One 24-course New Nordic tasting from Harrison Cheney — worth a flight for the Monterey black cod and two-star precision.
One Set Tasting, 24 Courses
You do not order at Sons & Daughters; you take the menu it gives you. Dinner is a single set tasting of about 24 courses with no a la carte. Teague Moriarty opened the restaurant in 2010, and Harrison Cheney, now executive chef and co-owner, moved it to a roomier Mission District space at 2875 18th Street in late 2025. Cheney cooks New Nordic, leaning on preservation, fermentation and foraging, and the kitchen earned its second Michelin star in 2024 alongside a Green Star.
The Dish to Anticipate
The course to watch for is the Monterey black cod with pickled wild roses, lactic-fermented white asparagus from The Farm at Meadowood and smoked, aged pork fat, a plate Cheney has called the favourite he has created. Around it the menu runs through carefully preserved vegetables, foraged mushrooms and local seafood, each course small and deliberate. Because it changes with the season, the exact line-up shifts, but the black cod is the signature to hope for.
What It Costs
The tasting is $315 per person for roughly 24 courses, plus a 20% service charge. A wine pairing runs from $185 to $385 depending on the tier you choose. It is firmly fine dining and priced for the single, seasonally driven menu rather than any choice on the night, so come ready to sit for the full sequence.
How to Book
Reservations are on Tock only, as a prepaid ticket released in forward batches; set a Tock alert because the 28 seats sell out fast, weekends first. The room serves Tuesday to Saturday, no walk-ins. For the full method and lead times, read our guide to booking Sons & Daughters.
