by Lenna Nardini on Slick decor, pretentious, overly loud, hit-or-miss food. We came as a large party for an early 6pm dinner on Saturday. Service was quite seamless and the restaurant was largely empty at that time. We were seated at one of their round booths, which wasn't very comfortable as the space was tight. It was also a tad strange they had their bathrooms and coat checks on the 2nd level (where the private dining rooms are located). We each had a mini mac as an appetizer. It was certainly tasty and I very much enjoyed their special sauce (thousand-island-esque). For entrees, the rib steak was tasty but not overly outstanding. The braised short rib was too dry, which is a shame! The sides were the most enjoyable - corn pudding (silky, luscious, sweet and slightly chunky with corn kernels), creamed spinach (correctly creamy and decadent), mac and cheese (mini macaronis that were cooked perfectly with the cheese sauce) and sauteed mushrooms were the most enjoyable. The parmesan fries were meh in my opinion, they were certainly crispy but somehow not truly the orgasmic experience I was anticipating based on what I've read from other reviews - I could've done without. Desserts were another disappointment. There was nothing that stood out that I can remember now. We paid $99 (tax and tips included) per person for 2 appetizer orders, 8 entrees, 6 sides, 1 bottle of wine, 4 coffees and 4 desserts, shared among 8 people. Overall, its a good spot if you plan to be in the area and want to have a steak experience. Definitely go with the side orders. But doubt I'll be coming back for a second try any time soon.
by Lorraine Kavanaugh on This place is AWESOME! I was there for a private company party and the service and amenities were excellent. It was super swanky inside and an overall good time. Unfortunately I cannot speak to the prices since it was all taken care of but if - and when - I go back to bowl independent of a holiday party, I will update the review. The food they served was actually pretty delicious and the private room was big and comfortable. There's a full bar and 4 private bowling lanes, as well as a lounge with comfy couches. The regular area was huge and sexy. It was crisp and clean looking. All in all, a really nice place.
by Julie C. on SF needs more good clubs like Harlot. This felt way more like Vegas or LA, than your typical SF night spot. I loved the decor and artwork, the crowd had very little cheese/cougar/b&t element, and the DJ played great music that had our group of 12 girls dancing for 3 hours straight. The sweet bouncer in the back took really good care of my friend who had one-too-many until we were ready to go. Tables are expensive on the weekends, but probably worth it not to wait in line. Go an enjoy it while it's still the hotest spot in town. p.s. thanks JS for the hookup
