    The steakhouse choice of FiDi worker bees, 5A5 delivers on the steak front. There's a Japanese bent here, in that the name originates from the five senses and A5 grade Japanese Wagyu. Read more

    The filet is the best, most inexpensive piece of meat I've ever tasted. Have had world class filets (kind of my thing) and this is awesome! Get with the blue cheese wedge salad for a perfect pairing.

    Among the best steak restaurants in SF, a decent wine list as well as a rather stylish interior make it different to the traditional steak houses

    The T-bone was a high quality meat, complimented with a sweet, hearty meat sauce and yolk. Iceberg was crispy and fresh. Fellow diner ordered the filet but didn't recommend it.

    Steaks are amazing, truffle fries to die for, bacon bread superb and service over the top...bathrooms a must see. We enjoyed the hell out off ourselves and had an 8 and 10 yr old in tow!!!!

    5 = 5 Senses, and A5 = Wagyu marbled beef from Japan. This is a modern, lively steak lounge with a celebrated bar scene. A touch of Vegas high-rolling, if you will.

    Try the lobster tempera and one of the A5 steaks. As long as you don't mind the expense. Overall a good restaurant to bring on a date.

    Server Ali is great - personable, knowledgeable, fun but not overbearing! A5 grade Wagyu is phenomenal! Also loved: hamachi shooters, truffled mac and cheese with lobster.

    There is a $475 wagu beef sampler on the menu. We split it w/ 8 people & I feel like we got our money's worth. Ask the waiter to show you the beef *before* it's cooked for a "Cuts o' Beef 101" lesson

    The lobster mac and cheese is sooooo delicious. Basically everything is good. The ribs and chips, the beet salad, the chard, the potatoes and bacon

    The atmosphere is great. The ribeye is definitely a house specialty, and the portion is decent. Clam chowder was a bit salty for my liking, but their dessert is amazing.

    The regular steaks are great. The fancy Kobe is a nice treat but the cheaper steaks are a great value.

    Steak was good, albeit a little undercooked. Mac and cheese was delicious and so was the bacon bread.

    Hamachi Shooters! and of course the steak. However, if you plan on having a cheat night, order the bread pudding than contact me for personal Training at www.personaltrainingSF.com ;)

    The is the type of steak house that serves glasses of wine from the night before (stores by barely corking). Bartender refused to pour from new bottle.
