    Beef bao bites was and al pastor bao bites
    Candace Y.

    First visit to Saizon Restaurant in Fresno. My oh my, but this has elevated my opinion of fine dining in this town. Atmosphere is elegant, relaxing, yet no one feels the need to formally overdress(my impression). On a midweek evening, reservations are required, fair warning. We were a group of 5. We were led to a comfortable corner booth and given time to peruse the menu and make our selections. The style of service seems to be small plates. Lots of East -West fusion inspired dishes. (For example, tasty al pastor bao buns. ) We ordered a variety of plates, starting with the beet carpacchio. Each dish was pretty amazing. This is an experience to share with people close to you. Extremely pleasant culinary delights. Examine the photos of each dish. The cocktails here were highly recommended. However, I couldn't resist ordering a Scotch single malt: Obama 14 Year. It accompanied my meal splendidly. If it was this busy on a weeknight, I think it was be too crowded on a weekend. Highly recommend. Our server was excellent.

    Gosh! If I didn't like cooking so much I would eat here for brunch and dinner every day. The food is so breathtakingly spectacular, and don't get me started on the handcrafted drinks. I have been to Saizon for a good amount of its dinner services and a few of its brunch services and no matter what time of day, it will always hit the spot (though I do prefer the dinner menu). Parking is a bit chaotic because you have other marvelous local stores and eateries near by I.e Ampersand, Otherside, Revival 23, etc. But the food really does make up for it. You walk in and the lights are dimmed adding a very sultry atmosphere, the music is spectacular when you can hear it from the white noise of chatter from how full it is, which is expected by a restaurant that serves the best of the best, and the hosts as well as their service are beyond nice, always checking in at the right time and nailing at sounding very genuine. Tiniest bit I had was a salmon dish that had a very sweet sauce, which the sauce personally was not for me as sweet/seafood is not really my vibe. However the fish flaked beautifully, the vegetables were perfectly blanched. Every other seafood dish (with a couple of sample-bites of my boyfriend's steak dishes) has been 1,000,000 out of 10. You must try the speciality drinks! As a 'drink snob' these are very unique and you can't find them anywhere else. The head chef that is in charge for all of the Saizon-family restaurants is truly ahead of the game. You will always catch me supporting this restaurant family P.S. (if you don't know where to start, begin with the Truffle Mac and Cheese!!!)

    Finally got to try brunch and can't wait to come back! It's packed, so I suggest a reservation. Our server was super nice and attentive, the vibes were great, and the food was delicious. My favorite dishes were the oysters and the Pork Belly Eggs Benedict, but all four dishes we got were superb! Also, if you like espresso martinis, theirs is creamy with just the right amount of sweetness.

    Came here for dinner to celebrate two friends' birthdays. Everyone enjoyed the drinks and food. The highlights were the crispy bluefin nigiri and the Cali cut. One critique, we had two orders of the truffle mac and cheese and one had very little truffle flavor compared to the other. The place itself has a good vibe and is on the more upscale side. Service was great! Everyone was nice and attentive! And at the end of dinner, they brought out two sorbets with candles for our birthday girls.

    Wow!!! This place had wonderful food and service. Rafael was an incredible waiter who went out of their way to provide amazing recommendations and make us feel special. The food is so delicious and worth the price. We will be back.

    Chose this place to celebrate a birthday and definitely made the right decision. We were seated right away (had reservations). The food was amazing and beautifully plated. The restaurant is has indoor and outdoor seating. They have a great selection of specialty drinks. However be prepared to pay a hefty surcharge for a large clear ice cube. I recommend this restaurant for any special occasion since it is on the higher end of price for restaurants in the area but totally worth it. The restaurant was completely full so ensure to have reservations if you want to secure a table without waiting a long time.

    Went for the brunch menu for the first time. It's a unique menu so I would recommend reviewing it prior to going. The price of course is more which was expected. I went with my family for Mother's Day. The staff were friendly and ready to answer any questions. I enjoyed two mixed drinks which was plenty to relax a mama. I think I would stick to the dinner menu. The ambiance is beautiful and aesthetic.

    We had some gift cards to use so why not come and have dinner? Amazing as always!! Great service! Great staff! Great food!!! We sat outside on Monday evening and it was perfect weather. We ate and were about to leave but decided to sit down and have some drinks inside. The bartender was great he made me some drinks based off of what I wanted and we talked about baseball. To the point where I ended up buying tickets that night to a dodger game. There's nothing bad I'll ever say about this place. Because when they sent burnt lamp chops out they took it back and made new ones. This is one restaurant I will always recommend and also suggest family style so everyone can share different plates. We usually order 4-5 plates and split it for our group, to start get ceviche both options are great.

