I was highly disappointed after my dinner at Bix. I had heard from many people for a long time that this was a great place. Now, I can agree only if we are talking about ambience and how it can be romantic , if not so crowded. My boyfriend and I can only agree on the potatoes, with cream and I think caviar was the best. The beef tartar was so-so and so was the spicy shrimp. For the price and three weeks I waited to eat here, I'll not be repeating.
Pros: ?
Cons: food was average

my husband and i were recommended this place by our concierge, and we had a really nice dinner there. the decor is a bit art deco, the piano playing is also a nice touch. we had something that resembled tater tots with black caviar on them as an appetizer, not bad, the foie gras was a little disappointing though. the lobster spaghetti was tasty and al dente, but the kobe wasn't as tender as it should've been. for dessert we had the bananas foster which was great. drinks are strong too. service was nice, but a bit slow.
Pros: strong drinks, good dessert, nice ambience
Cons: service slow

My boyfriend and I were in town from Chicago in Jan. , and had a wonderful time back this year. Bix does such a nice job recreating the speakeasy - the jazz trio on the weekend is great, the beautiful two-tier room, low-lighting, great cocktails and food made for an incredible evening out. Our server was very attentive and though we were late for our reservation, were seated promptly.

If you enjoy having the wait staff repeatedly walk by your table while your drinks are empty, this is the place for you. My experience was that the waitress was not trained well at all. You had to ask about the specials. It was difficult throughout the night to get her attention. But beyond the bad service, the food here is rather forgettable. There is nothing about the food which makes me or anyone who visited with me think we ever need to go back.
Cons: service

We arrived before the dinner section of the restaurant was open; they sat us at a table in the bar area and offered us drinks until it was all ready. The waiter was very affable, even anecdotal, as he told us of the background of the resturant. Though pricey and not the most creative, the food was saporous and reflected the environment of the restaurant nicely. It was an absolutely charming and fun experience.
Pros: setting, drinks
Cons: price

The resturant was perfect for a romantic evening. Which my boyfriend and I had. The service was great our waiter was very helpful and polite. The food could have been better. I think we spent way too much for what we had. The only thing good about it was the my sparkling wine and appetizer which was the morrocan kabob. I wish we went for pizza instead.

We were greeted graciously and escorted to a lovely table upstairs with a view of the restaurant. Unfortunately it took 10 minutes before anyone took our drink order. We enjoyed some savory hor-d'oeuvres, but the martinis were miniscule and for three people our martini bill was $108 for four rounds. Dinner was good but lacked luster. Desert and cheese plate were fine but does it take a rocket scientist to make this stuff?? All in all I think this restaurant is overrated and for $500 for three people you better take out a bank loan before you go.
Pros: Atmosphere

Went to Bix for a one-year anniversary, and everything went quite well. Service was great, food was delicious and the wine menu complete. Overall a great evening.
Pros: Food, Service, Martini

We'll be back in town visiting family in November and can't wait to go back to celebrate my bday!
Pros: Atmosphere, music, lighting

I heard that the bananas foster was fantastic, so I made 9:30 reservations to take my nieces to have it. When we were seated and I asked for the dessert menu, the host informed us that the tables were primarily for dinner, so were asked to move to the very crowded bar. I refused to order dessert until there were 3 seats available. A different host checked in on us, and I informed him of the situation. He apologized and found us a table 30 minutes later. I understand that dinner is what brings in the money, but a meal's a meal and I'm paying no matter what. I guess I'll have to make later reservations next time...that's if I go back.
Pros: Dessert
