First time here.. service was excellent, food was delicious and didn't take long to arrive.. the ambiance was perfect... patio table with this weather it's for the perfect dinner read more

this is the second time we have eaten here. Once for brunch and the second for dinner. Both menus were very good. we still can't figure out what kind of food they serve here, but we haven't had anything we disliked! They do strange things to food here, all very unique and tasty! The service is great, bar is super, and always very busy so call early to get in. We even got a free round of champagne for our anniversary! if you're looking for something different, you will find it here! read more

Incredible! Ambiance was fun and the food was absolutely delicious. All the staff was very friendly and welcoming- would highly recommend it. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Came for a celebration dinner and it was a wonderful spot. We sat outside and they turned the heater on for us. The service was fantastic and the food was delicious. Without even asking, we were served a complimentary dessert as 3/4 of us were moving away (hence the reason for the dinner). I'm sad I waited so long to try this spot because everything was fantastic. read more

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. read more

Fresno's food scene is up and coming, especially with Saizon. I'm a Central Valley local but have lived near the Bay Area for over 10 years. Saizon definitely matches San Jose/Santana Row vibes. The restaurant itself is beautiful-inside and out! The drinks were pretty delicious and the small bites were equally good. Service was spot on- thanks Cambria! Will return when I'm in town to see what else the menu offers! read more

Saizon blew us away! The restaurant is beautiful and the service is top-notch. We opted for a ton of small plates to share rather than the big entrees. Some of our favorites were the market ceviche, the white bean hummus, and the lamb chops. The cocktails were quite tasty! read more

Saizon was so good. From start to finish, the experience felt thoughtful and elevated. Our waitress Kennedy was awesome--friendly, knowledgeable, and perfectly timed. The entire team was attentive, constantly refilling our waters without us having to ask. A nice touch that really stood out: free sparkling water refills, not just flat mineral water. For food, the Chilean sea bass was delicious--perfectly cooked and flavorful. Kennedy recommended a drink that came with a piece of chili pepper, and it was excellent; balanced, refreshing, and just the right amount of heat. We also ordered the pork belly bao. You get two pieces per order, and while the portion is small, they were incredibly delicious and satisfying. The crispy rice with bluefin tuna was pretty good overall, but it leaned a bit sweet for my taste. I personally prefer something more savory, so that dish wasn't my favorite--but still well executed. Cool vibe and decor. Dimly lit atmosphere with great energy. Overall, great food, great service, and thoughtful details that elevate the experience. Definitely a spot worth coming back to. read more

It was time to visit Saizon once more and today was the day, I sat at the bar and enjoyed the company of the bartender and our humor was compatible. The lunch menu is large enough to satisfy most people and the bar items are without number so with that being said I ordered a pistachio martini first and enjoyed that until my Tiger ceviche arrived. As you can tell by the pictures all servings are professionally prepared and with the service to match the lunch was a success. I do appreciate the decor and open space throughout the restaurant and for me the lack having Televisions there is refreshing. Everyone from the hostess to the servers and bartenders were very nice and I felt that anything I could need would be offered without hesitation, good management encouraged good employees and the personal here are some of the best. read more

An amazing dinner like last time. The food is all so delicious! Both Kelly our server and the gentleman bussing tables (who I swear did not stop moving and kept our water cups full) were incredibly friendly without overstaying at the table. I wish I had requested the patio it looked like such a beautiful day, but inside was comfortable as well. read more

My first time here for a friend's birthday and I was impressed! Great vibes and dim lighting. Got seated in the heated and covered patio. Ordered guacamole and chips, chicken taquitos, and Norwegian salmon and everything was perfect! They give you tostadas for the chips and you can ask for refills! Chicken taquitos were my favorite thing and it was delicious and had a ton of sauce. Water glass was ALWAYS full. Staff were always on top of it, not even joking he must've came around like 20 times. A bit on the pricier side for things on the menu but it was definitely a good experience here. Would recommend! read more

