Birdsong

AmericanSan Francisco$$$$Check restaurant site

Birdsong is one of the best american restaurants in San Francisco for date night, especially if you want a strong option in San Francisco.

At 1085 Mission Street, in a SoMa corridor that does not conventionally announce fine dining, Birdsong has spent seven-plus years building the case that California's most serious cooking can emerge from fire, wood, and a precise reverence for the Pacific Northwest larder.
