***Best Jazz Club in the City, by San Francisco Magazine***Mr. Tipple’s is a craft cocktail bar featuring live jazz.-Reservations have a 90min time limit from reservation time. There is a $20/guest min for table serviceMr. Tipple’s heralds back to a 1950s NYC basement. Cozy. Dark. Boozy. The intimate setting features local jazz artists up close and personal. It’s a joint where you come as you are, hear great music, tap your toes, and sip a properly chilled cocktail.-My name is Mr. Tipple. Just a simple and laughable bloke hailing from London. I run a recording studio. My friends joke that you’ll oft find me spinning cocktails, not reeling tape. After a few too many, I usually just sit back and enjoy the music, having forgotten to hit record. Regardless, the band is always jiving, the whiskey is always cold, and we’re having a smashing good time.

• American • Financial District / Embarcadero
Booked 47 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.

    The service was outstanding - she was one of the better servers I have seen in any San Francisco restaurant in a while. All the appetizers were amazing - chicken pastries, lamb meatballs, scallops - very delicious and served nice and hot. Both dinner dishes - Spanish Rice and Branzino - were good. but somehow not as flavorful as the appetizers. So hopefully they punch a bit more flavors into the dinner entrees also as they have done with the appetizers.

    We were greeted by Lana at the host stand, she walked us up to the 2nd floor. One of the managers named Jesse sat us down & provided us menus. Our server Justin carefully went over the menu & mentioned some highlighted dishes. Of course we had to get the tuna tartare & the shrimp cocktail had smoking dry ice, such a wonderful presentation. We shared a porterhouse with truffle butter on top & their signature lobster mash potatoes. Luis & Edgar carefully packed up left overs and maintained table server throughout the evening. We ended our evening with a glass of the vueve champagne, the key lime pie & their seasonal lemon blueberry butter cake.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Marche last night. We each ordered different entrees and each was cooked to perfection. They were colorful, tasty and presented so artfully. I had the halibut and it was cooked just right, not overcooked. I loved the eggplant mixture that. was served on top of it. The dessert, a flourless chocolate cake was baked while we waited. It was warm and moist and topped with vanilla ice cream. It has become my favorite dessert.
