Bix is a hidden 1930's supper club worth visiting often.

Bix Restaurant & Lounge - San Francisco, CA — 

Bix was recommended by a Sears friend during a recent trip to San Francisco, CA. We met after work and weren't quite hungry yet. While we waited for our 9pm reservation, she gave me a private tour of the Golden Gate bridge, Union Square and other neighborhoods.

Bix isn't that easy to find since it's tucked away in a financial district alleyway, but its entry is lit by a neon sign. It's a popular place - reservations are highly recommended. Plan to arrive a little early to find a parking space, unless you decide to use the valet service.

When we arrived, we were met with a dimly-lit, soaring two-story interior reminiscent of the 1930's. This venue's acoustics really made the live piano and sultry vocals come alive.

Bix is a supper club with lots of choices to appease our inner carnivore, including steak tartare. But the menu has enough variety for vegans, as well. I ordered the daily special of grilled swordfish on a bed of grilled aspargus, which was perfectly adorned with a romesco sauce. My friend ordered a combination of vegetarian appetizers and was also very pleased.

We shared desserts of panna cotta with grapefruit and a chocolate bread pudding. Overall, the experience was great from start to finish. The service was very professional and friendly. Highly recommended!

Awww Gigi, you're wonderful! I think our community members are really great! I know we need to do more to liven it up and it's all in the works. It's a little difficult to keep up with this being a puny team but as we grow, we'll get some help. Have a great weekend!

I think the interest increased once the sites split b/c people affiliated with Sears tend to be more business oriented. There's more discussion about the professional world and environment that is attached to Sears and their staff. I believe many of your newcomers are attracted to that. B/C 95% of my participation is at Viewpoints I don't see much activity here; except by way of comments that fans/friends are making to you. It seems that many are very pleased with the site and all it stands for and many have the heart of a philanthropist and what better person to confide in than you. This site seems to attract employees of Sears and/or K-Mart so many have a common goal--to improve the workplace for both employees and consumers. And because many are affiliated with Sears and/or K-Mart I believe they may have a greater sense of belonging to a "family".

Mickey, you are truly making a difference in the MY Sears community. I consider it a privelege to be friends with you. I do hope that you might stop by Viewpoints every once in a while. You can work from 9-5 and then come to the "party zone."

Here's wishing the best day of your life! I'm taking my best friend's daughter to see the Hannah Montana movie this afternoon. Halie is only 5 and so excited. I already saw the movie Friday night and it was awesome!

Take care and many hugs and warm thoughts are being sent to you.

Something to think about as you encounter a diverse population: "We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors...but they all have to learn to live in the same box." xoxoxo, Gigi

Yep I was there for business but barely got to see anything. Any sightseeing happened in one night's time. So what do you think about the new influx of members?

I can't believe you got to see the Golden Gate Bridge--that is so cool! I would have skipped the meal to continue the tour but then again everyone knows that food doesn't mean that much to me.

Someday I'm going to make a trip to CA with my brother. He owns his own trucking company and goes out there about 2x a year and keeps inviting me to go but the timing is never right.

Sounds like you had a great time in SF but I'm glad you're back home all safe and sound! ~Gigi
