Pacific Northwest cuisine by chef Chris Bleidorn. Birdsong is a new tasting menu restaurant in the SOMA space that was once AQ and now has a live fire hearth. Highlights were the Hopi blue cornbread, “fish and chips,” and lamb-stuffed morels. The wine pairing featured mainly, if not all, Oregon wines.
