BIX is truly one of those quintessential San Francisco dining experiences. Everything about our evening--from the atmosphere to the service, cocktails, and food--was unparalleled. The dining room is absolutely gorgeous: elegant, intimate, and timeless with that classic old-school San Francisco supper-club feel. Add the live piano, beautiful lighting, and impeccable service, and the entire evening feels special without being overly formal. We ordered quite a bit so we could share and try everything--the chicken liver mousse, salad, Petrale sole, lobster pasta, short ribs, and pork chop, along with several of their signature cocktails. There genuinely wasn't a miss. The chicken liver mousse was silky and decadent, the sole was delicate and beautifully prepared, and the lobster pasta was rich, flavorful, and one of my favorites of the evening. The short ribs were incredibly tender, and the pork chop was cooked perfectly. Even with such rich dishes, everything felt thoughtful and balanced. The cocktails were exceptional and fit the atmosphere perfectly--classic, sophisticated, and beautifully executed. What really completed the experience, though, was the service. Warm, polished, attentive, and perfectly paced. We never felt rushed, and everyone made us feel genuinely taken care of throughout the evening. BIX feels like the kind of restaurant that represents what dining in San Francisco can be at its best: beautiful food, exceptional hospitality, great cocktails, live music, and an atmosphere you simply can't replicate. An absolutely wonderful evening and easily five stars. read more

Haven't been to Bix in years. Decided to go again last night and it is still superb! This is a classy, classic SF institution that still packs them in. The food is stellar. The ambience is to die for and frankly there is nothing I can criticize. Service was attentive and perfect. Ambience is as good as it gets. Food is excellent. What's not to love? We dressed up and you should too if you dine there. Even though it's SF and there probably aren't any restaurants left that enforce dress codes it's part of the experience to dress up and dine out in places like this. It makes the dining experience better for everyone. read more

The vibe is amazing. Music is good. Me and my friend arrived at 5:30pm, sat at the bar without reservation, but you can order food at the bar as well. The drinks were good. The beef tartare was delicious. We also share the Guinea Fowl dish -- the bird has a dryer texture like turkey, well seasoned tho, l really like the grilled turnip and the sourdough soaking up all the juice. read more

It has been 30 years since I have been to BIX. I still find the decor appealing, and I like the vibe. Now I am here with my adult children, who also enjoyed the space, and pulling up into an alley and walking up to the substantial front door sets a tone that still works years later. BIX is clearly a restaurant that knows the biz and what they are doing, no question. I recognize that finding staff is challenging across all business sectors, so this review is written with that in mind. I was the first of my party to arrive and was instructed to wait at the bar, and the hostess offered to check my jacket. My first impression was that the hostess was wearing a very worn turtleneck top and burnt yellow pants. I didn't think the outfit fit the restaurant's decor. The bar is a classic, and you won't find a lot of trendy craft cocktails, so a Martini was in order. It was respectable. The rest of my party arrived, and we were escorted to our table on the second floor. The bartender requested that I settle up before being seated. I scooch off the bar stool and am holding a nearly full Martini, and I was a little surprised that it was not offered to deliver my drink to the table. I walked up the entire flight of stairs and didn't spill a drop, but honestly, I felt the drink should have been delivered to our table. After being seated, the server seemed very rushed and a little frazzled, does not introduce himself, and only asks about water. All of us, at varying ages, thought the lighting was too dim. The amber-orange lighting is part of the jazz club vibe, but the Kelvins need an adjustment- too low, making it difficult to read the menu, even with the table lighting. It took several minutes for cocktail orders to be taken. Not sure, there was a check back on cocktails, and orders were finally taken for appetizers. I had to ask the server for a rundown, and he only mentioned that the potato pillows are very popular before scurrying away. At this point, we started to feel that our server was only there to take orders and nothing more. Appetizers: the potato pillows reminded me of tater tots; instead of shredded potatoes, they were made with mashed potatoes. Hamachi crudo was solid, and the chicken liver mousse was the hit. The celery soup was flavorless and a bit watery. Cesar salad was good, but the portion could have been slightly bigger. My son enjoyed the sole. I thought the piece of fish seemed a bit small. Two of us had the pork chop. It was moist and flavorful, but too salty. A steak patty was ordered and was enjoyed, but the guinea fowl was disappointing. When ordering wine, I asked the server about a Zinfandel or the Vacqueyras. He quickly answered Zinfandel without asking about preferences or offering pairing suggestions. I regretted ordering the Zinfndel. Desserts were basic, and a couple of us had a Carajillo-type cocktail. A coffee was ordered but forgotten, and arrived after the dessert. Would I return? There are so many other choices in the city at this price point. The bottom line: go for the atmosphere. The live jazz and the decor are the draw. I am not trying to be harsh here and I know staff are so difficult to hire these days, but hopefully this hurts the heart slightly to evoke some attention to detail and change so this place can last another 30 years, but not trying to hurt the heart enough to make the staff bail from providing a good product, with excellent service and a smile. It was a weeknight, and the place was packed. read more

