Saison, a renowned two-star Michelin restaurant, offers a remarkable dining experience that captivates the senses. The fresh and natural ingredients used in the dishes are perfectly balanced, with seafood like spot prawns standing out for its exceptional freshness and textures. The tasting menu features unique dishes such as aged duck and brassica broth, delivering a riveting experience with every bite kissed by smoke from the open hearth. The uni toast is a must-try, with its melt-in-your-mouth uni enhanced by brown butter on sourdough, adding texture and crunch. While the quail and red meat dishes may be too heavy for some, the overall quality of the food remains impressive, including memorable offerings like the truffle croissant and walnut cake paired with buckwheat tea.
The ambiance at Saison is relaxing and slow-paced, enhanced by a beautiful open wood fire and a dark, cabin-like interior, creating a unique and memorable atmosphere. The service is warm and unpretentious, with staff noted for being among the best. Guests can expect a flawless pacing of courses, and many staff members take the time to greet diners throughout their meal. The drinks pair well with the creative offerings. Although the desserts may not stand out, the experience is enriched by the sommelier's deep drink list.
While portions may seem small initially, the meal surprisingly fills diners, leaving them satisfied by the end. Guests have praised their unforgettable experiences, with many considering it one of the best dining experiences of their lives. Saison's location near Oracle Park adds convenience for event attendees, but guests should allow extra time to find parking. Overall, Saison is a truly exceptional dining destination that provides a one-of-a-kind experience for food enthusiasts.
