• American • Financial District / Embarcadero
Booked 40 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.

    The service was fantastic! I could go on and on about how excellent our waitress, Tatiana, was, and how fast and professional the other staff were! They worked really well together and it was as pleasure to see. The views were great! The food was okay. It lacked seasoning, so it was pretty meh and bland, although beautifully presented and cooked well. For example, my braised short ribs were ABSOLUTELY tender, but there was hardly a particle of salt in them, so the flavor of the meat was absent. (The sweet potato fries were spot on though!)

    I LOVE the Angler! It is such a great spot in San Francisco. Located along the embarcadero, the ambiance inside and outside the restaurant is great. I have dined here at least times now, and have not had a bad dish. The wine/cocktail menu is great, with a good selection of mocktails as well. Dishes to highlight from 13Jan: embered oyster starter, radicchio salad, hen of the woods mushrooms, skate wing, full chicken (the BBQ sauce it's served with is so good), and of course the sundae and chocolate bar dessert. We tried the frog legs as well as they are always on the menu, and I never order them. The flavor was incredible, and the fry on them was also very nicely done. Worth trying at least once, even if it's not your thing. I already can't wait to go back! Service is always great, very friendly and personable staff to make the dining experience more fun. I would love to see the chili crusted sea bass make it back to the menu, as well as the antelope (venison?) tartare, as that was also delicious.

    This is a classy, top notch dining experience in Sausalito. Worth the drive, as the food is excellent and the ambiance hard to beat. Old world charm oozes from every wooden sconce lit booth. We shared a meal with very dear foodie friends here and they were duly impressed with everything.
