Bobos is the spot in SF if you want some really great food that comes out looking and tasting perfect! From appetizers to dessert, you will not be disappointed. We had their steaks, seafood, drinks, desserts, and appetizers. (Not all pictured as we got into eating and forgot photos sometimes) The restaurant has great decoration, the staff were extremely friendly and on point with everything (never saw a glass empty), and the presentation is a work of art. They do accept reservations over the phone or through their website. You may get a spot on a walk in, but I'd be safe and reserve if you can. Definitely add this place to your list of must eats.

Really wonderful dining experience with the most attentive service. Amazing steak. Somehow surprisingly amazing Mac & cheese. The lobster tails were delicious. We never had an empty water glass. The food came out at a great pace. If one is looking for a boozy seafood, steak dinner with service fit for a prince go to Bobo's.

The steak was perfect and delicious, as was the pasta. The 3 lbs of crab at $150 was a huge letdown, zero flavor, and it definitely was not 3 lbs worth of crab. The giant lobster tail was bland. The vanilla gelato desert was delicious. The atmosphere was perfect, quiet, and welcoming. The staff is extremely polite and helpful. I would certainly go back for the steak and pasta.

I haven't been here in years. I'm glad they still have great food and service.

I thought the food was delicious. However the website says corkage fee 25. I thought cool. Brought a very nice bottle to enjoy a b day and nye dinner. The bartender told me “oh no corkage is 30. “ once we sat down for dinner got settled now the waiter tells me “the corkage for our bottle 35.” If this is the route you are going to take make sure you show them website 25. Cork fee. I did not do that. After the fact I wished I had.

The humble macaroni and cheese side is one of the greatest steak house sides around, while there are very good cuts of dry aged beef and (usually - got a dry, bad one recently) excellent Dungeness crab. Restaurant is a bit too cozy/tight - get ready to be an unwilling participant in neighboring conversations:)

Had an awesome meal at Bobo's on Lumbart in SF! The place is like stepping into an old circus, super unique vibe. Ordered the bone-in New York and man, it was so good with this nice char. Meat was tender, cooked perfectly. This place deserves all 5 stars. Highly recommend! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
