El Raigón, the Argentine steak house in the heart of North Beach, has celebrated its fifth year of operations. We serve traditional Argentine Asado specializing in steak grilled Estancia style over wood and charcoal. We serve 100% all natural beef from Uruguay. We also feature hearty award winning Argentine Wines. The restaurant has been critically acclaimed receiving great reviews in the SF Chronicle, Examiner, Zagat and SF Weekly. IT was nominated by the San Francisco Chronicle as one of the BAY AREA TOP 100 RESTAURANTS for 2005 and 2006. In 2007, it was nominated as one of the TOP 10 STEAKHOUSES IN AMERICA by Playboy Magazine. To accommodate larger parties, El Raigón has created a private dining room. It features a 12 foot long solid black walnut table custom designed by Aaron Crespi woodworking in Petaluma. It is ideal for any gathering of 10-20 people.

I had high hopes for this place as it was recommended by a foodie friend who I respect. However as much as I did love the chimichurri that came with the meal, I just didn't feel the same kind of love for the rest of the dinner. First of all, they were completely unwilling to make any substitutes even though I knew I wasn't going to like blood sausage. And no one else at our table did either so it went to waste. Then I found the food to be dry and not that flavourful unless I drowned it in chimichurri sauce. Seemed a bit shameful for a steakhouse. Finally the prices were on the high side, so in all a bit disappointing.
