    Big 4 restaurant is a beautiful place. Really nice food, ambiance is perfect, rich, and charming with a history. It's expensive but pretty much worth it. The bar alone is worth a visit.

    A true old-school San Francisco institution. The decor, pianist, cocktails and fantastic Americana cuisine. A trip back to the golden ages. Must try the Cesar Salad and the Chicken Pot Pie is better than Mom can make. To die for!

    Thank you for the stars! We are very proud to serve our Chicken Pot Pie to all of our customers. We will be happy to serve you again.
