pretty good but got some rocks in it. For drinks, I got a vodka martini and make it pink cocktail. The cocktail was pretty sweet so I would skip if you don't like sweet drinks. read more

this restaurant has the nicest people working there and the best views ever. i came here with my husband for our anniversary and the staff went above and beyond. they gave us a card with all of their signatures, a complimentary dessert, and even printed "happy anniversary" on our menu which was such a nice touch. the food was just okay overall. i will say the steak was cooked perfectly and the mac and cheese was amazing, but my husband and i felt like everything else was lacking a bit in flavor. we were especially disappointed with the prime rib. the meat itself was cooked perfectly, but the au jus was so overwhelming that it took over the whole dish. the desserts were nice and sweet though :) there are a lot of things that make this such a great restaurant -- the service, the atmosphere, and the views. i just wish the food lived up to the rest of the experience. read more

EPIC Steak - burrata & Baby Iceberg Wedge Salad - Steakhouses Near Me - San Francisco, California

Went here for our anniversary, and they treated us so well! The menu even had "Happy 5th Anniversary" on it! The service, view, and ambiance were all really nice and enjoyful. I didn't dislike my food, but it wasn't really the most memorable part of the experience unfortunately. My steak was slightly overcooked and for a place called EPIC Steak... should know how to cook one. I probably won't be coming back, but it was still nice to experience. read more

We had a 4:45 reservation and I'll admit I was slightly panicked when GPS showed we were only 2 miles away but somehow 41 minutes out. I knew the restaurant had a 15-minute grace period and we were cutting it close, so I called. The person who answered was incredibly kind and reassuring and told us not to worry. That immediately set the tone. Once we arrived (after finally finding parking), every single staff member we interacted with was friendly and welcoming. Our waiter was knowledgeable, personable, and made us feel completely at home. He explained the menu clearly and gave us just the right amount of space to enjoy the experience without ever feeling rushed. We ordered the New York strip, ribeye, crab cakes, mushrooms, wedge salad, potato purée, Old Fashioneds, and I tried two wines -- plus of course the bread and butter. Everything was phenomenal. The crab cakes were absolutely delicious -- flavorful, well-balanced, and not overly heavy. The steaks were cooked and seasoned perfectly -- even the fat was delicious (no shame ). The potato purée was so smooth it almost tasted chowder-like. The mushrooms were rich and flavorful. The salad was fresh and balanced. And dessert? Perfectly sweet -- not overpowering, not bland, just right. When we finished dinner, they boxed up our leftover steak for us and then placed the to-go bag on a small stand next to our table while we enjoyed dessert. Such a thoughtful touch. All in all, it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Great service, amazing food, and thoughtful details throughout. Honestly, I'm not sure why the rating here is lower than expected -- we were absolutely blown away and would definitely come back read more

Here is a late review. My friends came here in January 2026. We had girls night, the day after New Year's Day. It was raining on this day. The ambiance was beautiful, cozy and warm. We all ordered cocktails which were delicious and strong. We've ordered steaks, shrimp, mashed potatoes and carrots. Everything was very tasty. To end the night, we had espresso martinis. You can't go wrong with an espresso martini. Overall the experience was amazing! Our waiter was very attentive and service was fantastic. read more

No parking lot just street parking up the street which we didn't mind we liked the walk. We were seated right away in the patio looking area . They had a fireplace which made the area warm and cozy. What was a turn off was that my fiancée and I came with my step son and you can tell the switch up in service that we got compared to a couple that was seated next to us. We were offered sprite , and only still water , while the couple next to us were offered bubbly water and were given the specials on the drink menu. The same waiter really took their time with the couple and was giving them the run down on the menu while with us he was just ready to take our order. We asked what he recommend and was just short with his answers. Whatever . The food was really good . No complaints on flavor or the cook on the steaks what so ever . However the last time we came the sides portion (Mac and cheese, potatoes) were wayyyyyyyy bigger, now it was barely enough to feed 3 of us. It wasn't a vibing vibe which was definitely a let down. Probably won't come back read more