Phenomenal. Came here for a friend's birthday. This place is dark and moody, and down an alley, not on the main street. Very unique spot, with cool decor, and live piano. The staff were friendly and attentive. The food was incredible, the service was top notch, and the ambience was cool with the high ceilings, low lights, and the live music. The best thing on the menu is the Potato Pillows with the little dollop of creme fraiche and caviar. The Dungeness Crab Croquettes were absolutely delicious too. Everything was delicious; but those two items were uniquely prepared and perfectly executed. Dessert was decadent and a great end to the celebration. Definitely will make reservations when in town again. read more

We came here for a weeknight date dinner, and what a lovely experience!! Highly recommend making a reservation, the place was already packed at 6 pm on a Tuesday. It gets quite loud so you may have to yell to hear your date The potato pillows were so decadent and to DIE for, so delicious. The chicken liver mousse spread on some buttery toast was also the absolute perfect appetizer. And I loved the brioche bread pudding, so molten it tasted like a lava cake read more

Not for the cable cars, Golden Gate Bridge, or any other iconic site, but for Bix, it's that good!!!! read more

My brothers and I did Bix for the New Year's Eve dinner. The night had some ups and downs, but the live music really made it for me. The band was great, and being seated on the first floor meant we got the music up close. It does get loud though, so if that's not your thing, then the upstairs seating would probably be better. The decor and artwork above the bar are beautiful, unique, and fit the space really well. Our waitress was very friendly, which I loved. Speaking about their food, it was a bit hit or miss, and the pacing was super slow. The first course came out about 40 minutes in, and the whole meal took close to four hours. Even with our reservations, we waited around 20 minutes to be seated, and I noticed a few groups ahead of us leave because of the wait time. It also felt a little awkward too standing in the middle of the bar all smooshed inside while waiting for our table. Most of the starters were letdowns for me. The truffled steak tartare was overwhelmed by raw shallots and the lobster roll had a very wet, watered-down lobster meat (disappointing for someone raised in Maine). My first course was the Dungeness crab Louie tart and it had a nice portion of crab with a tasty avocado mousse, but the tart underneath was stale, which really took away from it. The main entree was the highlight of my meal. I chose the American Wagyu New York Strip and it was cooked perfectly medium rare. It came with very minimal sides, but it didn't matter to me because I just wanted steak haha. Dessert was the largest portion in the meal. The tarte Tatin was good, but leaned heavily on warm apple caramel and could've used more vanilla ice cream for balance. For drinks, the cocktails were underwhelming and a bit flat for taste, especially the Elixir No. 3. In hindsight, wine or simple spirits would have been a better move for me. One small observation I did see at the place is that when the music really got going, people at the bar clearly wanted to jive to the tunes, but it was quickly shut down, so this is definitely a no-dancing kind of place, even on NYE. Bottom line, BIX shines with its music, atmosphere, and vibe. The food didn't fully live up to the night, yet the whole experience was still enjoyable because of good company and the other friendly patrons that night. read more

