Huntington Hotel 's much-loved institution Big 4 has that classy , historic San Francisco feeling, and it earns extra charm points for its grand old-school fireplace . Read more
The old-school gem survived the recent renovation of the adjoining Scarlet Huntington hotel . Lucky for us, this place, where you go for a burger at the bar and live piano music , still has an old soul. Read more
Ah.Maz.Ing. Sit back , get a Manhattan , listen to the tantalizing tickles of the ivories and let yourself go. Take a tour of the old photos and pretend you're Dagny Taggert.
The chicken pot pie is just plain fun and delicious. If cream and sherry is not your thing, check out the bar burger (or lamb chops ). Order a paper airplane for a pre or post meal sip too.
Sophisticated yet laid back . Try the Fillet Mignon . Side of Brussel Sprouts is a must! Super-friendly, yet professional staff . Jackie S & Georgette we're the best!
Perfect for winter, this fireplace bar comes complete with a piano man , leather booths and a delicious mix of specialty cocktails on call. Feel fancy and enjoy the warmth in one of the private booths . Read more
Make sure to ask one of their waiters , Ron Henggeler, (who's also an in-house historian and a decorator) to tell you about the history of the Huntington Hotel and the Big 4. Also, Filet Mignon is yum
Classic. Dim lighting , fantastic cocktails , impressive wine list , delicious hors d'oeuvres and perfectly cooked filet mignon . One of my favorite steakhouses .
An oasis in the terrible food scene of San Francisco. A class act ambiance, fantastic food, and proper service. Love love love Big 4!
Interesting authentic restaurant with great food and lots of history. I'd recommend it, but you may need to book as it's very popular
Secret cocktail spot of those in the know.
If you can get Ron for your waiter you will be in for an amazing night of San Francisco history. His depth of knowledge is amazing.
Live piano music , a chicken pot pie from chef Gloria Ciccarone-Nehls and martinis made with Anchor Distilling's Junipero gin complete the experience of this quintessential Nob Hill power spot.
Chicken pot pie and the pork chop ! takes me back to the 1920s atmosphere
I love old school clubby places like this. Great burger at lunch that they might reluctantly serve you at dinner .
Sit at the bar with your date and listen to the piano player . Fantastic, old school drinks and food.
For a Saturday night "quiet " plan is great. I had the burger at the bar and was also good. Nice to hang around...
Best piano player in SF! He takes requests. Sit, listen and be transported back to the '30's, 40's and 50's Magical.
The Big Four is a best kept secret with one of the great bars of San Francisco
Fine, Authentic and historical American restaurant . Great cocktails and burgers
I've taken a hankering for sauzerac but boy unlike a grilled cheese they are hard to get right. Lucky for you Ty makes them perfect. So order one up!
Old school yet excellent food, with top notch preparation and ingredients
Enjoy Michael Parsons on the piano. Show your support by buying a CD from him. The guy is great!
The dim lighting makes this the perfect place for a secret tryst
The type of place Don Draper and Roger Sterling would frequent.
Old-school cocktails in a romantic setting . Very charming during the holidays!

This restaurant is all about the finer thing in life, the sense of classic oozes from every corner of the place.
Onion soup is amazing
This place is half romantic throwback and half overpriced, empty, dark and aging ghost of days old
Terrific Vesper martini . Almost perfect, in fact.
Sit by the fireplace and listen to Michael Pearson play the piano - life is good!
Probably the best manhattan in the city : straight up or on the rocks there's something special Ty puts in it.
Perfect place to take advantage of the Dine About Town deal. They don't skimp on portions, that's for sure!
The Woodford Reserve Manhattan is a special treat!!!!!
Charmer.....if you like the look of an old men's club this is the place for you! Read more
