"Probably one of the best meals I've had. Nineteen small plates with one surprise one that wasn't on the menu and a ten wine pairing menu to accompany. I was in heaven. The presentation is flawless and the service is impeccable. Certainly it's pricey but well worth every penny spent here. You will love it!!"

"It's a walk between fences on Folsom Street between 17th and 18th street to an old carriage house, and the most amazing luxury meal I've ever had in SF. An experience of wine-pairing for my guest, and non-alcoholic sparkling combinations for me...The quality of ingredients, preparation, and presentation alone will long be remembered. Our own French Laundry experience now in SF, but a cleaner exciting world created by Joshua Skenes. I was missing bread with the meal when after 5 courses a fresh biscuit warmed in the outdoor oven appeared w/ house churned butter, omg. Every dish is amazing and savory, every ingredient stands alone with service beyond outstanding. Anyone who lives in SF needs to say they've been to Saison at least once."

"An excellent experience overall. Each course was expertly prepared with the finest and freshest ingredients. The flavor combinations were delightful and innovative (example: beer & foie gras under a title of toffee on the menu). Every course tantalized our palates. Our night at Saison compared well with our dinner experiences at the two 3 Michelin starred restaurants in the Napa Valley. Many thanks to Chef Skenes and his team for a memorable evening. We will definitely return soon."

"Wow what an experience! VERY expensive, but possibly the most interesting culinary experience I've had. Definitely a special occasion (or a splurge) type of place - not in terms of the decor which is very comfortable and not ostentatious, but certainly in terms of the food and the cost. Highly recommend!"

"My first time to Saison was in 2010 and back then it was fabulous and a lot cheaper. Probably about $150 per person. We went back there last Saturday and the experience took my breath away. The food was super creative, well thought, and exquisite. The ingredients were so fresh. I guess Saison has really become one of "the" places to go for dinning now in San Francisco. We had 19 courses that night and 2 bottles of non-alcoholic refine grape juice....we don't drink :-) the dinner cost me over $500. If you have a special occasion coming up and really want to make it special, go to Saison but be prepared for the high bill."

"Amazing service, inventive and delicious food. Sat at the hearth and was able to watch Julio in action grilling all types of unusual foods with great care. Every course was outstanding and it was a completely unique experience all around!"
