Food does not reach even close to the real HOPR quality. Service is great.

This pop-up inside Nightbird is intended as a tribute to the classic House of Prime Rib in San Francisco. While the concept is wonderful, the execution much less so. The salad presentation with the spinning salad bowl was nice but, unfortunately, the dressing was bland, almost without taste. The main attraction, a small piece of prime rib, while nicely flavored was oddly textured. My dinner companion suspected it had been sous vided. The sourdough bread, the mini baked potato and the dollop of creamed spinach were all good. They also served Yorkshire pudding, but I can't recall how it tasted. So, not memorable. Service was both professional and friendly. Dinner for two with wine came to $400. While the experience was not unpleasant it was by no means a dinner worth $400. The original House of Prime Rib is clearly the better choice.

A perfect homage to House of Prime Rib. The salad was incredible! The prime rib divine! The adorable mini baked potato with all the fixings. Everything was beautifully made and presented and just so yummy! We hope to go back before they change the menu. It was much more casual then Nightbird. Amazing service and very good wines and cocktails. GO!

Absolutely incredible Chef Kim is top of her game. The interpretation of House of Prime Rib was unreal topped by the best truffle Yorkshire Pudding ever ever. And every element of the meal was reminiscent of HOPR and yet original and absolutely delicious. My only sadness is that PrimeBird only has one more week! Thank you Chef Kim & Ron!

The prime rib experience is probably not worth it. Very quiet ambiance, distant servers, 7-8 tables. If you’re craving prime rib, go to the original place. Better value and taste, more engaging servers. That said, if you want a quieter ambiance, go with this pop up. It’s definitely more intimate and quiet.
