John's Grill, San Francisco

This historic restaurant has been serving loyal patrons and celebrities alike since 1908. Deeply rooted in San Francisco history, it holds a position in literary history as well. Writer Dashiell Hammett often visited the dark-panelled restaurant with white linen tablecloths and mentioned it in his novel 'The Maltese Falcon'. Sam Spade ordered the chops. Try one of the dishes featured in 'Gourmet Magazine' such as Chicken Jerusalem or Oyster Wellington. The wine list, featuring California selections, is serviceable with a good bottle. In addition, there is nightly jazz music.