Bix has a great ambiance--dark, vibey, and exactly the kind of place you want for a night out--but the overall experience didn't quite live up to it. The food was fine, but nothing particularly memorable, especially for the price point. The crowd leaned heavily into a "trying to be cool" tech bro scene, which took away a bit from the atmosphere they're clearly going for. Cocktails were a mixed bag--my first martini had noticeable espresso martini notes from a previous drink, which wasn't ideal. On the positive side, service was solid, though a bit on the stiff side. Overall, it's a cool-looking spot with good bones, but everything is just 'trying' to be something, But not quite it read more

Came across this place while trying to find a reservation for a Saturday night while in down. So made a reservation and headed over. BIX is down a little alley type street, and may not seem like much from the outside, but stepping inside takes you back to a time of elegance. We were seated once all of our party was present and immediately ordered cocktails. Drinks were pretty good, can't complain about them, each distinct with a good balance of flavor and spirit. For appetizers, we started with the potato pillows with caviar and bone marrow. The potato pillows were just that, deep fried potato, crispy on the outside, crispy on the inside, soft on the inside, with creme fraiche and caviar. Just a little but it goodness, though the caviar really didn't stand out as I thought it would. The bone marrow was ample in size and portion with your standard bread and a little salad with vinaigrette to cut the richness of the marrow. Another great appetizer. Entrees, the chicken hash was recommended as it had been in the menu for over 20 years. It came on a bed of craved leeks and chanterelles. Overall, a very underwhelming dish with two coffee patties, breaded and fried. A little dry on the inside. Was just hoping for something more for a dish that had been on the menu for so long. The lobster spaghetti also felt like a little of a let down, thought it had a nice amount of lobster meat, as well as a little heat from the calabrian chili sofrito. Overall, just felt it needed some other flavor profiles to pull it all together. The steak hache could be described as a hamburger patty with pepper covered in a sauce. Had a nice flavor to the sauce but what sitting you would run back for. And the pork chop was actually a decent dish with glazed apples on top and fennel cream. Overall, cocktails were tasty and the bone marrow was great. Entrees left a lot to be desired for our table, though the pork chop was decent. Maybe stop by for a drink at the bar and some appetizers before getting your night started. read more

This is a classy place and one of my favorite restaurants. I've gone on weekends, and there is usually piano or other live music going on. Their food is great, and the ambience is really nice. It feels like classic San Francisco. Service is great as well and feels like service that would be at an even more expensive restaurant. Last time I went I had the petrale sole, and it was cooked perfectly. The pork chop is also good. My favorite dessert I ate last year was absolutely their bananas fosters, which they call Gold Street Foster. It's soo good. I recommend this place for a nice date or special occasion. read more

Wow--this place is the definition of effortlessly classy. Beautiful plates of carefully crafted dishes are accompanied by impeccable service and live jazz music. The vibe is old fashioned but timeless, and the dimly lit space immediately creates an intimate atmosphere. I ordered the local petrale sole meunière. The delicate, flaky white fish paired perfectly with the simple yet rich brown butter sauce. The pearl onion confit and potatoes were equally impressive--I only wished there had been a few more. My boyfriend ordered the steak haché, served in a creamy au poivre sauce with a generous side of frites. The bread roll arrived perfectly warm and fluffy, and the appetizer sampler was a perfect choice for first timers. The potato pillow and deviled egg were little bites of heaven, though I must say they were a bit stingy on the caviar. I loved the live piano jazz--it sounded like improv at times, charming in a way like a single thought can go on and on. Definitely make a reservation, as this place fills up quickly after dark. I would highly recommend for anniversaries! read more

