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.

    Great jazz club and restaurant with two stories. We had a table for two next to a large group of young people by the piano and base player so the sound level was loud. After the large group left we could hear each other talk and the music much better. The service was impeccable. The food was very good . The entrance is located down an alley. The young people were dressed very casually but everyone else was dressed up a little. Over all it was a great experience.

    Zingari was one of the best dining experiences my family and I had lately. We were greeted by the owner,whom offered us a nice table in their “ Venetian room”after giving us a little tour of this beautiful restaurant which has 3 characteristically different dining parlors. Our service team was friendly and very professional.My daughter wanted to have fettuccine Alfredo with chicken which is not on their menu but they made it for her and it was one of the best she ever had! My wife and I started off with a couple of their specialty cocktails,Negroni and classical spritz. Couldn’t go wrong with my “ big ice cube” Negroni.My wife said it was one of the best aperol spritz she had in San Francisco. We ordered the beef and the octopus carpaccio appetizers.Both were exceptionally good. Our main courses,Filet mignon and Rigatoni with herbed ground mild Italian sausage were just done to perfection and simply delicious. Finished off with their “ chocolate mood” which I almost ordered another one but went with the tiramisu instead.Both desserts were superb. We will definitely come back and recommend visiting Zingari.

    I loved it ! I celebrated my birthday with my parents Of course! Dining at Mastro’s was an exquisite experience from start to finish. I indulged in the 12oz fillet, which was flawlessly cooked to a tender perfection, exuding rich, savory flavors. The mashed potatoes were smooth and creamy, while the mac & cheese was delicious. & of course I treated myself to the butter cake—a decadent masterpiece that was perfectly moist and delicately sweet. The service was impeccable, with attentive and courteous staff ensuring a seamless dining experience. Mastro’s delivers culinary excellence in an elegant setting, and I eagerly anticipate my next visit.

    We ordered drinks, which came promptly and were good. Both of us had jambalaya. It was quite tasty. The show started somewhat late, so we had time for another round of drinks. Once the show started, and during and after the show, service was less available. It took us a bit of time to get our check, but we were able to chat with the performers, so it was fun. The parking discount at the Mason-Ellis garage worked out well. We highly recommend Biscuits and Blues for dinner and a show! We'll definitely be back.