As the best-man of the upcoming groom, I was tasked with organizing a low-key bachelor party in San Francisco. After catching a Golden State Warriors game, I knew the crew would be hungry. About 30 days before the event, EPIC Steak opens up their reservation books. I was able to book a nice table for five at 9:00PM on a Saturday evening all through the app Open Table. The game finished a bit earlier than expected so we found ourselves at the restaurant early. No worries, the host checked us in and seated us immediately. That was nice. The restaurant is very elegant- everything from the décor, table configuration, music and overall vibe. Upon entering, you can feel that you're at a nice place. Our table was ready for us in a cozy and comfy rounded booth. A very nice touch was the menu's had a congratulatory message for the bachelor as well a card for the bachelor. That is amazing attention to detail and a great way to make this event even more special. The bachelor really appreciated those touches. The best part of the evening was two-fold; our service and the food. Let's start with the service: I would put our server in the Top3 servers I have ever encountered. I eat out quite a bit and he impressed me to no end. He was friendly, fun, efficient, straight forward and overall on top of the game. He understood what we wanted & needed, made excellent recommendations and just kept the flow going. And he was able to do all of this while helping other patrons. We felt the service time, accuracy and attention was perfect. Drinks & appetizers came out in a timely fashion. Our waters were never empty. The small talk was perfect without being over bearing or intrusive. We were given warm departure messages by our server and the host at the front desk. Excellent. The food was just as impressive. We had the oysters, bread & butter and beef tartar which was plenty for a group of five. We all ordered a variety of steaks and each steak was cooked to perfection. For sides, we went with the Yukon potatoes, brussels sprouts and carrots. I will say 3 sides is the perfect amount for a group of five. If you're extra hungry, one more side would work. The dessert menu looked good with a variety of ice creams and cakes, but we all opted for espressos and cappuccinos. A small plate with four bite-sized pieces of cake were provided complimentary with a 'Congratulations' chocolate piece at the center- how cool. Overall, a 5/5 Star experience. I highly recommend EPIC Steak for a special event. Pricing is on the higher side, but it is San Francisco and the food & service make it all worth it. Thank you for the great evening! I look forward to coming back. read more

Perfect place to celebrate a special occasion or treat yourself. The service, hospitality, views, atmosphere and food are 5/5. Special birthday treatment: I booked a reservation for a Tuesday night to celebrate my husband's 30th birthday. We arrived about 30 minutes early and we were able to be seated right away! The hosts were so friendly and humorous. They offered us a view of the bay bridge, gave my husband a bday card with signatures from the employees, and a menu that wished him happy birthday! They also offered him a free dessert! Jim was our waiter and he was great! Cocktails: Husband ordered the grandma's cigar & I ordered the make it pink. Both were delicious - not too sweet, not too strong. Food: We started off with the garlic shrimp as an appetizer. It was delicious, but probably would not get again just due to the price. Husband enjoyed the filet mignon - it was tender and juicy. The salmon that I ordered was fresh and flavorful! We loved the truffle mac & cheese, and the potatoes. Overall, the food was great & enjoyable. If you're looking for a nice steakhouse with quality food & great service, I'd recommend here read more

Wow! They blew me away with the amazing hospitality and service. They made our dual birthday celebration special & I so appreciated it. Not only a card from the whole staff but a dessert too, very memorable. Thank you Jim and Epic!!! This is an upscale steak house with that classic gentleman's club style. Not too fancy just the right amount of class. Think heavy furniture thats NOT dated lol. I found the food to be just right. It all tasted so delicious and then some! The absolute star of the show was the french toast( we did brunch). It was so creamy, creative and pretty much everything about it was on point. My only two notes for the food are that the syrup for the french toast should be 100% real Vermont maple & the potatoes or sauce on crab cake benny was a tad salty but totally still edible. Beautiful view of the Bay bridge and embarcadero. Be prepared to spend but I well worth the price to me for the experience you get. Try for yourself, I totally recommend!!! read more

