About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Great for fine wines
Fancy

Saison Wine Bar invites wine lovers or anyone thirsty to enjoy a very personal list curated by Mark Bright and our team of Sommeliers, complemented by French wine bar fare. The vast wine collection - available by the glass, flight, or bottle - leans heavily into France while highlighting extraordinary global producers and our neighbors in Northern California. We showcase benchmark as well as niche labels, with deep verticals and highly allocated bottles. Our menu is designed for groups large and small to snack and savor, from traditional Croque Monsieurs or Pâté en Croûte, to our Signature Caviar Service and robust Charcuterie and Cheese program featuring imports and local artisans. The richly textured, classic "Saison blue" space offers banquettes, booths, and bar seating. We host winemaker events regularly. We are proudly part of Saison Hospitality - only a few minute walk from two Michelin-starred Saison! Our team is always here to taste, chat, or simply cheers. You're next!

Incredible service, good apps, and an aged/tattered ambiance. Not a Saison worthy ambiance experience, but if you’re looking for wines from outside of California and you live nearby, come! I

One of the most disappointing service experiences I’ve had. We came in excited to try Saison Wine Bar, ordered food, and then waited… and waited. For 45 minutes, we struggled to get anyone’s attention. When I finally went up to ask about our order, someone followed me back to the table—without acknowledging the delay, without an apology, and without even offering something small while we waited. Instead, he started telling us random stories, completely missing the point. Turns out, he hadn’t even checked on the order when he walked away. We waited another 15 minutes—still nothing. When we asked again, it was more of the same dismissive attitude. So we left. You can have the best wine and food in the world, but if you can’t offer even basic service—or seem to care at all about your guests—you really shouldn’t be open.

Fantastic wine selection. Loved the tasting options offered as well. Smaller bites for food. Perfect for a "girls dinner" night out. Moody interior. Not too crowded on a Tuesday night. Would definitely come back.

We had a great time. Excellent service. The food was very good. We didn’t have dinner plans after so we ordered many items from the menu and ware not disappointed by anything- the salad was wonderful and the Pommes Dauphine are a must. Don’t skip the desserts.

We went for happy hour. The small menu has discounted prices for food and wines. Oysters were very good. Nice place for a date, meeting with friends or work meeting! Very good service.
