A Silicon Valley Fine Dining Staple Calls It Quits After Nearly a Decade

Bird Dog, a fine dining restaurant in Palo Alto, will close on September 27 after nearly a decade, expressing gratitude to their guests and team.

Chef Robbie Wilson noted Bird Dog's menu included both Californian and Japanese influences, focusing on crudo, intensely-flavored meats, fresh vegetables, and creative presentations.

Despite its accolades, including Wilson's recognition as a James Beard semifinalist, Bird Dog's closure marks a significant loss for the Peninsula's culinary scene.

The Castro will inaugurate its first night market on October 18, organized by local community groups to revitalize the vibrancy of San Francisco's streets.
