This is such a cute venue! I went to dinner with my friends and would definitely go back even for a date night. The food is good and drinks are great! Try to get the server Paola. She was phenomenal and very funny too! She gave amazing recommendations!! Hope to have her again the next time I return!
Shout out to BART...

Shout out to BART! Best bartender I have had in my 27 years of life! He made our trip to New York so unforgettable. He truly deserves the best ever! We will never forget you, Bart! You are a cool and wonderful human! Camilo, was so sweet and amazing too! Our experience was special - thanks to them! Our hearts are so full!
Just had a great night out...
by MARYANA ISKHAKOVA
Just had a great night out at Saint Restaurant in NYC. It's this cozy little place that feels like a nice break from the usual spots. The atmosphere is really warm and inviting - perfect for a relaxed dinner with friends or a low-key date night. What really stood out was the service. The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, not just putting on a show. Food was delicious, though I'll admit it's not cheap. Expect to spend around $50-100 per person. But for a nice night out in the city, I'd say it's worth it. It's the kind of place where you can actually hear each other talk and don't feel rushed. Definitely adding it to my list of go-to restaurants for when I want something a bit special without being over-the-top fancy. If you're looking for a new place to try in NYC, I'd definitely recommend giving Saint Restaurant a shot. It's a solid choice for good food in a really nice setting
