    Another positive experience at The Saint where quality of food once again very good. The restaurant was very busy which contributed to a delay in serving main course. Otherwise all good

    I did not like the fact there were 2 dogs beside me in the restaurant while I was eating with my family and son. The service was quite slow and the food was nice but nothing special.

    They were out of both my first and second choice on the menu and I was only told this after trying to order both, separate times. We were just there as a 2 and yet were sat at a round booth table big enough for 4, with 3 seats on the non booth side as well so the table felt very odd. Food was okay but a little bland. Unlikely we’ll be back.
