Perhaps our new favorites one star! Love the thematic menu although we did not expect it would be horror movies and the dessert spook me out quite a bit 😅😅
But every course was meticulously crafted and very creative - and the flavors just work, didnt feel forced at all. Also loved the concept of “reflection dishes” after the main courses.
Service was flawless, we loved our waiter. And price point is so fair!
Our favorites were the brown butter quail egg, prawns in potato espuma, scallops in squash and chestnut sauce, and the pecan pie with foie gras. The wagyu was perfect as well - not too fatty and so flavourful.

This was our first experience with this kind of fine dining and it was very comfortable and a great experience! My husband had the meat menu and I had the vegetarian. It was about 13 courses and 2.5hrs. The servers were very nice and explained what we were eating to us. It's a nice place but people were dressed from suits to dresses to jeans and sweatshirt. There were some courses I didn't enjoy but overall it was an amazing food experience with flavors I'll never taste again I'm sure.

The outside of the building is very unassuming, but the inside is nicely decorated and inviting. There's incredible artwork on the ceilings, subtle table pieces, and great background music. The staff is very friendly and gave detailed explanations of the foods and wine. Everything was plated exceptionally and the flavors were on point. Our favorites of the night were the blackened chicken and the prawns. The chef put together a masterful menu and we were delighted with every course! We also had we soft bread with garlic butter and several small bites. Will absolutely return to Nightbird in the future!

Truly amazing experience. Kim Alter is a phenomenal chef and eating here should be on your MUST list. I’ve been three times and each time is not only special but fun. Being surprised and delighted by food seems rarer and rarer, esp in a great food city like SF. But each bite and sip at Nightbird is enticing and surprising in the most fun way. The service is warm and friendly and professional, you feel really cared for, while you get to look forward to each course. I’ve had some of the best bites of my life there -  just blown away by multiple courses. Also the wine pairings were inspired!

A hidden gem. The menu spans the full range: caviar and scallops, a delicious brown butter ravioli, quail and perfectly cooked tenderloin, plus a host of delicious small bite interludes along the way. We loved the range and balanced flavours. Great service too. You won't go wrong.
