"Wood-fired New American cuisine might sound tired, but there’s a good reason Saison continues to hang onto its place in the pantheon of celebrated San Francisco restaurants. Not only does the cavernous dining room exhibit a carefully crafted balance of elegance and simplicity, but the menu also effortlessly marries premium ingredients including caviar and uni with duck and antelope. The tasting menu starts at $298 with beverage pairings, gratuity, and other fees not included." - Lauren Saria
