  Birdsong Retrospective Evaluation Audit Date: April 2021 If you're looking for the best restaurants in SF that offer a truly unique tasting menu, Birdsong should be at the top of your foodie bucket list. Looking back at my visit during the transitional pandemic era of April 2021, it was impressive to see how this multi-Michelin-starred destination maintained its identity. From the second you walk up to the entrance on Mission Street, the massive stacks of split logs in the windows tip you off to the kitchen's live-fire philosophy. Inside, the design strikes a perfect balance between rustic tim

  This is the restaurant that truly opened our eyes to GREAT food. We had the BBQ carrot years ago (pre-COVID) and the intensity of flavor from such a simple preparation (albeit long dehydration time) was just kind-blowing. And we’ve been coming back every year since! Chef Chris is a genius. There really are not adequate words to describe the flavor of the dishes that are derived from the techniques of prepping it from the time the ingredient arrives at the restaurant to when it finally reaches your plate (which can be months). It’s familiar flavors that just exploded in intensity, always with t

  Delicious food, good service, beautiful dining room. Definitely would love to come back. + The savory portion of the menu was outstanding, with my faves being the abalone, uni puff, and quail.

While I get the intention, it just didn’t work for some dishes like the abalone, where a spoon would significantly improve the experience

  Wow!! Amanda , Ana, Eric, Inga, Jen!!! The experience here has been out of a movie, let alone the rest of the team who moved like one organism in the visible kitchen like a cirque de sole play! We celebrated our anniversary here and leaving full, buzzed, and so grateful!! The cookies with the coffee… and seaweed bread?! This place is out of a fairytale

  Overall experience is just meeting expectations for a Michelin restaurant. Nothing went wrong but also nothing was exceptional. Food: Most things are fine on their own but very oily. A lot of dishes the ingredients’ tastes are masked by the butter, making many dishes taste almost the same. The layering of textures is more interesting than flavor. I couldn’t pick out a single dish that blew my mind. Service: there are a few people that were mumbling when talking to us making it hard to understand with the kitchen noise going on in the background. The sommelier was not particularly helpful when
