"Fine dining staple Bird Dog closed permanently on September 27. Owners Robbie and Emily Wilson made the announcement on Instagram, thanking their customers. “We kind of consider this a retirement of sorts, not so much that we’re calling it quits,” Robbie Wilson told SFGATE. “The lease is coming to an end and we have some exciting new projects we’ve already started working on. It seemed like, let’s go out on our terms and just tackle 2025 recalibrated.”" - Justine Jones
