Fodor's Expert Review Niku Steakhouse

Dinner
The idea of a chic, contemporary steak house didn't really exist in San Francisco before this runaway favorite opened by the Design District's traffic circle. It's one of two high-end restaurants for the popular Omakase Group (the other being nearby luxury sushi bar Omakase), and perfectly balances a menu of creative small plates and flame-kissed mains. The one downside is that none of the steaks are south of $100. But if you're going to splurge on A5 Wagyu beef, this is the place to do it.
