Was it awesome! Yep! Would I go again, 100%! They do their sides beautifully and exquisitely. It's a lovely date spot, celebration spot, going by yourself spot. We got a lovely blue cheese salad (which I'm not normally a fan of but they got the balance right). We also had veal sweetbreads, not bad! It was my first time having such a thing.. and I'd have it again. The main course was our prime rib and yum! Fully of beef flavor. But there's a place that's just a touch more tender than how they made their's... so it's a close second for us!
I've been here a couple of times, from family dinners to celebrations, and it's always solid! The ambiance is a classic, traditional steakhouse. For apps, we get the Steamed clams or mussels, crab cakes, and a couple of salads. I always order the Harris steak because I love a NY strip. You have a choice of baked or scalloped potato and seasonal veggies (usually snap peas and carrots). My family loves the Prime rib! It's a huge portion, so my grandparents always split the steak! There's a difference between "Split" and "Shared". Split is when you're paying extra $10 for the sides and the kitchen will split the steak for you to share. Shared plates is when you don't get extra sides and the steak will not be split. For dessert, my favorite is the baked Alaska! They have the flavor of the baked Alaska depending on the season! Overall, the food is good, the service is solid, and most of the time I've had a great experience. One of my favorite classic American steak house! Can't go wrong!
Harris' Steakhouse sets the gold standard for dining in San Francisco. From the convenient valet parking to the complimentary coat check, the hospitality was exemplary from the second we arrived. When we needed to return a drink, the team handled it graciously without hesitation or hassle. The food was nothing short of divine--spectacular mussels, a perfectly cooked steak, and every single side dish was exquisite. Everything was execution at its finest. I was beyond thrilled with our evening and cannot wait to return.
Our group of four visited Harris' Restaurant for dinner, and from start to finish, the experience was exceptional. We had reservations and were seated promptly, which set the tone for the evening. The atmosphere is consistently top-notch. The dining room features comfortable booths and well-spaced tables, creating a cozy yet private environment. Service was outstanding, as always. Plates were cleared quickly between courses, water glasses were continually refilled, and the servers were friendly and attentive without being intrusive. My husband and I shared the roasted peaches and goat cheese on endive lettuce leaves to start. It was amazing--sweet, juicy peaches paired perfectly with creamy goat cheese and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. For my main course, I ordered Steak Diane, which was prepared perfectly. The sauce was rich and flavorful. One of the highlights is that their dinners are not à la carte; my steak included a choice of potatoes, and my loaded baked potato was spot-on. The sautéed zucchini and carrots were cooked to perfection. Between the superb service, delicious food, and inviting atmosphere, Harris Steakhouse remains a favorite. We will definitely be returning.
Was able to get a late Sunday evening dinner with my kids for a Mother's Day mini celebration. We showed up on time. The steak displace on the window was pretty fabulous. It is an old school American restaurant feel. We got seated pretty quickly and the seats were very comfortable. The bread here was pretty solid. Good crust on the outside and a big softness inside. My younger one loved it. Ordered a shrimp cocktail to start, prime rib for me, Harris cut steak for kiddos, got fries for kids and ordered extra mushroom. Shrimp cocktail was wonderful. Fresh, jumbo sized with some salad to go with. Ordered a glass of red. It was alright. My prime rib was wonderful. Temp was just right, good amount of salt, nice amount of options for my baked potatoes. I am not a huge fancy of creamed spinach. But it tastes alright. Liked my mushroom side but it was slightly greasy. Kids liked the steak. They precut the steak for little ones. Fries were okay. We couldn't finish the main meals and had a good amount to go. I ordered a baked Alaska and my older one got a strawberry shortcake. We both loved our desert. Service was great. Attentive and efficient. Overall, we all had a wonderful time! Would be back.
A unique difference. Everything was just excellent. They took us in immediately. Jim, our server, was an obvious veteran and helped us finalize our order and make sure everything was great. Never had to ask for water or refills. Steak and prime rib was perfect. We had the onion rings which were unique. But I thought it needed a dipping sauce. Ask and see what they could prepare. Prime rib was medium rare which was perfect for me. And their horseradish was very special. But be prepared, it's very strong. Creamed Spinach was also excellent. We also liked the baked potato which had all the trimmings. So be prepared to eat a lot.
It's a Wednesday night and we had no reservation, we were greeted with a warm welcome, quickly seated and had a wonderful server. We had the prime rib, it was absolutely delicious. Every element on the plate was perfection, there is not one single thing I would change. Live music as a dinner accompaniment in a thoughtfully decorated cozy and not too loud atmosphere. Absolutely will be back next time I'm in town.
Had such a great first experience! Our server Damion was amazing, friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The place was very calm & relaxing compared to house of prime down the street. The prime rib was absolutely delicious, tender, juicy, and cooked perfectly. Definitely one of the best meals I've had in a while! Great service and great food. We'll definitely be back!
