Saints + Council

I recently dined at Saints and Council in Atlanta while in town for business meetings, and I was fortunate to have Helen as my waitress. Despite a few hiccups--my chicken wasn't cooked properly, and the restaurant didn't have Johnnie Walker--Helen's service was absolutely stellar. She was attentive, professional, and went out of her way to ensure a positive dining experience. I really appreciated her warm demeanor and quick responses to any concerns.One thing to note is that when seated outside, there are quite a few water bugs that come out from the plants, which might be something to consider for management. I have nothing negative to say about the service. Helen truly made the evening enjoyable.I hope everyone is lucky enough to be served by Helen!

On a recent Saturday, my friend and I decided to treat ourselves to brunch at Saints + Council. The restaurant exuded an intimate and classy ambiance, complemented by the soothing melodies of a live band.From the moment we arrived, our waiter was kind and attentive, offering thoughtful recommendations that made us feel well taken care of. I opted for the Guatemala "El Volcan" House Coffee ($3), a medium brew with fruit notes. It arrived steaming hot!For my breakfast choice, I went with the Berry Crunch Dutch Baby ($17). This oven-baked pancake was impressively large and beautifully presented, adorned with an abundance of strawberries, blueberries, blackberry compote, crunchy streusel, and a light dusting of powdered sugar. While I have a sweet tooth, I found the dish to be overwhelmingly sweet, which masked some of the flavors of the berries. Additionally, the seeds kept getting stuck between my teeth, making it a bit less enjoyable. Ultimately, I could only manage to eat half of it.My friend chose the Crispy Chicken Dutch Baby ($21), which came topped with collard chips and hot honey maple syrup. She absolutely loved it, raving about the perfect balance of savory and sweet flavors.While my sweet dish didn't quite hit the mark for me, I would give Saints + Council another try and explore some of its other offerings. It has a diverse menu and a cozy vibe, so I think it's a restaurant worth visiting again.

Service: the host spilled a pint of water on me when she sat us at the table. She was not remorseful at all asking "are you okay" like I was emotionally distraught as opposed to soaking wet. She then went back to her post as if nothing happened leaving our server completely in the dark. Afterwards service never adjusted. Our water came out about 15min after ordering. The drinks we ordered were forgotten and placed after our appetizers. The "fresh" oysters came out saturated in a mignonette slaw. We sent them back, but by the time they returned they were warm and dry. 6 of 12 on the dish when they were taken from the table. My entree the Linguine, terrible. It tasted like CAMPBELLs chicken noodle soup. Extremely salty and lukewarm, easy cold shortly after landing at the table.The ambiance is nice if you can handle the flies that attack your meal and the servers that bump your table the entire time. First and last time. Too bad, it's in a really great spot. Food and service aren't worth the disappointment.

Very beautiful restaurant, inside and outside. Cocktails are *perfect* and the bartenders are super professional and friendly. Drinks were so good we came back for breakfast the next day. The food was good. It was pricey. The biscuit and jam was a big disappointment, not soft at all and came pre toasted and buttered so it was crispy. Was hoping for a big soft warm biscuit. My sister got the dutch baby. It looked extremely eggy, and was a pool of lemon curd. She ate only part of it, but did say the curd was excellent. My avocado toast was good and the avocado was very fresh and tasty, but there was an absolute mountain of onions. It was very good toast, but there was just too much of it. 2 huge pieces is excessive and should really be shared with someone if you can't have the option of a half order. Recommend.

For my first Saints + Council visit, I ordered the Goody Burger with a vegan black bean patty. The toppings are what made this sandwich. The combination of cheddar and American cheese was divine. The caramelized onions, house pickles and remoulade sauce countered the saltiness of the cheese with a sour and sweet tanginess. The black bean patty itself was well seasoned, although a bit mushy, which I know can be a turn off for some, but I didn't mind it. The burger would have been messy either way. The bun was soft and fluffy, but it didn't do the best job holding the sandwich together.The side of shoestring fries were crispy and just salty enough.I really liked the atmosphere inside and the service was great. I hope to return soon to explore more of the menu.

I really enjoyed this restaurant. The vibes were very cool - felt like a rustic yet fancy spot with dim lighting. You are definitely transformed when eating here. The food was delicious. I got the braised short rib and it was excellent. My fiancée got the salmon and enjoyed it. We also got the cauliflower and cheese dip appetizer and enjoyed them both. The service was also great and very friendly. They also validate parking.

I stopped in on a Thursday night for a date. It was our second date and so I made a reservation. The reservation was honored and the interior was full of muted lighting and dark wood. All of the servers and staff were very friendly. I was told that I had to get the burger. It says that it comes with fries and after some debate I was able to get the fries swapped for Brussels sprouts which was good. The burger itself was very juicy. They clearly used steak to make the burger. Is it the best burger in Atlanta? Maybe not. But is it a phenomenal choice for a reasonable price on their menu. You bet it is. They do validate parking in colony square.

Are you ready for the 411? Here we go...I am in Atlanta for a conference and visited this restaurant while on my work trip. Loved the location of this restaurant was in the midst of other restaurants but placed in the right spot. It allowed for a nice feel for a quick bite with friends to a romantic dinner with your boo. The service was great and the food was equally great. The salmon was cooked, seasoned and serviced perfectly! Try it out and tell me your thoughts!

This was my second time visiting this location, really enjoy it but my chicken was a bit over seasoned & salty. Besides that the banana dessert was incredible. This time we sat outside since the weather was nice. Definitely a must come back during the fall/winter for more desserts!

Fantastic outdoor setting in a centralized location perfect for a Sunday midday brunch with family and friends. They provided both fans and heaters to set the weather straight. The service was very attractive checking in on us but not overwhelming. He made sure we had everything we need and allowed us to add seating when more people joined us. We ordered a wide verity of food to share which allowed us to try multiple dishes. It was recommended to try the Dutch boy as a group since it is large and would be too much for one person. It was by fam my favorite dish, rich but airy full of flavors bursting in my mouth. The salad was a hit as well. The dressing was light and refreshing. We enjoyed putting together the bagel selections and avocado toast was extremely full of refreshing flavors. The gratin potatoes with the short rib was a bit plain and needed a bit of seasoning added. Over all everything paired nicely for what we were hoping for.
