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.

Always solid and reliable for an excellent meal and amiable service. The upstairs dining area is much quieter, a great perch from which to enjoy the livelier atmosphere downstairs.

Great customer service, solid bar - most importantly, a great Wing Wednesday promotion! 25 cent wings with alcohol, Warriors games being broadcast throughout the place. Not my first time here, definitely won't be the last!

The Tonga Room is an absolute SF classic and something that you should experience if you have the time when you are in San Francisco. It is a great place for a special dinner or for pre/post dinner drinks. We had dinner before a show at the Orpheum, so it was quieter (before the band played). I love that it has stayed the same for so long.

Great meal, wonderful service and especially good cocktails. The penicillin (with gin, and healthy amounts of ginger) was particularly good. Pot stickers were authentically Japanese. We will definitely come back.
