Saison

Tracked on 5 lists across 5 authorities, ranked as high as #7.

178 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA Website ↗

At once playful and earnest, this privileged playpen is adored by the Bay Area's elite. The studied cool of the kitchen extends to its crowd, and the striking warehouse setting blends rusticity with refinement. Everything revolves around the roaring hearth. The kitchen, under the direction of Chef Richard Lee, is in steady hands, and meals begin with a flurry of bites, like a tartlette of tuna and strawberry. Then, rabbit saddle dressed with perfect morels and grilled gem lettuce; or Texas antelope ribeye sauced with blueberries and accompanied by a black truffle croissant leads to unique sweets. Armed with an exceptionally well-stocked wine cellar, an engaging wine team happily accommodates all desires and budgets.
