We saw Chris Botti and an amazing group of talented musicians in this wonderful venue on a Thursday night in early January. Botti said that--even though SFJazz is only 5 years old--it has already gained a reputation among professional musicians as one of the premier locations for sound quality, audience enthusiasm, and a high fun factor in all the world. The concert was the best we've ever attended, and we had a very intimate view of the stage and the musicians and their interaction with the audience. We will never forget our experience.

Five of us went to the Marrakech for an evening of preformance art. We had no idea that we were going to be treated to an evening of laughter, wonderment and "Magic". This is not the usual "magic" show that we often see on tv, or other venues. Jay Alexander provided us with an insider's view of how one perceives information and processes it. He explained that trickery, lie detection and psychology play a huge role in his brand of "magic".The performance is held at a historic speakeasy that is decorated in the Moroccan style. While we awaited the performance, we enjoyed drinks and Moroccan appetizers in the outer lounge. Jay entertainained the seated patrons with card tricks that were a wonderful prelude to the actual show in the theater. That short period merely piqued our interest for the second half of the evenings entertainment! Space is limited for the Thursday thru Saturday double shows at 6:30 and 9:00 PM performances. There is one show on Sunday at 6:30 PM the doors open promptly at 5:30 PM for the pre show amusement and snacks, etc. Tickets for General Admission were $55 pp. and $65 for front row. It was well worth every penny for the laughs, wonder and the experience of listening and watching Jay Alexander share his love and passion for "illusions".

When on our travels we always aim to attend an operatic presentation. Thus we were thrilled that Tosca was hosted during our time here. It was a marvellous performance, with quite an international ensemble. Impressive acoustics enhanced the soaring singing. A traditional staging, there was no hint of a modern setting. The opera house is imposing with a fine facade comprising Classical forms. Inside is gorgeous with the auditorium particularly attractive.

It hardly matters what the program is (though some are better than others) nor where you sit in the auditorium. You don't even have to be a classical music lover or know much about it. An evening at the symphony is a balm for your body, soul and heart. Treat yourself, relax and take in the sounds of perfection! At our most recent visit we listened to Handel's Messiah, which was magnificent. Can't wait to return this week for another wonderful performance.

My wife and I were treated to a performance of the San Francisco Ballet. It was magic. The dancers were world class and the orchestra clearly among the best in the region. If you are looking for a night out to remember you will not be disappointed.
10. Biscuits and Blues
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 268 reviews
In San Francisco's Theater District, there’s a place where you can experience the best of America’s original artform: the blues. If you’re looking for live Blues music, look no further as you’ll find world-class musicians taking the stage at our intimate venue every night. We specialize in curating a special dinner and show experience with fantastic service for people of all ages. At a place like Biscuits and Blues, we feel the music should be enjoyed with cuisine reminiscent of the South to properly complement the sounds created on the stage; whether you’re ordering cocktails, appetizers, or a full on meal during a show. Out of our love and respect for the Blues genre, we put a great deal of thought, time, and effort into curating our lineup. After all, it’s our goal to share the Blues in its most authentic form. So get some tickets from the box office, grab a seat, and prepare for an authentic Blues music experience you won’t soon forget.
