Don't charge tax on a 5% mandate. Add that AFTER tax (which should've been $13.63)

The HOSTESS (Candace), the AMBIANCE/LIGHTING, the ANNIVERSARY CARD, and the STIFF POUR were the best thing about the restaurant, and the reason for four stars. But the food is three stars at best, and our service was spotty. The garlic fries didn't taste like garlic. The charred broccolini wasn't charred. The macaroni and cheese was bland and not cheesy. The steak burger was fine. The chicken pot pie had a great topping, but the filling was watery soup so flavorless we had to ask for salt and pepper. The Diet Coke (no refills offered) was flat. We don't know what the sourdough rolls we ordered tasted like because we never got them. We didn't even finish the oddly-textured budino. The hostess, ambiance, and pour were outstanding, but the food gets the Big Four out of Ten.

Meetup with hubby after work. The Huntington Hotel The Big Four Host - Leanne, she was amazing. She got me a table in front the musical piano. Server - Emma, she has the best retro hair design and great personality. Helped me pick out our drinks. So fun. Big 4 Martini Great Goose Vodka, St. George Velley Gin, Manzanilla Sherry, Dry Vermont, Yuzu Bitters Grey Goose Vodka Soda - Extra Lime So relaxing with live piano playing. The deco of the place has such great paintings with beautiful fresh flowers. A must visit.

Very impressed. I hadn't heard about this restaurant until recently. This venue is a well known traditional SF spot. I met a couple who got engaged years ago. The hotel and venues all were shut down in 2020 and reopened this year in March (2026). The bar has wonderful seating and cocktails tables surrounding it. A grand piano with live music sets the mood with oysters, pot pies (can't wait to try), steaks, fries, and more. The service here is pronominal, options for cocktails and beverages were abundant. They have a private room which can host up to 24 guests. Can't wait to come back to grab a drink and food.

Came here after an early Valkyries game with no reservation. We got a seat but it was pretty packed! It's deceptively bigger than it looks and can hold a lot of people. I love the decor. It's old-timey and historical and I love the live piano music. The bar is a vibe. The clientele seemed to be some business dinners, one family, a few dates, and definitely skewed older, classic SF. The bread was extra but was delicious. Drinks were strong and honestly cheaper than I thought they'd be (but only by a little.) Chicken pot pie was quite good. The menu does mention the $7 extra charge for adding sherry, which I declined. It was hearty and had a lot of vegetables. My partner enjoyed the burger (which does not come with fries--those are extra.) Our server was wonderful. Cannot recommend the service enough! Will be back with my parents. It's pricey, but a vibe.

Chicken Pot Pie
Kunalan S.

The Big Four is just oozing with ambiance. Swanky, dark, and upscale, with amazing service to boot. Unfortunately, the food was a bit of a mixed bag. I'd still visit again to try their cocktails and maybe sample some of their other items though. Burrata Excellent execution. Juicy heirloom tomatoes, balanced by pistachios and in-season peaches. Whats not to love? Corn Carbonara While not known for their pasta, I decided to give The Big Four's seasonal pasta a try. On paper this seemed like it would be a big hit. Sadly, this dish fell flat on it's face. It felt like a hodge-podge of flavors, with the sweet corn overpowering all other components. It became tiresome to eat overtime. Chicken Pot Pie The restaurants star item, and for good reason. Herbaceous, light, but hearty at the same time. The ideal chicken pot pie for me. My only minor complaint is that I wish there were a bit more pastry. Cobbler They weren't serving the creme brulee, but the cobbler was a great replacement. The tart plums were perfect!

The interior of the restaurant is stunning, featuring dark wood-paneled walls, a green ceiling, and English plaid carpeting that evokes the feel of the Polo Bar in New York City. Our reservation ensured we were promptly seated, and the live pianist in the bar added a lovely, upscale ambiance. However, the seating felt tight as tables are set close together. The menu is quite limited, offering about five entrées, two salads, a soup, and a wide selection of oysters. Everything is à la carte, even the bread, which costs $12--something typically complimentary at most restaurants. My husband and I shared the Louis salad, which came with four small lettuce wedges, asparagus pieces, and Thousand Island dressing. While there was no seafood included without an additional charge, the greens were crisp, the asparagus fresh, and the dressing flavorful. For my entrée, I ordered the chicken pot pie. It was excellent, generously filled with chicken pieces, carrots, celery, and pearl onions in a delicate, savory sauce. I accepted the offer to add a drizzle of sherry sauce, only to later find it was a $7 upcharge--something the menu did not mention. We finished with the chocolate Boudin for dessert, which was wonderfully creamy, rich, and not overly sweet. Overall, the food was high-quality and delicious, though the pricing structure and extra charges felt a bit steep for the experience. While it was an enjoyable experience, I may try other restaurants in San Francisco the next time I am in town before heading back.

