Anyone Eat at JOHN'S GRILL (SF Restaurant)?

The threads about the Maltese Falcon reminded me of this famous SF eatery! I’m planning a trip to SF in September, and I’d like to know if this restaurant is worth a visit. Hammett mentions it as Sam Spade’s favorite hangout, and Hammett himself used to eat there. is the place any good?

It’s OK. You would be going strictly for the atmosphere / history and not so much for the food. Steaks are decent, not memorable. The place is noisy and busy but the service is excellent. I haven’t been back - if I’m in that area to eat I much prefer the Tadich.

What Dooku said. And bring a big wallet, or some plastic. Both places are a little pricey.