Boyfriend and I went to Harris' for date night. Our waitress, Lucy, was phenomenal! Her recommendations were super helpful since it was our first time there. I ordered the filet mignon with scalloped potatoes and my boyfriend ordered the ribeye. The filet was flavorful and juicy while the scalloped potatoes were addicting. Harris' is easily one of our top 5 best restaurant recommendations for steak!
Had to do some research on a good steak house in sf to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday and Harris' certainly met my expectations based on the reviews I read. I wanted a nice old school steak house where people put effort in their clothes (not just a t shirt and jeans) and I'd say this is definitely the place. Compared to House of Prime Rib next door, I'd argue that I had a better experience with reservations, drinks, and our food here...!!! Arrived a bit early but luckily our table was ready which was great! I couldn't be any more satisfied with my filet mignon, side of potato and green beans, and two glasses of wine. For the dessert menu they have a variety of drinks and food. Because I was already so full I decided to go with the wine which was definitely a dessert itself from how sweet it was. If you're looking for a good steak house this is it! Pricey of course but worth it. (They also had live music towards the back)
Skipped appetizers and salad and went straight for the petite filet cooked medium rare with a baked potato and seasonal vegetables. The steak was cooked perfectly. They served the steak with garlic butter. The steak had a slight char on it and I wish there was more. The potato and seasonal vegetables were great complement to the steak. Kevin did an excellent job as our server. I got the crème brûlée for dessert and it was tasty. It would have been outstanding if the glaze on top would have been a little thicker. Vibe is upscale.
Opened in 1984, Harris' Restaurant is one of those San Francisco classic steakhouses. I came here with my friend after seeing a video on eating at the bar, but we opted for the dining room. The restaurant leans into old-school elegance, with plush booths, soaring ceilings, brass chandeliers, and live music adds to the timeless atmosphere. Service was excellent! The bar has a darker, almost library-like vibe, while the dining room feels brighter, like a conservatory. It's giving 1950s charm--but with a twist, since the restaurant is only dating back to the '80s. And it even has a legacy restaurant seal on the front of their building.
A classic steakhouse! Less crowded than house of prime rib nary a block away. The service and ambiance feels like a time capsule, what I imagine the Ritz Carlton from the early 2000s nailed in having ceremonious hospitality feel normal. This is not a flashy restaurant vying to capture the instagram crowd. This is an establishment weathering decades, though I will say Harris' carries the faint sterility and stiffness of a hotel lobby. I would probably choose a different cut from the porterhouse next time. This is a splurge meal for an occasion if you are looking to cosplay what millenials romanticize as old money.
Hot take: Harris' may be my favorite steakhouse in San Francisco. I said, what I said. While HOPR down the street gets most of the attention, Harris' offers a better overall dining experience in my opinion. More comfortable seating, a quieter and more refined atmosphere, and a menu that gives you far more options than just prime rib. We celebrated a birthday here and every course was excellent and we may have ordered almost half the menu. We started off with fresh oysters, giant prawn cocktail, clams mariniere and surprisingly tasty veal sweetbreads. Even the complimentary bread was worth mentioning. Our waiter Andy was knowledgeable, professional and helped make the evening feel special. I ordered the 22 oz Executive Cut on the Bone because apparently self-control wasn't invited to dinner. I asked for medium rare and it was perfectly cooked, incredibly flavorful and served with an au jus that enhanced the beef rather than overwhelming it. It was phenomenal. You also had a choice of a baked potato, mashed potato and creamed spinach. Desserts included Baked Alaska, creme brulee, cheesecake and a trio of ice cream. Everyone at the table raved about their item they ordered, many of which did order the bone in prime rib. It was a memorable meal and we are already figuring out when we will return. The valet parking was $19, although I seem to recall that my $20 bill never made the return trip. Ha! If you're looking for a great steakhouse in San Francisco, Harris' definitely deserves to be at the top of your list. read more
Made a reservation a couple weeks in advance for dinner Saturday night to celebrate a birthday. We used the $19 valet parking and were seated right when we walked in. We ordered 2 appetizers: the Caesar salad and the soup of the day which was a truffle soup. I highly recommend the soup if it's the truffle one, I was raving about it all night. They provide complimentary bread as well with nice room temperature butter which I used to dip in the soup. The Caesar salad was pretty good, with the anchovy on top. We split both so they kindly had separated both appetizers into 2 portions so we both had our own. For the main we ordered the aged beef: one porterhouse and one Harris steak medium rare. It was cooked perfectly and wonderfully seasoned. I could taste the dry age and loved how tender the steaks were. For the porterhouse we got the evening potato which was a mashed potato and for the Harris we got a baked potato with all of the fixings. The seasonal vegetable were snap peas which looked and tasted fresh. It was a big portion, we couldn't finish it all so they packed up the leftovers very nicely for us. Next time I would get the fillet mignon and Harris instead. For dessert we got the special which was off the menu: a porter chocolate cake. It was decadent and delicious. I could actually taste a bit of the porter beer and added a nice dimension to the taste profile. Everything was amazing and service was great. The restaurant itself had a very nice classic feel, will definitely be back to celebrate more special occasions. read more

