This is a late review when the restaurant only had outdoor dining. The experience was wonderful and the food was really good too. Definitely a place to have dinner when in town.

Very good steakhouse. The steaks were very good and tasty, we had some good wine also. The service was really nice. One of the best meal I had during my time in SF.

I was here today because my English name is John. But after I was in the restaurant, I realized it is historical restaurant. From these photos on the walls, you can imagine how many stories they had. The service was super. I found my favorite Escargots here. Usually only French restaurant has it. It tasted very close to these I had in France. Excellent! The New England clam chowder was also delicious and I highly recommend it too. I also like their house drink Bloody Brigid. I was surprised to know they even gave me the glass back as a souvenir.

Great food! Awesome staff! We were seated outside per our request, and the waiter turned on the heater for us. John’s is close to the cable car drop-off/pick-up and a few blocks away from Union Square. Try the escargot or salmon with a cherry coke and a smile! 😎

What famous people dined at Johns Grill? We are there twice and everything was excellent.

Nancy Pelosi and Bernie Sanders have dined there. Apparently Bernie was a bit cranky, and lost the owners vote. I bet he also uninvited him to his birthday party. Sissy.

There is a 3rd floor, but no rooftop. You can sit outside pretty comfortably though.

No. You can dress as nice or casual as you want. I don't recommend sweats.

Is there parking

Contrary to the previous answer, you cannot take Caltrain directly there. You could take a Caltrain to the San Francisco station and then take the MUNI (N- Line). It's a half block from the Powell Street Station. That's how I get there. I would recommend leaving the car at home, not necessarily because of parking but because of the specific area where the restaurant is located. It's a mess right there, lots of pedestrians, lots of tourists, lots of delivery trucks. It's stressful.

Nope. I wore jeans and an untucked dress shirt with a sport coat and was a little overdressed.
