Description

Leatherneck Steakhouse may be the lowest-profile of this city's steakhouses, mostly patronized by tourists and members of the Marines Memorial Club. But a reservation -- not to mention a collared shirt and proper pants -- is required to eat there. It's a quirky place, where the salt shakers have bulldogs etched in them and military cartoons are tacked up above the urinals. The restaurant's classic American menu of chops, steaks, and fish is much more accomplished than you'd expect, ornamented with touches like homemade truffled tater tots and beef shortribs cooked sous-vide. Just as importantly, the dining room looks out onto a Superman view of the Financial District and the bay beyond.