Harris' Restaurant Date: September 9, 2026 After attending the SF Opera, my cousin suggested that we see if we could get into House of Prime Rib without a reservation. House of Prime Rib told us there was a 4-hour wait. My cousin then walked over to Harris' Restaurant and was told the wait was about 1 1/2 hours. While my other cousin was looking for parking on Polk Street, my cousin called Sabor Gaúcho Prime Brazilian Steakhouse on Polk Street and was told there was no wait. While we were still looking for parking, my cousin received a call from Harris' Restaurant saying that someone had canceled and they could seat us if we could arrive within 10 minutes. And that's how we ended up at Harris' Restaurant! It made me think that even if you don't have a reservation, you never know what might happen. Sometimes things just work out, and maybe it was meant to be. We received complimentary bread, and I asked for olive oil and balsamic vinegar to go with it. I ordered the Petit Filet Mignon, 8 oz ($69), cooked medium-well, with mashed potatoes and vegetables. My two cousins each ordered the Executive Cut on the Bone Roast Prime Rib, 22 oz ($83), cooked medium, with mushrooms for an additional $3. I truly enjoyed my filet mignon. It was flavorful and tender, perfectly cooked medium-well, and delicious. My cousins really enjoyed their prime rib. They said it was meaty, savory, thick-cut, and satisfying. The waiter explained that the bone is about 6 oz, so the actual portion of prime rib is around 16 oz. One cousin finished his entire prime rib, and before we left, he liked it so much that he made a reservation for Christmas dinner. While we were there, I noticed that people were also eating at the bar. When a couple was leaving, I said hello to the woman because I knew her. It was interesting to see people eating at the bar or just hanging out while waiting for their tables. I also noticed a few people looking at my cousins' large prime rib portions. One cousin finished his entire prime rib, and I could see why the other people were looking--it was quite a large piece of meat! If you're dining alone, Harris' Restaurant is also a good option because you can sit and eat at the bar. You don't necessarily need a table to enjoy a meal here. My cousins both ordered some wine, while I just had my regular water with lemon, no ice. We also ordered one Baked Alaska ($19) to share. The dessert was a little small for the price and was a little too sweet for me. While we were there, there was also a live band with three musicians, which added a nice atmosphere to the evening. Overall, my first experience at Harris' Restaurant was amazing. I really enjoyed the food, service, atmosphere, and the unexpected way we ended up getting a table. I would definitely come back and recommend giving Harris' a try, even if you don't have a reservation. read more
Was it awesome! Yep! Would I go again, 100%! They do their sides beautifully and exquisitely. It's a lovely date spot, celebration spot, going by yourself spot.

