Excellent food but very noisy. My baked potato was almost cold but the steak was perfectly cooked.

Our waiter was not a happy guy today. My baked potato was not hot,In a steak house, why must you ask for steak sauce!!

Old school steak house bar and restaurant. Great food, great prime rib, and Australian lobster tail. The atmosphere is classic. Plus, they have karaoke night! Can't go wrong. Must have reservations.

Wonderful atmosphere and insanely good steak! I recommend the ribeye with baked potato and chocolate cake or carrot cake..bartender and staff are like family to you. The red elegant leather booths are so huge and Sinatra-like. The bar is my favorite to eat at. Like stepping back in time to a more relaxed vibe. This place is so welcoming and warm! The steak, my god the steak! So good you will eat the fat and lick the plate! Great bar and easy to get lost in here talking to just about anyone! Highly recommend.

We started with a dirty vodka martini in celebration of our anniversary. There was no skipping on the vodka in that drink! Delicious meal. I had the filet and my boyfriend had the rib-eye. Both were cooked to perfection. The salad was just lettuce with a slice of tomato but the dressings were delicious. I had balsamic & my boyfriend had ranch. We shared a piece of cheesecake for dessert. No plate during this meal was left unclean. They almost looked licked clean. The meal was that good!

Place is very dated and not in a charming way. The food is average and does not deserve the title of having great steaks. Just an average place..nothing special.

Awesome quality and charming old school feel we’ll be back for sure! 😍

Great local spot with a heavy rotation of regular customers. Good beer, great servers, and I was quite happy with my Spaghetti and Meatballs with the garlic toast. I wasn’t feeling steak when I sat down, but the guy next to me ordered it, and it looked and smelled delicious! The bread and butter they give you is a meal in itself. Looking forward to my next visit!

We found The San Franciscan on a google search for restaurants in our area while visiting on vacation. This place was absolutely wonderful and quirky just our thing for sure. Step inside this place and feels like your back in the 1970s. Awesome feeling like kind of retro with the wood paneling and red booths. Prime Rib was most definitely top notch of all! Yummy Free parking in back, nearby major roads as well in Torrance. Reasonable prices on everything! I cant wait to return and eat some of their steak!
There isn't a lot to say other than...this place does fantastically phenomenal prime rib. This is a true hidden gem in Torrance on Sepulveda Blvd. and even thought they have plenty of steak options on the menu, I recommend their prime rib. It is absolutely divine - in fact so divine that I ended up dining there 4 times during my 3 week business trip in Torrance. If you like prime rib, you will not regret it. The staff is very courteous and attentive and on one occasion they even opened up a different section of the restaurant to accommodate our large group. Highly recommended!

The best prime rib my family has ever had! Every year they continue to top themselves ❤️ we have been eating here for years and are spoiled at the quality of their food. You would probably not dine here by the looks of the outside of the restaurant and that would be a shame because you’d be missing out on a truly amazing dining experience.

The San Franciscan is a nice surprise! From the outside, it looks like a big house. From the inside, it resembles a local pub. But, the food is excellent and that is the surprise - don't let the decor fool you! Hubby had the prime rib- 5 stars! I had the broiled/grilled shrimp- I would give it 4 stars. The salad and baked potato were both good. The service was attentive and fairly FAST. This is a family-friendly restaurant that looks to be accessible to people with a wheelchair.
