"For an upscale (yet relaxed) tasting menu experience, Sons & Daughters is the obvious Nob Hill choice. The $295 prix fixe rotates and varies in the number of courses depending on the day’s ingredients. Dishes are heavily inspired by Nordic food, with courses like spot prawns with elderberries and halibut garnished with fermented root vegetables. You’ll find couples in jeans and tees, sitting beside friend groups draped in evening gowns and suits celebrating a birthday. Reservations can be tough to get, but if you’re lucky there are same-day bookings that open up. Access exclusive reservations with your sapphire reserve card" - julia chen 1, patrick wong, lani conway