Came here for a work related dinner and it was awesome! Convenient and lovely location with a full view of the bay bridge from the dining room. Our server, Paul was exceptional, very knowledgeable and patient with the chopped uncs in attendance. Paul also provided good recommendations. Burrata was tasty, though the golden raisins took over making the dish slightly too sweet. Got good reviews about the crab cakes from my table mates (I'm allergic and couldn't try) Got the steak, side, app, and dessert combo and I was thoroughly satisfied! My ribeye was cooked as requested and had a lot of flavor, the server let me know they use walnut, almond wood and mesquite coals on the grill if I remember correctly. For a place like this you expect th steak to be good, so if the sides aren't then you really know. And I must say the sides were slay! Carrots and mushrooms and cauliflower were exceptionally well flavored and cooked, tender in all the right spots. Not often you get good variety of veggie sides. Potatoes were potatoes so good ya know. I had the honeysuckle Negroni and that was well balanced and smooth. For dessert I got the passion fruit mousse. At first I wasn't into it it seemed too dense with the cake bottom, but with every bite I enjoyed it more read more

I took my partner to a surprise birthday dinner on a Monday and I am pleased to say Epic was the perfect place to go! We got a seat with a fantastic view of the lit up bridge. Definitely order the epic martini vodka - it comes with incredible blue cheese stuffed olives. They have prime rib on Sunday and Monday so I got that. It was a really thick cut and delicious! Comes with creamed spinach and a popover to soak up the jus. My partner got the filet and he liked it as well. Also got oysters and truffle Mac. Oysters were okay but on the smaller side. Mac was SO good and a must order. Also got the red velvet dessert which was a great way to end the meal. We had a wonderful waiter Michael who gave my partner a birthday card and made us feel special the whole night! read more

Epic Steak truly lives up to its name -- an unforgettable dining experience from start to finish! We came here to celebrate our anniversary, and everything was absolutely perfect. From the moment we arrived, Paul and the entire team went above and beyond to make the evening special. Their service was warm, genuine, and flawlessly attentive. We received an anniversary card signed by the entire staff. They even arranged the perfect window seat with breathtaking Bay and Bay Bridge views that made the night feel magical. The food was nothing short of spectacular. The baby iceberg wedge salad was crisp and flavorful, the filet was cooked to perfection -- tender and melt-in-your-mouth -- and the Lobster L'Americaine was rich, elegant, and full of flavor. Julia Child's potatoes were creamy, buttery, and the perfect complement to the meal. We ended the night with two incredible desserts: the decadent Epic Cheesecake Brownie and a complimentary coconut mango tres leches, which was moist, light, and absolutely delicious -- such a thoughtful anniversary surprise from Paul and the team. What stood out most was how we were never rushed; we were encouraged to relax, take in the view, and enjoy the moment. If you're looking for the ultimate San Francisco dining experience -- exceptional food, impeccable service, and stunning views -- Epic Steak is the place. A huge thank you to Paul and the team for making our anniversary truly unforgettable! read more

5/5 - A Birthday Dinner to Remember at EPIC Steak! We celebrated my birthday at EPIC Steak last night, and wow -- what an incredible experience from start to finish. This place absolutely lives up to its name. I ordered the 28-day porterhouse (per a recommendation I received), and it was to die for -- perfectly cooked, flavorful, and honestly one of the best steaks I've had. My husband went big with the 40-day aged tomahawk, and he loved every bite. We also added a full lobster as an add-on, which made the meal feel even more luxurious. The sides were outstanding -- especially the Julia Child potatoes and the mushrooms. We started with two glasses of red wine and their burrata appetizer with tomatoes, which was so fresh and delicious. What really made the night special was the birthday attention. They surprised me with a handwritten birthday card signed by (what seemed like) most of the staff -- such a sweet touch -- and they also brought out a complimentary birthday dessert. Very thoughtful and made me feel celebrated. Our server was attentive, warm, and genuinely pleasant, which made the entire experience even better. And let me just say... the view alone is worth the visit. Watching the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge lit up while dining felt magical -- the perfect backdrop for a special night. Yes, the bill was on the higher side, but between the service, the food, the ambiance, and the birthday touches, it truly felt worth it. EPIC Steak lives up to its reputation and is definitely a must-try San Francisco steakhouse. read more

