    Chimichurri steak skewers and mini Dungeness Crab cakes off the happy hour menu 6.11.26
    Jeff H.

    I don't think I've ever experienced a restaurant staffed with employees who way overshoot their station more egregiously. Happy Hour is upstairs in the bar, which they had roped off from downstairs and you had to be escorted up (like you're getting bottle service in Vegas or something). Hostess was extremely rude and in the most condescending tone possible told me "we're at capacity, you'll have to wait." I understand she had to convey a message, but it's not WHAT she said, it was HOW she said it. So I walked over to sit on the bench (I was the only one waiting) and then get the nod to migrate to Mecca apparently. Not five minutes after I parked on the bench a couple came downstairs and I asked the husband if they were leaving or just using the restroom. He said we're done and leaving. A few minutes went by then the runner brought me upstairs. I guess at Epic Steak "at capacity" means eight empty tables inside and six outside (it was almost 80 degrees when I came in, would've happily been seated outside; nope not even offered a seat there and yes the patio was open and not reserved, I asked). Service was beyond slow and I found out the entire happy hour menu is pre-batched that day. Meaning, no substitutions (which is common), but also no eliminations. Ummm, what? A couple of examples of what they consider eliminations: The mini crab cakes come sitting on top of a sauce which I personally don't like so I asked if they could just leave it off because I wasn't going to eat it. Nope. That's an elimination to them. So I asked my server, (claimed he couldn't locate the manager to address my question), "So let me make sure I understand this correctly, I told you i wasn't going to eat it as I was ordering it and please just simply to leave it off the plate, not to replace it with anything else. You're telling me, knowing full well that's it's just going to go to waste, that you're still going to waste the time to make it (when you're allegedly at capacity")? Yup, they sure did. Another example if you order the happy hour cheeseburger they don't allow you to be served without cheese. I asked well what if the person is lactose intolerant or just flat out allergic? His response, "Well then, they'll have to order off the big.boy menu and we'll customize it how they like." Oh gee thanks for that, I'd think after the cost of the dinner burger itself, tax, your 7% service charge (which doesn't all go to the staff but does help line the owner's pockets) and gratuity totaling roughly $45 it wouldn't exactly be asking for the moon to have the burger the way I want. Hey Epic, you've got a great location and the chimichurri skewers were very good, but at the next staff meeting everyone needs to drink some settle down juice. You guys aren't Smyth, so set your egos aside and focus on your customers. I'm sure the business is making plenty of money, but success should breed additional success not foster irrational confidence.

    I really had high hopes for this place. Such a beautiful restaurant right by the water. I made reservations and was seated quickly. The service here was so horrible. It really ruined the experience here. i ordered the steak and fish the fosh was pretty bland the steak was good. Almost walked out before ordering desserts but it was my anniversary. I will say the cheesecake was the star of the show. It was amazingly good.

    Came here with friends to try out this steakhouse and their happy hour! The ambiance was very nice - the happy hour requires outdoor sitting, and we had a clear view of the bay bridge and the surrounding water! The service was great as well! The server came periodically to check in on us, and provided us food recommendations. The food was also very delicious! The portion sizes were excellent for the price - the fried chicken was flavorful and a whole bucket! We also got the poke tacos and a variety of other foods to try. The drinks were also very good and we got multiple rounds of drinks, such as the spritz, to try out different ones. Overall, I would definitely come back again for the happy hour!

    Beef Tartare

    Came to Epic Steak to celebrate my brother graduating from SFSU and had a great time! If you're looking for a place to celebrate with great views, service and food, this is a great option! We had 8:45 reservations, but the ceremony ended earlier than we anticipated and we messaged them asking if we could move up our reservation and they did it with no problem! The only caveat was we had to be seated outdoors, but we didn't mind because we had a great view of the bridge, and the heat lamps kept us pretty warm for the whole night. From start to finish, the service was excellent! Our server, Francisco I believe was his name, was great and made sure to highlight my brothers graduation! The menu's had a congratulations print on it, and they gave him a note signed by the staff congratulating him on his graduation, which was such an awesome touch! He checked on us throughout our whole dinner and made sure we had everything we needed and that we were enjoying everything. He was attentive to the smallest details, like re-folding our napkins after getting up to use the restroom. He definitely made the already great experience here fantastic! After a long ceremony, we came hungry! We ordered a bunch of apps, but the standout was the beef tartare. It had great flavor and paired wonderfully with the potato chips. I went with the steak frites, and it was great! I asked for my steak medium, and it was cooked great. I enjoyed my fries, but felt they could've been cooked a but longer but that might just be my preference. They had a steak and chimichurri sauce with the steak, and the chimichurri was excellent! They also had black, pink and regular sea salt, and the black salt was amazing. It really elevated the steak, and paired with the chimichurri sauce was chefs kiss. We had to leave room for dessert, and we got almost one of each. The banana bread pudding was great! It wasn't too sweet, and had a great caramelized sauce. The bruleed banana was great addition and paired nicely with the ice cream. They gave my brother complimentary dessert of his choice, and also brought out a dried strawberry kiwi fruit brick thing that we didn't order, but appreciated trying! If you are celebrating a special occasion, I definitely recommend going to Epic Steak!

