Absolutely fabulous plates! While the menu is small and doesn’t change often, their specials for the day are a great addition to the choices. One thing you have to do is learn how to say no because the waiters will offer you all these extras after you say no and no again… a bit annoying but we get through it.

We enjoyed my daughter in laws birthday lunch at The Saint. We had a swanky private room at the back of the wine bar. The food was very good. The service staff were helpful. It was easy to make a reservation for our party of 10.