    Saizon is still one of my top favorite restaurants in Fresno. The service and the ambience are always on point. The shrimp rigatoni remains my favorite dish. It's just so good every time. On this visit, we tried a few new things. The scallops were amazing, and the cauliflower mash they came with was incredibly tasty. The quail, however, wasn't my favorite. It had a lot of breading and not much meat. I think I would've preferred baked quail over breaded fried quail. We also tried a new amaretto-flavored dessert. It was good, but not something I'd need to order again. Overall, it was a lovely evening. I'll definitely be back for the pasta and, of course, the oysters and scallops!

    Waited for sometime before the restaurant open up at 5pm. Delicious food, great ambiance. Best beets salad I've ever had.

    This place is truly amazing. I come here with my girls for both lunch and dinner all the time, and it honestly never misses. No matter the time of day, the vibe is always on point. The ambiance is so cute and aesthetic, perfect for taking pictures and just enjoying the moment. Everything about the space feels intentional, from the decor to the lighting, which makes it a great spot to relax, catch up, and feel good while you're there. What really elevates the experience is the staff. They are always kind, welcoming, and genuinely accommodating. One time, I came with a friend who has a chicken allergy, and they handled it so well without making it feel like an inconvenience. That level of care really stands out. The food comes out quickly, whether you're there for lunch or dinner, and it is always full of flavor. The steak is cooked to perfection every time, tender and seasoned just right. I highly recommend pairing it with their mocktail Hugo Spritz, it complements the meal perfectly and adds to the overall experience. The aesthetic of the place ties everything together. It is one of those spots where you can enjoy great food, great company, and leave with both a full stomach and cute pictures. It is a little on the pricier side, but for the quality, service, and overall experience, it is definitely worth the money.

    Beet carpaccio
    Diane K.

    I've been hearing a lot about this restaurant for quite some time, so I finally decided to try it out this past Sunday. I chose to try their brunch. Not sure how it differs from their evening menu, but there were plenty of intriguing options. The ambience is wonderful! It feels like you've left Fresno and landed in SF or LA. But first, remember that reservations are a must as this place is hopping. We sat outside and it was really sweet. I'm on the wagon for now, so I ordered a na Betty White cocktail. It was so yummy! Very refreshing and pretty. We got both the avocado and beet salad appetizers, and we probably should have stopped there, but we each order a main dish as well. The avocado dip was the very best I've ever had! No joke. Served with toasted tortillas, it was outstanding. The beet carpaccio was good, but I'm not a huge beet fan, so I wasn't as impressed, but the presentation and amount they gave us was immense. My sister ordered the crab tostados and I had the taquitos de papa. They were really beautifully done. I've gotta be honest, I probably would've enjoyed them more if I wasn't already stuffed from the appetizers! The wait staff was very attentive, and service was immaculate. Now I know why there are so many 5 star reviews. Can't go wrong here, something for everyone, decent prices, excellent options. Just tr

    Another great visit to saizon. Service is always excellent- attentive, friendly, and upbeat. We definitely always feel welcome here. The food is always fresh, flavorful and upscale. The atmosphere is relaxing and trendy. The drinks, and deserts are fabulous. I don't always order either at other restaurants but do here.

I don't have a picture of it, but if it's on the menu when you visit, definitely order it! Their cocktails are also fantastic and pair perfectly with the food. If you're ever in Fresno, Heirloom is absolutely worth checking out.

Some high end places get a little skimpy, especially with the sides. Not here! This time around, I ordered the Prime Rib, got the whipped potatoes and substituted the Brussels sprouts. Both were generous portions. Also love the added touch that they'll give you fresh horseradish to go along with the horseradish cream for a little extra kick. My wife had the Ribeye, which we've both ordered before, and it's delicious. She ordered the cashew green beans, but they were very saucy and some were burnt. When brought up to the server, she said she would have the kitchen make her a fresh ordered without hesitation. Within a few minutes, a nice sized portion of fresh Cashew Green Beans arrived! The Wedge Salad is also delicious and generously portioned. It could actually be a meal for someone, if so inclined. The atmosphere is also very welcoming and private. We've sat inside and on the patio, and actually preferred the patio seating! I can't say enough about the hospitality of the staff though. There's a gentleman who is either the lead host or a manager, that's been there both times. He takes a personal interest in the customers and makes sure to visit each table, which you don't often see. As we were walking out, he was also walking out behind us. Even though we were a few steps ahead, he wished us (again) a happy anniversary and to have a great night! This is a special place in Fresno and a great choice for a special occasion.

The French toast was a nicer experience, fluffy and satisfying, though a bit small for the price and pretty simple in flavor. Nothing that wowed me, but solid enough. Service was a bit slow, and even something as simple as a fountain drink refill took longer than it should have. Not a dealbreaker, but noticeable.
