    After a nightmare with Toulouse in Plano cancellng my Valentine’s dinner without reason, I was devastated that I couldn’t find a special place suitable for my wonderful girlfriend and I. But what started as a disappointment ended up as one of the most incredible evenings ever! We both remembered a previous visit to Saint Ann’s….and I was lucky enough to get a last minute reservation! We even got our favorite table #14 the same as our first visit! Thank you to the staff, Linda, Desi and Tristyn for making us both feel like VIPs! The food was delicious and beautifully presented, and the desserts were a masterpiece! We both agreed that this was our best Valentine’s dinner ever! We will definitely be back again!

    Delicious from start to finish. Smoked salmon and blinis, avocado toast with dark bread and poached egg, (used the remaining smoked salmon on top of that), followed by profiteroles and double espressos. Wish they had dessert crepes on the menu. It was pretty loud but in fairness there was a wedding shower happening at the next table with at least a dozen awkward chittering college(?) girls drinking a little too much. But it was fun and a real surprise to have such a delicious brunch. A definite must!

    I can’t get enough of this place at all. Great food, Great environment, Great Everything. I will admit I went 2-13-25 and my food was amazing until I got my southern fried chicken and it was too salty. BUT, they brought out another fresh order quickly, and it was perfect. This place is literally perfect!
