The service was superb! The food itself wasn't my favorite, but I would go back because everyone was so nice :)

Jesse Atkinson

For some reason Yelp! lists this as a great place for vegetarians . It is not. If you ask they can make a mushroom pasta , but it is not on the menu .

Wilson Favre-Delerue

Dark, secluded, jazzy. Speakeasy vibe and great food at this SF classic. Take your visitors and parents here.

Rob Havasy

Classic cocktails served by an old-school professional staff . Steak tartare was great, with a dash of sriracha . Pork chop was juicy and flavorful. Great place.

Eden Antos

A very delightful, SF ambiance. This restaurant has amazing food. You can't go wrong with any of the choices. I definitely recommend the Brandt Beef Short Ribs and the Warm Chocolate Bread Pudding .

Astrid Baez

Give yourself sometime and enjoy a drink at the bar . Amazing atmosphere, fantastic service. Excellent dining experience.

Kuo-yu Liang

Both the lamb chop , and the cucumber salad were delicious. We had an excellent German Riesling and the atmosphere was classic old school.

Andy McLoughlin

Have the truffle burger (delicious and filling). Don't have the pork (possibly the smallest piece of meat I've ever seen served in this country ).

Kelly ????

Get a Sidecar, bone marrow and truffle fries for starters. Chicken hash is unusual so you might want to try that. Fish portions are generous for this type of restaurant . Bread is sourdough !

Larry Hall

Bone marrow = delish! Deviled eggs , butternut salad , lobster spaghetti , duck and truffle cheeseburger also fit into this same category. A delectable experience with amazing staff . <3

Eater

Tucked away in a random Financial District alley, Bix is a restaurant like no other in SF. Classic cocktails flow at the bar and the dining room is alive and popping every night. [Eater 38 Member]

Brian Strauss

A mainstay on my personal "martini trail ". Love the classic SF cocktail atmosphere. Love the potato and caviar puffs.

A swanky speakeasy-style supperclub in a hidden alley downtown, Bix is private, exclusive, atmospheric, and with live jazz most nights, it’s almost too precious to be true.

sohail

Everything was great! The food, the drink, the service, the ambiance!

Liz Ell

Beautiful old school, sophisticated atmosphere. You feel like wearing your pearls and ordering a martini . The deviled eggs are phenomenal.

Tara Amato

bix a modern supperclub with amazing jazz musicians ! i suggest going on a friday or sat night enjoying dinner or a drink and apps at the bar and listening to ken the pianist and the band!!!

Misha McGinley

Deviled eggs were ridiculous delicious! Had the chicken and hash and it was creative, delicious and a fun dish!

Tracey Bolton

Very cool, darkly lit, old timey San Francisco speakeasy . Upscale and spendy! Everything was impeccable from the cocktails to the service.

Nespresso USA

Located on a romantic alley in San Francisco's charming Jackson Sq., this spot is perfect for any occasion. Be sure to take in the live, nightly jazz !

Tim Perzyk

Great, old-style steakhouse tucked away in a random alley. Get the deviled eggs to start.

Sonia HSI

This place has AMAZING food, but if you don't have time time to enjoy dinner here, try and grab a seat at the bar , order one of their famous cocktails and their Bananas Foster . HEAVEN!!

Peter Berg

Has an old school jazz club vibe. Fish dishes are great, esp. the whole roasted fish if it's on the menu.

SFGate Manager

You might linger over snacks like harissa-spiked lamb sliders to fortify yourself. But even a quick pit stop for one of Bix's stiff, proper drinks is a true San Francisco treat.

V C

Great interior decor, makes you want to dress up to fit in. Impressive service. A good place for a special occasion .

Colleen Dourney

"I'm so smitten with this place. From the live piano to the bone marrow and white suited bartenders . I can't even handle it."

Paul de Hallé

The steak tartare is to die for. Amazing ambience and food.

Louis Ewens

The deviled eggs with truffle oil are rich and tasty.

Mark McElligott

Steak tartare & warm chocolate brioche bread pudding were superb. Excellent wine recommendation by our waiter

Food & Wine

This supper club evokes the ambience of Cunard ships from the '30s and '40s with classic drinks , a massive spirits selection and live jazz every night.

Brendan Curran

Great atmosphere and an opulence that's rare for SF. However, you're definitely paying for that, and not the fare, which is good but not equal to the cost.

Diane Pond

Make reservations early, great ambiance loved the lobster spaghetti and the ginger lemon margarita

Marty Madrid

Get the bone marrow , avoid the caesar salad !

Keith Wilson

Great staff (except luke warm hostess ), great cocktails , good atmosphere, live music . Small portions and way over priced average food. Go to Wayfare instead.

Ms Helene

Potato pillows , crab rolls , caviar service, deviled eggs & scallops .

John Fernandez SF

I'm such a speakeasy fan. Love the food. One of my top 5 in SF. Visit me at www.personaltrainingSF.com

O L

Feel transported back in time. A classic SF and Jazz experience.

Scott Archambault

Steak tartare and salmon tartare are excellent. Don't miss the truffle fries and bananas foster as well .

suzanne ????

The ambiance and music is what I look for if I'm feeling nostalgic.

Willy G Gomez

If you like Hispanic food, you must try the Chicken Hash !

Tucked down a quiet alley, Bix stands alone. Consistently on the Chronicle’s Top 100 Restaurant list, nothing in San Francisco means old glamour like this.

Sara K

I love the atmosphere here. Live music and lots of energy every time ????

Alicia Harmon

The pork shoulder is beyond incredible. Melts in your mouth. Butterscotch chocolate brownie was not what I expected but also very good.

Leah Johnson

Spaghetti lobster is divine. Lives up to the reviews left here.

Dave Nemecek

Pork chop and bone marrow were both delicious.

Michel Al-Moumen

Creamed spinach - hands down most delicious I've ever had, and I don't say that lightly

Nicole Ely

The steak tartar and potato pillows are amazing! Love the French 77 cocktail also.

Ashley Nelson

Amazing vegetarian meal , it's not on the menu , but oh so good! Ask about it!

Johnnie Skywalking

great atmosphere especailly the view from upstairs table.

Elizabeth Burstein

Recommend the steak and banana foster dessert