It was my first time having such a thing.. and I'd have it again. The main course was our prime rib and yum! Fully of beef flavor.

For apps, we get the Steamed clams or mussels, crab cakes, and a couple of salads. I always order the Harris steak because I love a NY strip. You have a choice of baked or scalloped potato and seasonal veggies (usually snap peas and carrots). My family loves the Prime rib! It's a huge portion, so my grandparents always split the steak! There's a difference between "Split" and "Shared". Split is when you're paying extra $10 for the sides and the kitchen will split the steak for you to share. Shared plates is when you don't get extra sides and the steak will not be split. For dessert, my favorite is the baked Alaska! They have the flavor of the baked Alaska depending on the season! Overall, the food is good, the service is solid, and most of the time I've had a great experience. One of my favorite classic American steak house! Can't go wrong! read more

I've been coming to Harris' for years now and have nothing but fantastic things to say about this restaurant. I hosted my birthday dinner here, date nights, dinner with friends and colleagues, etc. and the service has always been impeccable. The wait staff is incredibly kind and willing to accommodate any changes or requests. They are also more than happy to recommend some of their faves on the menu. My favorite dish to get is the New York steak (medium rare) with creamed spinach and scalloped potatoes. The steaks are always amazing and I stand by this being my favorite steak in the city! I highly recommend visiting Harris' for the best steak in the city. Reservations fill up fast but I typically haven't had issues getting a table within a week's notice. If you are willing to have a later dinner (after 8:30pm), you can probably get a same day table! read more

Enjoyed a nice evening here last night for my husband's birthday and we really enjoyed it. We started off with oysters, the fried onion rings and mushroom combination and caesar salad. I don't eat oysters, but my husband said they were good. The fried onion rings and mushrooms were good. They weren't greasy at all and the sauce it came with (some sesame soy ginger sauce) complimented them really well. The caesar salad was delicious and they did not skimp on dressing it well (I hate when salads lack enough dressing!). My husband ordered the bone-in ribeye with a baked potato. We go to steakhouses a lot and I've never seen a steak so big. He was pretty excited to have a good amount leftover to take home and enjoy again the next day. There's some sort of table side service when you order a baked potato. A gentleman arrived and offered him butter, sour cream and chives. This was pretty neat. My husband said his dinner was delicious. I ordered the chicken with sherry sauce and scalloped potatoes. The chicken was moist and the sherry sauce was delicious! I wish I had a big gulp cup of it to drink (just kidding). The scalloped potatoes were also so good. Soft and buttery. Both our dinners came with snap peas which tasted fresh. I had ordered some spritz that had orange blossom in it and I must have told my husband like a million times how much I liked it. I really liked the flavors in it. I was also surprised to find a dessert cocktail on the menu that didn't have coffee in it (I dont like coffee). It was the Elysium I believe and it comes with Amaro liqueur, Kailua and Mexican chocolate bitters. It was very tasty and unlike anything I've ever tried. For dessert, we got the carrot cake. Not something you see often. It came with a scoop of ice cream and some sort of crunchy caramel topping. I don't usually like carrot cake, but the birthday boy picked it and I was pleasantly surprised. It was moist and I liked the gingeryness to it. I didnt realize the music I heard was live music. It would've been cool to be seated with a view of them, but it was nice music playing in the background. I really enjoyed the natural light coming into the big dining area. Nice restaurants always seem to be dark inside. The place also offers valet ($19) which we happily took up. Lovely steakhouse and I plan to come back to try the baked Alaska. read more
I don't know if they just messed up my meal but my steak was charred and dry despite being rare on the inside. Just an average experience for me. Valet was nice, 19$ flat rate. If you don't have cash you pay at the bar and leave a tip on the receipt. I was just disappointed with my steak. I ended up cutting off the burnt edges. Pricey place. read more

