After 20 years, Izzy’s on the Peninsula will close Oct. 4

After a 20-year run, Izzy’s on the Peninsula — a San Carlos restaurant known for its steaks, chops and seafood — will shut down after the last dinner is served Oct. 4.

“We’re grateful for every memory and invite you to join us for one last meal before we close this chapter,” the DuVall Family Restaurant Group announced on the website. “Our flagship restaurant in San Francisco will continue welcoming you for many years to come.”

That Marina district flagship was founded in 1987 by noted Bay Area restaurateur Sam DuVall. Both restaurants are named after saloon keeper Isadore “Izzy” Gomez, a colorful figure during San Francisco’s Barbary Coast days, and are run by the DuVall second generation.

Among the menu highlights are “The Gomez,” a prime rib dinner with Izzy’s potatoes and creamed spinach; the Duroc Tomahawk Pork Chop; Crispy Skin Salmon; and for dessert, Glazed Crullers made to order.

The Peninsula location, near the San Carlos Airport, had undergone a massive renovation in late 2023 and early 2024, reopening in January of that year with a new look and a reimagined menu. Seating was created for 245 guests, with new private dining spaces, a classic bar and lounge, new garden patio and Isadore’s Table, a semi-private space in the main dining room.

Following those changes, the family renovated the S.F. location.

Between now and the closing night. the San Carlos restaurant will serve dinner Tuesday-Sunday starting at 5 p.m.
