Splashy New Bar and Restaurant Holbrook House Opens In Downtown SF Next Week With Martini and Champagne Call Buttons
Table Of Content
These are meant to be like quick-service call buttons for these items — they each turn on a different light that summons either the Champagne cart, or the Martini cart, which will come to you for tableside service. It sounds like no one will be asking "gin or vodka?" though, because the cart will just be offering a selection of gins and vermouths, as well as garnishes — which is how it should be. We’re a nonprofit community benefit district working to enhance the downtown core, the traditional Financial District and historic Jackson Square through public/private partnerships, placemaking, activating the public realm, clean and safe operations, marketing support and more. We are the catalyst in building a vibrant community where business gets done, where people come to explore, where everyone feels welcome and memories are made. The ground-floor bar and restaurant is led by Philip Siegel, a veteran of the Julia Morgan Ballroom and the Merchants Exchange Club. The unusual design feature is among the five-star guest amenities built to match the grandeur of the expansive hall built to house a bank at 1 Sansome St. back in 1910.

Lunch, however, is where the more luxe dishes start to come into play, leading into the afternoon. There will be staples, of course, such as four different kinds of salads, four sandwiches, a double patty pork-and-beef burger, and a fried chicken sandwich with kohlrabi slaw on a brioche bun. Larger format dishes will be rotating, but expect items like a Petrale sole or mussels with sungold tomatoes, fennel, white wine, and basil, Stevens says. On the fancier side of things, lunch is where oyster and caviar service begins, with caviar served with deviled quail eggs and duck-fat fried hash browns, rather than the more traditional blini. Crowned by a soaring glass atrium that floods the fully unobstructed 8,100 square feet of primary space with natural light, The Conservatory offers a one-of-a-kind guest experience for the most exclusive weddings, corporate events, nonprofit galas and fundraisers.

Its latest transformation includes an oval-shaped bar, forest green old-fashioned barbershop-style chairs and lots of brass. Besides caviar, expect options such as escargot and a fun “french-fry flight” featuring sweet potato fries and two styles of potato-based fries cut in different ways, served with aioli. The skylighted "conservatory" area just beyond the restaurant can also be transformed into an event space with a capacity of 2,000, and the team says they already have some bookings this fall. The restaurant has been incorporated into the grand "conservatory" of One Sansome, in the 1910 neo-classical building that was originally home to Anglo & London Paris National Bank, and later Crocker National Bank.

The food menu, which will have options from morning to midnight, was created by chef Holly Stevens, a veteran of the kitchens of Aziza, Michael Mina, and Delfina. Seasonal toasts on Josey Baker bread will be part of the morning offerings along with egg dishes and Craftsman & Wolves pastries. Lunch will include a pork-and-beef burger, a fried chicken sandwich, as well as oyster and caviar service that will extend into the evening. Events in the Conservatory’s graceful atrium put guests at the center of it all, in what feels like an elegant outdoor agora, bathed in sunlight yet protected from the elements by sparkling glass above.
The restaurant is part of a $23 million makeover of the lobby at One Sansome that transforms the conservatory into a space that’s open to the public during the day, with the ability to pivot to private events such as weddings and fundraisers. It’s an addition to the bar, inspired by the grand hotels of Europe, says general manager and beverage director Hernan Martinez. The cleverness is fueled even further by the addition of two light switches available at the booths — the flip of one designated switch will turn on a light meant to summon a Champagne cart to your tableside. There are seven different Champagne and sparkling wine options by the glass, four available half-bottles, and a list of 30 producers for the full Champagne menu, Martinez says. For those deciding to flip on the martini switch, there will be a selection of gins and vermouths, a rotating cast of bitters, and house-made garnishes where visitors can pick and choose their accoutrements, or go with the bar’s classic and not-so-classic martinis on offer.

It's part of a $23 million renovation that began last year on this and the 42-story Citibank tower next door. Holbrook House, which we first caught wind of in May of last year, is one of several splashy openings in SF's still beleaguered downtown, with several bar owners and restaurateurs betting big that the area is going to be on the upswing soon. Located in the heart of the San Francisco Financial District within The Conservatory at One Sansome, Holbrook House serves California cuisine that celebrates local and seasonal ingredients. Observers hope it heralds a new era of elegance for the city’s beleaguered Financial District, as Downtown San Francisco strives to cement itself as a high-end nightlife destination, with openings of new venues, including the Dawn Club, Felix and Bar Sprezzatura.

