About

Established in 1976, Big 4 was named after famed railroad tycoons of 19th century who played a vital role in San Francisco’s history and early development.

Story

When the rails of the Central Pacific and the Union Pacific were joined at Promontory Point, Utah, in the Spring of 1869, the dreams of many men were realized. Four such men were the Central Pacific’s “Big Four,” C. P. Huntington, Charles Crocker, Mark Hopkins and Leland Stanford. These men started from behind the counters of pioneer stores in Sacramento and, in less than two decades, shouldered their way to places of national importance. The careers of these four covered a long and colorful era of Pacific Coast history. These men became San Francisco’s most distinguished and talked about citizens. All resided in the most elegant, lavish and exquisite mansions, surrounding the present location of the Big 4 Restaurant at The Scarlet Huntington.

The famous Big Four held center stage in San Francisco for more than a third of a century. During that entire period, there was hardly an issue of a Pacific Coast newspaper or magazine that did not contain reference to some phase of their varied activities. The Big 4 Restaurant recaptures the era when the famous Big Four reigned supreme from Nob Hill over all of San Francisco.

Used to dine here before the hotel changed hands. The last visit here a few nights ago confirmed my worst fears. The service is nowhere near what it used to be. It seemed very fake to me, as though the place was trying hard (failingly) to cling to what it was. Menu desperately needs an update. Sad.

Step into the golden era of California displayed in this beautiful bar and restaurant. The Bar captures the ambience of the "Big 4" Barons of Railroad history. We stopped in to have a cocktail and settled on the Barrel Aged Cocktails of Huntington's Negroni which has Beefeater Gin, Sweet Vermouth, Campari in an appropriate glass. The vintage leather chairs are so comfortable I wanted to take one home. We had a great time and will be back!

Delicious... My omelet was perfect... Bagel was amazing... Like fresh baked bread, light crunch outside, soft inside. Service staff was very friendly and helpful. Ambience was so tranquil and romantic in its old club house feel. Only problem was the price. $20-$40 breakfast omelets.
