Absolutely stunning, inventive, and beautifully crafted dishes. It was truly a journey through spring and impeccable culinary artistry. The service and wine recommendations were outstanding as well. This place is a must visit in San Francisco, and stands apart from many other fine dining restaurants in this region.
What an experience! I loved everything about this place. The tasting menu almost had a story, and each dish was dedicated to her own mother and someone close to her I believe. The presentation was out of the ball park and such an eye candy. It’s about enjoying the marriage of different ingredients creating intricate flavors. The servers were humorous and friendly. Two servers came to our table often and we had a great conversation with them. It was like a royal treatment. It was my husband’s bday dinner and they gave him a card signed by the staff and a small bday desert. We both don’t drink alcohol, but they offered good selections of NA wine. I strongly recommend it.
What a night! Absolutely beautiful food, service, and location. Literally everything was rock solid. Came with a friend for a girl's night. Service started swiftly and the pacing was just right, unrushed, but never lingering too long. Every dish was really unique and we had so many favorites. The crudo was fresh and clean, the scallop was perfect and tender, the squab was just perfect, the mouse donut was bizarrely wonderful. Dessert was clean and cool and just completely light after it all. The staff was amazing and my friend said the wine pairing and discussion with each team (most of them being sommeliers) was great. 10/10 would gladly come again. Best food and experience of our girls trip so far.
We have visited Nightbird 13 times in the past two years; the last time being December 31st 2025. Hands-down, it is our very favorite restaurant in San Francisco for dinner (we love Foreign Cinema for lunch / brunch). The tasting menu is out-of-this-world, Chef Kim does an incredible job of crafting delicious dishes in a way that some Michelin starred restaurants cannot. There's a couple of staple dishes that always appear on the menus, despite the seasonal rotations, there's clearly a reason for that - they are expertly constructed and very tasty. Being attached to the Linden Room Bar allows you to select from a wide-range of beverages from the with a cocktail menu as you settle into the night. Both venues have their own distinct vibe, the restaurant is the perfect place if you like a low-to-medium level of noise from other diners and background music, this allows you to have very civilized conversations over dinner without raising your voice to be heard. The servers are on-point and so kind and friendly. We always receive the warmest of welcomes (Thank you Jordan, Mark and William. They will also suggest wines as you move through the menu to complement each dish. Do go and try Nightbird, it's a real gem in Hayes Valley and so easy to get to from Muni and Bart. It's also super-handy if you're seeing a show at the Orpheum, which is a stones throw away.