On Friday 7/31 at Bix, a host offered me two bar seats while I waited for my friend, who was minutes away. She actually pointed out two options. I chose the two worst seats at the bar, right next to the service station, to make it easier on them. I explicitly asked, "Are you sure this is okay? My friend will be here in less than three minutes." She said yes. I sat down. When a couple approached the empty seat next to me, I started to explain it was taken -- but the bartender cut me off and said "the bar is first come, first serve." I explained what I was told and he repeated, "the bar is first come , first serve". I went to the front desk to sort it out, and when I came back, he had given my seat to the couple. So much for first come, first serve. My friend walked in just as I was getting my coat. We left. On the way out, I spotted a manager and told him what happened. He couldn't have cared less. The original host was standing right there with her back to me the entire time. I've worked in restaurants and I know mistakes happen. But not one person acknowledged that I'd been given misinformation. A simple apology, a comp drink, something -- anything -- would have been the hospitable thing to do. Instead, nothing. We ended up a block away. The food was mediocre, but the service was warm and genuine -- exactly what I needed. Bix should take note. read more

My boyfriend and I decided to try this place for Valentine's Day because I love the live music. Even with a fixed menu, everything was fabulous and full of flavor. The drinks were strong, and the servers gave great recommendations throughout the night. The staff was attentive to every table, making the experience feel very well taken care of. The caviar, steak, and bananas foster were all divine. The atmosphere is my favorite, I love the dark, elegant, and fancy vibe. The ambiance really stands out with its dim lighting, vintage supper club feel, and live jazz playing throughout the evening, which makes the whole experience feel romantic and timeless. Overall, it was an amazing experience for $125 per person. read more

The food is a solid 3.5 and the service was a 4. I have been coming here for over 25 years and normally have had a great time. However, the manager has come across as a bit rude a couple of times now, as if this the only place in town. Fortunately, the bar is still good, there is a good people scene, and great music. read more

My boyfriend and I were celebrating our 5 year anniversary and we found Bix on lists of cute and romantic restaurants. Bro no new to the Bay Area we gave it a shot. First the alley leading to the restaurant was very cute and set the vibe. The restaurant itself was really pretty. Classic and totally gave a speak easy vibe. Everything we ate was delicious! My two favorite items were the Jamon Croquets and the Market Salad. Amazing!! The Jamon croquet was my favorite bite of the night. My entree was the Chicken Hash, it was something I had never had before but it was really really good. My boyfriend had the Sol and said it was good. The chocolate bread pudding was good, but to be completely honest, I've had better. Our waiter was great , staggered the food perfectly and was very attentive. The restaurant gave us a little anniversary card which was a sweet touch. read more

It feels like a bit more of an old school place. It sells steakhouse vibes but there was only one cut of steak on the menu and the waiter basically said the other dishes were better (albeit the menu rotates and a colleague said there's usually more steak options). Doesn't really matter to me as I was ordering fish anyway. I will say the fish was well cooked and had good flavor to it. Nothing super unique or blow-you-away but it was good. Unfortunately I felt like the apps and sides were also just OK. Overall the experience felt overpriced and while good, not worth the price. I wouldn't necessarily seek it out again, but if others pushed to go to Bix, I would return. read more

I really wanted to like Bix but it just wasn't for me. A lot of other people seem to like it - the place was packed ( Friday night) and it was four deep at the bar. It is a very attractive place and just my type but the noise was just too deafening. I don't enjoy screaming at my partner across the table. The live music doesn't help the noise level.It doesn't seem like you go there for the food . Not a very inspired menu. I had the steak Hache and frites. The less said about that the better. My husband liked his filet of sole ok. We shared a very small Caesar salad and it was the best thing I ate. The martini was very good and I got a lovely glass of wine. We wanted dessert but I couldn't take the noise so we left. The wait staff was very good - no complaints there. I'd say, go for an early cocktail if you're nearby. And, if you don't mind screaming to others at your table, you might like it. read more

Awesome vibe, great ambience, nice service, good food, and reasonable prices! Love the music they play! We would for sure go here again!

