"Despite our best efforts, we were unable to secure or renew a lease for our location, and we must bring this chapter to a close at the end of that day,"
"We have only just begun exploring new opportunities for one of San Ramon's oldest and most beloved restaurants,"
"We have been going to the Brass door since I was a very young child, with my father and family. It was such a treat and always felt like we were going to see family and friends and have a great meal."
The Brass Door, a long-running San Ramon steakhouse at 2154 San Ramon Valley Blvd., will close permanently on Dec. 24 after nearly 80 years in business. The owner was unable to secure or renew a lease despite attempts to offer more money. The landlord, 8 to 5 Properties, said it is exploring new opportunities for the location. The restaurant opened in 1946 as the 8/5 Club, was renamed The Brass Door in 1955, expanded to about 200 seats, and was known for its prime rib and prime rib French dip sandwich. Regular customers expressed sadness and shared memories.