I want to give this place 100/10 for service!!! I want to start with they did a coat check, and unfortunately my coat got some sticky stuff stuck to my coat. Their restaurant manager immediately apologized and tried to use gin to wipe the glue off for me, and then he gave me his card and asked me to email him for compensation after I got my coat dry clean. Oh also before we left, he immediately recognized us and went to get our coat. He's seriously the most professional and sweetest person (and really good memories) I have ever met in a restaurant! Shout out to him! Agh I wish I remember his name!! But we went there on Dec 14,2025 around 7pm (I think)! I'm thankful for his amazing help! Now for the food, I'm loving every bit of it! I got a ribeye and my husband got a NY steak. They both cooked perfectly and seasoned so well! The scallops potatoes were so creamy and the sauce was soaked into the potatoes. The drinks were kinda strong and yummy! Didn't taste much of alcohol! I felt a little bit of buzzed but maybe I drank it so fast before the food came! Hehe! I love that they have live music there and the whole place decorated so Christmas vibe!! read more
Valet parking for $19 is a good option if you arrive after 6 PM; by then, there is nothing on-street, and the local garages are just as expensive. The food run-down: - 4.8/5: Crab cakes $31. Excellent. Very little filler, and very crab-flavored. The coating is perfectly crunchy, and the sauce is great. - 4.7: House red wine: $14. It's great when the generic house red wine is superb. It's dressy. They have live jazz every night in the bar/lounge, and the acoustics are great. Here's the Jazz Schedule: - Tue/Wed: Ken French Duo 6-9:30 - Thu: Kent Strand Trio 6:30-9:40 - Fri: Gaea Schell Trio 7-10 - Sat: Trio 7-10:30 - Sun: Ken Muir Duo 6-9:30 read more
Came here on a Thursday night and really glad we made a reservation since there was already a line forming when they opened. The service was great. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Food took a little while to come out but that's expected at a nice sit-down spot like this. We started with the fried mushroom and onion which were super crispy and not greasy. The soy sauce it came with was a little basic though, I kinda wished there was an aioli or something more flavorful on the side. We also tried the crab cake. I usually don't like bell peppers but the flavor still turned out really good and it was packed with actual crab meat. I got the Harris steak with evening potatoes and it was amazing!! The steak was seasoned well and cooked perfectly. The potatoes were creamy and pillowy inside and had really good flavor too. My boyfriend ordered the prime rib and enjoyed it a lot. The outer part was a little too salty for us but the smoky flavor and tenderness made up for it. read more
From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere sets the tone. The restaurant is spacious, clean, and beautifully lit, with warm lighting that complements the rich wood interiors perfectly. Every corner feels intentional. I especially loved the mix of seating throughout the restaurant, cozy booths, classic tables, and bar seating that gives the place a lively yet refined energy. Reservations are highly recommended and for good reason. One of the coolest details is being able to see the steaks aging through the window, it instantly builds trust and excitement before the food even hits the table. Now, the food. We had Harris' Steak and the Ribeye and both were exceptional. Perfectly cooked, incredibly juicy, and packed with deep, beefy flavor. You can tell these steaks are treated with care, well seasoned, expertly prepared and served with confidence. The steak tartare was beautifully presented and full of flavor, fresh, balanced, and rich without being overwhelming. It was one of those dishes where you pause for a second after the first bite because it's just that good. To drink, we went with Kir Royales, which were crisp, refreshing and elegant. The perfect pairing for a classic steakhouse dinner. Overall, the dishes were not only flavorful and well prepared, but also visually appealing, which added to the experience. This is food meant to be savored, not rushed. Harris' isn't just a place to eat, it's a place to sit back, enjoy the ambiance, and treat yourself to a proper steakhouse experience. If you're looking for quality cuts, a polished atmosphere and food that absolutely delivers, this spot belongs on your list. Highly recommend. read more
What an experience! As a first-timer, I am very happy that I went during their Holiday setup because the decor is stunning especially with their already established interior. Low-Lightning, vintage-y classic interior, very elegant. There are 2 sides to the restaurant, 1 near the bar and live music (pianist), the other side is your classic sit-down dining; calmer and more quiet. Staff is very professional and quick, attentive to your needs throughout the entire evening. Our waiter was so sweet. To begin, I had a extra dirty martini with gin and blue cheese filled olives. Blue cheese is not as strong with sitting inside of the martini, but they definitely do not hold back on the filling. Cesar Salad was delicious, topped with crunchy croutons and a slice of anchovy. For my main course, I went with the Petite Filet Mignon and it was absolutely amazing. Plain, as-is, the meat had so much flavor and was just cooked to perfection. Every bite was amazing! Paired with their sugar snap peas and mashed potatoes along with a side of their Creamed Spinach, I was very well pleased with it all. Definitely a must try! read more

Ambiance is exactly what you'd expect! Classic American steakhouse with impeccable service and experience. That's definitely the highlight! Food is decent, but if you're looking for eye opening steaks, I'd probably look elsewhere. But that's not to say that Harris' is subpar by any means. This is the perfect place for celebrations of any event! We ordered the ribeye and 49er cut. Meat was thick and plentiful, though a little dry. It tasted exactly as how you'd expect--steak! The sides could use some more seasoning, but albeit that's something you could add on later. Overall had a well rounded experience here. read more

