About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Romantic
  • Great for live music
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.

    Love the ambiance (booths - why doesn’t every restaurant have them) and fun atmosphere. Great place for us to catch up with our friends. Loved the whole experience from the hostesses and bar/cocktails to desert.

    Great Time. Got there early to avoid rush. Service could have been more engaged for it being my first dining experience at Bix. Food was outstanding.

    Ambiance and music were nice. But food was mediocre and service was pretty lousy. Disappointing.

    The entire experience was outstanding. It is a wonderful place for a celebration. Our waiter was attentive and gave us several good suggestions. The stand out dishes were the bone marrow, the trout plus the duck. Just a wonderful experience.