Amazing food and ambience! We sat right next to the window which had an amazing view. The mashed potatoes and mac and cheese were top notch! Only thing that was slightly disappointing was the way that the service was very bland to our table (two top) and very talkative and attentive to the tables around us. We definitely noticed the difference with the way he was talking to them compared to us. Maybe it could've been the stereotype of a young-looking couple but it was disappointing to notice :( our bread and butter also never came which we ordered as an appetizer but overall great food! read more

EPIC Steak - Wagyu EPIC Burger & Fries - Steakhouses Near Me - San Francisco, California

Last night we ate here for dinner and had a wonderful experience from beginning to end! The staff here is incredibly warm to guests and we were able to really relax and enjoy ourselves here. The view of the bay bridge is amazing from inside the restaurant, but you really need to be up against the wall to have the best view of it from inside. For the most unobstructed view, I would suggest sitting outside. Also, I would say that the ambient noise inside the restaurant wasn't too much to deal with, and that I was able to have a conversation with my husband without difficulty. The dinner was incredible. We had a medium-rare tomahawk, which was cooked perfectly. Lately, many restaurants haven't cooked our steaks the way we like them, but Epic nailed it. We also tried the lobster (very tender), Julia child potatoes (yum!) and the Mac and cheese, and which had a lot more depth than I'd expected. Our server, Joesph, made sure from beginning to end that we were taken care of! He helped us make choices about the menu, helped me with my coat and brought a rack for my purse. He was outstanding and I never had to wonder about where he was and we never needed to ask for anything. I was discussing dessert with my husband and he popped up with a dessert menu! Spacing between meals was excellent. We were really delighted with him and he helped make our experience at Epic a great one! read more

EPIC Steak - Steakhouses Near Me - San Francisco, California

Not so "Epic" birthday meal! Wife surprised me and brought me to Epic for one of my birthday meals and I would tell anyone I care for to not waste your time or money. Here's why. First let's get the positive out of the way, the location. Right on the Embarcadero with lovely views of the bridge when sitting on the back patio. That's the highlight. Unfortunately that's where it ends. We ordered shrimp cocktail and biscuits for appetizers. Shrimp cocktail was $28 and biscuits $9. Neither worth half their price. Shrimp came out with a yellow/grey tone to them, room temp even though they're served on ice. Rather odd sensation. Strong "fishy" taste to them and would not get again. The biscuits were somehow worse. Super dry, small and lacked any character in flavor. I've honestly had better biscuits at a gas station in Arkansas. On to the main course. It gets better right? Dare I say Epic? Sorry to let you down but it got worse. As cost starts to climb as I ordered the ribeye and wife ordered the filet. Which mind you on their menu states "best damn filet". The filet was not the best damn filet. While it was prepared close to requested of medium rare, the flavor was off. They added what we best described as an artificial smoke flavor. My ribeye was ordered medium rare and was easily served at medium well. Flavor was ok for a piece of meat that was 3 minutes away from being beef jerky. Now for the side dishes, we ordered the broccolini and their famous scalloped potatoes. We could barely consume the broccolini due to this garlic confit of sorts that was slopped on top. Intensely overwhelming. The potatoes were just ok. Certainly nothing to write home about. Our server was one of those that bordered arrogance and nonchalance that might work for a small amount of people. We weren't them. Oddly our steaks came out very quick after we ordered and the free sundae for my birthday too my far the longest to come out. Of course it could have been because we were dying to get out at this point. If the meal is free, consider it. Otherwise find your nearest Sizzler and enjoy equivalent food at a fraction of the cost. read more

