A group of us dined there the night before NYE. We are not from San Francisco and were excited to try this restaurant. It did not disappoint. Our experience at Nightbird was excellent. Five stars all around. We tired two other Michelin Star restaurants while there and this one was the best.
The restaurant is small and intimate. The decor and every plate, bowl, and glass are expertly designed and paired to match the meal - for example, our oyster dish was served on a beautiful ceramic plate that looked of an oyster shell. The attention to detail was exceptional.
We started with beverages. Two of us purchased cocktails and they did not disappoint. We later moved on to red wine recommended by the staff and that was excellent as well.
The menu theme was "Elf" (the movie). It was fun to see their interpretation of the movie scenes in the dishes.
Every dish was thoughtful and well executed. Even if it was something that was not your favorite (like a raw oyster), it was still delicious and presented well.
Our favorites were the caviar, quail egg with brown butter, scallop dish, bread, short rib, and squab. I personally also loved the bread, sorbet, and dessert.
Absolutely exceptional experience and will return if we ever end up in San Francisco again.
