Go to Alfred's quite a bit.
Also...don't ignore Harris' on Pacific and Van Ness. Great steaks and prime rib, too.

I love HOPR and have had a couple of good steaks at Alfred's.  On the other hand I went to Harris' for the first time last year, and it was so disappointing that I'll never go back.

But honestly, since we bought a sous vide machine, making a perfect steak is so easy and foolproof that I feel like a chump every time I go out to pay for one.  In fact we used it just last night with some meat from Costco.

You need an immersion circulator to sous vide Costco steaks because they are blade tenderized and not safe to eat at reasonable doneness if cooked conventionally.
