Michelin sucks. Better than most tasting menus with a Star. Michelin sucks.
Loved the reflections between courses.
Attentive staff. Loved meeting the staff that cooked the food. Ended with lovely dessert.

The Food @ Nightbird made me sick - and I'm not the only one! Strange little space - weird decor, glazed windows w/ no views - not necessarily inviting or w/ any real ambiance. Service was attentive & professional, but food was completel

Don't get me wrong, we had a good time here and I can see that they are trying to give a Michelin Star vibe. Cocktails were delicious and original and the service was attentive. But the food...left something to be desired. We stopped here before
I went there for my birthday dinner a few days back.
I got the vegetarian menu while my friends for the regular one. while my friends said the meat dishes were good, but the vegetarian food seemed like a last thought. I didn't finish most of the food. some of it was bland, most of it was just blan
We did the wine-pairing of the tasting menu here.
It deserves the Michelin stars - amazing food, every single course and the choice of wine was phenomenal. Dessert was great too. Just a great ambience and the knowledgeable and friendly staff was very informative with just the right level of conversa
It was great until it was sickeningly horrible.
Synopsis: We have a high level of confidence that our entire party of 4 received a food-borne illness when we dined at Nightbird on Thursday March 6, 2025. Our experience is detailed below. Details: Thursday afternoon my flight landed at OAK, I made
This reservation was a happy little accident.
Superlative service and well paced meal. The wine pairing was exceptional as well.
I wanted to love Nightbird, but I ended up just enjoying it.
It's all beautiful, with professional and attentive service, excellent plating, and a playful series of wonderful bites. Four stars because while I enjoyed everything, what i most remember from the meal was the dishes. They're adorable, and
Fantastic Experience and Food!
In a word, OUTSTANDING. We have eaten at top restaurants all over the world and Nightbird is easily in the top five. We we warmly greeted and shown to a table as soon as we walked in the door. Over the course of the next 2.5 hours we interacted wi

Both the food and the service at Nightbird was simply outstanding. We enjoyed another amazing experience with a long list of items from the prix fixe menu. As before, the chef was also excellent in making substitutions for our gluten-free eater.
Best of SF, a must visit!
Hands down one of the best dining experiences of my life. And without a doubt the best service I've ever gotten at a restaurant. A must try spot if you've never been and if you're visiting SF this is the perfect spot to round out your trip. It's fine

I had visitors from out of town for the holidays and we decided to go have dinner at NB on the 23 December. It's very hard to locate the entrance since there is no name on the outside but the front door is amazing ! the woodwork is one of a kind, re

Affirmatively terrible at a $500 pp price point with beverage pairing. No courses were memorable and many were below average. The beverage pairing didn't start until after the first three bites, so you had to pay extra on top of a beverage pairing if

I went in October 2023.
Incredibly delicious a tasting menu that reminded me a lot of Saison; Nightbird is definitely cooking at the level of a 2 Michelin Star. The menu was extremely cohesive, really appreciated how they highlighted every part of the ingredients. One stand
Holy cow! Every dish is a work of art.
On top of a dish that's a work of art. I love when people are great at their jobs and everyone here is amazing. I am so lucky I could experience this restaurant!

Went there last night for my husband's bday, as well as a cerebration for being empty nesters (yes, just sent the only kid to college last weekend... ) We had a fantastic evening. Probably one of the best tasting menus in the town. All dishes were pr
I would describe my experience at Nightbird as mixed.
There were several highlights: 1. The oil-poached prawns with squash were incredible. Almost the texture of raw scallop (which I love), the lightly herb-infused poaching oil elevated the prawns so much. And the squash represented in various ways pull

Service and ambience were great, but the food was mediocre for the price. Most of the meat dishes were too salty, and the flavor profile overall was one-dimensional. We have tried most of the tasting menus in San Francisco, and would not recommend Ni

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Nightbird San Francisco at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Nightbird San Francisco page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Nightbird San Francisco to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Nightbird San Francisco!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
