First time and loved the experience. Fully decorated for Christmas and started our holiday off perfectly - even saw Santa and Mrs Claus. The food was delicious and so was the white sangria!

We have been to Saints + Council twice and both times were excellent. Our first visit was before going across the street to the Atlanta Symphony. The second was with our out of town guests. The ambiance was great. The food was excellent. Yousef, our waiter, did a very good job explaining the menu and making recommendations. We will go again.

Deciding to celebrate our 11th anniversary here did not disappoint. The decor, cocktails, munchies, and staff (shout out to Maria!) are amazing. We were sat in armchairs in front of the twinkle light fireplace which made it even more magical. 10 out of 10...highly recommend!

First time going there. Everything was really good! This was my first time eating chicken burger and they didn’t disappoint me. Food was very good with reasonable prices. Staff was nice and polite. We made a reservation and didn’t have to wait at all. We arrived and went straight to the table. The even took in count my request for space for the stroller. I would recommend it. The only bad thing is that brunch is only for weekends .
