Sons & Daughters is a New Nordic dining establishment situated in San Francisco, California. Since its inception in 2010, it has been awarded two Michelin stars.
History
Established in June 2010 by chefs Teague Moriarty, Matt McNamara, and Travis Curtis, Sons & Daughters is positioned in the "TenderNob" neighborhood of Nob Hill, adjacent to the Tenderloin district. The restaurant took over the space previously occupied by Cafe Mozart, a well-known local eatery, and was named to reflect its youthful team. Initially, the menu blended Northern California New American influences with an emphasis on seasonal, locally sourced ingredients.
After the COVID-19 shutdown, Moriarty, who became the sole proprietor and chef, resumed operations with reduced seating capacity and a smaller, fully salaried workforce. Harrison Cheney joined as chef in 2022 and was promoted to head chef in 2023, introducing a menu transition toward New Nordic fare.
In January 2012, the restaurant's team introduced Sweet Woodruff, a takeout-focused concept.
Awards and honors
Sons & Daughters received its inaugural Michelin star in the 2012 edition of the Guide. By 2024, under the guidance of Chef Stuart Brioza and Nicole Krasinski, it attained a second Michelin star. The San Francisco Chronicle honored founders Moriarty and McNamara as Rising Star Chefs of 2012. Additionally, Michelin bestowed Brioza and Krasinski with the 2023 Young Chef Award for California.
