We saw Saint + Council and considered trying it for our date night. We were extremely please with the food, prices were reasonable for a date night location, and the service was great. Only downfall was a table by us was EXTREMELY loud, but that’s isn’t the restaurants fault.

First time here. Perfectly tucked away at the back of Chido and Padres. It’s still decorated with the Christmas/holiday theme which was amazing. Great music going, extra friendly staff from the time you go in until you leave. Definitely a hidden gem for a unique experience. I got the Mistletoe Margarita, a little too tart and bland for me but presentation was great. Great energy Ave vibe here. Overall great experience!!
