The Big 4 - San Francisc

Classic old world style, stunning ambience, professional wait staff, exceptional service all around. We’ve eaten there countless times and haven’t had a single poor experience. Makes us feel as if we’re members of a private supper club and bar.

If you like hanging out with old Republicans it's ok.

Atmosphere is beautiful old style San Francisco with dark wood and leather booths. Love the ambiance. We were here for Christmas evening so it was a pre-fixe menu with 3 options per course. Food was very expensive for the quality and quantity. I started with a mushroom risotto that was ok....just didn’t have a lot of flavor and preparation wasn’t quite there either. Wouldn’t recommend. My wife had a lobster bisque was also was ok. Bisque had a lobster flavor due to using the shells in the stock but no signs of any lobster at all. Wouldn’t recommend. I had the lamb chops which were from Colorado. They were on the small side for Colorado lamb and there were just 2 of them. I mentioned the small portion and they brought out another. The chops were very good and enjoyed them. My wife had the filet which she enjoyed but wasn’t great. Bread pudding for dessert was excellent! Service was attentive and friendly.

Fabulous dinner for four of us here. This is fine dining and you'll want to dress up for a visit to this restaurant. The restaurant itself is very traditional, old world San Francisco style. Two of us had the filet mignon, one the chicken pot pie and one the short rib dinner. We were all more than pleased with our meals. The filet mignon was over-the-top delicious! We would highly recommend the Caymus Special Edition 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon to go along with the filet mignon. If you are lucky enough to get Phil as your waiter, he'll take great care of you! We will be back!!

Unquestionable classic, still feels as good as ever. San Francisco is of course in a constant state of change, and in the landscape of today the Big 4's impeccable and unwavering old school style feels actually very refreshing.
