Restaurant

edit

The restaurant was opened in June 2010 by chefs Teague Moriarty and Matt McNamara with Travis Curtis and is located in the "TenderNob" area of Nob Hill on the edge of the Tenderloin;[1] it replaced Cafe Mozart, a longstanding restaurant,[2] and was named for its young staff.[3] Its cuisine is Northern California New American with an emphasis on locally sourced seasonal ingredients.[1][4][5]

After the COVID-19 shutdown, Moriarty, then sole owner and chef, reopened Sons & Daughters with fewer tables and a smaller staff, all salaried.[6] As of 2024 the executive chef is Harrison Cheney,[5] and Michelin Guide reviewers describe the cuisine as New Nordic.[7]

Sweet Woodruff, a spin-off take-out restaurant, opened in January 2012.[1]

Awards and honors

Sons & Daughters was first awarded a Michelin star in the 2012 Guide.[8] In 2024, under Cheney, it was awarded a second star.[7]

The San Francisco Chronicle named Moriarty and McNamara 2012 Rising Star Chefs;[1][2] Michelin gave Cheney its 2023 Young Chef Award for California.[5][9]
