Restaurants near Kingswood Village 231

Fair lunch this afternoon. Pleasant lake view from my window table. I started with the French onion soup. I remembered it being better on my last visit. Rather unremarkable this time. Next I had the bacon wrapped 7oz.filet Mignon with crispy French fries. The fries were quite tasty and as crispy as advertised. The filet was perfectly cooked medium rare. Fair selection of wines by the glass. Service was adequate.

I love this restaurant! It’s always delicious food, great cocktails, awesome service, fun music and ambiance. I recommend the filet.

The food is consistently outstanding and the staff and owner are just fantastic! Thank you again for a wonderful dining experience. Sue D. Granite Bay, CA

It was my husband’s birthday and we have been trying to get in for a while. It is well worth the wait! I am a horrible food snob and the food and service was transcendent, truly! We were born and raised in SF but had not been to Saison. Tyler Burges has a really unique vision for food and service it is perfectly executed here and we soo appreciate it! Our server was lovely and everyone else was as well! As an aside, we had returned from Italy the month prior and we really noticed the service and the pride that Italians feel with their jobs and it felt like we were transported to another country at Smokedoor. The aesthetics are gorgeous also! We did the 6 course menu and the only thing I didn’t love was the pork belly (but I never like pork belly- lol)! We will definitely be back.

The hostess was less than friendly she may need to rethink this job for her! Server was better. I ordered chicken fried steak and my husband got the chicken sandwich. We both shared a side Cesar salad. Food was delicious.
