Amazing food and services🥰
The dishes are not only tasty, unique, but also consistent in menu design. Floral taste is hidden somewhere in every plates.
I also ordered the non-alcoholic pairing, which I enjoyed a lot.
Worth the price. Definitely one of the best dining experiences
Amazing ðŸ˜truly so good - the story of the ingredients and the team right infront of us bringing it to life is so special!
Loved the little printed menu and take home souvenir
The only sad part is I couldn’t order more of the Dungeness crab starter bite it was soooooooo good
Highly recommended!
Will return soon.
Great experience.
Dining at Saison was an extraordinary experience. Every course was phenomenal — each dish showcased incredible creativity and balance. Their wine list was impressively extensive, and we had the chance to try a fascinating 1979 Corton that made the night even more memorable. It was also such a special touch to see familiar faces from Angler and Pabu; the staff not only remembered me but made us feel truly celebrated. We were there for a birthday celebration, and the team went above and beyond by surprising us with handwritten birthday cards, a delicious banana cake, and candles for each of us. The warmth, attention to detail, and artistry in both the food and service made this an unforgettable night. Already booked a reservation next month!
I booked the bar experience weeks in advance and needed to cancel with plenty of notice. While I later realized the cancellation policy was stricter than expected, the way it is written feels intentionally unclear. I would recommend reading other reviews, as I am not the only one who has had this experience. Worse was how I was treated. Staff spoke to me in a very condescending and smug tone, both by email and phone, and made the experience unpleasant from start to finish. Having dined at many Michelin-starred establishments across the country, I was genuinely taken aback by how different and disappointing the service was here compared to every other venue.
I cannot speak to the food, but based on the service alone, this is not the place to trust for a special occasion or a night where good hospitality matters. There are so many amazing fine dining establishments in San Francisco that truly want your business and know how to treat guests with kindness. I would encourage anyone to enjoy those instead.
I had a very bad experience on birthday this year I called talked to a woman who I had met in person many times & knew she had a honor post on Saison's Instagram. I greeted her with a lot of warmth and excitement to come in & told her it was my birthday today.... and she was cold as ice like as icy as it gets a pure FU. I still went in for a simple drink at the bar & bartender mis-quoted the drink price. I had the uni toast this item is horribly small honestly over priced. for the amount... if they want to keep it small why not offer a piece simple of bread to make it seem like I can at least feel something in my stomach. They in the past offered a chocolate bar and tea even for a simple bar visit in a gift bag. But this time *nothing and again it was my birthday.... I've dined at this restaurant over 6 years.. this visit was in January mid week but I will never forget. I've had several disappointing visits over the years it makes me always think before coming in but this I decided would be my last visit. It's a easy reservation and at times very good food & experience but when it's bad it's very very bad & unforgivable at this point. They might wonder why I don't do the 300 menu well you guys have severely messed up in the past is why. Why I ask to see the menu before every potential visit because saison when I give my trust and they FAIL in a big way, I pull my wallet back but still I would go in & had some very good visits. So from someone very familiar with fine experiences and major foodie. Go at your own risk but if you want easy res a good option.
Excellent service.

Very friendly staff.
Will return soon.
We did the new bar menu, and it was incredible. Got the uni toast, and asked drinks to be paired. The dessert pairing for someone who doesnt like sweet on sweet was excellent, a floral special edition Mondavi wine. Almost every bite was perfect, the service was incredible and generous. We're coming back for the full menu!
Amazing food but mediocre wine pairing
Top quality.