Standing for generations as the nerve center of the San Francisco Financial District, The Conservatory's graceful architecture - punctuated by granite-clad 38-foot Doric columns - and unique indoor/outdoor nature makes the venue one of the City's most coveted gathering spaces. Boasting a standing capacity of more than 2,000 guests, on site-access to BART and Muni, and its position just four blocks from Moscone Center, no other San Francisco event facility is so uniquely prepared to host the most complex and important events. The Conservatory is also the home to the sumptuous and buzzy Holbrook House bar and restaurant, a triumph of design that burst onto the scene in 2023 to universal acclaim.

Martinez says head bartender Simone Mims, who’s previously worked at Palette, Foreign Cinema, and Blackbird, has had an impact on the cocktail menu, which will have 16 drinks to start, beyond the aforementioned martinis. The cocktails will be a play on classic drinks such as the Key, which incorporates cognac and scotch, together with Strega, an amaro, and orange bitters, meant to be a play between a Manhattan and a negroni. Off the cocktail menu, there will be a mix of wine options, from well-known producers like Matthiasson Wines to up-and-coming wineries or natural winemakers like Jolie-Laide, with bottles that start in the $40 range, and glasses that start at $12. There will be a rotating beer tap of local brands such as Fort Point Beer Company, Original Pattern Brewing, and more, as well as a Mims Cup, a play on Mims’ name and the Pimms cup, made with Pimm, strawberry, cucumber, and ginger ale, also served on tap. There are also some nonalcoholic drink options, featuring house-made infusions that will be made throughout the year, such as a tea infusion and a hibiscus infusion for drinks.
With over 20 years in the culinary industry, Holly stands at the forefront of Culinary Services at Holbrook House, the Conservatory, and One Sansome. A San Francisco native, Holly's passion for the culinary arts was ignited early, driving her to master her skills at the renowned California Culinary Academy. Her journey saw her at the helm in James Beard award-winning restaurants and Michelin-starred establishments, including Bar Agricole, Delfina, Aziza, and Michael Mina. Notably, as the executive chef at Trou Normand, she initiated one of the Bay Area's pioneering in-house charcuterie programs. Now, as the Director of Culinary Services, Holly continues to captivate with her innovative use of local ingredients and her deep appreciation for seasonal flavors. The Holbrook House is the beating heart of the reborn San Francisco Financial District; a sophisticated throwback to a gilded era.
Hernan, originally from San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, and proud of his LatinX heritage, brings a rich cultural background and a passion for gastronomy to his career in the hospitality industry. With extensive experience in renowned establishments such as Eleven Madison Park, Maison Premiere, and Cosme, Hernan has honed his skills as a General Manager and Beverage Director. He has received accolades for his own restaurant, Hampton Street Vineyard, and has recently joined Cotogna in San Francisco. With his expertise and unwavering commitment to excellence, Hernan now takes on the role of opening General Manager and Beverage Director at Holbrook House, poised to make a significant impact in the industry. Stevens tells Eater, "We want to be a place that people can go, at any time of day," and there will be dishes of different price points available for all meals and appetites.
As the Chronicle tells us today (Eater got in for some early pictures as well), the elegant, fern-topped central bar at Holbrook House seats 24 people, and in addition to 60 table seats, there are 24 more in an outdoor patio area. We lead the way in building a thriving downtown where business gets done, people feel welcome, come to explore, and make memories. The Conservatory at One Sansome, which has often had palm trees in it, is also one of San Francisco’s privately owned public open spaces, or POPOs—and Holbrook House will spill into it when the venue opens Sept. 6. All the tables in the 60-seat dining room at Holbrook House have little switches built into them, one saying Martini, the other Champagne.

Modern — Classic.
In keeping with the lifestyles of FiDi workers, breakfast will have a number of options, whether it’s a grab-and-go Craftsman and Wolves pastry and Sightglass Coffee to take back to a work desk, or something more substantial to eat at the restaurant or in the atrium. There will also be yogurt and granola, fruit, and a seasonal toast, such as a tomato toast served on bread from Josey Baker Bread. Three egg dishes are also featured on the menu, as well as heavier, brunch-like options, such as a duck fat hash served with duck confit and poached eggs, or a pork schnitzel with a fried egg, if diners want to linger over breakfast.

