gave the restaurant and excellent rating because the food was so overwhelmingly well prepared, spectacularly delicious, flawless I presentation and proportion, however I was less impressed with the service which felt theatrical during parts of the meal, a distraction to the food, too much talk around Chef Crenn’s background while growing up in Normandy, and dizzying levels of waitstaff circulation in the dining room. That said, if you are a foodie, it is definitely worth a try, if only once. Been there, loved the food, will unlikely repeat a visit for reasons noted above.
Michael took me here for an unforgettable evening. The meal was light and elegant, yet full of storytelling—each dish a gentle yet powerful expression of art. It was more than just a meal; it was an intimate journey, where time slowed and conversation flowed naturally.

This 3-Michelin starred restaurant was an epic experience!!! We reserved a table for five weeks before because getting reservation is difficult. Frankly, I wasn’t aware of Benu’s reputation but that night of I think 20-course dinner was truly delightful.
The restaurant has its own unique character. It offers an exquisite menu of Asian fusion dishes. The soup dumplings and Peking duck made me feel like I was back home; they were truly delicious. Every bite was delicious. The interior is minimalist, with pale white tones and almost bare walls. The focus is entirely on the food itself. It's amazing that the owner has such good taste.

Red wine goose liver mixed with osmanthus champagne pear is a dish that tasted quite good last year. The goose liver is wrapped in red mousse made of red wine. The taste of red wine suppresses the fishy smell of the goose liver, and it is paired with the osmanthus pear, which is refreshing and sweet, making the whole dish very interesting.
A five-star recommended western restaurant with a very good environment. Although the price is a little expensive, it is really not. The dishes are very carefully prepared, the presentation is like a work of art, and the western service is really good.

What a performance. This is definetely the new style in « fancy » dining. Relaxed atmosphere, relaxed but stylish service, absolute customer driven staff and management. All of the chefs did perform at their top, none of the dishes where average, they where all top and using local selected sourcing.
Had a wonderful time here last night! The food was amazing. I will definitely be back before I leave San Francisco next week.

Strawberry smoothie, light cream + sweet strawberries full of jam + smooth milk smoothie! I couldn't help but eat a few more bites even though I was full! This must be ordered as early as possible because it is served very slowly.
The food, service, and atmosphere were all fantastic! I ordered the standard tasting menu, and my friends ordered the vegetarian menu. I'd say this is the best Michelin-starred restaurant in San Francisco to take vegetarians to. Their dishes are incredibly creative, and their desserts are unique! I tried most of the items on both menus. The standard tasting menu featured passion fruit lobster, black cod, quail, and pasta.

Bay Area Star Picking Tour✨✨✨ The first one is Saison. It moved to the old factory building opposite the current AT&T Park in 2013. It is a restaurant with a more casual and free feeling. The modern design highlights the overall innovative dishes, and the fresh ingredients bring out the most original and special taste of the dishes. Except for the main dishes, which are a bit salty, the other tastes are very good. I especially like the sea urchin and desserts, which are very smooth and refreshing without being greasy. The wine pairing is quite ordinary, and there is no particularly outstanding wine.
First of all the food and service were both quite good at Saison and we really enjoyed the intimate view into the kitchen from our table which was only one in the few to be close by. The wine pairing was average at best and although it did a decent enough job with the food, it was way over priced for what you got.
That's the problem i guess with Saison, it's all good until start considering the price point where you realize it's simply isn't that caliber of food or experience for that price point.
Overall we had a good time, the food was good, service was good, it just lacked that wow factor for us.

This is a very good tasting menu restaurant. The details are all thought of. The food is delicious. The portions are small but enough so you enjoy the food. You don't get too full through the many courses
Sons&Daughters is a two-Michelin-star restaurant with exquisite dishes. It is especially suitable for diners who like the New Nordic style. It is definitely worth a try!

Shanhuyuan has a very high cost-effectiveness. Although the price is not cheap, the portion and quality of each dish are satisfactory and it is worth coming again!
The restaurant environment is simple and stylish, the service attitude is very good, and the side dishes are prepared before ordering, which makes people feel very considerate.
