In addition to nightly dinners, Bix is also open for Lunch on Fridays.

Barmen mix myriad libations with classic cocktails such as Martinis and Sidecars. Bix's wine list offers everything from premium Cabernets and Champagnes to vintage by the glass values. After dinner, patrons savor an aged Eau de Vie, a rare Cognac or a snifter of Mendocino brandy blended by Biederbeck himself.

Bix 60 reviews (510) 768-7082 56 Gold St San Francisco, CA 94133 www.bixrestaurant.com Write a Review Edit Business \| Upload Photo \| E-mail to Friend	Editorial Description by Citysearch The Scene A high-ceilinged, two-story dining room rich with details draws business lunchers, but the joint is better cast as a leisurely pit stop for a Rat Packer and his dolled-up date. The long mahogany bar is impossible to ignore, and cocktails both classic and inventive are a strong suit. The '30s supper-club theme extends to the service, which is knowledgeable and precise; it's a joy to watch the waiter compose a steak tartare or bananas Foster tableside. The Food Updated renditions of American supper-club fare reign here, with a few twists and the occasional dip into regional cuisine; the results are usually satisfying, if not quite transcendent. Roast quail with potato-and-olive ravioli is succulent and creative. Try the inch-thick potato pancake, delightfully crispy, with smoked salmon and creme fraiche, or the juicy and iconic club burger, draped with bacon. Rated 7.0 out of 10 by Citysearch.

Off the beaten track in San Francisco. 5 By Ian w. \| Insider \| Rank: 27,791 Bix Down an alley which if you don't know how to get there will be an adventure in itself is the restaurant BIX. One of the finest restaurants in the San Francisco area. Great decor, great food and a beautiful mural behind the oak bar sets this eatery apart from all others. Hop in a taxi, tell him to take you to Gold's Alley and discover another world of fine dining. Highly recommended!! Posted 09/05/08 \| Printable Version Was this review helpful to you?

If you are new to the City its a bit hard to find but tucked in an alley in the Jaskson Square neighborhood is the unassuming entrance of BIX. The restaurant has live jazz nightly and the food is out of this world. This is THE place for an initimate dinner with a great group of friend or family. Thanks for the great time! Pros: The perfect blend of service, cuisine and atmosphere. Cons: none Posted 04/06/09 Incredibly poor service and unaccomodating staff - for a good restaurant, you'll need to go elsewhere By jeffwilks Extremely poor service, terrible attitudes, non-welcoming environment, and tier-3 wait staff - with as many great restaurants as there are in the city (next time go to Boulevard, Jardiniere, Aqua...or any other), Bix should fall off of anyone's list as a restaurant option. The staff at Bix is just flat out rude... From the unpleasant and unaccomodating host/hostesses, to waiters with major attitudes purely focused on how much and how fast you order so as to maximize their tip potential. I would highly recommend that anyone considering this restaurant, very much reconsider - you will be incredibly disapointed. Posted 11/08/08 Wonderful and romantic dining experience! By AmandG My husband and I just had dinner here the other night, and the restaurant and the atmosphere did not disappoint! We made reservations on Open Table. We arrived 10 minutes early, had one drink at the bar as we waited for our table we were then whisked away to our table (upstairs!) This place reminds me of a 30's-40's supper club, very romantic. A little loud, but what restaurant in San Francisco isn't?! I had the Risotto with Lobster which was delicious! My husband had steak (typical right?!) Anyway, this place has it all! Attentive wait staff, great food! and a romantic atmposphere. They also have valet parking(which felt like we were in a movie, because of this restaurants location in an alley, Gold alley!) Well this place is gold! My husband and I will be back! Pros: Romantic dining, great people watching spot (especially upstairs!) Great food, amazing Wine list! Cons: Can't think of one (maybe a little loud, but again where isn't it in San Francisco?) Posted 08/13/08 Poor service By WhiteSnow Probably the worst service we ever had in the Bay area. The waitress was extremely cold and unfriendly. Seemed more motivated to assist a table of 8 than ours. Our cocktail was wisked off the table before it was empty, bread was never replenished, had to ask for the wine list after the first drink was removed and she never came to check if the entree was ok. The food was mediocre for the price with flavor combinations that didn't quite work for us (like sweet corn with fish). The table arrangement, music and room was nice. Posted 06/07/08 Wonderul restaurent experience By lmaddipati This is a great resturent. I've been here a few times and it's exceptional in ambiance and style. I always leave satisfied with my meals. It's a great place to show off the beauty and charm of this city and the excellent food it is know for. I think it's great for groups and out of town guests. Posted 06/30/07