We came here for Happy Hour and it was an amazing experience! First of all the views are unreal, right by the water and offers a classy but fun vibe. It's also a heated patio so feels very cozy and comfortable when the evening gets chilly. We got the spritzes which were so yummy and refreshing, and a martini which went down surprisingly smooth! For bites we did the truffle-parm fries and the bucket of fried chicken - they were both amazing quality and taste, and great presentation. Service was very prompt, and we were taken care of the whole time! Tip: Waterbar right next door was insanely crowded so we just came here, and you get the same beautiful views!

I chose the shrimp salad, and it was absolutely amazing. The shrimp were fresh and perfectly cooked, and the salad was crisp and well balanced with a delicious dressing. Great food, friendly service, and a beautiful location made this a memorable lunch. We will definitely be coming back. Five stars read more

This is my husband's favorite steakhouse in SF and we've been here multiple times for dinner. But we just discovered that they have great deals on brunch! A bottle of Veuve for $49?? We questioned what that meant but it was a full 750ml bottle! And steak frites with a glass of wine for $45! We came here for birthday brunch with a party of 6. On a gorgeous September (SF summer) day, all of the brunch seating was outside on the patio. Our server was super nice and really took care of us throughout the whole meal. We were celebrating 2 birthdays and they comped 2 desserts! The food was all good and I got so full from all the butter they put in the sauces lol. I'm a sucker for biscuits and these were nice and flaky. The crab cake benedict was poached eggs straight on the crab cake, no english muffin or bread. It was bathed in tons of yummy sauce with some breakfast potatoes. The Julia Child's potatoes were a gratin, bathed in a creamy cheesy sauce. We were surprised at how large the bbq platter was, it was so much food for the price. I didn't eat any of the brunch steak options this time, but we do love coming here for their steaks for dinner. read more

Been here twice now for brunch and for lunch. Brunch: Caviar Bellini: $24 Baby iceberg wedge salad $16 6 oz filet: $55 9 oz filet: $63 Julia: $14 (mashed potatoes) The food was all seasoned well. And staff was so attentive we didn't have to ask for much. The ambiance was nice and I've heard it looks even better with the bridge lit up at night Went back again for lunch/a birthday and we had: *Calamari *New York *6oz Filet *Potato Puree *Mushrooms *Bearnaise *Chocolate Cake And it was all so great in flavor again. My filet was cooked more than what I asked for and staff was very accommodating on correcting it and apologetic. We went for a birthday and didn't expect for staff to give them a birthday card and competed a dessert for them. We had a great time both times. This is def a place that can be pricy but worth it for a nice night out. I'd give this a 4/5 but with their customer service and both experiences they get the extra star. read more

I can't believe we haven't tried this place sooner! Exceptional service from start to finish. The staff here are so attentive and anticipate everything you need. We literally didn't have to ask for a single thing! The food was insanely good! We ordered the ribeye medium rare (shared) and they cut it evenly in half for us. Such a good flavorful cut that it didn't need much but the added truffle butter was to die for. Also comes with complimentary chimichurri sauce! For sides we got the truffle Mac and cheese and the mash potatoes puree. My goodness these were so good!! Probably the best sides I've had at a steakhouse! We had an amazing time here and the food was top notch. One of the best steakhouses in San Francisco in my opinion! Would definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time because they were busy even on a Thursday! read more

