We loved everything about John's Grill, San Francisco! We started with clam chowder and Ceasar salad, we ordered the Beef Medallions, Broiled Salmon, and the Fisherman's Pasta, which were all incredible. We also loved the sourdough bread starter and the Handmade Vanilla Bean ice cream. The service and atmosphere are excellent. This restaurant is historic, nostalgic, and has been here since 1908, and has served many famous people! I highly recommend experiencing a piece of history in San Francisico.

John’s is the best! The staff is fantastic and the food is delicious. I have been coming here for years and it’s maintained consistency. Decided to review after all this time as a thank you, the host gifted me a John’s Christmas ornament and it just made my whole week. Thank you for being the best in sf!

Nice restaurant with long history. We had been told this restaurant is a must if you are in the Union Square area. The food was good, the atmosphere as well. However, our stake was not cooked as asked, and we were completely ignored when we stated that. However, I get that the place is always crowded, and they might be overwhelmed with the amount of work.

Awesome spot to treat a colleague. Not far from Moscone and so much better than lining up 60 deep for fast food at lunchtime!
It’s Chanukah! So I have to get fries. Theirs are nearly miraculously good and crunchy.

Went here with a party of 6 for a company dinner. This place screams ‘old school’ vibes - and it was packed. We had a variety of salads, steaks and desserts. Everything was delicious. Steaks cooked and seasoned well, Caesar salad was especially good, and prawn cocktail came with awesome horseradish for the cocktail sauce. Service was very attentive, despite being so busy. Everyone agreed it was a great experience. Would definitely return!

It's such an older place, but so cute, romantic, fancy cozy place with 3 floors to choose where to sit. I've been here way to many times these past two months. My go to entree is the tortellini! Yum!!!! And the shrimp, any plate, is good as well.

Lovely food. No waiting area though if you arrive early so don't arrive too early.

The ambiance, food, and service were so good we went back on the second day. Ana, our server was super professional yet friendly and attentive. Ask for her! The place oozes charm and history. The cherry on top is that the food was amazing! Not to mention that the location is super convenient to everything. Do yourself a favor, don't miss this San Francisco gem!

Servers were friendly.
I ordered the steak as medium-rare and it was delicious.
There were mushrooms, selmons and trout in the pasta. It was great as well.
I ate the second floor and it smelled funny from the wall I guess.

11/2023: Fantastic spot for a meal. Multiple floors with plenty of space, well decorated, and service is top notch. Bit pricey but seems well worth it! Food was fast and tasted great, and servers were just on it. Great spot, and highly recommend.
