Food was inconsistent. Price was beyond extortion. Antelope main was tough and not interesting. Biscuits were doughy, and undercooked. Uni toast was a extraordinary, and almost made up for the rest. The bill should have been 2/3 what was presented. Disappointing...

One of the best dining experiences we've ever had. Creative menu, unbelievable service, nice atmosphere. While not inexpensive, we felt it was worth every penny. Wine pairing was delightful.

You can't help but compare Saison to other Michelin 3 star restaurants, and as other reviewers have noted, it simply doesn't measure up given the very high price. Great food, yes. Very good service, yes. Great atmosphere, also yes.