If you're looking for the perfect blend of high-end dining and genuine hospitality, look no further than EPIC Steak. After having a total disaster of an experience at STK, we walked into EPIC feeling pretty deflated. Thankfully, we were seated with Mika, and she completely turned our night around. From the moment we sat down, she made us feel incredibly welcome and well-taken care of. Why we'll be back: * The Service: Mika was attentive, professional, and had a warmth that you just don't find everywhere. She truly understood how to pivot our evening from a mess to a memory. * The Atmosphere: Unlike the chaotic vibe we left behind, EPIC felt sophisticated yet inviting. * The Food: Everything was timed perfectly and cooked to absolute perfection. It's rare that a server can single-handedly save a wedding dinner, but Mika did exactly that. read more

We had our wedding day dinner at EPIC Steak and it ended up being such a great call. Mika took care of us and honestly made the whole night. She was super genuine, easy to talk to, and just had a way of making everything feel relaxed but still special. You can tell when someone actually cares, and she really did. Not just us either--our entire party loved her. Multiple people in our group even pointed out how great she was and how well she handled everything. She made sure all of us were taken care of and helped keep the vibe fun and celebratory the whole time. Food was on point across the board. The steak frites were exactly what you want--perfectly cooked, super flavorful. Oysters were fresh, clean, and a great way to start. The red velvet roumalade was something different but in a good way--we kept going back to it. And the truffle fries were ridiculous...crispy, rich, and basically impossible to stop eating. Everyone in our group kept talking about how much they liked the place, which says a lot. It's not easy to please a whole party, especially on a big day, but EPIC really delivered. Definitely a spot we'll come back to. read more

Incredible food and views! This is a great to share a bunch of apps and some drinks with friends or celebrate a special occasion and get one of their expertly cooked steaks! Recommend sitting outside if you can, they have lots of heaters and blankets upon request! You have to order the garlic shrimp, as it's one of the best dishes I've ever had. Service is always friendly and quick! If you are in the area from 4-6pm during the week they just started a new happy hour menu with some great prices! read more

We went here for an anniversary dinner. My bf made the reservation and told them it's for our anniversary so they gave us extra items for celebrating in their establishment. The gesture was very sweet. They gave us celebratory sparkling wines, a letter signed by the staff, and little cute chocolate signs on the dessert. The food was good, service was great and welcoming, and the view is wonderful. We are going to make this a tradition and go here every time we celebrate our anniversary.

Epic Steak lives up to its name. I recently had dinner here with a group of friends and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The steaks are cooked perfectly and every side dish is so good it borders on unfair. Do not sleep on the Julia Childs potatoes. They might be the star of the entire menu. Creative cocktails, excellent food, and a truly amazing view make this one of the best spots for a memorable night out. It is not cheap, but it is worth every penny. I also have to call out Barry at the host stand. He is a friend, so I know firsthand how much pride he takes in welcoming people and setting the tone for the evening. He is one of the reasons the place runs as smoothly as it does. Epic Steak delivers on every level. read more

Decided to end our trip and birthday week in San Francisco here with dinner! Weirdly enough we love seafood and find this has a better offering and better experience than its sister - Waterbar - next door! We had originally requested outside but it was chilly so we were offered a great table inside with beautiful bay views. We had a lovely server though I think she was a little stretched between tables as we did have some small hiccups but she was really lovely and helpful throughout ! Began with a dozen oysters then had lots of their smaller dishes - Burrata - fantastic; shrimp - best dish of the night as it's served over soft warm bread covered in a scampi like sauce, calamari, poke and truffle fries - they forgot the fries then gave us 2 with one being complimentary though it was not needed but a nice gesture none the less! The other snafu was that my daughter asked for steak and fries to be served at the same time but 3/4 way in we had to request them as it did not show up at the same time as ours as we requested! Enjoyed some great cocktails and a birthday dessert which was a nice way to end! Only issue with night was within 30 minutes of leaving, my oldest got violently sick and is still sick the next day at the time of writing but we did order oysters and unfortunately the risk was ours!! Still a fantastic meal, great night and stunning location ! read more

