First time dining here - selection was excellent with many varied choices - lovely staff - delicious food - fabulous ambiance - however my choice of French Dip with onion rings was a little deflating when the server came back to announce that onion rings were not available today - in the end it was perfectly okay - substitute of Caesar salad was healthier and yummy

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.
