" Many found the "sides and desserts" equally amazing, praising the melt-in-your-mouth richness and perfectly cooked dishes. However, its not all perfect. A few of the 11 negative comments pointed to concerns about portions and quantity, with some finding the mash potato and corn side disappointingly small.
While the flavors are generally celebrated, some felt certain items like Meat skweres were too small or that the corn was too liquid, suggesting there's room to refine side dish offerings and portion sizes.

- horseradish mashed potatoesWe anticipated the massive 2. 5-pound monster porterhouse with roasted bone marrow, wild mushrooms with a barely poached egg, the creamiest horseradish mashed potatoes, and the milk buns.

Unique Atmosphere, Fantastic Service, Tasty Food
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The unique decor and atmosphere made it feel like a mix between a club and a destination place. The service was fantastic, with staff who were friendly and engaging.
While the food was a bit pricey, everything was well-cooked, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I particularly enjoyed the steak, which was perfectly cooked and very tasty, along with the sides of mashed potatoes, brussels sprouts, and beets. The cocktails were also very nice, though the Old Fashioned was a bit strong.

Unique Steakhouse Experience with Japanese Flair
When friends visiting from Serbia wanted to go to a steakhouse in San Francisco, I was initially apprehensive. However, after researching, I discovered Superprime and knew it was something unique. The host stand featured two turntables spinning amazing jazz, and the bar was dominated by Japanese whiskeys.
The aroma of deliciousness filled the room. We settled at the bar, enjoying a Japanese whiskey aged in an IPA barrel while conversing with the knowledgeable bartender. We anticipated the massive 2.
5-pound monster porterhouse with roasted bone marrow, wild mushrooms with a barely poached egg, the creamiest horseradish mashed potatoes, and the milk buns. Given Serbia's meat-dominated cuisine, which largely features pork, my friends had never experienced beef showcased well. Their reactions to the dry-aged deliciousness were unforgettable.
I'm already looking forward to returning to this fabulous restaurant.

Overpriced with Tiny Portions
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing due to the overpriced menu and tiny portions. Even the side dishes, like the mash potato and corn, were served in small dishes. The meat skewers were also really small, and the final bill was unbelievably expensive.
While the food itself was good, it was not worth the $700 (after tip) we paid for two people. We will not be returning.

Top Notch Experience with Great Food and Service
I visited this restaurant with a friend, and our experience was top notch. The service was amazing; we were taken care of by Fabian, a very fun guy who made some great recommendations. We started with the king crab, scallop skewer, and yellowfin sashimi.
For me, the scallop was the winner – it was so tender with a nice smokey flavor, but I would happily order any of the dishes again. For mains and sides, we opted for the dry-aged bone-in New York strip and the bone-in ribeye. I'm actually not sure which of these I liked more; each time I thought I'd figured out my favorite, the next bite of the other changed my mind.
A must-get side is the wild mushrooms with a poached egg.
