Saison. An excellent menu that reminded me of why I fell in love with the restaurant many years ago. #latergram
Back to one of my favorites. Now under new management, Chef Laurent Gras took over and put his style already on Saison.
More classical with dishes like tagliatelle with white truffels, a great dish but something which would have been never served in the "old" Saison.
However, Saison still shines with world class dishes like the pink sea bream, the carb and the squab.
Back at @saisonsf after far, far too long. Excellent as always, and really exciting to taste @laurentgras first new dishes.

The meal itself was very good, as expected. Some of the slightly changed classics did the job (sea urchin). The antelope as the meat course was outstanding, tender and moist but with a very distinct taste which made it special. The peas as good as it gets.
I am looking forward to go there in December, but this time I might bring my own tools :) Less
