ABOUT US

Tucked away in the heart of San Francisco, Nightbird is a true culinary gem — an intimate boutique restaurant that delivers a whimsical yet refined prix-fixe dining experience unlike any other. From the very first course to the last, each dish feels like a carefully composed work of art — thoughtful, imaginative, and deeply satisfying.

Opened in 2016 by award-winning chef and owner Kim Alter, Nightbird radiates warmth and understated elegance. Chef Alter’s hospitality is as memorable as her cuisine. The service feels personal and genuine, striking that rare balance between polished and heartfelt — setting the tone for an unforgettable evening.

Just steps away, tucked down a quiet alley, you’ll find The Linden Room — Nightbird’s speakeasy-style cocktail lounge.

Chic, moody, and atmospheric, The Linden Room is the perfect pre- or post-dinner hideaway. The cocktails are impeccably crafted — inventive, balanced, and just as stylish as the cuisine next door.

Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply craving a world-class tasting menu experience, Nightbird is an absolute must. It’s more than dinner — it’s a carefully choreographed culinary journey that lingers long after the final bite.
