What a wonderful surprise! Delicious and thoughtful food, lovely personable service and a perfect wine pairing! Nightbird delivered a fabulous night out! Highly recommend!

A lovely 20th anniversary evening. Matt at the bar started the night of right and then William, Kirsten and the crew took over. They were all very knowledgeable about the menu and the wine. We ended up doing the wine pairing (7 wines for the 12 courses) and they were very thoughtful with the pairings. Will definitely look to go back again before another 20 years pass by!

Very creative cooking, a little too much food though. Also, I pointed out to a server that the squab breast in one of my courses had been sloppily carved (I bit into some bone and cartilage - eww) and there was zero acknowledgment by the management of this issue. I expect better when paying this kind of money for a meal.

Absolutely incredible experience — creative and delicious dishes with a broad range of ingredients, composed thoughtfully and artistically in a simple space that's not overwhelming. Charming, courteous and professional staff.

If you're looking for an experience and food that you will think about the rest of the year, go here. Chef Kim's inventiveness and care shows through the food. Even the butter was carved into a sculpture. This is my favorite restaurant in SF!
Sally
it is one of those prix fixe menue things but it is fun and interesting and delicious. not a perfect place for a pre concert dinner.

Food was almost all out of balance, particularly the starchy dishes, where there was a tiny bit of something interesting swallowed up by a pillow of starch. Best was the rabbit even though that was salty. There was also no sense of development through the courses. They were mostly misses and for the price, a big fail.Would be better off with a well curated slider or two. Cocktails, service, ambiance were excellent.
Carmen
Exquisitely attended to. Timing was perfect, to go along with the food and wine. Every detail of our experience served to guide us through an exciting culinary adventure of sensory delight! The only disappointment was the check. Once in a lifetime, and worth it.

We went for a birthday dinner and really loved it. Jordan was very friendly and extra helpful

Our dinner reservation back in Nov was for the Linden Room, which is the bar area. The main dining room was fully booked. It's so loud and crowded, trying to enjoy the wonderful dish is impossible. The waiter tried to explain every dish, but we couldn't hear a thing. The meal itself is amazing. Would return for a proper experience.
Our first time here - we were celebrating a wedding anniversary - and we thought it was excellent! Will definitely be back

Eating at Nightbird means having one of the best meals you have ever experienced. Chef Kim Alter is wonderful — creative, talented, gifted— just one of the best in the world. The price is completely reasonable given the meal. The entire team is incredible and make the experience truly special. Thank you!

Waited 35 min for the first course to show up. Charged me a bottle of wine instead of a glass, which was reverted. Food wise - a few good courses. We dine in Michelin star restaurants all over the city. Nightbird needs to step up a few notches for a star.

We had a wonderful and unique culinary experience. This is a 12 course dishes that is a gift to your palate. Mix of French-Italian-American cuisines. One of the best restaurants in the city for sure!
