4.7
Exceptional(4969)
Price: Expensive
• American • Financial District / Embarcadero
Booked 46 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.

    My husband and I go to Bix nearly every year for our anniversary, and it never disappoints. We love the deviled egg appetizer, the soups, and all the entrees we’ve tried. Last night the chocolate brioche bread pudding was the perfect way to end our evening.

    Holiday tea is always a family favorite! The tea sandwiches and desserts were not great this year! All of them were dry and flavorless! Tea was good! Service great!

    Wonderful experience and highly recommend if you like a Polynesian ambience and live band. Better if you have a couple of Zombie drinks and groove to the 70s and 80s music. Come with some fun loving uninhibited party animals.and you’ll have a great time!

    A group of us, 8 in all, visited the Top of the Mark this past Saturday, Nov 16, 2024, and had an absolutely terrific time dancing and listening to Carla Helmbrecht (what talent!). The dance floor was filled with peeps (we loved dancing to "Fly Me To The Moon" and "The Way You Look Tonight"! The view on the 19th floor was breathtaking. The sky was perfectly clear and we could see bridge to bridge, Salesforce Tower, the Pyramid, Sutro Tower, Alcatraz - amazing! The table service was attentive without being intrusive, as always. The appetizers and cocktails were deeeelish. We've been going to the Top of the Mark for over 15 years and it hasn't lost one step in charm and fun. A great spot for date night, a party, as special gathering or an evening, solo!
