Lauren Kershner turned the old Pagani family winery in Jack London Village into Songbird Parlour, a Victorian-style salon of green paneling, velvet sofas and a piano. Executive chef Miller McRae cooks hyper-local plates to share, with hot honey fried chicken on Sundays, and nightly social hours introduce one Sonoma Valley winemaker at a time.

Wine Focus
Hyper-local wine list curated by partner Kenneth De Alba, with daily social hours spotlighting Sonoma Valley winemakers.

Songbird Parlour began in 2022 as restaurateur Lauren Kershner's event space and catering hub inside the century-old Pagani family winery at Jack London Village, a Glen Ellen site whose history reaches back to an 1839 sawmill. In November 2024 she opened it as a full-time, five-nights-a-week restaurant, and the room is the first thing guests remember: pine-needle-green paneling, velvet sofas, gilded mirrors, an upright piano, and an enchanting floral mural, all staged as a Victorian-inspired salon. A hallway “museum” of local history leads to the dining room, setting the tone for a place built as much around gathering as around dinner. Still a young restaurant, it is already finding its following in the valley.

Menu Highlights
Hot Honey Fried Chicken
the Sunday signature, dine in or boxed to go
Chef's Tasting Menu
five seasonal courses, $105 per person

Executive chef Miller McRae, with sous chef Brian Gomez, cooks a seasonal, hyper-local menu built for passing plates around the table, and the dishes follow the farms through the year. Partner and general manager Kenneth De Alba curates a wine list drawn almost entirely from the valley outside, and social hours on each night of service spotlight one winemaker at a time, a good way to meet Glen Ellen's small producers over a glass. The room suits a lingering evening, and a private space hosts celebrations and dinners with guest chefs. Dinner is served Wednesday through Sunday from 5, and the restaurant is closed Monday and Tuesday. Reserve through the restaurant's website, and arrive in time for the social hour if you want to meet the winemaker of the day.
