The Elderberry House - (Near Oakhurst, CA)

MacKenzie Kerkstra Our experience was exceptional at PRESS. Our server was Aaron (might not be spelled correctly) and he did an incredible job! Every dish was timed perfectly and the food was lovely. We also had a bottle of wine from a local region and wine maker recommended by Aaron that we loved. We plan to come back to Napa in the fall and this will definitely be on our list of places to return to. Thank you for making our evening so special!

Julie H An absolutely outstanding fine dining experience near Yosemite! From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, attentive, and professional without ever feeling rushed. Every detail from the beautifully plated dishes to the thoughtfully curated wine list was exceptional. The flavors were balanced, creative, and clearly made with the highest quality ingredients. What stood out most was how seamless the entire evening felt. The staff anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, and each course arrived perfectly timed. It’s rare to find this level of service and culinary excellence in such a stunning setting. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just want a memorable meal after a day in Yosemite, this restaurant is a must. Truly one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time

John O Fantastic meal from start to finish. We came to celebrate my birthday and Gwen did not disappoint. Loved the dining room and our comfortable booth. Our server was great - friendly and skillfully guided us through the menu. The food was uniformly delicious. Highlights were the table bread and butter, fresh oysters, lamb ribs, lobster ravioli, duck fat potatoes and bone in ribeye. Cocktails were excellent as well. Loved this place.

John Rushforth We have visited Nightbird 13 times in the past two years; the last time being December 31st 2025. Hands-down, it is our very favorite restaurant in San Francisco for dinner (we love Foreign Cinema for lunch / brunch). The tasting menu is out-of-this-world, Chef Kim does an incredible job of crafting delicious dishes in a way that some Michelin starred restaurants cannot. Theres a couple of staple dishes that always appear on the menus, despite the seasonal rotations, theres clearly a reason for that - they are expertly constructed and very tasty. Being attached to the Linden Room Bar allows you to select from a wide-range of beverages from the with a cocktail menu as you settle into the night. Both venues have their own distinct vibe, the restaurant is the perfect place if you like a low-to-medium level of noise from other diners and background music, this allows you to have very civilized conversations over dinner without raising your voice to be heard. The servers are on-point and so kind and friendly. We always receive the warmest of welcomes (Thank you Jordan, Mark and William. They will also suggest wines as you move through the menu to complement each dish. Do go and try Nightbird, its a real gem in Hayes Valley and so easy to get to from Muni and Bart. Its also super-handy if youre seeing a show at the Orpheum, which is a stones throw away.

Cherie Brown I usually go for Power Hour and find the bar bites and drinks reasonable and delicious! I love the mini shrimp Louis, mini smash burgers, and the onion rings. We also go for special occasions to the dining area and usually they have specials for a meal for two like the tomahawk steak. Super tasty and tender. They make a special occasion extra special with a dessert. The dining area is darker ambiance and quieter. Unless very busy, it could be louder. The bar area is cozy with bar seating and high tables for 2 mostly. A few will seat more. A big outdoor covered area as well. Great for happy hour, after work meet ups, or special occasions.

Juliette The steak was 10/10 - perfectly cooked. We ordered the wagyu tacos and tuna tartare for starters - both were amazing. The hot dinner rolls with garlic butter were so yummy! The Caesar salad made in front of you was delicious and the truffle fries were great too! Sticky toffee pudding came out for my birthday and I loved it - haven’t had a good one since I left London! Our server was wonderful, the decor is beautiful, great dining experience overall!
