Ami AMarch 24, 2017The service was superb! The food itself wasn't my favorite, but I would go back because everyone was so nice :)
Jesse AtkinsonJuly 4, 2013For 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-DelerueSeptember 25, 2016Dark, secluded, jazzy. Speakeasy vibe and great food at this SF classic. Take your visitors and parents here.
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).
Astrid BaezJuly 9, 2015Give yourself sometime and enjoy a drink at the bar. Amazing atmosphere, fantastic service. Excellent dining experience.
Eden AntosJune 1, 2012A 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.
EaterDecember 1, 2010Tucked 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]- Kelly 🍰October 6, 2012Get 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!
Rob HavasyJuly 10, 2015Classic 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.
Kuo-yu LiangJuly 1, 2021Both the lamb chop, and the cucumber salad were delicious. We had an excellent German Riesling and the atmosphere was classic old school.
Tablet HotelsFebruary 26, 2013A 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.
Tara AmatoNovember 13, 2011bix 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!!!
Beautiful old school, sophisticated atmosphere. You feel like wearing your pearls and ordering a martini. The deviled eggs are phenomenal.
Larry HallSeptember 18, 2012Bone 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
Brian StraussJune 1, 2015A mainstay on my personal "martini trail". Love the classic SF cocktail atmosphere. Love the potato and caviar puffs.
Nespresso USADecember 10, 2012Located 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!

Misha McGinleyMay 1, 2022Deviled eggs were ridiculous delicious! Had the chicken and hash and it was creative, delicious and a fun dish!
Tracey BoltonNovember 6, 2013Very cool, darkly lit, old timey San Francisco speakeasy. Upscale and spendy! Everything was impeccable from the cocktails to the service.
SFGate ManagerJuly 16, 2012You 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 CJune 7, 2015Great interior decor, makes you want to dress up to fit in. Impressive service. A good place for a special occasion.
Tim PerzykApril 6, 2013Great, old-style steakhouse tucked away in a random alley. Get the deviled eggs to start.
Peter BergSeptember 25, 2014Has an old school jazz club vibe. Fish dishes are great, esp. the whole roasted fish if it's on the menu.
Sonia HSIJuly 23, 2011This 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!!
The steak tartare is to die for. Amazing ambience and food.
- Mark McElligottJanuary 25, 2015Steak tartare & warm chocolate brioche bread pudding were superb. Excellent wine recommendation by our waiter
- Keith WilsonOctober 9, 2017Great staff (except luke warm hostess), great cocktails, good atmosphere, live music. Small portions and way over priced average food. Go to Wayfare instead.
Brendan CurranOctober 26, 2015Great 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 PondOctober 13, 2013Make reservations early, great ambiance loved the lobster spaghetti and the ginger lemon margarita
Food & WineApril 20, 2011This 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.
heatJuly 19, 2013Tucked 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.
Colleen DourneyJuly 23, 2012"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."
Ashley NelsonDecember 27, 2012Amazing vegetarian meal, it's not on the menu, but oh so good! Ask about it!
Nicole ElyJune 3, 2012The steak tartar and potato pillows are amazing! Love the French 77 cocktail also.
Scott ArchambaultOctober 9, 2011Steak tartare and salmon tartare are excellent. Don't miss the truffle fries and bananas foster as well.
Michel Al-MoumenAugust 18, 2013Creamed spinach - hands down most delicious I've ever had, and I don't say that lightly
Alicia HarmonApril 5, 2011The pork shoulder is beyond incredible. Melts in your mouth. Butterscotch chocolate brownie was not what I expected but also very good.
John Fernandez SFJune 2, 2012I'm such a speakeasy fan. Love the food. One of my top 5 in SF. Visit me at www.personaltrainingSF.com- Ami AApril 14, 2017Good service, although pricey for the quality of food. Mom and pop shops could do it better.
Gabe RoseJanuary 22, 2012Highly recommend the fish special or pork. Lamb burger app is also fantastico.
