1906 Van Ness Ave * San Francisco, CA
For our anniversary, mr. Lee decided to chow down on some prime rib. this was his first time and my multiple time. We arrived a few minutes early for our reservations and were promptly seated in a cozy booth in the back by the fireplace.
We perused the menu, which is fairly simple with 4 different cuts/sizes of prime rib. There are a few other items, but why would you go to the HOUSE of prime rib to eat anything but that.
We both ordered prime rib. I had the English cut and he had the House of Prime Rib Cut. The meal includes a salad, potatoes (mashed or baked), creamed veggie (spinach or corn), and yorkshire pudding.
The hunk of warm sourdough arrived at our table just as we were being seated
Sourdought Loaf crunchy crust and a soft springy inside
House Salad Lettuce, beets, eggs, and tomatoes with a delicious creamy thousand island-like dressingI've always loved their salad. Maybe its because they toss it table-side making for a dramatic approach to salad. More probable is the fact that its super saturated with dressing.
Left: HOPR cut Right: English cut we both got ours with mashed potatoes and creamed corn (the yorkshire pudding is not pictured here)The prime rib was carved tableside to our liking. We both ordered it medium, although looking back, I should have ordered mine Medium Rare since it was cut thin and placed on a super hot plate. Nonetheless the meat melted and was flavored really nicely. the creamed corn was a newer item on the menu, it was nice, could be a tad more flavorful.
Overall, it was a delicious meal with great service. We had a great time. I recommend it for special occasions or if you want to get a prime rib fix.
