    Had the valentine prix fixe menu - was excellent and the wine pairings were well matched. The salad starter had pink lettuce, the scallops had pomegrantes in the sauce, and the black forest cake was heart shaped with cherries, emphasizing the Valentine theme. The noise level was reasonable - could talk and hear without raising our voices but we could hear other tables.

    Love, LOVE this hidden gem. We always sit at the bar and have best service! The martinis are ice cold and the blue cheese stuffed olives are fantastic! Split a salad with your dinner mate and don’t sleep on the mussels-they are out of this world delicious! Try the pork chop, steak frites, branzino, crab cakes, or prime rib—everything here is delicious!

    From the moment we walked into Saints + Council, I knew we were in for something special. The ambiance, a perfect blend of elegance and comfort, set the tone for an unforgettable culinary journey. The service was impeccable. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and eager to make recommendations that turned out to be spot-on. Every dish we ordered was a celebration of flavors. Now, let’s talk about the food. Each course was a masterpiece. We started with the crab dip and fried cauliflower, both a delightful fusion of fresh ingredients and bold flavors that danced on the palate. For the main course, I indulged in the salmon, cooked to perfection with a rich sauce that elevated the dish to new heights. We’ve all had our fair share of salmon, but this was next level! Every bite was tender and bursting with flavor, paired beautifully with crispy potatoes and asparagus. Dessert was the grand finale. The bread pudding was nothing short of perfection, a harmonization of textures and flavors that left me craving more. Overall, S+C exceeded our expectations in every way. The combination of exquisite food, exceptional service, and a warm atmosphere makes it a must-visit for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience. We can’t wait to return! Highly recommend!