    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!

    I asked for a medium rare steak, and I got it! The meat was juicy and very delicious with the chimichurri sauce! The water view is very nice from the outdoor seating. Service was top notch and attentive.

    Yuck!

    The good, the bad, and the tough. Let's start with the good, because unfortunately there isn't much of it when it comes to the food. Nice views and the staff was friendly and accommodating. We were here for a bday celebration and left extremely disappointed. The Tomahawk steak was so tough, chewy, and full of gristle that we had to send it back. To their credit, the kitchen staff actually tried it and agreed there was an issue (as reflected on the bill). We then ordered the Porterhouse as a replacement, but it wasn't much better and was overcooked and flavorless. Honestly, I've made better steaks from Costco in my air fryer--no joke. The fries were also disappointing. At $16, the portion was about the size of a small McDonald's order. The only truly standout food item was the Caesar salad. The complimentary birthday dessert, the Epic Sundae, was underwhelming as well: soft-serve ice cream (again like at McDonalds) over a stale brownie. For a restaurant at this price point, we expected much more. What was most surprising was that the manager never stopped by the table to acknowledge the issue with the Tomahawk or offer any explanation. A simple conversation would have gone a long way. Between the poor quality of the steaks, small portions, and lack of management follow-up = cannot recommend this restaurant and will not be returning. P.S. the bathroom was also not up to par.

    Wagyu cheeseburger
    Doreen C.

    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.!

    The best damn fillet
    Angela K.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Plate of meats, pate, prosciutto pickles, mustard, bread  now why didn't I think to make a sandwich
    Javier O.

    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.

    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

    Is there valet parking?

    No they no longer have valet service. But street parking is pretty easy

    Do you have to make a reservation?

    Highly recommended, you can always check in the bar!

    July 2022, is valet parking back?

    it wasn't when i went a few weeks ago.

    Bar/counter seating for solo diner?

    Is outdoor seating available for the unvaccinated?

    They do have out door seating. May be available upon request if you are making a reservation. I am not sure how strict they are about asking for proof of vac. The last time I was there a few months ago, they did not ask me for mine. Good luck!

    Do they have prime rib on their dinner menu?

    Do we need to be vaccinated to eat here?

    I would have to assume YES, since it's located in San Francisco and the vaccination requirement for SF establishments started on 8/20/2021.

    Are dogs still allowed if you have patio seating?

    I sat outdoors with my small dog/ESA tonight, but there was also another dog at the table next to ours who didn't appear to be a service dog or ESA.

    Is there a minimum for Dining? I've read their neighbor restaurant is minimum $75 each 🤨

    There is no minimum though the local city ordinance requires all guests to have a meal and not just alcohol when seated. Please make a reservation as we run out of tables everyday.

    What is their corkage fee?

    $25 per bottle.

    Are there many/any vegetarian options?

    They have a few if you still do seafood but i would go somewhere else. We went there, being meat eaters, and were forced to order 12 oz and 14 oz steaks starting at over 50 bucks because thats the beginning size unless you want a 6oz filet mignon… Read more

    Is parking available in restaurant?

    I've seen Valet Parking, but I don't know the hours. Street parking is spotty.

    What time is their happy hour? The website doesn't say.

    2:30pm - 6pm I believe. Search Yelp photos for the menu!

    Can you bring a bottle of wine?! If so what is the corkage fee ?! Thank you!

    $25

    Is the Impossible Burger available at dinner or only at lunch?

    They change their menu daily, at least for dinner. And it wasn't on the dinner menu the day we went.

    Do you guys have valetparking?

    Yes we do! $20 per car. Valet is located curbside between Epic and Waterbar

From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the warm, coastal charm of the space. The soft lighting, breezy decor, and gentle music created the perfect backdrop for what would become one of the most unforgettable nights of my life. I came in for cocktails with a friend, not knowing that fate had other plans. One cocktail, a few laughs, and a perfectly timed Old Fashioned later, I found myself deep in conversation with someone who would change my life. Beyond the magic of that night, Natamo Cabana truly delivers. The staff is attentive and kind, always making you feel like you're part of something special.

The space has a fun indoor-outdoor party vibe with string lights, a big bar area, and a lot of people moving through throughout the night. Because it gets very crowded during First Thursdays, the energy feels more like a social event than a typical bar night. It's a good place to stop by if you're already out in the area and want somewhere with music and a busy atmosphere. The photo here was taken from their little loft area, which is actually really cute and a great spot for people watching since you can see the whole bar and crowd from above. One thing I wasn't sure about was the plastic cups. Every time I've gone they've served drinks in plastic cups, but since it's so busy during First Thursdays, I'm not sure if that's their normal setup or just something they do to keep things moving during the event. I ordered a rosé, which was perfectly fine and easy to drink while walking around.

