Maddie was our server. She made suggestions for dinner and we followed her lead. The food was delicious and her service was amazing. It was very cold outside and the hostess sat us next to the fireplace which was awesome. We have eaten here multiple times and have never been disappointed.

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.
