Frommer's Review

The martini lifestyle may now be en vogue, but it was never out of style in this glamorous retro '30s-era supper club. Bix is utterly stylish, with curving mahogany paneling, giant silver pillars, and dramatic lighting, all of which sets the stage for live music and plenty of hobnobbing. Though the sleek setting has overshadowed the food in the past, the legions of diners entranced by the Bix experience don't seem to care -- and it seems as of late Bix is "on" again. Chicken hash has been a menu favorite for the past 19 years, but newer luxury comfort-food dishes -- such as caviar service, marrowbones with toast and shallot confit, steak tartare, and pan-roasted seasonal fish dishes -- are developing their own fan clubs. Bargain tip: At lunch a three-course prix-fixe menu goes for $25.
