Epic Roasthouse, Fine Dining with a View in San Francisco, California
Ambiance at Epic Roasthouse
Epic Roasthouse is the “steakhouse” sister of the seafood restaurant, Waterbar, with both San Francisco restaurants being co-owned and designed by world renowned Pat Kuleto.
Pat Kuleto has designed and built more than 175 restaurants worldwide, including Martini House in St. Helena. He is the proprietor of his namesake Kuleto Estate Winery in the Napa Valley as well.
When you arrive at Epic the first thing you notice is its location on the waterfront, facing the Bay Bridge. It sits near the striking Cupid’s Span sculpture. As you walk inside, the tables in the large dining room are laid out for maximum viewing pleasure of the beautiful water and the Embarcadero.
This is the type of restaurant that gets lots of business dinners and special occasion dinners, so you will want to dress up some when you go. If you can arrange it, I suggest arriving early and going upstairs for a cocktail. There is a wonderful and cozy bar with intimate seating, beautiful dark wood details and more of that killer view. Their martinis aren’t so bad either.
Beautiful view of the Bay Bridge
When it is time to sit down for your dinner, I suggest ordering a bottle of fizzy carbonated water for the table. They have taken vintage glass water bottles and turned them into classic seltzer bottles (think Marx Brothers slapstick).
For meat lovers the Epic Prime Rib is out of this world and is offered until 8:00pm each night. I also love the Wood Oven Roasted Pork Porterhouse Chop, the glaze they use is divine. And definitely try the Scallop Potatoes Au Gratin as a side dish.
If you find yourself running behind schedule, this restaurant offers valet parking for $10 that is a bargain, for the location and convenience.

What is the price range at this restaurant and is it worth it?
I never knew that Pat Kuleto was so prolific! Wow! 175? But I’ve always enjoyed the restaurants I’ve been in. I’ll have to try Martini House. It’s close to home and I assume they make a fabulous martini.

Hi Patricia – When you add the aesthetics of the view, decor and the food together, it is definitely worth it. Depending on your meal, the price range could be about $60 a person, though likely more. I consider this a special occasion destination.

Well that’s worth it if only to get a cheap parking place along The Embarcadero. Put it all together and you have a value.
