Enjoyed our evening. We enjoyed our experience last week. The service was excellent, and the employees were very attentive and personable. Our steak was cooked as requested. The sides and appetizers were very good, and minor requests were accomodated graciously. The "fiesta" was happening in San Antonio at the time, and we were very pleased to be away from the crowd. The quality and preparation of food compared to the price was consistent with similar values in our home market.

mediocre food for an expensive price. My companion and I were disappointed with the food. My $38 steak was just OK and my companion's fish had a stong fishy taste and was hard. The cheese was good as was the service. At $14 a gkass, the wine was grossly overpriced. The show and piano player/singer was very good. If we go back, we will stick to the lower priced dishes as the high end items are not worth the price.

Warning>>> do not eat here!!. Sorry folks but this place needs to keep the doors closed. The service was very good but the food was less than average.The steak was not tender and lacked flavor. The baked potato was not done all the way.Now I know why the parking lot was empty.

To top it off when we get the bill (just two of us) they decided to add the TIP. Well where I come from the TIP is base on service.We talked to the assistant manager( he was great) and retrieved the manager( the cook) and the cook didn't really care to here about what we were saying.

WE WILL NEVER GO BACK !!!!

I don't even want to rate this but I have to so I can post this!!!

Not Worth It..... Went to Old Sanfrancisco for our 30th anniversary. The empty parking lot on a Saturday night was our first sign not to eat here. This place was dead and boring and had an awful smell. Food was OK but not worth 100 bucks. Not expecting the forgetful waitress to add in a hudge tip for a party of 2. This place will not be open long.

What a change!. I hadn't been to OSF in around 3 years or so. The last time I went, the food was so-so and overpriced. I saw that it had re-opened and my wife and I decided to give it another chance. It was a favorite place of mine in the 90's, and deserved a second chance. Wow! What a difference an owner makes! The food was incredible and the service was some of the best I've EVER had! (Thanks, Tony...) If you've ever been a fan of OSF, go back. You won't be disappointed!

GREAT DINING OFF THE RIVERWALK. My wife and I were visiting San Antonio this week and after dining 4 days at Riverwalk restaurants we wanted a change of pace and San Francisco Steakhouse provided great fun and fine dining in a friendly informal atmosphere.

Under new management with a friendly helpful staff, the dininng experience was great fun from the pretty young lady swinging in the air in the red velvet swing, good music, plentiful drinks and the finest steaks to the swiss cheese wedge was awesome, too.

What a Blessing!. I am from Houston TX and had business in San Antonio this weekend. Well we were looking for a place to eat and just for fun I said "lets google The Old San Francisco Steak House, maybe they might have 1 open, yeah right we all said". However, to our suprise we saw it on google so I called and sure enough it was open. We made our way to the restaraunt and were greeted and seated immediately. Our server was wonderful and the food and presentation of our platers were wonderful. We were so impresed with the food that we wanted to speak with the chef to give him Kudos for a job well done. He was not available to speak with us so the waiter brought the owner to our table. We spoke with her and she immediately made us feel welcomed. She told us her story of how she was Blessed with the restaurant and the story of the cheese which was hillarious (Cheese police). All in all this was a wonderful dining experience and I would definitely give it 5 stars. We will be back real soon just to eat at this restaurant. Also, there was a wedding going on in the banquet room which was beautiful. I would recommend this restaurant to all who live in San Antonio and from far away. May God bless Mrs. Esparza, her family and all her wonderful staff.

Thanks for a great dining experience, see you all soon!!

Best Dinning Experience In A Long Time.. My family and I were in San Antonio for the weekend. While on our visit we were deciding on a place for dinner. In conversation the Old San Francisco Steakhouse was brought up. Knowing that the franchise had been closed down we googled it anyway. Much to our amazement there was a location in San Antonio that was open for business. Upon are arrival we were greeted at the door and shown to a table promptly. The waiter attended to us immediately. The supporting wait staff brought us are 10lb block of cheese and freshly baked bread. Our drink and salads were brought to us in a timely manner as was our choices for the main course. Drinks were refilled without us having to ask and a request for a non menu item was promptly filled. In all this is one of the best, if not the best dinning experiences I’ve ever had. The food was delicious and the presentation was excellent. After our dinner we wanted to give our compliments to the chef. We were informed that he was extremely busy and would try to come to our table. The waiter asked if we would like to speak to the owner, much to our delight it was a pleasure meeting her. We expressed to her what a wonderful dinner we had. She went on to tell us about how she purchased the franchise and all the obstacles she faced in reopening the restaurant. She mentioned to us how her hard work, determination, and faith in God made it all possible. My family and I would like to commend Veronica Esparza and all her staff for a job superbly well done. May God continue to bless you and your family and all of your employees.

Great food..... My daughter worked her last 2 years of high school and 3 years of college at the steak house in Dallas. She was a swinger and hostess and was a secertary in the main office during her summer breaks for one of the owners and enjoyed all. Her pay and tips were very generous and they also paid for her books for one semester in college.

My husband and I were in San Antonio during spring break '09 and chose to go to the steak house there since the one in Dallas is no longer open. Our wait was about 30 mins. due to a wedding reception going on but the wait was well worth the time. When we were seated we immediately was treated with the block of swiss cheese and freash hot bread w/butter. Our waiter was great. He brought our salads and OH MY they were out of this world. I would love to know what the croutons were made of. Had to wait a while for our steaks but they were well worth it too. So tender and very tasteful. All in all....all was very good and sad that we no longer have a steak house in the Dallas , Ft Worth area anymore.

Everyone in the resturant was very friendly and to our surprise the owner made several passes to check on us. She informed us she was the new owner and I have to say that hopefully more will go to the steak house and see my review is correct.

Thanks again,OSFSH for a wonderful evening full of memories of our past times at the OSFSH in Dallas. And if you ever want to open one up in Ft Worth should be well worth your time to check it out. Nothing like OSFSH in our area at all and with the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium opening up I know people will be going to Cowtown (FT WORTH) for a visit and a wonderful steak!
