The only issue was the wait time. But that can be expected at any restaurant at any given time. Staff was nice and very accommodating. The food, while kind of pricey (only because everything is a la carte') was absolutely DELICIOUS. Everything was cooked to perfection and well seasoned. The ambiance was really nice as well. I'll definitely be going back.

Great experience. It’s my first time here in Biscuit and Blues. The check in is easy: I just provided the front desk my name and he verified my reservations and issued our tickets. The venue is small but very cozy. We were able to sit at the back centered to the stage. The atmosphere was great. Everyone was enjoying the show; of course, Gunhild was fabulous! The food was so so, but we were here for the show and not for a dining experience, we were fine with it. Overall, it’s a great place, we had a great time there!

This was one of the best "occasion" dining experiences which we have had in the Bay Area in a long time. Food was flavorful, interesting and creative and served in a truly elegant and beautiful setting. (Skip the deviled eggs: they were the only exception to a truly fine meal.) Excellent setting for a date, a business meal or, in our case, a special occasion. On par with the finest restaurants in Bay Area but at a lower price point. Really cannot stress how beautiful the design of this restaurant is.
