[Dinner] House of Prime Rib (Table for Eight) ($20 Deposit)

**House of Prime Rib** House of Prime Rib opened in 1949 with one mission, one purpose, to serve the best *English style Prime Rib* meal *anywhere*, but only in one place, under one roof, to use a phrase kindly, *Only In San Francisco*. Known for their 21-day aging process, their magnificent service and attention to detail that shows in the perfection of their sides (Long time attendee *Ruth* swears by their *Yorkshire Pudding* and *Pauline* has a *secret menu* item order which is amazing), desserts and every beverage option. *The House of Prime Rib's* wine list is a great tour of classics from local wineries and iconic European vines that could be older than our country. Though they have changed some over these past years, they are what they have always been a destination for *San Franciscans.* I hold this establishment as the best steak in San Francisco, *I would eat here every night if I could*. Besides Prime Rib they also serve a fish dish, which many of my friends swear by, and their salad and sides have made some of my vegetarian friends very happy. Like a great app, their menu's simplicity hides the complexity and painstaking work to create a relaxing and one of a kind experience. On a somber note, no shows will cost San Francisco Foodies, please be conscientious and let *San Francisco Foodies* know if you cannot make this reservation as early as possible, cancellations within 48 hours are considered late. Owner: *Joe Betz* (passed away September 2025), now run by his sons *Michael* and *Steven*. **Menu and Reviews** [House of Prime Rib](https://www.houseofprimerib.net/) [Hosue of Prime Rib (Instagram)](Instagram) **Administrative Trivia** Dinner pricing is around $90 per person for Prime Rib including tax and tip, dessert is extra and drinks can increase this price. *Dress is business smart, comfortable and dashing.* Each diner is responsible for their own orders and costs but we will have to consolidate and divvy up the final bill accordingly. They have a limit of four credit cards per table, cash is preferred. *Transportation to* The House of Prime Rib Muni: 1, 12, 49, *California Cable Car (3 blocks)* Street Parking can be found at 5p, but meters are used until 6p. There are nearby garages ***Valet Parking is available*** *Use the comments for ride sharing* *Photos and history from restaurant web site, review facts from* [House of Prime Rib (Thrillist)](Thrillist) *and many personal experiences.* *#EatSanFrancisco #SanFranciscoFoodies #SFFoodies* *Deposits, Prepays, Donations and Third Party Events* *A deposit is applied to each attendee’s portion of the event (for example dinner) cost or returned to each attendee when they attend. Unexpected extra from individual deposits are returned to each attendee or left as tip, at each attendee's discretion.* *A deposit is to defray hosts’ costs from no-shows and late cancelations; many restaurants charge for each guest missing.* *Prepayments are asked when the venue requires money before an event (such as a dinner) and paid by our event hosts in advance to a third party. Hosts will usually help find someone to cover a person's seat and prepayment, but that is not guaranteed.* *Deposits and prepayments are non-refundable.* We Look Forward to Seeing you at This and Other San Francisco Foodies Events

Meet, Sip & Discover Sake — Dry vs. Fruity

For our first gathering, the theme will be: **Dry vs. Fruity Sake 🍶** **◆ What we’ll do** We’ll get together in a private home in San Francisco’s SoMa area, near the former Twitter building, and taste a small selection of sake side by side. We’ll begin with a short introduction to sake basics, followed by a guided tasting of each bottle while learning about the brewery, the sake itself, and the story behind it🌾 We’ll also serve small, one-bite food pairings so you can experience how sake changes when enjoyed with food. **Note:** Food pairings will be small finger-food portions rather than a full meal. **◆ Cost** The total cost will be approximately **$21–$25 per person**. \- For each event\, there will be **4 different bottles of sake (750 ml each)**, with a total cost of around **$160**. \- The 10 of us will split the cost\, which comes to roughly **$16 per person**. \- I’ll also prepare small finger foods to pair with the 4 different bottles\, which will be around **$5 per person**. Please note that there is **no markup**, and the organizer does not make a profit from the event. **◆ Group Size** We keep the gathering small, at around **10 people**, so everyone has a chance to taste, talk, ask questions, and share their impressions. **◆ Location & Time** **Thursday, November 19th, 2026** **6:45 PM–8:30 PM** The tasting session will begin at **7:00 PM**. **Washburn Street, San Francisco, CA** The exact street number will be shared after sign-up.
