   The Saint is a Saint Helena gem, with amazing boutique wines from small producers not widely found on wine lists, and fantastic food from Market next door, another Saint Helena gem. Stephanie at the bar was warm and attentive, and fun to chat with. The lounge vibe makes The Saint a great place to just hang out, especially on a slow night; you won't be hurried out the door and can usually meet a few other locals stopping in for an after work cocktail or fine glass of wine.

   This restaurant has potential but needs some baseline changes.

   Courtney - thank you for your detailed review. Although 1 star reviews are painful to read, the detailed content helps us improve our operations and guest experience. In our 7 years in business, we've been humbled by many 5 star reviews and a few on the other end. I try to learn from all of them and make necessary changes. We have addressed some of your concerns. We now have 8 purse hooks under the bar. We've also retrained our new staff members on leaving the cork at the table with the bottle. This is our procedure, as is placing utensils at each setting upon arrival and refreshing them as needed throughout the meal. Obviously, we fell short of that standard when you were there. We're working on the rest. I'm glad you enjoyed the salmon! Heidi (owner)

   We had a dinner reservation for my husband and I at 5 pm on Saturday. It was not crowded at all. It was our first time. Our server, Amanda, kind of took away a good experience for us. For the first time in my life, I had to repeat my order 4 times in the span of 30 minutes. Not sure if she was going through a rough day or a health issue. But I was shocked when I had to repeat my order to her every 5-10 minutes. It's ok not being able to memorize. But I would have just written down at that point. It's quite embarrassing to be in the service industry and have this type of behavior. It was almost like she didn't really listen to anything we said for drinks, food etc. I told her I am vegetarian and she asked me if I wanted chicken in my food order. On top of it, we had to wait 20 minutes just to get our wine. We could physically see the glasses were poured, but she forgot to bring those to us. Overall, the service was kind of meh for how low crowded time we were there. I don't think I would eat at this restaurant again.

   Hiral, Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m sorry to hear that our service didn’t meet expectations during your visit. We strive to provide attentive and seamless service, and it sounds like we fell short. Your feedback about the delays and miscommunication is concerning, and I've addressed it with our team and made some changes to ensure better attentiveness moving forward. We truly appreciate your input and would love the opportunity to make it right. If you’re open to it, please reach out—we’d love to welcome you back and provide the experience we aim for.

   Harsh was attentive, friendly and provided excellent service. We had requested the vault room when we made rsvp but upon arrival were told it had been already booked. We were shown a back room which was a very good alternative. Menu a bit abbreviated but food was tasty.

   First time, and totally recommend here. We were there on a Saturday evening when there was live music as well. Food was delicious, Best gnocchi I have had - they were so light. We had crab cakes, burrata, salad with fillet and fries and a delicious crème brûlée. Connected with the Market next but a more intimate setting I felt.

   Great dinner at Saint after a Christmas Concert. We enjoyed a lovely Schramsberg sparkling wine and a bottle of Howell Mountain Petite Verdot paired with hamburgers and roast chicken with garlic mashed potatoes.

   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.

    Food and ambience were fantastic. Kim T. delivered excellent service, and we were seated in the highly coveted Vault Room for my wife’s birthday. Highly recommend.
