ABOUT

Saison Hospitality was established in 2016 as a joint venture between Chef Joshua Skenes, Winemaker Mark Bright, and serial entrepreneurs Gary Gauba and Jag Kapoor.
Our goal is to continue the hospitality, unique methodology, and innovations of Saison while providing a platform for growth and opportunity. We utilize the most innovative techniques to create new classics. Great food is the backbone of what we do and what further differentiates us is our passion for storytelling through experience.
Saison Hospitality includes Saison, Angler San Francisco and Angler Los Angeles, as well as Saison Cellar, Saison Winery, Saison Smokehouse, Saison@Home and Saison Provisions.

In 2016, eight years after the original restaurant Saison was conceived, Saison Hospitality was formed by Saison co-founder and Saison Winery winemaker Mark Bright, alongside serial entrepreneurs and restaurateurs Jag Kapoor and Gary Gauba. We are an award-winning, sustainable group of restaurants and concepts across the Bay Area dedicated to evolving in the world of food, wine, and hospitality.

We utilize the most innovative techniques to create new classics. Great food is the backbone of what we do. Our passion for storytelling through experiences and our holistic approach to the hospitality business make us who we are. We create ideas and brands that set the trend, or sometimes buck it. We are a passionate, creative team of highly experienced restaurant professionals that plan, develop, operate, and advise.