Delicious! First timer. We really enjoyed ourselves... food and ambience was perfect. Music was beautiful. Steak Diane was good but I recommend the New York... The scallop potatoes were THE BEST EVER! Baked Alaska was good. But I don't think I'd order that again. I would try something different. read more
We came here for a birthday celebration. There seems to be two dining rooms areas. The vibe is like a formal dining where owners or managers in suits are hosting and checking in. We were 15-20 minutes late for our reservations on a Tuesday night. They had plenty of tables available. Parking on the street was easy after 6 pm. Service was really good but they didn't ask us if there was a special occasion. As for the food and drinks, they had the most extensive wine menu I've ever seen. We just ordered a couple of cocktails: - Blackberry bramble 4/5 sweet - Steakhouse sangria 3/5 not the fruity sangria that I was expecting. This one just had lemon and rum with red wine. Food: - oysters 4/5 just fresh raw oysters - scallop app 5/5 - onion soup 3/5 lacking cheese topping - potato soup 3/5 heavy cream - lamb chops 4/5 - sweet breads 5/5 some kind of veal part - 49er cut 4/5 - Caesar salad 4/5 - salmon 3/5 just ok, nothing special All the entrees came with potatoes and snap peas. Overall, we weren't especially impressed with the food. I don't think that I would come back again given I don't eat beef or red meat and not much selection for fish. read more
The martinis are amazing and come in the cutest barrel to keep your drink cold always. The warm bottomless bread couldn't have been better. The scallop app was unreal, I will be dreaming about that sauce for weeks. I got the filet with a side of bearnaise sauce and it was cooked to perfection. read more

Harris' is the kind of classic steakhouse experience that's getting harder and harder to find -- and they do it perfectly. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is stunning: a gorgeous antique Brunswick mahogany bar, live piano jazz, and an elegant dining room lined with deep leather banquettes that feels timeless and refined. The entire place has that old-school San Francisco charm that immediately makes the evening feel special. The service was absolutely first-class -- attentive, professional, and warm without ever feeling rushed. And the food? Outstanding. The steak was beautifully prepared and exactly what you hope for from a legendary steakhouse. What really says it all: I enjoyed the experience so much that I came back again the very next night. If you're visiting San Francisco and want a truly classic steakhouse experience, Harris' is a must-visit. I can't recommend it highly enough. read more

Made a reservation for 2 to celebrate a birthday, and I noticed that there was more availability than at the other popular prime rib restaurant in the city. | v i b e | The decor is very... classic? Traditional? The ambience was lively but not overly loud, which I appreciated. I unfortuntaely forgot my waiter's name, but he was an older gentleman. He was really sweet and had the best recommendations for us, from the drinks to our dessert. Everything we had was spot on! | f o o d | starters - blackberry bramble: a very vodka-forward drink, but the blackberry really shines through! - soup of the day: it was the clam chowder, and our waiter recommended it because they don't have it too often. So glad we got it because it was delicious. Creamy but not heavy. A great start to our meal! meat - prime rib: be warned... the 22oz is HUGE. You will guaranteed go home with leftovers. The jus it comes with is divine. - pepper steak: so much black pepper!! The steak was cooked perfectly, and the peppercorn sauce was enough to give it a tiny kick. *Choose the scalloped potatoes as your side. The BEST CHEESY POTATOES EVER* dessert - blood orange & jasmine creme brulee: yes, it was as good as it sounded. | t l ; d r | A classic steakhouse with great food and service! I like that there is variety in meat options, and the sides were solid too. Apparently there was live jazz too so hopefully I'll have the chance to sit closer to the live music the next time I visit too. read more

The food and service was quite good. We were seated promptly and they have a bag check which was very convenient. Host and server were both very kind. Our server was Joseph and he was very knowledgeable about the menu and the cocktails. I would definitely return. read more

Ask the Community - Harris' Restaurant
Is there bar seating and can a seat be reserved for one?
Yes there is a bar and lounge area. Reservation for one may not be required, but they will certainly take it.
What is acceptable dining attire?
Attire is nice or business casual. Nice jeans or khaki's dressed up on top are fine. Shorts, hats, flip-flops, and overly athletic wear are not permitted in the Main Dining Room. Our Piano Lounge walk-in tables are more casual.
If you show up at opening will they take walk ins? If so how long will you wait?
There are tables for dinner saved for walk-ins... No wait as long as a table is available.
Is proof of vaccination still required? 7/22
It was not required last time we were there.
Do you offer outdoor dining for non vaccinated people?
No, they don't have outdoor dining. All of San Francisco requires vaccination card (some need booster as well) for indoor dining. Not all have outdoor dining. Best to be vaccinated if you visit San Francisco!
Do they offer dine in as of Aug 2021?
Yes, they do. You must provide proof of vaccination to dine. We just had a fabulous dinner there last night, highly recommended.
Are they offering dine in?
No. They were open for awhile but then San Francisco shut down again. I got the opportunity to eat there on my Birthday in October. Great as always and they hadn't raised their prices
What do the take out Menu look like?
The whole menu is available for takeout. It can be found at Harrisrestaurant.com. Let me know if you have any questions about the menu.
