This Michelin-Starred Restaurant Is Making a Big Move to the Mission
Two-Michelin-starred Nob Hill restaurant Sons and Daughters is moving to the Mission District. The restaurant will take over the former Osito location on the corner of 18th and Florida streets. The lease on the Bush Street location expires in spring 2026, so the restaurant will decamp the neighborhood. The new Mission location is huge, technically two distinct spaces composed of a bar — previously Liliana and Bar Agricole — and a dining area with an open kitchen.
'We've been at our max for a long time,' Sons and Daughters owner Teague Moriarty says. 'The [new] space is beautiful, it's gonna allow us to have more staff, and continue to push Sons and Daughters to the next level.'
The hope is to be operating at the Mission space before the new year. When this new location is ready, including updated furniture and design, Sons and Daughters will close in Nob Hill for good. They want to utilize that larger two-part space with the dining room to create a 'grander experience,' per Moriarty. The team hopes to find a hungry restaurateur to take over the original space, since that existing restaurant will be functional and somewhat turn-key.
Sons and Daughters is one of the city's most upscale New Nordic-style restaurants. Moriarty brought current executive chef Harrison Cheney onboard in 2022 and the restaurant has cleaned up on the awards side of the industry since, though the business debuted in 2010. Cheney was named the Michelin Guide's 2023 Young Chef Award winner. He then took the restaurant's one Michelin star and doubled it in 2024. It's beloved for lavish seasonal tasting menus where Osetra caviar comes paired with Swedish bread hönökaka. The restaurant's after-dinner coffee service, with beans from the Outer Sunset's Andytown Coffee, is a stunner. The restaurant's reputation also continues to expand as alums move onto their own projects: Kiln chef John Wesley and co-owner Julianna Yang both worked at Sons and Daughters.
Chef Seth Stowaway closed the one-Michelin-starred Osito on Mother's Day 2025, telling the San Francisco Standard the numbers just weren't adding up. (Meanwhile, Osito is in the midst of a farewell dinner series at North Bay's Black Mountain Ranch for June.) Stowaway told the Standard the $15,000 monthly rent was non-negotiable with the landlord. That'd be the Madelon, the same complex housing Bar Gemini and a trio of bakeries fittingly dubbed Bakery Row. Sons and Daughters, which celebrated its 15th year in business in June, will join newcomer Side A as one of the sexy new entrants in that chunk of the neighborhood.
