    We had a great time celebrating our anniversary at Epic steak! The ambience, the food, the service, the overall experience was superb! Even though the restaurant was full but the noise level was not an issue. Me and my husband was still able to have a conversation and an intimate time. Great for date night but also awesome for group dining. The view of the Bay Bridge was just spectacular especially in the evening. The price was typical for SF steakhouse. We definitely recommend Epic steak and we’ll sure be back.
