Harrison Cheney's two-star New Nordic tasting, 24 courses for $315 — book the Mission room weeks ahead on Tock for a proposal.
The Reservation Problem at Sons & Daughters
Sons & Daughters reopened in the Mission in late 2025, and the booking math changed with the address. The old Lower Nob Hill room is gone; the new one at 2875 18th Street, the former Osito space, is larger, the menu is now 24 courses, and tables go through Tock. The constraint is ambition: Harrison Cheney is cooking for a third Michelin star, which keeps weekend seats moving fast.
Our full profile predates the move, so treat the address and the menu here as the current word. Cheney took the kitchen and turned it from one star to two in 2024, added a Green Star in 2025, and was a James Beard finalist for Best Chef: California in 2026. The cooking is New Nordic technique built on Northern California produce. Within the San Francisco dining guide, this is one of the city's hardest seats of the moment.
How to Book Sons & Daughters
Book through Tock at sonsanddaughterssf.com. The tasting is a prepaid, single-seating ticket, so you commit when you book rather than holding a table. The window releases on a rolling basis; weekend seatings are the first to clear, and weeknights are the easier get. Decide your date and party size before you open the page, because the prepaid format rewards a fast, confident booking.
For a proposal or a milestone, flag it in the Tock notes when you book. This is a 24-course evening with a single nightly seating, so the kitchen plans around the night's count and can quietly stage a moment if it knows in advance.
The Workaround
If your date is sold out on Tock, set a Tock waitlist alert on it and watch the days just before — prepaid tickets get released back when plans change, often midweek. The other lever is the night of the week: shift a Saturday hope to a Wednesday or Thursday and the same 24-course menu opens up. If the room stays out of reach entirely, Benu and Californios are the nearest two- and one-star tasting tables in the city; Acquerello is the classic-room alternative.
What You Eat
A 24-course New Nordic tasting at $315 per person, sustainability-led and built on Northern California produce. The dry-aged dairy cow with elderberries, coastal redwood and grilled butter is the signature plate to watch for; the Monterey black cod with pickled wild roses is the other standout. Wine pairings run $185 and $385, with a $145 non-alcoholic pairing. There is no a la carte, so the tell on whether the kitchen is on tonight is the opening snack flight.
Not for a casual night or a tight budget. Sons & Daughters is a single-seating, prepaid, 24-course tasting at $315 before pairings — no a la carte, no walk-ins, no quick in-and-out.
