First opened in 1987 in San Francisco, Izzy’s Steaks & Chops from famed restauranteur Sam DuVall is a quintessential legacy steakhouse. The restaurant concept is inspired by the infamous bootlegger and Portuguese immigrant, Izzy Gomez, who first opened his eponymously named saloon in San Francisco’s Barbary Coast during prohibition. Having served the Marina district for almost forty years from its flagship location, and a second restaurant in the South Bay, Izzy’s is entering its new chapter of existence while honoring its storied history.