Flip the switch (left for bubbly, right for gin), and a globe-shaped bulb illuminates, prompting a bartender to wheel over a 1920s-era vintage cart with seven kinds of sparkling wine by the glass ($14 to $58 for Dom Perignon) to complement the upscale American menu. The martini cart offers an array of gins and vodkas, with garnishes for the bartender to prepare your cocktail tableside ($16 and up). Holbrook House, the swanky bar and restaurant that opened Wednesday in the Financial District, has marble floors and two-person booths upholstered in blue satin. Guests dining at select tables need only flip a switch to call for Champagne or another martini. One of the most historic spaces in Downtown San Francisco will soon have an ultra-luxe tenant with capacity for as many as 2,000 guests, when restaurant and events venue Holbrook House takes up residence in early September.

It always helps to have a gimmick when you're opening something new in this town, and the minds behind Holbrook House — the grand new restaurant opening September 6 in the old bank building at One Sansome — have come up with a clever one.

To your martini service, add a caviar "bump," a $10 serving of fish eggs from the California Caviar Company scooped onto the back of your hand (to be eaten, not snorted). A 2022 San Francisco Chronicle article teased the project, with Spiegel calling it an alternative to the neighborhood’s hotels—a Gatsby-esque destination where people drink martinis and champagne.

Delmonico's Steakhouse
Table Of Content
Instead, the dining room is a tableau of Fidi bankers, tourists, and, if you eat here after 9pm, a few May-December arrangements. If you go into this Fidi institution—which reopened in 2023 after a three-year hiatus—completely unaware of its past, you’ll still have a solid steakhouse meal. (Even as you wonder why someone is serving you baked Alaska in the 21st century.) But you’ll appreciate Delmonico’s a lot more if you buy into the lore. Access to exclusive tables at prime times at coveted restaurants around the world. Delmonico's Steakhouse features Prime Steaks, Fresh Seafood and Italian Classics.
It was the first restaurant in New York to offer food à la carte
Perhaps the most luxurious event the brand catered was Alva Vanderbilt's famous masquerade ball, held in 1883. Thrown at her new house on Fifth Avenue, the ball welcomed 1,200 guests, each in costume. Delmonico's served an impressive menu that included favorites of the day such as terrapin, fried oysters, and sandwiches.
The Resy Guide to Outdoor Dining in New York
The New York Times' first restaurant review was published in 1859 and featured a round-up of the city's leading institutions, including Delmonico's. One of the unnamed reporter's first comments revolves around the steakhouse's reputation as a fine-dining destination. They note that such a reputation makes for intimidating dining; Delmonico's waiters were known to sneer if patrons asked for a low quality wine or did not order their dishes in the "correct" sequence. That being said, once patrons had ordered, they could expect the best service imaginable.
All About Only Love Strangers, Opening Soon on the Lower East Side
In The New York Times' 1859 review, it's suggested that the restaurant located in Broadway demanded an annual rent of $10,000, over $375,000 today. The most popular of all Delmonico's vegetable dishes spotlights the humble potato. Delmonico's potatoes, as the dish was known, was a simple dish of mashed potatoes covered in breadcrumbs and melted cheese. It was beloved by many patrons, most notably President Abraham Lincoln. Prior to Delmonico's, most Americans ate a cold, packed lunch — usually sandwiches they'd prepared in the morning. However, the restaurant's location in New York's commercial district soon saw locals exchanging their sandwiches for sit down, hot lunches consisting of French classics.
Lamb Chops
During this event, various dishes were served, including salmon à la Rothschild, pigeon, and duck. This decadent feast supposedly cost Peto $20,000 — that's over $380,000 in today's money. It does very well with marinades and makes a great cut for tacos, whether you treat it as a slow-cooked meat or grill it. There's one steak cut, though, that's more recent — way more recent — to the point where it's barely older than the iPod. This is the flat iron steak, which isn't just one of the best cuts of steak for a dinner party, but also a triumph of meat science. Incredibly, those intrepid meat researchers succeeded beyond anyone's wildest dreams.
Old Homestead Steakhouse
The only universal feature of these variations is that they are at least 2 inches thick. The Delmonico steak served at Delmonico's, an impressive 18-ounce cut of boneless ribeye, is easily that thick. It is priced at $75 and is still deemed the restaurant's specialty.
Eating at Delmonico's was a grand experience
