An absolutely beautiful dining experience. The restaurant is lovely with a simple yet elegant setup. The fireplace sets a relaxed and romantic mood. The open kitchen gives a glimpse into the preparation of the dishes. The chefs work diligently and purposefully to prepare dishes that look as great as they taste. The service is top tier as each and every detail is thought-out and executed wonderfully. It was great to have the chefs deliver and talk about the preparation of the courses. You can tell that there is passion in every detail of the meal. From the plates to the flatware everything was purposefully done and it shows. The food was wonderful. The combination of flavors and the sustainable approach were highlighted throughout the meal. We had a great time and highly recommend trying it.

Second time eating here as i loved it the first visit and the’ve since won a second star, so i returned with high expectations. The food felt like a natural progression from my last visit, an unfussed elegant approach to cooking with a big emphasis on working with small artisans and sustainability. All of the dishes seemed to be explained by where and why they sourced the ingredients more than how exactly they cooked them. Everything i ate had a feeling of freshness and intensity of flavour, which felt quite novel to me. I sometimes find tasting menus can be overly rich and difficult to finish comfortably. Stand out dishes for me were the scollop with cured pork and turnip and the smoked duck. Although all of the food was absolutely delicious. I’m pretty sure every single person in the front of house and kitchen came and served one of the 18 courses i had. This is something i really appreciate as a solo diner because if the courses take a bit longer or if you have the same person at the table the whole evening i can feel a bit awkward or boring. They were all incredibly warm and charming and for me it kind of made the experience. To my knowledge there aren’t any other New Nordic restaurants in the area at this level, so its a must visit for anyone interested in dining in one of the west coasts new, best and exciting restaurants! Thank you to the whole team at S&D for an incredible evening 👏👏

Positively surprised by every dish, both the presentation and complex flavor. The setup is intimate, quiet and yet somehow relaxed. Totally worth the visit and make sure you get the reserved wine pairing ✨

One of the top two tasting experiences in the country. Chef Harrison and the entire team delivered an exceptional evening. Standout dishes included the venison with elderberry and the beautifully executed halibut. The beverage pairing was extraordinary highlighted by the Clos Rougeard, easily the best red wine I’ve ever tasted. Service was warm, personal, and thoughtful, with each chef introducing themselves throughout the meal. I truly can’t recommend this restaurant highly enough. Fully deserving of Top 50 recognition and even 3-star accolades. Huge thanks to Chef Harrison, Alexis, Chimay, Alex, Frida, David, Joe, Evan, and the whole team.

Came here for dinner and was taken on a thoughtful and whimsical culinary adventure. Each moment and dish are highly curated to elevate the senses. Imagine table settings for fairy royalty, but not in a cheesy way. It did feel a little formal for a solo diner, but the staff was very welcoming, and each table had a gorgeous view of the kitchen. Really enjoyed the chance to engage with each staff member, and the service was impeccable. As a lover and supporter of hyper local/seasonal fare, Chef and team did an amazing job showcasing the bounty of late autumn. Can't wait to return with a partner in tow.

Beautifully presented dishes with a refreshing focus on bright, acidic flavors. Everything was perfectly balanced and light. The 3-hour experience felt slightly long, but the quality of the food makes it well worth the visit. Looking forward to coming back!

Unforgettable. The precision and quiet synchronization of the staff might be my favourite part which is crazy considering how excellent the food is. And the sourcing? Unreal, halibut caught 3 hours prior to me eating it. Special ducks only a certain number of them raised a year for us to get to eat. Im not sure i have all the right words Its just a crazy experience i do recommend. Best non alcoholic pairing ive ever had nothing

I had dinner at Sons and Daughters last night and have been dreaming about the experience all day today. I would refer to this as an "experience' rather than just a meal - everything from the moment I walked in the door was perfectly curated for an amazing ~3 hours. As a solo diner who has never really been to a fine dining establishment, every single staff member made me feel comfortable and welcomed. The ambiance is top notch - it is a gorgeous restaurant with an amazing view of the open kitchen no matter where you sit. Every member of the team is extremely knowledgeable. The food absolutely blew me away. I had no knowledge of "New Nordic" cuisine coming into this meal, but I was so pleasantly surprised by each and every beautiful dish. Throughout the experience you learn about the way the chefs preserve the food, where they're sourcing their meat from, little details about Chef Harrison and his inspiration for the menu he's crafted - right down to the detail that his mother makes and ships many of the dishes that they use from England! I can't say enough good things about this dining experience. If you're looking for a unique, delicious, and interesting experience in a warm, gorgeous atmosphere - Sons and Daughters will check every box!
