A word from Sons & Daughters

Sons & Daughters brings sophisticated cuisine in a comfortable setting to Nob Hill/Union Square. Chef owners Matt McNamara and Teague Moriarty aim to create a dynamic, interesting, and approachable dining experience. They have teamed up with young sommelier Carlin Karr to create an equally unique… wine program that focuses on food-friendly eclectic wines. The experience at Sons & Daughters involves a seasonal coursed out menu using fresh ingredients from the restaurant’s garden and the surrounding Bay Area. The small intimate dining space surrounds a lively open kitchen, providing a distinctive setting for a unique dining experience. Continued

"Small restaurant with very quiet ambiance. Maybe a little stark for what they are trying to do but not off much. Very good food with nice plating and interesting asides like the mini slate bread boards with three different breads throughout the evening. Great waitstaff and the open kitchen in the middle was delightful. Price is appropriate for the experience."

"Sons & Daughters is a true foodie experience. The staff is attentive and seems to genuinely care that you are enjoying your meal. The tasting menu is a tour of fresh ingredients presented in inventive ways. From first taste to final presentation, it is all about the food and well worth the price and time investment to truly enjoy what a night out should be."

"One of the best meals of our lives. Clearly a one star headed for two. Loved the menu, which offered little on the way of explanation, listing nothing more than the main components in each dish. Lots of very cheeky notes throughout the meal; the first course required the use of hands, which reassured nervous diners and thumbed a nose at pretentious ones. Magnificent touches throughout: top quality meats and produce presented in unique ways. We both found ourselves smiling, laughing, and talking about the dishes.

Service was superb. We closed out the restaurant and had the great pleasure of chatting more with our server. And when my husband accidentally left our credit card, he chased after us for a block until he caught our attention!"

"You have no choice but to spend BIG bucks here. Fixed menu at $90+, doesn't include wine. Be prepared to spend $300 for two MINIMUM (after tax and tip). Their newest idea is to change the menu with the seasons. We just had spring. Our plan: Do summer, fall, skip winter; stop entertaining friends there...just too pricey."

"Sadly, very overpriced for what was offered. A disappointment as there's so much hype surrouding this place. I think they have high aspirations but the place was heavy on pretention and fleeting on the taste buds."