Thankfully, plenty of sources survive from this time, allowing us to paint a picture of what eating in America's first steakhouse was like. Ranhofer was a French chef who had learnt his trade in Paris. After moving to the United States, he soon found himself working at Delmonico's where he gained a reputation as America's first superstar chef. Ranhofer's excellent cooking was one of the main reasons he attained such fame.
What It Was Like To Eat At The First Steakhouse
All guests were escorted to the dining room where they enjoyed dishes including filet mignon, grouse, and chicken consommé. Other common practices that patrons thought uncivilized, such as the ringing of a gong to announce the serving of food, were abandoned in Delmonico's in favor of European etiquette. This made dining at Delmonico's a rare and impressive experience. This review also provides some insight into the astounding prices Delmonico's was charging only 30 years after being founded. At this time, meals ranged in price from $5 a head without wine, to $50 a head including wine. If inflation is taken into account, these sums are approximately $188 and $1,881 respectively.
Delmonico’s claims to have invented this legendary lobster dish, but there are apparently a few ships and one salty sea captain who’d say otherwise. The seafood dish is thickened with egg yolks and cream, then spiked with cognac, and gets its bright red color from lobster coral. Delmonico’s was founded in 1827 as a bakery by a pair of Italian-Swiss brothers, Giovanni and Pietro Delmonico. The original location was razed, another, more grandiose, built, with columns supposedly imported from Pompeii. For a spell, the institution fled north, to 14th and then 44th Streets, then returned south. Conveniently located minutes from the crossroads of I-480 & I-77 on the busting hub of Rockside Road, it is the perfect location for business lunches and group meetings.
Soon after it opened in 1827, the café became a valued part of New York's nascent dining scene. Delmonico’s is frequently billed as America’s first restaurant. Before Delmonico’s it was all lunch-pails and cold sandwiches at lunch, and perhaps an oyster refectory or two. And Delmonico’s is still there, still in downtown Manhattan, down where the city grid goes cockamamie and mountains of money are made, where steaks are cut thick and the lobster comes coddled in a puff pastry. In 1860, the restaurant held an event for some 3,000 people, one of which was Albert Edwards, Prince of Wales. Famously, the evening began with part of the building's dance floor collapsing.
It seems unlikely that today’s Hudsons, Grants, and Taylors will frequent Delmonico’s. For one, that pied à terre apartment has been turned, like the rest of the building, into luxury condos. For another, the Continental cuisine offered by Delmonico’s is no longer the preferred cuisine of the famous and semi-famous, having been replaced by a sort of hyperbolic social media-friendly maximalism. (We see you, Bad Roman.) It’s all neon lights and monstera now. Max Tucci is the modern proselytizer for what he calls “the Delmonico way.” He’s an author who loves spinning tales of Delmonico’s in its glory years.
The balls often involved a nine course Delmonico's supper that was served on gold plates. One of the Patriarch Balls, held in 1882, featured exquisite dishes such as truffled turkey, foie gras pâté, and truffled capons. Due to Ranhofer's creativity, patrons at Delmonico's were treated to a menu rich in innovation. This proved to be as great an allure as the promise of exceptional steaks. Indeed, Delmonico's was famed for its ability to serve hundreds of guests with distinctly elaborate dishes, making it the foremost establishment when one aimed to impress.
This multipage document offers a rare insight into dishes offered by America's first steakhouse. Unsurprisingly, beef plays a central role with various types of boiled beef, beef steak, tenderloin, and tongue being listed. Other familiar items include fried chicken, lamb chops, and breaded veal cutlets. Of course, this early menu also lists some dishes that contemporary Americans regularly eschew, such as fried calf's brains and stewed hare. Aside from the grandness of the dining room, the restaurant's team of trained waiters, and the food itself, the most surprising aspect of Delmonico's was the menu. Up until this point, those in New York were used to having only a single option when eating out; most taverns served the one dish the owner decided to prepare that day.

Another was his willingness to create dishes that catered to the tastes and whims of his regular patrons. The chef's creations included the now famous chicken à la king and lobster Newburg. Some people even suggest Ranhofer created the popular dessert, baked Alaska. As we've seen, dining at Delmonico's was an expensive business with patrons being charged over $1,750 when splashing out. Those wishing to hire out Delmonico's had to be prepared to spend even more. This was highlighted by a banquet held by Sir Samuel Morton Peto in 1865 at the steakhouse.