Good Morning Nob Hill
Noah C.

We were lucky enough to stay in the Huntington Hotel so we had this beautiful restaurant in our lobby. The big 4 was truly one of the most stunning restaurants I've had the chance to dine in. We had breakfast here every day of our stay and were so impressed with everything. The service was excellent and was refilling our coffee frequently. In terms of food, the Good Morning Nob Hill (2 eggs, toast, bacon, and potatoes) while traditional was executed perfectly. Another morning I tried the lemon ricotta pancakes and they were the best I've ever had. This place is also great for a cocktail at night if there's spots left at the bar, as they had a pianist playing to set the perfect vibe.

Overall B: Saturday celebratory jazz lunch, at this lovely wood paneled steakhouse. Interesting menu, we had crab benedict and classic bloody marys. Dressy, comfy, affordable, mediocre service.

I'm gonna give them a 3 as it was overall just OK, but I'm optimistic they can get it together. Ambience is top-notch. It's almost worth it just for the old school vibe. Service was technically good although the waiter was oddly offputting and mechanical with us. He was busy, so maybe he was just overworked but I don't think so. He was just kind of unpleasant which made our experience feel a little subpar. We have learned from experience to pace our ordering because even in nice restaurants servers have a tendency to bring you everything all at once. This clearly annoyed the server and maybe that's what set him off with us. Hard to say. There was a second guy who checked in on us who appeared to be another waiter who was very personable and friendly and solicitous. You all need more of that kind of talent in this place. The bussers were good at the beginning of the evening, but by the end of the evening I had no water left in my glass and no one noticed. When we got there, there was no one at the host station so that was awkward - we sort of stood around in this space waiting for someone to notice us. She eventually showed up and indicated we could try to chase a seat at the bar while we waited because we were early. We managed to get a seat, and I had to sit next to a very strange patron who was not ordering anything, but asking other people for samples of their food and drinks and asking weird questions. It was very uncomfortable. I'm not sure exactly what they could've done about it but maybe if people aren't ordering food they shouldn't be allowed to sit there taking up space? Hard to handle that stuff but it's sort of set the off tone for the whole evening. The food itself was fine, but unmemorable. Very pricey. The drinks were good. We'll probably give them another try in a few months and see how it's coming together.

Burger
Robert M.

Very anxious to see results of remodel. Very happy to see they kept the luxe look and feel - still feels like Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart may stroll on at any moment. To be fair, we ate weekend lunch. Burger still very good but might want to go back to more classic bun, and not sure about the chopped lettuce, tomato, and onion. Like to get texture on those items. Friend did the prime rib dip - also very good. I feel the surroundings, ambiance, and service all help to bring experience up a notch. Great special spot to bring visitors.

Chicken pot pie is back!!!

