Saison began as a pop-up restaurant in 2009, conceived by Chef Joshua Skenes and Partner/Wine Director Mark Bright. After Saison’s initial success, Skenes and Bright opened a brick and mortar restaurant in 2010. In 2013, Saison moved to its current location on 178 Townsend St. and was selected as one of Bon Appetit’s “10 Best New Restaurants of 2013.” In addition, the UK-based Elite Traveler named Skenes as one of the “15 Most Influential Chefs of the Next Decade.” In the spring of 2014, Saison received the “One to Watch” in Restaurant Magazine’s annual 50 Best Restaurants Awards in London, a 4-star rating from the San Francisco Chronicle and a 3-star rating from the Michelin Guide.
