We had a large party in their private dining room. The experience was impeccable, especially having such a large dining group. The ambiance felt very cozy and our captain, Jason, had a great sense of humor, and also answered many of our questions with thoughtful and informational responses. From the beginning bites they were wonderful with surprising textures that were very memorable. Each dish was honestly so pretty to look at each time. You can tell even the garnishes were carefully placed. You know it’s a good meal when it’s silent during each course. We had an absolutely wonderful time and recommend also getting the non-alcoholic pairings and wine pairings! So much easier when everything is curated so thoughtfully. The whole team made our party feel at ease and is one of the best dining experiences in San Francisco.
I had dinner at Sons and Daughters last night and have been dreaming about the experience all day today. I would refer to this as an "experience' rather than just a meal - everything from the moment I walked in the door was perfectly curated for an amazing ~3 hours. As a solo diner who has never really been to a fine dining establishment, every single staff member made me feel comfortable and welcomed. The ambiance is top notch - it is a gorgeous restaurant with an amazing view of the open kitchen no matter where you sit.
Every member of the team is extremely knowledgeable. The food absolutely blew me away. I had no knowledge of "New Nordic" cuisine coming into this meal, but I was so pleasantly surprised by each and every beautiful dish. Throughout the experience you learn about the way the chefs preserve the food, where they're sourcing their meat from, little details about Chef Harrison and his inspiration for the menu he's crafted - right down to the detail that his mother makes and ships many of the dishes that they use from England! I can't say enough good things about this dining experience. If you're looking for a unique, delicious, and interesting experience in a warm, gorgeous atmosphere - Sons and Daughters will check every box!

Beautifully presented dishes with a refreshing focus on bright, acidic flavors. Everything was perfectly balanced and light. The 3-hour experience felt slightly long, but the quality of the food makes it well worth the visit. Looking forward to coming back!

Unforgettable. The precision and quiet synchronization of the staff might be my favourite part which is crazy considering how excellent the food is. And the sourcing? Unreal, halibut caught 3 hours prior to me eating it. Special ducks only a certain number of them raised a year for us to get to eat.
Im not sure i have all the right words
Its just a crazy experience i do recommend.
Best non alcoholic pairing ive ever had nothing

Positively surprised by every dish, both the presentation and complex flavor. The setup is intimate, quiet and yet somehow relaxed.
Totally worth the visit and make sure you get the reserved wine pairing ✨
