SoMa, San Francisco ยท restaurant
Warm wood walls, dried herbs hanging from the rafters, and an open hearth set the stage for one of San Francisco's two-Michelin-starred tasting menus. The two options ($265 Discovery and $325 Journey) celebrate whole, wild-sourced ingredients through dishes like a sea urchin cream puff with savory butterscotch and lacquered smoked quail served with a condiment made from its own innards.
Grilled over open fire, walnut butter, Oscietra caviar, the defining Birdsong dish
Warm savory butterscotch filling inside a delicate pastry shell