WELCOME BACK BIG 4! For all of you who've been anticipating the reopening of the Big 4 Restaurant (located on the ground floor inside the Huntington Hotel), I'm thrilled to report that the long wait is finally over! The Big 4 closed in March 2020 and has remained closed ever since. Yes, that's 6 YEARS people! 6 years of missing, reminiscing, longing, & wishing! After a multimillion dollar renovation & ownership change, they have reopened their doors at last. Officially reopening to the public on 3/17/26, they have been open to hotel guests for the last several days. Being neighbors, we were honored with a dinner reservation for Monday night, 3/16/26 (soft opening?). So...I can attest that the interior & the ambiance has been lovingly kept in tact. The dark wood, the green leather, the live piano music, the history on the walls, the fireplace...all the majestic elements are gratefully still in play. It even still has that same fantastic & fabulous smell! Like that new car smell I swear my baby (Miata) still has. And after the interior check, the next priority was the menu check. That is, the status of the chicken pot pie. Quick fact; the chicken pot pie was the star of the menu here before the 2020 pandemic closure. So much so in fact, that when it was (unwisely) removed from the menu, people from far & wide spoke their utter dissatisfaction, and you know what happened? They brought it back. Yes. Back by popular demand. Of course the chicken pot pie is still on the menu. Whewww! And of course I ordered it! And for all you non chicken folks, now there's a mushroom pot pie as well. Hubs ordered the pork chop. Comes w parm garlic fries. Oddly, the fries came after our meal had been served, rather than plated with the chop. The chop was impressive looking with the flavor to match. Remember, you can always taste quality. Oy, could it be the pot pie is even better than before? Yes! I'm saying yes it is! It seems larger too! Golden crust. Positively chock full of chicken and veggies, perfectly seasoned. I particularly enjoyed the sprinkling of sea salt on the crust. Really a nice touch. I feel like I'm giving my favorite child some constructive criticism, & I really don't want to upset the kitchen because I do love it here. Always have. But one thing I just have to voice...maybe too many pearl onions...? Ok yes. Too many pearl onions in the pot pie. My husband agreed, so see, it's not just me! Please don't hate us! Ok one more thing; the amount of time it took for our order to arrive was almost a half hour. That seemed excessive on a night that half of the restaurant was empty. But, our server came over & announced that our order would be out shortly, seemingly reading our minds just before we felt the need to inquire. This was also the night before they were officially open to the public, so it's understood that some kinks are inevitable, & will be for a while. REALLY MISSED YOU Big 4. You've been one of my favorite spots in the city since my first visit 20 years ago. Jeffrey was behind the bar then, & gratefully he still is!!! I, along with a million other folks, are thrilled that you're back! 4 & 1/2 stars

You have arrived.   Excellence awaits you.
Elizabeth S.

I had dinner here years ago before the recent remodel but never sat at the bar. The three of us arrived before five and decided to unwind with some cocktails with Jefferey behind the bar. The patrons at the bar were a combination of hotel guests and locals- all friendly and nice to chat with. Since, the bar is quite small, there's lounge seating with small tables in this elegant, dramatically lit restaurant. The three of us browsed through the menu and decided to order some raw oysters, Caesar salad and their infamous chicken pot pie. We ordered a refreshing bottle Sancerre to go with. Everything was perfect. The oysters were tasty and fresh. -loved the horseradish + cocktail sauce and their champagne mignonette sauce to go with! The Caesar Salad was simple and a good portion to share with the three of us. The chicken pot pie was definitely the best I've ever had and not a heavy dish. There was a perfect mix of ingredient and morsels of shredded chicken inside. As I recall indulging in this pot pie, my mouth gets watery. This was a nice refresher returning to the Big Four. I've always loved the classic interiors and elegance of this restaurant. Their menu looks so enticing. I look forward to taking a seat in the newly remodeled dining room next time after some cocktails at the bar.

Came on a whim since we were gonna see the Aura show at Grace Cathedral which was just across the street. It was rather dance so we decided to go in and ask if there was a dress code because we definitely didn't have our fancy clothes on. Though happy to say the hostess was nice and cheery and informed us that there was not a dress code but were fully booked but we could sit at the bar area which served the full menu and it was first come first serve. We sat at a little table and the server was very nice and very knowledgeable on the drink and food menu. The food was expensive but it was very good and the sides are all separate. We got the pork chop on a bed of mashed potatoes. It was a huge portion and very good. We god the mac and cheese which could easily serve 2 people and the raviolis. Everything was very good. They even had a pianist playing some toons which was pretty cool. It is attached to a hotel so had people from the hotel and outside crown. Not a bad place to fall into.

All the food was great and the value was there too. A 14-16oz ribeye for $75 and they included a free side of mashed potatoes. The grilled peaches and apricots in the salad were really good and was a light course before our heavy main. What kept this from being a 5 star was some miscues in service. We waited over 45 min for our mains due to some miscommunication. There was a party that sat 20 min after us and they got their mains (the same steak special) before we did. My wife had to ask what happened to our mains and the server apologized and tried to make it right with us. I don't think the service mishap is a reason to not come back, but we might ask for updates sooner next time. Overall, I thought the food was good, pricing was reasonable, and I'd recommend it for a low stress date night

It was truly a unique flavor combination and the warm banana bread was suuper tasty. Our favorite of the night was the hangar steak -- they truly nailed the cook on it and it was buttery and well seasoned. Although apart from the steak, I would say their apps/small plates are probably the most interesting/best parts of the menu. If we came back, we'd definitely stick to ordering a bunch of small plates and drinks instead. I wasn't particularly impressed with the fried rice, tomato dish, or burrata, they were boring and bland imo, didn't add much value to the meal - we could have done without. The drinks were great, as was the dessert. I would come here again for just vibes, oysters, and steak.

