Came here celebrating my partner’s birthday.
We had the winter tasting menu.
We were impressed by the theme of the food being fermented and the reason why chef celebrates this theme. And I can still remember it well after a month. If you are interested in trying out how can food be fermented, and what they taste like in a very good form, this is the place to go! There were several dishes amazing. 1 dish tastes a little like the fish came out of a can, not bad at all, I just enjoy more from fresh live fish since I grown up next to the ocean.

The service was great. Though I’d recommend to go there earlier than us, I sat down at 8:30, and finished after 11. It was a little too late for me.

Sons & Daughters, located at the end of Bush street offers an intimate and quiet fine dining experience. Under the leadership of Chef Harrison Cheney, the menu exudes Nordic minimalism and is succinct and sharply focused on dishes that showcase the kitchen's mastery of smoke, acid and local ingredients. Fermentation and presentation is present here, but never overpowering and works to nicely complement the expertly prepared aged meats and produce. We especially liked the carbonara-esque rutabaga that was dressed in smoked pork fat sauce and the perfectly roasted quail with crispy skin and sumptuous jus that accompanied it. Floral arrangements and accents also helped to accentuate and highlight the freshness and purity of ingredients. For non-alcoholic drinkers, try the blueberry wine, which has a sweet and acid-like flavor that pairs nicely with the various dishes.

Staff here are pleasant and discreet and are more observant than performative allowing for diners to have catch-ups or longer conversation.

Sons & Daughters is a quietly confident restaurant that leans toward seasonality, elegance and restraint. An amazing jewel  that stands out among the sea of exceptional talent.

I had an absolutely good time dining at Sons & Daughters. The food is very delicious. Seafood is handled expertly. Besides the buckwheat course which was a bit salty for my taste, everything else tastes amazing.  The highlights of the meal are the lobster and the lamb. The pairing of lamb and berries is so ingenious as the berries balance out the richness of the lamb. Nordic herbs and fermentation techniques make such a huge difference and elevate everything. Presentation is gorgeous. Wine list is superb. Service is top notch as well. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Well deserved 2 Michelin stars in my opinion.

Sons and Daughters was such an incredible experience from start to finish. Right when we sat down, there was this sweet, handwritten card waiting for us—it was such a thoughtful little touch that made the night feel special from the get-go.

Every dish was just stunning—like, they were almost too pretty to eat. But the flavors? Even better. You could tell so much creativity went into every detail, from how the food looked to how it all tasted together. Each bite felt super intentional.

I also loved that they offered a non-alcoholic drink pairing. Every drink matched the food perfectly, and it was such a cool option to have.

Overall, it was one of those meals where you’re smiling the whole time because everything is just so good.
