Get in the holiday spirit with dinner at the Big 4 Restaurant and Messiah at Grace Cathedral.

American Bach Soloists, led by Artistic & Music Director Jeffrey Thomas, present their annual performances of Handel’s masterpiece, Messiah, in one of San Francisco’s most awe-inspiring, sacred spaces. A Bay Area holiday tradition now in its 20th consecutive year, ABS’s performances of Handel’s timeless work attract music lovers from around the world.

With its stern oil portraiture, wood-paneled walls, green leather and open fireplace, The Big 4 transports diners back to the city’s early 20th-century golden age. The restaurant honors the 'Big Four' railroad barons who built mansions on San Francisco's Nob Hill, and is attached to the Scarlet Huntington Hotel (named after magnate Henry Huntington).
