SF's 2-Star Saison Healed My Soul on a Rainy Night 🌧️✨

A long-overdue review—just in time for Valentine's Day! 💘 Tried this spot 2-3 months ago on a whim (loved the name!) and opted for the **short menu**. No regrets—it was *magical*. 📍 **Hidden Gem Alert:** Tucked in a downtown SF industrial building, the unassuming door opens to a **nature-inspired oasis** 🌿—raw wood, stones, and organic textures. A refreshing break from NYC's stuffy "old money" Michelin vibes. 🍞 **First Bites:** - **Warm bread**: Crispy outside, cloud-soft inside. *Almost begged for seconds.* 🥖🔥 - **Handheld starters**: Served on *rocks, branches, and leaves*—like foraging in a fairy-tale forest. �🌰 - **Oyster**: Tropical fruit-infused—*instant beach vacation* 🏝️. - **Wagyu + bone marrow + caviar tart**: Umami *explosion* in one bite. 💥 - **Duck liver mousse**: Topped with citrus—*sweet-salty perfection*. 🦆🍊 - **Snow crab soup**: (Forgot to snap!) *Pure oceanic bliss*. 🦀 🍽️ **Mains (Short Menu? Felt Like a Feast!):** 🐷 **Braised Pork**: Melt-in-mouth tender + golden raisins = *flavor fireworks*. 🎆 🐟 **Black Cod**: Silky with pine nuts, mushrooms, clam broth—*umami symphony*. 🎻 🦆 **Duck**: Presented with drama 🎭 (paired with pear), but slightly under-seasoned for my taste. *(Mellise's duck still wins!)* 🍯 **Dessert & Finale:** 🍮 **Modern minimalist sweets**: No sugar bombs here—just elegant circles + *warm yuzu-honey tea* to soothe the soul. 🍊 🔥 **Menu sealed in wax + petit fours**: *Such a charming touch!* 💌 **Why It Shines:** ✨ Service: Attentive but *never stuffy*. ⏱️ Pacing: Flawless. 🌿 Vibe: *Cozy yet refined*—way better than comparable NYC spots. Already planning my **long menu** return! 🤩 #MichelinMagic #DateNightEats #SFFoodie #BayAreaFineDining #ValentinesDayPicks
