“ tl;dr Come for the Sunday Slab and Cab meal! Probably the best prime rib special in the Bay Area ($50). Free WiFi and large parking lot. Food (5/5): Everything was solid from the salads, entrees and dessert! Caesar salad: You can tell that the ingredients are made in-house, from the dressing to the lettuce/anchovies preparation. Smash burger: the caramelized onions and patties were cooked well. The fries were again MVP and came out super crispy. Slab and cab Sunday special: do yourself a favor and make sure to come on a Sunday and grab this for yourself. For $50, you get a salad, prime rib, and crullers. The prime rib is only slightly smaller than the standard version (8 verses 10 oz), but it's cheaper and comes with the other items. Cooked at medium rare, it was delicious as well as the cream, spinach and scalloped potatoes. I wasn't expecting to like the crullers, as I was thinking they were just fancier donuts, but I was so wrong. These came out nice and hot, and the texture was eggy and fluffy with a hint of vanilla. It was a great way to end the meal! [Note: although it's on the menu online, they don't publicly advertise this at the actual restaurant itself] Areas of improvement: - We sat in the small dining area to the right of entrance. Quieter, but felt quite neglected. - There were three tables and on 3 separate occasions, the servers didn't know which tables the food was for. - Pacing of the meal. Halfway through our entree, they brought out our dessert, which was a bit unexpected. Overall, after a bit of a letdown at our last experience, Izzy's redeemed itself again! If they improve a couple things on the service side, it could become one of the best restaurants in the Bay Area! ”

“ 2 years later we return. My NY steak was perfection tonight! Service was great! We are thrilled to say Izzy's had gained us back as customers! ”

“ Gathered there with a few close friends for my birthday. This used to be a tradition before the place closed for renovations. It looks and feels amazing now. Granted it was a Monday so it was rather slow, but the staff was very attentive and the service was perfect. The menu has undergone sone changes; dishes that used to be standard sides are now a la cart, so it's a bit pricier now. And my favorite appetizer, the steamed mussels are different. But still good. And they still know how to cook a ribeye. ”

“ Looks great after the remodel. You now have to pay for sides though, and bread. But they cooked our ribeye perfectly! Service was great. ”

“ This was a little different Thanksgiving for our family. My newlywed daughter drove to SoCal with my new son-in-law to spend the holiday with his folks. That's OK... they'll be with us on Christmas. So, my wife made reservations for three at Izzy's on the Peninsula. My wife, my son and I were at the front door when Izzy's opened at 2 pm on Thanksgiving Day. My wife and I had patronized Izzy's many moons ago, and it was always IMO a restaurant that served excellent steak dinners. The restaurant has been recently renovated, and it re-opened earlier this year. The transformation is truly remarkable. The original restaurant interior was dark and divided into sections that made the dining area seem small. The remodel has opened up the dining room and the bar has been made more accessible... tremendous improvements. On this Thanksgiving, the restaurant featured its regular menu with one special... a turkey dinner. My wife requested a couple of appetizers, but my son ordered the special. The meal looked and tasted delicious according to my son. The turkey breast portion was very generous, and he took some home for a sandwich later. What would Thanksgiving be without leftovers? I ordered the steak au poivre. It is Izzy's 14-oz. New York strip prepared with a creamy pan sauce seasoned with peppercorns. The steak was tender and flavorful... and the sauce made this entree a little festive. The steak comes à la carte. I ordered two side dishes: Izzy's Own Potatoes and the demi-glace mushrooms. Exquisite. The potatoes were layered like scalloped potatoes and topped with a cheesy crust. The mushrooms, bathed in a delicate French cuisine sauce, were a perfect companion for the steak au poivre. There were no leftovers. A word about the service. Diego served our meals. He was very personable and attentive. Outstanding. Diego made our dining experience a memorable one. If you get a chance to dine at Izzy's on the Peninsula, definitely ask to be seated in Diego's section. ”

“ First time trying Izzy's and I'm not sure why the ratings are kind of low for this place? I had an awesome experience. I believe the restaurant was recently renovated. The interior is spacious and has modern finishes to it. I love that Izzy's is very detailed with their finishing touches. Small things go a long way. For example, the napkins in the bathroom are super thick. The bathroom is clean and has a scented candle lit to keep things smelling fresh. Service was great. Surprised it wasn't busy but probably because it was a Monday night. Espresso martini was tasty Hate when places pull shortcuts and use cold brew but I'm glad to see Izzy's using actual espresso. Caesar salad and the bread were solid appetizers. Calamari was unique as it came with some veggies? Threw me off at initially but it ended up working well together. My entree was the Marinated Skirt Steak & Fries. Steak was cooked perfectly to my liking. Not sure what it was marinated with but it was delicious! Overall great service and a great experience and I think they did an AMAZING job with the renovation. The inside is beautiful. Will definitely be back. I'm looking forward to the S.F. location reopening as well! ”

“ We were invited back to dine again after a not so great experience during our first visit on our anniversary. We had a much better experience this visit and enjoyed a delicious meal! The steaks were cooked to perfection, they have house made steak sauce that is similar to H-57 sauce. The Caesar salad was freshly made with added anchovies and fresh Parmesan cheese. Dressing was spot on with flavor. The baked potatoes could have been cooked a tad bit longer but was with the loaded toppings it was a good side option. Celebrated a birthday and received a tiny piece of cake hardly enough for one person to have a couple bites. It was a nice gesture regardless. If we are looking for a great steak, we will be back to Izzy's! ”