Saizon never misses! Absolute treat to have here in Fresno. Just went back to Saizon for the second time to celebrate a birthday, and honestly, this place is 2 for 2. Even though the place was packed, as it always seems to be, the service was incredibly quick. The servers here really know their stuff. They're attentive and give the best recommendations if you're a first-timer and don't know where to start. You can tell they care about the craft. I ordered the Lemon Shrimp Rigatoni and the Truffle Mac. If you are a fan of citrus, you have to get this. It has house-made rigatoni, Mexican white shrimp and a lemon-crème fraîche sauce that is the perfect balance of zesty and flavorful. It is probably the best citrus pasta I've ever had. And for the Truffle Mac, this was solid! It's made with cavatelli and queso fundido, but it actually tastes really light. The cheese and truffle don't feel heavy or overwhelming at all. The portion is good for one person, but if you're with a group of 3 or more and want to share, definitely grab two orders. Overall, I'd highly recommend Saizon for anything from a big celebration to just a casual dinner. The atmosphere is super high-energy and even when they're slammed, the food comes out so quick. Definitely a favorite! read more

Great service, the interior design and decor is amazing to look at. Servers and bartenders were friendly and helpful.

Decided to give them a try again to celebrate a birthday. It concerned me that the patio was only available. Turns out the patio was warm and inviting. Didn't have the makings for a drink on their menu was a little disappointing. Started with oysters which were good. Got a Oaxacan Old Fashioned which is always good. Had the Al Pastor Bao Buns. Also very good. We split the ribeye and green beans. Green beans were my favorite. Was pleasantly surprised that they recognized the birthday by providing a sorbet! This is a first for us at this restaurant. "Jacob" (assume he was management introduced himself and asked how the evening went. I will be back! read more

I used to live in the area and really impressed to see how this has changed. Everything from the amazingly well trained staff to the food was amazing. Stunning to see how the Smittcamp family of restaurants continue to impress and distinguish themselves from their other places. Most restauranteurs would just build a chain. Had the offerings of blue fin tuna with a fried rice base which was fantastic and appreciate the textures. The guac was well balanced with textures and acidity and the lamb with the side of yogurt based sauce with chili oil was inventive and delicious. Lastly in addition to cocktails, never had a server coming round with both still and sparkling water to top off. What a gem of place read more

The over all atmosphere of the place is awesome. Really enjoyed the interactions I had with the staff and appreciated their input on drinks. I was taken back to what I would consider my glory days in the kitchen doing fine dining among other culinary activities. Something I would take into consideration is the seasoning. The dishes look so great to the eyes but personally everything besides the grilled oysters was under seasoned. Everything. Now I won't say it's the same as nursing home food. Definitely not but the seasonings... the spice. For the price definitely expected more flavor. Brought some food home so I'll add my own seasoning to it but definitely felt like they're seasoning their food for 60 year olds who can't have sodium.... The other thing was the bathrooms. The men's bathroom had one urinal and two stalls. Normally you wouldn't think that would be an issue but for the price point and what I expect out of a place of this standard don't expect to stand at the bathroom in a line for 10 minutes. At a dive bar, note then likely it's gonna happen. But I definitely was taken back by that. Great staff makes it an easier experience but as far as the flavor goes ask for salt and pepper. You're gonna need it. Bathroom wise don't drink too much because if you do you'll be in a line, even on a Tuesday. I'll be back that's for sure but I'll definitely be asking for extra seasoning. Grilled oysters took the spot light tonight. You don't wanna miss out on those. read more

Came to Saizon for a birthday brunch. I didn't have the best experience prior but this was a great one. I shared the potato taquitos and churro French toast with a friend. Both were great. I do wish the food would have been a bit more warm. The frozen espresso martini was amazing! I actually would now come back and give it a try for dinner. read more

My best friends took my husband and me to this place to celebrate birthdays. The food was amazing! Four of us shared different plates. The guacamole, ceviche, salad, Mac and cheese, steak and pudding, all were delicious. Our drinks were also spot on waitress was friendly and helpful. read more

