Saison is a two Michelin-starred, open wood fire restaurant under the leadership of Executive Chef Richard Lee, emphasizing the bounty of California’s evolving terroir and its incredible farmers, ranchers, and fishermen and women. Saison is driven by Lee’s dedication to purity and innovation, paired with a Grand Award-winning wine list in a dynamic space where guest and team celebrate an intimate, culture-shifting experience. Chef Lee builds upon Saison’s formidable foundation as the original fine dining establishment in the U.S. to use open hearth cooking, crafting nuanced flavors with intention that are inspired by the culinary diversity of Northern California.

Saison has one of the country’s largest and most remarkable selections of Old and New World wine, with a special emphasis on Burgundy, originally established by Saison Hospitality co-founder and Saison Winery winemaker Mark Bright and now curated by Beverage Director and Assistant General Manager Molly Greene.

From the OpenTable editors: At Saison, chef Richard Lee turns out one of the city’s best seasonally driven tasting menus that marries his Chinese heritage with premium local ingredients. In a rustic-chic space with soaring oak ceilings and an open hearth, watch Lee craft innovative dishes like a dry-aged Sonoma duck with a salted cherry leaf sauce that have earned the restaurant two MICHELIN Stars, a spot on the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list, and a Wine Spectator Grand Award for its next-level pairings.

    Best meal of my life. Each dish was creative. A few of them were mind blowing. You can taste the chefs love for food through every bite.

    We celebrated a birthday dinner at Saison, and it was exceptional from start to finish. From being greeted by name at the door to the attentive service that followed, the attention to detail was impeccable. Our table was situated near the kitchen, giving us a front-row view of the chefs at work. Watching how each dish was prepared added to the great experience. The highlight of the evening was, without a doubt, the uni toast. We wished we could have had seconds (or thirds!). To wrap up the night, we were treated to a kitchen tour, giving us a closer look at the culinary magic behind our unforgettable meal. Saison delivered an incredible experience. Highly recommended for any special occasion or if you simply want an extraordinary night out.