Luckily, my friend had already been to Iron Horse Cocktails, and suggested we go there instead. Walking down the alleyway it is located in was a nice getaway from the otherwise hectic union square atmosphere. Walking in was also a neat experience that felt like we were stepping out of the city into a tiny pub. We also really liked the atmosphere inside and the cozy upper floor that had an interesting mix of old paintings and woodwork, creating an eclectic feel. I got the We've Got the Beet cocktail with mezcal, beet reduction, ginger, fresh citrus, thyme and firewater bitters. I love mezcal's smoky flavors and was drawn to the combination of ginger, citrus and mezcal flavors in the drink. The cocktail was very good and had a nice smokiness from the mezcal, along with the kick from the ginger and zest from the citrus, creating a refreshing and tasty drink. My friend got the About Thyme, with gin, blackberry liquor, black pepper thyme syrup and fresh citrus. We both really liked his drink as well, which had an interesting kick from the black pepper thyme syrup that offset the gin and blackberry liquor nicely. While we only had time to grab a drink each, we were both very happy with the drinks and would definitely come back the next time we're in the area.

We loved everything we ate except the tuna ( we didn't like the sauce) the tuna was great we just didn't like the sauce For drinks we had the Garden Fizz, Paloma, and Lycheetini. All wonderful For food we had : charcuterie board, prawn cocktail ( HUGE prawns and my second favorite dish), ahi tuna tataki, chicken adobo tacos and the Prosciutto flatbread ( my favorite!) For dessert we shared the Ube Crème Brûlée I wanted to try the house made chips cause they looked delicious but I was too full. Definitely a great place to come and celebrate!

    I love a hotel bar and 15 extra points if its super fancy! I felt like the ultimate princess…read moresitting at the St. Regis bar. Arrived on a whim at around 6pm on a weekday and found a nice seat at the bar top. They have these little orb lights that can't be moved. Sitting in front of one takes some bar space away from you, so I changed seats to get a few more inches of space. Emilio the bartender was mega friendly and went over some items on the menu. He also told me I was right on time for the saber champagne presentation -more on that in a sec. For drinks, I ordered the Hibiscus Spice and the Paradise cocktail. Both were super fruity and delicious! I had a great time sipping on this while chatting it up with a few folks at the bar. To nibble, I can never say no to ahi tuna tartare and this one was great! The most interesting little wafers, ahi tuna with some avocado cream and a little spicy sauce. I absolutely devoured these! So good! Now for the best part, the champagne presentation! A gentleman gave a little info session on on how this process is done and at the end he took a giant to a bottle of champagne to open it. Really Cool! What made this even better was that everyone at the bar got to snag a complimentary glass. What a treat! Super cute little hour of so sitting at the bar at the St. Regis. Absolutely a little pricey, but i'ma girl who lives to spoil herself a bit. Because YOLO. Right?

    Breakfast review here…read more. Food (4.5 star) + Truffle omelette comes with tasty sliced potatoes that are crispy on the edges and soft inside. There is a nice cheesy outer layer with a fluffy and somewhat yolky interior. Truffles are a nice touch but barely noticeable in taste. + Kids breakfast for $20 is nearly an adults portion. Their hash brown is a bigger slice of that tasty potato with a cheesy top. Service (2 stars) - Today is not a good day for the staff here. Either she's new or there is a lack of training, but I saw nearly every order going to the wrong table. Ambiance (4 stars) + It's St Regis so you get the posh everything - At the bar, I'm not a fan of the light that's situated on top of where I'm sitting

    We had a great meal here. We were staying across the street at the Marriott Marquis hotel, so it…read morewas a convenient walk. We ordered from both the Happy hour menu and the regular menu. On the Happy Hour menu we ordered the Carnitas tacos, deviled eggs and a light beer. The pork carnitas tacos were very tasty and a good value. So much so that we ordered an extra serving. The salads were terrific. I ordered the kale salad and added protein- it was delicious. The service was great on all fronts. I really appreciated that the tables were spread out and not on top of one another. Many San Francisco restaurants try to squeeze in as many tables together as they can but the Harlequin doesn't, which makes for a more pleasant dining experience.

    We enjoyed The Harlequin so much that we visited the establishment twice during our 6- day work…read moretrip. We loved the happy hour vibes. During our HH which turned into dinner visit. We tried and loved the oysters, the buffalo chicken sandwich, the espresso martinis (which are on tap), the Tequila selection, the Old Fashioned, and the HH chicken sliders. During dinner we tried and loved the Margarita pizza, truffle Parmesan fries, the Wedge salad, and a steak and noodle dish. We did not like and would not recommend the Smash Burger. It was entirely too greasy to eat. Located directly across the street from the Marriott San Francisco Marquis. Awesome service, would definitely visit again!