Reservations are a must here. I booked ours a week in advance and I'm glad I did, because this place was packed. It's definitely one of Fresno's "it" spots. It's upscale while still laid-back, which is a rare balance to pull off. We were seated on the patio, and stepping out there felt like being transported. Think elevated, beachy, Tulum vibes with a touch of California chic. Inside, the atmosphere leans more toward an upscale lounge/bar scene. By the time the night gets going, you can feel the energy shift, dinner melts seamlessly into a lively bar crowd, and it's a vibe. The food? Amazing. Portions are generous, so my tip is to order your entrée first and then see if you actually need sides (we didn't & ended up our side dishes home). Drinks were on point, too. There was a small hiccup with some dishes, but the staff handled it beautifully. Our server, Celeste , looped in the manager right away, and they took such good care of us. Honestly, the level of customer service stood out, I even called ahead because we were running late, and they were so kind about holding our table without marking us as a no-show. The only downside: service on the patio is a bit slower compared to the more fast-paced dining inside, and our food took a little while to come out. But honestly, sitting outside felt relaxed and worth it. Overall, this was one of the best first experiences I've had at a restaurant in a long time. Great food, great drinks, great vibe, and top-tier hospitality. We'll definitely be back. read more

Went here for the first time for brunch. Started with a great Espresso Martini. The food was the star today.

Ohhh Saizon , you were a complete wonderful experience. Made reservations a few weeks ahead of time. This place was busy , but still the service was great. We sat at a bar booth, which was a rounded and comfortable booth, and had a view of the bar and the dinning room. Our server was attentive, but not overbearing. He was very knowledgeable of the menu and made some personal recommendations. To celebrate our special occasion, the restaurant gave us each a glass of champagne, wowza! Great way to kick off our celebration! We ordered the pork belly baos as our appetizer, yummy. The fried onions, gave it a nice crunchy texture. For dinner we ordered prime spiced sirloin, with veggies and 3x cooked potatoes. Grilled to perfection! Whatever that sauce was under the veggies, was killer. Spicy, tasteful, and powerful. The 3x potatoes were delicious. Love love love this restaurant! read more

Location: Saizon Date: August 17, 2025 Service: Sunday Brunch Earlier today, my son and I met some friends and for brunch today. I made the appointment online via toast on website in advanced like three days ago. My son was super excited to go to brunch today and have a nice time and go eat. Have a good food. Talk a little bit. Chill a little bit good vibes all day everywhere. Once we arrive, we got outside to our table immediately and the patio area. Kaleigh our server was on point with customer service. They have a mist machines going in the fan so it's cool refreshing relaxing. We got our food service right away. Everything was delicious. Priced reasonably everyone greeted us.

Still one of my favorite spots in the area for weekend brunch! The standout this time was the poblano and mushroom omelette--super flavorful and well balanced. It came with a side salad dressed in champagne vinaigrette, which was a pleasant surprise. The tiger ceviche was solid, and the churro French toast was just as delicious as I remembered. Our server was friendly and checked in regularly, which we appreciated. My only note is I wish they offered more coffee options with their brunch menu. They only had drip coffee, and it was very acidic--possibly just that day, but it seems like they lean more toward alcoholic brunch drinks. read more

Took the family to Saizon and wow this place is popping! Great bar scene, nice outdoor seating with cooling fans and misters, and large comfortable tables for any size party!

Woah. Okay. Yes it's boujee and yes it's expensive. But the quality of the food and the service of the staff are unbeatable. Im not normally a huge fan of oysters and crab, but the seafood tower was so fresh, and so delicious. The Cali cut was tender, juicy steak. The Lemon Shrimp Rigatoni and the Mac n cheese were so good, I was speechless. Like I said, insanely great quality and everything is fresh and tasty. Highly highly recommend read more

This is my second time at Saizon, and every time I've been so impressed. Personally, I love their winter menu much more than the summer one, but the food always hits. The waiter was really nice and gave excellent service. Every time I've come here, the staff has been super friendly and welcoming. For drinks, I had the lychee martini and the old fashioned. Between the two, the lychee martini was definitely my favorite. The flavors worked really well together. The old fashioned was a bit too sweet for my taste, especially for that type of drink. The truffle mac and cheese is seriously to die for. One of the best I've ever had. It is a small appetizer though, so I recommend ordering two if you are in a bigger group. You won't regret it. The Atlantic salmon was really good. I loved the orange sauce and the summer veggie mix. The sides complemented the dish nicely. The flatiron steak with mushroom risotto was absolutely chef's kiss. I loved how all the flavors came together. The steak was cooked perfectly medium rare, just how I like it. Not pictured, but I also tried the tiger shrimp ceviche and the guacamole. The ceviche was fantastic. I really enjoyed the flavors. The guacamole was just okay. I will definitely be coming back. This is a must-visit spot anytime you are in Fresno. read more