TLDR: Fine steakhouse but the real reason to dine here is for the views. Located right on the water by the Bay Bridge, EPIC is a beautiful place to sit at night. Not a bad happy hour bites selection, and service was extremely friendly. ------ FOOD: ** I'd come back for the ** 1. FRIED CHICKEN BUCKET - Best thing on the happy hour menu. Came with six pieces of crispy fried chicken that wasn't dry at all. Seasoning was also pretty intense, which was a nice surprise. 2. YELLOWTAIL CRUDO - Large portion, liked the addition of the radish and potato gaufrettes (i.e. chips) 3. CHEESECAKE BROWNIE - Took a long time to come out but the salted caramel ice cream and brownie were a wonderful combo making for the perfect sweet ending to our meal ** I might get these again ** 4. PORTER HOUSE STEAK - Good flavor, the exterior was a bit too charred and textured for my preference, but not bad 5. RIBEYE - Not as flavorful but with a better texture; relatively small portion ** I'll probably pass on these next time ** 6. CAULIFLOWER SIDE - Cauliflower was bit too overcooked 7. GLAZED CARROTS - Bathed in a pool of a bit too much butter 8. SHRIMP COCKTAIL - Didn't taste as fresh as I prefer 9. SOURDOUGH BREAD - Only slightly warm and felt like I could get this anywhere; EPIC provides a nice trio of fancy salts though to sprinkle on top of your buttered bread 10. MINI CRAB CAKES - Happy hour offering that only came with three tiny crab cakes so not worth it 11. GARLIC SHRIMP - Maybe only 4-5 shrimps and then a large chunk of brioche bread which became soggy from the shrimp ------ ENVIRONMENT / AMBIANCE: * We really enjoyed the view, especially for dinner as the sky changed colors. You can still see the view if you sit inside because they've strategically installed large windows to highlight the view, but it's probably not the same as being outside on the patio * Their heaters are POWERFUL and they have blankets on every chair, so I wouldn't worry at all about being cold * It's pretty peaceful alongside this part of the Embarcadero and you're very close to the Bay Bridge, making for a wonderful photo spot * Someone was even having their rehearsal dinner here (there was a private area that was a hybrid indoor / outdoor space next to the outdoor patio) ------ SERVICE: * We had the absolute sweetest waitress. Big props to her for making the birthday celebration special and making sure we had a great night * They changed our plates between apps and entrees, but they didn't scrape the table between courses * We felt well taken care of and water glasses were always full read more

Ambiance: We sat outside, which was absolutely lovely bc you get a beautiful view of the water and Bay Bridge. There was also nonstop live music playing kind of folky, poppy music, which was lively, but not annoying. Food: We got the steak tartare, which was tasty and a surprisingly really large portion size. The steak came with a glass of wine, and was really delicious. It was cooked perfectly, smoky and the additional salt (black lava salt and Himalayan salt). The BBQ plate was really solid for its price. The pickles were exceptionally tasty. However, I do wish the ribs had more meat on them. They were over cooked and over charred. read more

My dad chose this place for my 21st birthday and we had a great experience! The ambiance inside is fancy but still very relaxed & a place where you can feel comfortable talking in. Our waiter was great and super attentive during our meal + made sure to celebrate my birthday! My dad ordered a medium steak and unfortunately it was cooked 3x and still too rare. However, our waiter apologized profusely and offered to make it again. Crab cakes - super super good. Loved how there were pieces of crab in the light broth it came in. The cakes were the perfect texture and flavor & really enjoyed this dish. Steak & frites - the steak was cooked perfectly and came with a bunch of fresh fries which complemented each other perfectly. Truffle Mac and cheese - best dish we tried. My dad, sister, and I all loved it. It was perfectly creamy and cheesy without being over the top. Caesar salad - the crispiest lettuce and there was the perfect amount of dressing. Super refreshing and tasty. We ended the night with a birthday bread pudding and a side of vanilla soft serve. The bread pudding was actually insane and one of the best desserts I've ever had at a steakhouse. We will definitely be back! read more