We made a reservation on Friday night for my husband's birthday. We arrived 30 minutes early because we were concerned about parking. Parking is primarily on the street, but there's a convenient paid public lot on Sansome Street, just a short walk from the restaurant. The ambiance inside is wonderful--you can hear the piano playing and admire the beautiful artwork on the walls. Both the service and the food were excellent! We especially loved that the restaurant features live piano music, and around 8:30 p.m., they transition to live jazz, which really added to the experience. Although the prices are on the higher side, this is a fantastic spot to enjoy great food accompanied by great music. read more

We came for our wedding anniversary. We sat at the bar as our table was being prepared, as we arrived early for our reservation. The cocktails were good and strong. Once our table was ready, we were seated, and they had written us a nice little note. We ordered a few plates, and our waiter asked if we were sharing; they ended up splitting the portions for us. I think my favorite dish was the pork chop; it was perfectly cooked and incredibly juicy. Honestly, we may have overdone it with the food. We also got the Coffee Creme Brulee and Gold St. Foster. It was a good night with good music and good food; we'll be back. read more

Went to Bix earlier this weekend for my birthday and really enjoyed my time there. It's a super cool two-story restaurant with live jazz music, great service, and really good American-French fusion food. To start off, we ordered the appetizer sampler, which included three of their top selling appetizers - deviled eggs were our personal favorite. Highlight of the meal was by far the entrees. I ordered the steak, which comes on a bed of some of the best cream corn I've had in my life. Lobster spaghetti was also a really good, lighter alternative. Overall really enjoyed my time here. Would come again for another special occasion. read more

Great old school classic SF restaurant. Upscale, reserve well in advance, and if there's live music (weekends) try to get a table downstairs.... Great service and I had the best oysters I've had in years ! They did a combo of west coast local oysters and some from the east coast. And I feel like a traitor as Bay Area native but the east coast ones were AMAZING. read more

Loved this place! The food was delicious - everything we ordered was full of flavor and super fresh. You can tell they put a lot of care into the menu. The service was amazing as well. Our server was super friendly, on top of everything, and made great recommendations. Felt really well taken care of the whole time. The vibe was upscale but still comfortable. Perfect spot for a nice night out without feeling overly formal. I'll definitely be back. Highly recommend if you're looking for good food, great service, and a chill but classy atmosphere. read more

Our party came here for a family birthday celebration and this was the perfect spot. We timed our dinner reservation perfectly so that we were able to listen to the live jazz starting at 7. Our group was seated in a booth upstairs with a perfect view of the musicians, which we loved. The space is stunning - classy, warm, and just a touch moody. Between the adults in our party, we tried a few different cocktails - the Pisco Punch was a standout. We opted to share a few appetizers, all of which were excellent - crab rolls, steak tartare, roasted sweet potatoes, and the chicken liver mousse (this one was a MUST - the jam perfectly complimented the flavor). For dinner, several. of us opted for the seared duck breast which was great. As far as desserts, the basque and the bananas foster were to die for. Service was very friendly and we loved the added touch of a sparkler candle for our birthday celebration. We did notice that one of our duck entrees came missing its sauce, but our server was quick to rectify this! I would absolutely recommend Bix for anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion or even for a romantic date night. read more

Wow. Amazing meal at Bix. Cool location in the middle of everything and not at all in the sticks. Wonderful service that one would expect from a pre fixe. I loved my vegetable pasta dish based on the lobster spaghetti but minus the meat so you get the gist. The trio of appetizers was also a highlight - I'm still dreaming of the potato pillows, deviled eggs and mini grilled cheese sandwiches (of which I think my fave was shockingly the grilled cheese). Cocktails all had an interesting twist too. Great meal in a fun spot. Loved it. read more

Dear Manager I am writing to bring a very disappointing experience at your restaurant to your attention. During our visit on Sunday June 6th, the service we received was so poor that we felt compelled to leave a one-dollar tip, something I have never done before. Our server was exceptionally impolite and rude throughout the interaction. The experience was so unpleasant that we decided to leave the restaurant before even ordering our main courses. I believe it is important for you to be aware of this behavior, as it significantly impacted our evening. I hope you will look into this matter to ensure other guests do not have a similar read more

