It's busy serving well-made cocktails and pouring rare wines we're proud to say you probably won't find anywhere else by the glass. There are no white tablecloths. No dabbing the corners of your mouth. No pomp, but lots of circumstance. And perhaps the only reason you noticed the aforementioned is because you haven't tasted our food.

Greg was a server and was very nice and attentive. Would check in on us to make sure everything was good. Food is always amazing here. Garret at the bar as well as Blair working. What a great duo and they make such great cocktails. We enjoyed ours at the table. An extra two thumbs up also goes to Jocelyn, who recognizes us although she did not have our table

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.
