- H KOctober 13, 2018The menu is always changing, and that's exciting with fresh ingredients from California. Expect to enjoy a 3 he meal. Don't forget to add caviar service!!
- Checking off the only 3 Michelin star restaurant in the Bay Area I haven't been to. Definitely lives up to the hype. I give the experience equal to Chef's counter at Meadowood and food tad less
- Wine SpectatorJuly 14, 2014Saison wine director Mark Bright rapidly built the list from 875 wines to more than 3,000 choices. In a tradition that began with the pop-up, every diner is welcomed with a glass of Krug Champagne. Read more
- jansen cSeptember 1, 2021Highly recommend to reserve a table close to the open kitchen. The main pork dish was a bit flat but overall it’s a good tasting menu. 20% tip and a SF mandate fee automatically added to the bill
- Brian StraussAugust 30, 2016Mind blowingly good. Mind blowingly expensive. A glass of Krug greeted us while we took off our coats. Oodles of courses out of a dream. Spring for the caviar addition because once in a lifetime.
- Kat 🐱December 2, 2015The sea urchin with liquid toast and tangerine ice cream are just beyond amazing.
- _July 19, 2015John Skenes does an amazing job infusing fresh local ingredients in his menu. Tasting menu is heavily seafood based - $398 per person. Amazing food, amazing service. 3 Michelin star worthy.
- AFAR MediaAugust 12, 2014The wrap may have been the most beautiful dish, but my highlight was a tuna tartare. For dessert, he hit the perfect note by piping warm nuvola de pecora into a brioche baked with honey. Read more
- Winson WongFebruary 2, 2015My personal favorite restaurant in SF. Yes it's expensive and only for special occasions but the food was amazing. Very seafood based menu, could see the open kitchen, amazing service. Worth it.
- Condé Nast TravelerOctober 19, 2016“I recall wondering what type of vinegar was used in a dish, expecting wine. It turned out to be fermented sea cucumber guts. Doesn’t sound great, but it was so subtle and delicious.” - Mitchell Davis Read more
- Chi-Chi LiangJuly 26, 2013The salon area offers both the full tasting menu and a la carte options. Although further away from the open kitchen, it's next to the window so makes for a good bright spot on a nice day!
- Raul KeallyFebruary 16, 2013Wine pairing is quite a bit of wine so it may be best to have the sommelier pick a couple glasses instead. Staff is great here ask them lots of questions during this special dining experience.
- TripExpertMay 19, 2015"This award-winning restaurant, notorious for having one of the priciest tasting menus in the United States, recently moved...to a 19th-century, brick-and-timber building." -Fodors on TripExpert Read more
- Başak PaşalıSeptember 11, 2022Great food, horrible music. They really have to do something to match the music and the vibe with the sophisticated food they serve. The music makes you feel like you are in Mcdonalds.
- Edwina McGregorJanuary 31, 2019Such an amazing dining experience. The food here is incredible. Although a bit on the expensive side – worth it though!
- Mary LeeDecember 30, 2013Tasting menu without add-ons (no truffle menu extension needed). Get there a bit early so you can have a glass of complimentary champagne at the bar
- Chris PantagesOctober 31, 2013If you go as a single, try to get the table closest to the kitchen. It only seats one and it's basically a front row seat for all the action.
- P ZMay 11, 2013Classic, clean. But not a revelation. If you think that $300 should go beyond impeccable technique, should be inventive, artistic, and truly delightful...this may not be the place for you.
- Jonathan SnookApril 15, 2018Had a seat by the kitchen, making it a delight to watch them prepare the food. Every dish was prepared and presented well.
- Shriya SiripuramMay 28, 2014Sea cucumber and uni attracted us to the discovery menu. Pricey but definitely the most fresh tasting fine dining meal of my life.

- ginny hApril 13, 2021Every bite was fantastic. Service was not pretentious. It was a bit cold sitting outside. But what can you do with Covid?
- Andreas EhnFebruary 11, 2015Make sure you get the uni on juice-soaked Tartine Bakery toast. It's amazing.

- Andreas EhnFebruary 11, 2015Not just a three-star Michelin restaurant, but also a great cocktail bar.
- Dan MoneyOctober 22, 2022the music is garbage and totally out of line with the vibe. service not that great. patrons are trash that don't know how to dress. but I guess for SF this is as good as they can muster?
- Lauren HSeptember 9, 2013$1K well-spent. Don't forget to get cozy in the $500 cashmere throw at your table.
