Description

Tucked down a sapling-lined footpath in the Mission is a renovated 1870s carriage house where some of the city's most intricate and inventive examples of modern American, California, and European 21st-century haute cuisine are crafted and served. The jewel-like platters of foams, emulsions, and impeccably fresh, high-end ingredients at Saison are presented in a rustic setting of beamed ceilings and planked-wood tables; it's like dining in a little Michelin-starred French farmhouse. The daily seven-course prix-fixe unfolds in an unhurried manner, and there's a tree-shaded flagstone patio where you can enjoy a glass of pre-supper champagne.

  • 2010 | Best Restaurant Escape

    As soon as you step away from the Sturm und Drang of Folsom Street into Saison's sapling-lined walkway, you enter a different world -- a different era, even. The setting is Mayor James D. Phelan's 19th-century carriage house, which has been beautifully restored. After you enjoy a glass of champagne on the tree-shaded flagstone patio, the maitre d' leads you through the adjacent kitchen to your seat in a French farmhouse, or, rather, the dining room. Under the beamed, slanted ceiling are... More »