The swanky retro-design with luxurious furnishings and romantic mood lighting makes you feel as if you are in a 1950's Manhattan Supper-Club. Conveniently located in the center of Northeast Ohio at the bustling crossroads of Rockside Road and Interstate 77, Delmonico’s is the perfect place to connect with friends, family, or colleagues. Thin, crispy “prosciutto chips” are arranged around the chunk of lettuce, as if shielding it from view during a costume change. It sits on a bed of extra tangy bleu cheese from New Zealand, and comes with yuzu honey vinaigrette. If you weren’t already looking at a picture of it, this crab cake would surprise you. Lump Maine crab meat is wrapped up inside a mound of crispy potato strings woven together like a basket.

Max Tucci is the modern proselytizer for what he calls “the Delmonico way.” He’s an author who loves spinning tales of Delmonico’s in its glory years.
Oscar's Wedge Salad
Soon after it opened in 1827, the café became a valued part of New York's nascent dining scene. Delmonico’s is frequently billed as America’s first restaurant. Before Delmonico’s it was all lunch-pails and cold sandwiches at lunch, and perhaps an oyster refectory or two. And Delmonico’s is still there, still in downtown Manhattan, down where the city grid goes cockamamie and mountains of money are made, where steaks are cut thick and the lobster comes coddled in a puff pastry. In 1860, the restaurant held an event for some 3,000 people, one of which was Albert Edwards, Prince of Wales. Famously, the evening began with part of the building's dance floor collapsing.
Delmonico’s claims to have invented this legendary lobster dish, but there are apparently a few ships and one salty sea captain who’d say otherwise. The seafood dish is thickened with egg yolks and cream, then spiked with cognac, and gets its bright red color from lobster coral. Delmonico’s was founded in 1827 as a bakery by a pair of Italian-Swiss brothers, Giovanni and Pietro Delmonico. The original location was razed, another, more grandiose, built, with columns supposedly imported from Pompeii. For a spell, the institution fled north, to 14th and then 44th Streets, then returned south. Conveniently located minutes from the crossroads of I-480 & I-77 on the busting hub of Rockside Road, it is the perfect location for business lunches and group meetings.

The balls often involved a nine course Delmonico's supper that was served on gold plates. One of the Patriarch Balls, held in 1882, featured exquisite dishes such as truffled turkey, foie gras pâté, and truffled capons. Due to Ranhofer's creativity, patrons at Delmonico's were treated to a menu rich in innovation. This proved to be as great an allure as the promise of exceptional steaks. Indeed, Delmonico's was famed for its ability to serve hundreds of guests with distinctly elaborate dishes, making it the foremost establishment when one aimed to impress.
Thankfully, plenty of sources survive from this time, allowing us to paint a picture of what eating in America's first steakhouse was like. Ranhofer was a French chef who had learnt his trade in Paris. After moving to the United States, he soon found himself working at Delmonico's where he gained a reputation as America's first superstar chef. Ranhofer's excellent cooking was one of the main reasons he attained such fame.
The New York Times' first restaurant review was published in 1859 and featured a round-up of the city's leading institutions, including Delmonico's. One of the unnamed reporter's first comments revolves around the steakhouse's reputation as a fine-dining destination. They note that such a reputation makes for intimidating dining; Delmonico's waiters were known to sneer if patrons asked for a low quality wine or did not order their dishes in the "correct" sequence. That being said, once patrons had ordered, they could expect the best service imaginable.
All guests were escorted to the dining room where they enjoyed dishes including filet mignon, grouse, and chicken consommé. Other common practices that patrons thought uncivilized, such as the ringing of a gong to announce the serving of food, were abandoned in Delmonico's in favor of European etiquette. This made dining at Delmonico's a rare and impressive experience. This review also provides some insight into the astounding prices Delmonico's was charging only 30 years after being founded. At this time, meals ranged in price from $5 a head without wine, to $50 a head including wine. If inflation is taken into account, these sums are approximately $188 and $1,881 respectively.
Instead, the dining room is a tableau of Fidi bankers, tourists, and, if you eat here after 9pm, a few May-December arrangements. If you go into this Fidi institution—which reopened in 2023 after a three-year hiatus—completely unaware of its past, you’ll still have a solid steakhouse meal. (Even as you wonder why someone is serving you baked Alaska in the 21st century.) But you’ll appreciate Delmonico’s a lot more if you buy into the lore.