You give me a Calabrian chili sauce and it's guaranteed to make me happy and this shrimp with sweet corn was no exception. Again, light but a punchy flavor that was enjoyable. I could go on and on about the different dishes we tried but the real standout of the night was the pork tenderloin with chorizo and peaches. The sweetness from the peaches somehow managed to enhance the flavor of the chorizo. This dish gives you a bold, savory and sweet bite all together but still won't have you feeling super heavy. The portion size is perfect. Im hoping to return soon for another exquisite meal.

M E N U Small New American Menu: Small bites (salad, deviled eggs, mini crab rolls, etc), spreads w/ pita bread, burger, fried chicken, fish & chips, steak frites, etc. They advertise food and drink specials for the event but there was none. No HH either. 5% SF surcharge (not noted on menu). D R I N K S Limited spirit selection; wish they carried more small-batch brands. * Grey Whale Gin, shaken ($16) * Grey Whale Gin w/ club soda ($18 x3): Very stiff! Worth the $. * Diet Coke ($5 x3) A P P S * Grilled Pork Belly Skewers w/ miso glaze, pickled mustard seeds (2 pc-$12) Rich, tender, and not overly fatty. The miso's umami didn't come through so it was a bit bland. * Smoked Salmon Rillettes w/ dill, chives, pita ($12) Umm, I'm all for negative space but could they not find a smaller bowl so the rillette doesn't look half eaten? Lol! That aside, this was BOMB! The pita tasted housemade - served piping hot and perfectly chewy with a soft, fluffy interior. Slathered with the rich, creamy smoked salmon spread...it was so delicious. * Fries ($9) Can't go wrong with a huge platter of hot McD type fries. S E R V I C E Welp, this would have been a 5 star review but someone killed the vibes. Most of the staff was friendly, and our server was excellent - very attentive and efficient with drinks and apps arriving quickly. Unfortunately, as we were on our last round of drinks (I had a full cocktail left), a male staff came over and told us they need the table back in 10 minutes, and our server immediately brought the check. I was confused esp since there were two empty tables nearby and he didn't approach the other table that was seated around the same time as us. I later found the fine print on my rezzies about the 2-hour table max which wasn't mentioned when we were seated. Regardless, we still had about 30 mins left. Afterwards, I spoke with Mia at the hotel's front desk. She was very apologetic, looked into the situation right away, and kindly offered a round of drinks on our next visit. A M B I A N C E Chic and trendy with a cute glass-enclosed solarium, and sweeping views of DT and the city's skylines. Mix of tables and lounge areas with firepits and heat lamps (it's windy tho!). Clean restrooms. It was great seeing a diverse crowd for the R&B event...a refreshing change from the usual AI/Tech Bro scene in the city. P A R K I N G Limited street parking (we found parking around the corner before 5 pm). Valet is $80. Overall, we had a great time at R&B Wednesday, and I thought the prices were fair for solid apps and drinks...for a rooftop bar. It was disappointing that our evening was cut short tho. Would love to return before it's over in October but that interaction left a bad impression.

Views: 10/10 Service : 9/10…read moreFood: 8/10 Drinks: 10/10 I was finally able to make it over to this place. As a rooftop connoisseur, this place was on my list for a while. I will say that this place is absolutely stunning and beautiful compared to a lot of others San Francisco rooftops that I have visited. This is located into the tenderloin, so please be aware that you will have to find your own street parking but parking a garage is preferred. This place has stunning views nonetheless, it's very chill and in a relaxing setting. The music is not overpowering, which is nice enough to have a conversation without having it overly crowded with 50 other people around you. I've definitely been back here a few times to take other friends and family and I will continue to do so. There are also heaters outside when it's very cold, chilly and windy. The staff is amazing as they are also willing to accommodate you and give you blankets if needed. Can't wait to go back!
