Sessions at the Presidio is Now Closed
After many wonderful years of partnership, Sessions will be closing at the conclusion of dinner service on December 24th to make way for an exciting new chapter – a partnership with Piccino. We are immensely grateful for the excellent service, memorable meals, and cherished memories shared at Sessions over the years. Your patronage has meant so much to us.

As we bid farewell to Sessions, we eagerly look forward to welcoming Piccino, a beloved family-owned eatery, as they expand into The Presidio.

Piccino Presidio is set to open in early spring 2025. Stay tuned for more updates as we prepare to launch this exciting addition to One Letterman and The Presidio community.

Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to sharing this new chapter with you.

Sincerely,

The Sessions Team

This restaurant just closed last night so it was a terrible experience. Only a dozen or so people in there, very hard to find, sat in booth with no server until I went to find one, didn’t have many items on the menu and started packing up while we were eating. So good thing it is closing because waste of time and money. Very disappointing.

Drinks and food were delicious. Nothing over the top, but good quality and presentation. Slight miscommunication with the wait staff which was rectified immediately. Professional.
