Saison Wine Bar invites wine lovers or anyone thirsty to enjoy a very personal list curated by Mark Bright and our team of Sommeliers, complemented by French wine bar fare. The vast wine collection - available by the glass, flight, or bottle - leans heavily into France while highlighting extraordinary global producers and our neighbors in Northern California. We showcase benchmark as well as niche labels, with deep verticals and highly allocated bottles. Our menu is designed for groups large and small to snack and savor, from traditional Croque Monsieurs or Pâté en Croûte, to our Signature Caviar Service and robust Charcuterie and Cheese program featuring imports and local artisans. The richly textured, classic "Saison blue" space offers banquettes, booths, and bar seating. We host winemaker events regularly. We are proudly part of Saison Hospitality - only a few minute walk from two Michelin-starred Saison! Our team is always here to taste, chat, or simply cheers. You're next!

We went for happy hour. The small menu has discounted prices for food and wines. Oysters were very good. Nice place for a date, meeting with friends or work meeting! Very good service.

Had a nice time! Great wines and food (get the croque monsieur!). Wish the overhead lits were a little more dim so a better mood ambience, but will definitely go again.

We went hoping for a romantic Valentine's date and were pretty underwhelmed. Food was very mid. Atmosphere, layout, and interior design were all very strange - lots of taxidermy deer on the walls paired with tacky light fixtures. It's like two different people designed it. Fries were cold, grapefruit mignonette with the oysters - why? Won't be coming back, save yourself $200.

We enjoyed our visit. There seemed to be confusion on who our server was. We put in an order with one, then 20 min later we put another order in with another server. Good thing we were not in a rush. We were there for 3 hours . Refills took a very long time- Longer then expected. How Ever We Will Be Back
