Best Live Music Restaurants in SOMA

This place is a gem that we passed by many times thinking it was a tourist trap- WRONG! A very acceptable alternative to Sam’s or Tadich in old school SF establishments with high quality fish and great attentive service. As a 40 year SF local, I highly recommend John!’s

This is a great spot for a special occasion and seems to be a hidden gem. Highly recommend the Bix and my wife and I will be returning.

The restaurant's interior is beautiful. The service was excellent and so was the food. The noise level was much too high, so only four stars. Lunch is served late so next time we will reserve a table a little later to avoid the lively lunch crowd. Otherwise, this was a lovely experience.

We always have the best experience. The service is top! And the food is always so consistent and delicious! Thank you!

During a recent client gathering at Bistro 888, located within the InterContinental San Francisco, we were thoroughly impressed by the sophisticated ambiance, exceptional service, and delightful offerings.​ The lounge's contemporary design, with warm lighting and comfortable seating, provided an ideal setting for both relaxed conversations and professional engagements.​ The happy hour menu showcased a variety of artisanal cocktails and gourmet small plates. The cocktail selection was equally impressive, with unique options like the Italian Mojito and Eau De Vin, offering a refreshing twist on classic favorites.​ Service was attentive and knowledgeable, with staff ensuring our experience was seamless from start to finish.​ Bistro 888's upscale atmosphere, delectable menu, and outstanding service make it a top choice for business gatherings and social occasions.​ We look forward to returning and highly recommend it to anyone seeking a refined happy hour experience in San Francisco.