My family and I went to Bix for my mom's birthday. We arrived around 5 and the restaurant was about half way full. The restaurant itself and ambiance is very nice. Around 6, the live music started. We enjoyed some drinks before ordering our appetizers. I ordered the pisco punch, which was very good. Slightly sweet, slightly sour, and refreshing. Others ordered a French 75, the Gold Rush, and Pear Blossom. Everyone seemed to like their drinks. We ordered the marrow bones and sampler to start. The sampler came with the potato pillow, truffle cheese croques, and the deviled egg. The potato pillow was definitely the star of the show. The outside was nice and crispy with a soft inside and pleasant salty taste from the caviar. The truffle cheese croques tasted like a simple grilled cheese, but were still very enjoyable. The deviled egg had a slight truffle flavor. They were good, but not my favorite. The bone marrow was also delicious. Slightly salty and rich. It also came with a parsley, caper, onion salad which paired nicely with the bread and bone marrow. For entrees, we ordered the pork chops, braised short ribs, poached cod, veal potpie, and chicken hash. I ordered the chicken hash and it was ... okay. It was pretty underwhelming. The chicken didn't have much flavor and the puree underneath was slightly sweet. I also ordered the truffle risotto, which was delicious, it definitely saved my meal. My mom ordered the veal pot pie and loved it. My fiance ordered the short ribs, which were good... but not great. My sister ordered the fish and, again, it was a bit bland. My dad ordered the pork chops and they were also pretty good, but nothing crazy. We ended the meal with the fig leaf panna cotta and poached pears. Our waiter was kind enough to put a candle in my mom's dessert. Both of the desserts were very enjoyable. They were not overwhelmingly sweet, and had pleasant textures to balance out the dish. My fiance also ordered the espresso martini, which had a nice rich coffee flavor. Although the entrees were just okay, the overall experience was very enjoyable. The service was spectacular. Our table was constantly cleaned, our dishes were always replaced, and our waiter was very pleasant. The appetizers, drinks, and desserts also made up for the entrees! I will definitely come back for drinks, desserts, and appetizers. As for entrees, I will need to find something different. read more

Bix is a lot of fun! I came here with a group of friends. We had made a reservation but it took awhile to get seated anyway. We ordered cocktails at the bar in the mean time. Box often has live music playing. You'll see a lot of people dressed up in suits and ladies in heels and dresses. It's an interesting format because there is some dining up stairs in kind of a vouyer style so you look over everyone. We shared some dishes so that we could try everything like the bone marrow, potatoes with caviar, and some other items to share. This place is fancy and pricey. Honestly we left hungry. My fried joked we would go to in n out after. We spent quite a bit on food and drinks that evening as we were there for a celebration. The ambiance is nice. It feels more like New York and it's great that we have a spot like this in San Francisco for the occasions you want to wine and dine. Everything was cooked perfectly and the cocktails were tasty. Service was top notch. Definitely recommend checking this spot out for an occasion. read more

Solid spot for a date or to catch up after work. I especially love the wall art in the bar area and the live jazz music. Service was smooth. We started out with the Truffled Cheese "Croques" and the Marrow Bones, then each had the Dungeoness Crab Pasta (I think it was Tagliatelle). The Truffled Cheese Croques were good, though I could probably have made these myself. The Marrow Bones were great -- definitely a sizeable portion. Given the richness of these starters, I would probably choose one or the other next time. Our main dish, however, was light enough that we weren't too stuffed when we were done. The sauce was light and loved the balance of cirtus, corn, and dungeoness crab. I would definitely come back for the food and the experience. read more

Fantastic ambiance- classy old time SF- piano player and sax without drowning out dinner conversation. Scott our waitperson was fantastic- attentive without hovering. Cocktails as always were on point and excellent wine list as well- recently discovered Sicilian wines and they had one from Mt Etna that did not disappoint. We're with a party of six and the appetizer sampler was fabulous- I have to say though thé mini sandwiches paled In comparison to the potato pillows and the deviled eggs. Entrees included the crab pasta- the greens were deemed too thick but otherwise thé pasta and crab were outstanding. Other members of the group had the hachette- aka ground beef which was good quality but the real star were the pomme frites! Lastly the bavette steak was delicious with the fresh grilled asparagus-winner!! For dessert the bananas foster was amazing- could have skipped the chocolate bread pudding since it was actually just chocolate cake and just ok.
