Reviews for Birdsong in San Francisco, CA
An amazing experience with some top quality ingredients. The staff was extremely nice and understanding. The kitchen was... beautiful and the interior design was gorgeous. Read more
The Birdsong family gave us a show to remember. The service and food were immaculate. The team's effort shined in all the little... details. Chef Chris's menu is first a local Pacific Northwest ingredient driven menu. Secondly, the yarn of ingredients wereexpertly threaded throughout our dinner with whimsy, nostalgia, and surprise. The blend of open kitchen fire smells, Santanamusic, and the dishes evoke a rustic cabin atmosphere. With all the birds and wood around, I almost thought I was in the foresthabitat of Wingspan. We wanted to keep rolling the dice for more food all night long. Standouts on the food include the seaurchin cream puff (a sweet and savory umami bomb) and the caviar cornbread prepared elaborately in front of us. The wonderfuldry aged quail had me giggling with calls to banh mi, French dip, and Peking duck. For a wonderous night out, experience it atBirdsong. Read more
A wonderful experience. Food was spectacular. One in our party was allergic to shell fish. They were able to make... substitutions that were easily as wonderful as the original menu. Everything about the meal was perfect. Read more
The best tasting food I've ever had in my life. The corn bread and caviar was by far my favorite. You can tell each recipe has... so much effort and thought put into it because not a single flavor or seasoning is off by even a minute degree. It's perfection.My mouth is watering as I write this review. I really loved my experience and I highly recommend!! Read more
Excellent restaurant in a not so great neighborhood. In many ways, Birdsong is considerably better than the nearby Michelin... 3-star Benu. A good place to park is the Trinity Place garage only a block from the restaurant. Even then, one can't avoidencountering the homeless folks on both sides of the street. Read more
Wood fire heaven! A journey that left my palette happy! Each bite was perfect and a wonderful staff. Chris Bleidorn was there... and cooking right in front of us. Will go back! Read more
Lovely dining experience. The ambiance is farmhouse chic, exemplified by the open fire pit in the open kitchen. The food refined... Pacific NW. to start, the stuffed onion was crisp with balanced textures of onion and walnut milk sauce. Oysters were fresh andcomplemented by the sharp jalapeno. The trout course was exceptional. The meat came packaged in a little cedar box. The fish wasdelicate and flavorful. The uni puff was also a delight. Our favorite course was the quail. The presentation and ability to mixand match the flavorful meat with different sauces/garnishes and bread was entertaining. The aged lamb was flavorful but lessnuanced. Desserts were enjoyable but not the highlight for me. I’d definitely recommend. Read more
Lovely restaurant, worth its Michelin stars. I’d rate five stars, though unfortunately there were a few small annoyances... during the dining experience - consider this as a 3,5/5. For starters, the table was booked after our reservation, which isn’tabnormal, but we felt very pressured by the maître d’, who would make it very clear to her staff and us by speeding usthrough the courses. Besides that, the service was slightly messy at times (e.g., forgetting to pour our coffee with the desert)- I’ve never had this kind of experience in a Michelin Star restaurant before, let alone 2*. Again, please consider this as a3,5/5. Given the circumstances, I don’t feel that our experience was worth more than that at this time. From a culinaryperspective, everything was great. Read more
