Adorable old school spot. Prime rib was the star!! Prices are fair and service was great. Blue cheese olive martini (Brazen Head Martini) so bomb

Lovely atmosphere and service. The food is excellent and very high class. The dining area is a little tight, but it's very nice and cozy with all the art. A great spot for a date or a family dinner!

This place is amazing! Great price for a delectable filet mignon. Save room for the fallen angel torte, a must have for chocolate aficionados. Even the coffee is incredible !

The Brazen Head was first introduced to me by a male friend who lived nearby. Despite his preference for upscale places, I was surprised when he suggested we dine at the pub for our late dinner date. Upon entering, I understood his fondness for the place. It exuded an old-school charm and a hint of dark allure, perfect for a post-dinner engagement or nightcap. The bartenders were excellent, crafting superb Vesper martinis. The menu's standout item was the delicious prime rib sliders. It's a local hangout known for its cool, chic, and worldly atmosphere. The diverse crowd of locals and tourists, adds to its appeal.

It can get loud, and you might catch yourself shoulder to shoulder with other patrons on a Friday night, but it's worth it. Once, a place where restaurant workers would go to after their shift. Now, it's where many of the cities young set meet for a wonderful martini and steak. It's low lit and has a romance that can bring you back in time. May it never change.

Had dinner here for date night. It's dark but cozy and gives off old school vibes. We ordered escargot to try and they were super tasty! For my dinner, I got the NY pepper steak and enjoyed it. Even though the bar looks amazing, their cocktails are not great. I got a $12 whiskey sour that tasted like a $5 dive bar drink. Maybe I'll have to try a different cocktail next time or maybe I'll just stick to wine. Service was good but the tip recommendation was a bit ridiculous - something like 20%, 30%, and 40%. Overall, we enjoyed date night here.

I really wanted a place to have a good ol fashioned steak and potatoes meal that didn't look like an iPhone store and filled with stuffy people, and boy did they deliver! My steak was perfectly cooked, the onion soup was insane and the …

Food isn’t bad but overpriced for what you get. I ordered food to go and left a heavy tip my friend decided to order food to go too and the host was extremely rude to us. Definitely won’t spend my money there again.

This is one of the best local steakhouses in sf. Came here for my birthday dinner and seriously had one of the best meals of my life. Pepper steak is incredible. Bread was amazing. Cocktails super strong and good.
