Tucked into Glen Ellen’s historic Jack London Village, Songbird Parlour is Sonoma Valley’s most exciting farm-to-table destination—where culinary artistry, local terroir, and genuine community spirit converge in one intimate space. Founded by Lauren Kershner, a Le Cordon Bleu-trained chef, North Bay Forty Under 40 honoree, and one of the Press Democrat’s “23 to Watch in 2023,” Songbird Parlour embodies her lifelong belief that food is the most powerful way to bring people together.
Executive Chef Miller McRae—a Sonoma native who forged his craft at two-Michelin-star Saison—shares that conviction completely, building a menu around wild-foraged, farm-direct ingredients at their absolute peak.
Open Wednesday through Sunday, the restaurant offers a six-course Chef’s Tasting Menu, a cult-favorite Sunday Hot Honey Fried Chicken, and monthly collaborations with local farmers, winemakers, and musicians. Every visit feels like a private invitation into Sonoma Valley’s most soulful dining room.
