"Located in California, this restaurant is noted for its rutabaga course, where the root is transformed into tender strands with a smoked pork fat sauce." - MICHELIN Guide
"Chef Harrison Cheney is a rising star in the California fine dining scene having recently been named Michelin Guide California’s 2023 Young Chef Award winner. Since joining the team at one-Michelin-starred Sons & Daughters, he’s sharpened the restaurant’s focus on New Nordic cuisine, drawing in part from his experience cooking at Gastrologik in Stockholm. The menu celebrates seasonal and local ingredients such as Gilfeather rutabaga grown in the North Bay and Half Moon Bay spot prawns. Then Cheney applies a Nordic ethos, resulting in elegant tasting menus that balance the bright flavors of preserved kumquat and green almonds with the delicate notes of a Maine scallop bathed in juniper syrup and brown butter." - Flora Tsapovsky, Eater Staff

"Sons & Daughters is the best Super Fancy Tasting Menu Spot in the neighborhood. Their seasonal $229, 14-course dinner of California-inspired dishes is served in a cozy, sleek space that’s also a bit mysterious, with Rorschach ink blot-esque art on the walls and two-way mirrors outside. Porcini financiers are served on terrarium-like dishes and cultured butter is topped with salt from Ocean Beach. As the night goes on, you’re treated to a parade of bigger dishes, like scallops soaking in brown butter and truffle-heavy dry-aged strip loin. " - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
