Saison was the first gastronomic restaurant to prepare open-hearth wood-fired cuisine. The former warehouse that is home to this San Francisco dining institution combines a rustic flavor with intimacy and refinement. The backdrop sets the tone for the culinary experience that takes place, which pays tribute to the local terroir as well as contemporary culinary technical innovation. The fertile abundance of the Californian landscape is a constant source of inspiration for Richard Lee, who works with the best producers, farmers and fishers in the region. Driven by a penchant for simplicity, the chef surprises with highly original ingredient combinations and subtle seasonal flavors, amplified by a flamboyant cooking method that has become his trademark. Alongside the food, the wine list is renowned as among the best in the United States, certainly equal to the creativity of the dishes. It is structured around the most remarkable vintages of the New and Old World, with a predilection for wines from Burgundy. And nothing quite compares to sipping buckwheat tea after a meal near to the flaming hearth.
