Steak your claim on this luxurious dining spot!🌟 Izzy’s on the Peninsula just swung its doors open post-renovation, and with a menu that tantalizes and service that wows, this spot is a must-visit! Start off with a celebratory bubbly with crispy calamari and drunken prawns that set the stage for the feast to follow. 🦐 And let’s talk about a variety of steaks, especially their special prime rib “The Gomez” - a 10 oz prime rib masterpiece accompanied by creamed spinach and potatoes, a true testament to steakhouse excellence. You have to try this! Pair your meal with their selection of drinks. I got The Notable Harlots cocktail 🍹 a symphony of vodka, vanilla, passion fruit, and rose - a drink that’s as memorable as its name. Lastly, save room for dessert because their Glazed Crullers are the grand finale you don’t want to miss - made to order and utterly divine. 🍩 For an evening that’s sure to impress, book your table at Izzy’s on the Peninsula. Whether it’s a special date night or a celebration, this spot promises an experience to remember. 📍Izzy’s on the Peninsula @izzysonthepeninsula 525 Skyway Road, San Carlos Wearing @lovebonitousa Jacinta Tweed Button Front Jacket #sancarlosca #sancarloscalifornia #sanmateo #sanmateocounty #sanmateoeats #bayareafoodie #bayareafoodies #bayareaeats #sffood #steaklover #exploresf #bayarearestaurants #sffoodie #sfeats #eatwithme #sanfranciscofood #sanfranciscotrip #steakhouse

Was very pleased with my first and only experience at Izzy’s Peninsula. Has been wanting to go there for some time, and when I heard they were closing down the location, I made my reservation right away. Was pleased with the ambiance and the service. Food was extremely good and well prepared. Price point was exceptional in comparison to other steakhouses. I will be booking future reservations at the other location they have in San Francisco to try it again.

I asked for a roomy table. They put us in a tiny booth in the bar area next to an open door. We were almost outside. I complained and they moved us. The view was junk on the patio.

Upon receiving recommendations from several individuals, we decided to dine at Izzy’s, a renowned restaurant situated in the Redwood City vicinity. During our work trip, we intended to celebrate our anniversary at this establishment. However, our experience was marred by several shortcomings. Firstly, the server was overwhelmed by the number of tables, resulting in inadequate attention to our needs. Secondly, the ambiance failed to align with the concept of “smart casual,” as the tables were positioned too closely together. While the food was satisfactory, the steaks and sides could have benefited from additional seasoning. In light of these observations, we have resolved to opt for alternative dining options during future visits, such as Morton’s or Miller & Lux, located in the downtown area.

Hadn't been to Izzy's in years. After the wonderful dinner we experienced last night, I feel that missed out on an incredible dining experience for way too many years! I'll be returning soon.

Food is very good here, it’s too bad they can’t get their service straight. Long wait for drinks and food. No salt and pepper. No ketchup with fries. No sugar with coffee. Asked for each of these things and it took multiple requests from multiple service providers to get them. They had to re-make cappuccino, as it was cold by the time the 3rd request for sugar was delivered.

We had only been here once before about 10 years ago. Wow! It was just fine back then, but it is truly incredible now. Every single detail was amazing from the bread service to the appetizers to the drinks and entrees. I’m mostly pescatarian but make occasional exceptions for a really good steak, and the New York strip was absolute perfection!
