Saint Ann Restaurant & Bar

What a perfect way to wrap up an incredible birthday weekend! We kicked things off with an expertly crafted espresso martini and a bold, flavorful Bloody Mary--both absolute standouts and the perfect start to a leisurely brunch. The service was impeccable--attentive without being intrusive, allowing us to fully enjoy the experience. The Order: - Cathead Biscuit Sandwich - Layers of crispy bacon, a perfectly cooked egg, melted cheese, and rich, savory gravy nestled inside a biscuit that was light, buttery, and delightfully crisp. I added a touch of strawberry jam to the top half, which made for a sweet and salty bite that was the perfect way to end the meal. - Chicken Fried Steak - A true comfort classic, smothered in thick, creamy gravy that tasted like it came straight from grandma's kitchen. Paired with two perfectly cooked eggs and a hearty serving of hash, it was everything you'd want from a Southern brunch. I'm so glad we made the stop at Saint Ann's before heading back to Collywood. This spot is a must-visit, and I'll absolutely be back for another round. Highly recommend!

As a first-time guest, I am unsure where to start. One star is for the quality decor, which beautifully maintains the integrity of history--very cool. However, the fake plants hanging from the ceiling need to be replaced with real ones, as they appear tacky. The other star is for the chicken meal, which was roasted to perfection and very tasty. Unfortunately, I cannot award any additional stars due to the terrible customer service and the wine selection process. Apparently, there is a sommelier, but the manager explained that they have been undergoing some wine changes for the past three months, rendering the menu largely irrelevant. We chose ten different bottles of wine, and none were available.While our server was kind, he stated that his hands were tied and he had no control over the menu. When we asked to see the manager, we waited about 20 minutes for him to arrive. He mentioned he hoped our server would resolve the issue, but the server was unaware of the specifics. All we wanted to convey was that the manager should cross off all unavailable wines to avoid wasting our time.Ultimately, we did not want to spend almost $90 on a bottle of wine we didn't even love. At the end of our meal, the manager returned and stated that, politically speaking, he had no authority to improve the situation due to red tape with the restaurant's owners. He expressed his difficulty in making improvements.Instead of bringing out a dessert--which we did not need--he should have provided us with a couple of available wine choices and offered a discount off our bill. While the food was spectacular, I would not return, as it seems the owners of Saint Anne's do not truly understand the essence of food and beverage service.

Starting off service from the hostess was horrible we waited almost 20 minutes for a 9:30 pm reservation to even be acknowledged. Then only to be told she was working on other parties. Unacceptable! The entire staff looked defeated. Sadly, our experience did not get any better...... food was really bad. Our waiter Drew was remarkable and tired to make the best out of a bad situation that was beyond his control. This is not how we wanted to spend our NYE ........... really saddened. They had a live band or duo and it was good music ....

Saint Ann is a consistent brunch.You know what you are going to get from a food perspective.Nestled in the heart of downtown the ambiance has a mix of outdoor and indoor seating.This is perfect for small and large groups. Their menu is very diverse and has great options for everyone.The staff is great and attentive. They are were able to accommodate our last minute request for a birthday.I highly recommend reservations but there is plenty of walk-in tables as well.

Queso was really good. Drinks were unique. Service was a little lacking despite not being busy. But nice ambiance, modern, large bar area and large outdoor area.

When there with some friends. Definitely a trendy place. Make sure to valet because parking is hard. There was only one chicken dish, which was delicious. Good selection of wine and cocktails.

No exaggeration this may be the best donut I've ever tasted. The deviled eggs were great too!

This place is so cute and the perfect brunch with the girls vibe. They even have a museum upstairs (I didn't check it out but saw a sign for it) Food: The bacons wrapped chicken was top tier! The calamari did not disappoint at all and the lobster toast was amazing and filling; they were not stingy with the lobster which was a major plus.. Service: I was with a group of 10 and the restaurant was very accommodating and our server did a great job. Overall: Would recommend and looking forward to visiting again.

So you fancy, huh?!! That was my first impression after looking at Saint Ann's website and after getting seated. I flew into Dallas over the weekend and met up a good friend for lunch. I thought this place was going to cost an arm and a leg but fortunately, the price wasn't too bad. I was very surprised as the food was very delicious as well!For appetizers, we orders the meatballs. Now I am not really a meatball person so I would never have ordered this dish if it were up to me. My husband, however, loves his meatballs and suggested we get it for our apps. The first bite of that meatball and I was hooked! That sauce that they had the meatball in was AMAZING! It was rich in flavor but the sauce was not thick. It was perfect.For my dish - I got the shrimp and grits. I'm still missing the food from our New Orleans trip a few months ago so whenever I see it on the menu, I usually have to get it. The grits on this dish was different from any I've ever had. Instead of it being like an oatmeal consistency like normal grits, it was more of a cake, if that makes sense. It was more of a cake and the shrimp rested on top of the cake. But whatever you call it, it was pretty freakin' tasty and I would get it again in a heartbeat! It satisfied the shrimp and grits craving I had that day!I also had a sample of my friends lobster Mac and cheese dish. It was rich and buttery and lobstery and cheesy - if you love seafood and Mac and cheese, you can't go wrong with this dish!My husband got the chicken fried steak - I just had a little bite of his steak but wasn't in the mood for that texture so I cant really give an honest review. But I didn't not like it. I just wanted to deep dive into my shrimp and grits!Upstairs where the restroom is located, there is a museum of Samurai's. Threw me off guard a little as it was the last thing I expected. Looks pretty cool in there and I believe admission is free. You would just need to scan a little barcode by the sign and schedule your visit.We came on a Friday for lunch and it seemed like it was a popular place for work people to have a lunch meeting. Lots of people dressed in their business casual attire.Overall, I highly recommend coming here for lunch! The food is amazing! Our server was pretty great as well - very attentive and knowledgeable.

Gorgeous space in the heart of the Harwood District. A bit pricey, however they are in downtown Dallas so that is to be expected.Excellent service - 110%. They offer a stunning outdoor space and a small art gallery upstairs. I enjoy going alone and writing during their HH at the bar. Give it a whirl!
