Exceptional(5098)
Price: Expensive
• American • Financial District / Embarcadero
Booked 48 times today
An exceptionally stylish supper club, civilized speakeasy, a sophisticated saloon. Each of these "personae" is housed in a soaring two-story interior distinguished by a gently curving mahogany bar, fluted columns with ornate capitals, stunning original art, plush banquettes, cozy booths, starched linens, glittering glasses, and polished flatware. Overall, the ambiance is pure 1930's and 1940's - tasteful art moderne reminiscent of the glory days of Cunard and French Line ships. Fashionable and glamorous are the hallmarks. Trendy is simply not a part of the BIX culture. The clientele at BIX ranges from San Francisco movers-and-shakers to "savvy travelers" - owner Doug Biederbeck's term for the many diners in the know from out of town who patronize his establishment. All of them step from the featureless alley into another world - a world of superb cookery and libations, of sparkling service, of stylish nostalgia, of polished live jazz. That world is BIX.

    We celebrated Father’s Day with brunch at Foreign Cinema. We were seated in the courtyard, and the weather was perfect for a leisurely Sunday celebration. The service was exceptional — warm, attentive, and genuinely celebratory. We ordered the Champagne French rolled omelette and the Heavenly scramble, which were phenomenal. Our server recommended the Butterscotch pot de crème for dessert, and we are so glad we listened. It was velvety-smooth, intensely flavorful, and topped with just the right amount of whipped cream and sea salt—a perfect finish to the meal. Foreign Cinema continues to prove why it’s one of San Francisco’s most beloved dining institutions. Whether it’s for Father’s Day or any special moment, this place makes you feel like the occasion truly matters.
