    My daughter and I very much enjoyed the Nightbird bar menu. A couple of cocktails and 10 courses of delicious, imaginative bites. It could have hardly been better.

    Great restaurant. Fabulous food. We were going to a performance so they really hustled to get us through the courses, which we appreciated.

    A whole vibe—elevated, intimate, and effortlessly cool Nightbird’s bar experience is one of those hidden gems that makes you feel like you’re in on a secret. From the moment you walk in, the energy is warm but refined—like a chill speakeasy with serious attention to detail. The service was welcoming and on point without being too formal, and everything just flowed—from the drinks to the pacing to the ambiance. It’s the kind of place where you can post up for a solo moment, bring a date, or catch up with a friend and still feel like you're treating yourself. You can tell everything is crafted with care, and there’s a quiet confidence to the whole experience that really sticks with you. Definitely one of those spots I’ll keep coming back to when I want something special, but lowkey.

    Incredible time. Great meal and price for an incredibly filling and detailed and thoughtful tasting menu. It really ends up being 10+ courses with the reflections and every bit was enjoyable. Would definitely recommend. Had the regular menu and pescatarian and both were incredible. Dreaming about that mochi taco and quail egg still.

    Nightbird was a superb restaurant. The atmosphere and decor were playful yet elegant. The service was impeccable; very attentive to all of our needs. When we accidentally spilled a drink, they were quick to clean everything up and to get us a new drink. The food itself was whimsical and fun. The tasting course is seasonal and everything was tasty. The desserts especially were a standout. If Nightbird has not won a Michelin star already, it certainly is on the level of many other great Michelin star restaurants in SF.

    We were impressed! At $195 for pescatarian & $175 for vegetarian, this was an excellent value for an 11-course fine dining tasting menu! Excellent service, and delicious creative dishes beautifully presented. Perfect for special occasion.
