    Garden of Eden cocktail, light and springy
    Kimberly C.

    Everything was delicious. Our server Connor did an outstanding job explaining the menu and making us feel welcome. We tried a variety of different dishes on the menu and we were not disappointed. I highly recommend you visit if you're looking for an elevated brunch experience. Bonus is the live violinist who was phenomenal. It's a lively spot, so prepare to enjoy yourself.

    Had a great experience at Saints + Council! The food was flavorful, the vibes were welcoming, and the service was excellent from start to finish. If you're planning a visit, I definitely recommend trying the short ribs, burger, and crab dip -- all solid choices that really stood out. Great spot for a nice lunch or dinner in Atlanta!

    I don't want to gate keep but this place has amazing food, great ambience and wonderful service. I've been twice, once for brunch and once for dinner. Reservations are recommended but we didn't have any for brunch but lucked out with some seats at the bar. Food and cocktail was great so I decided to return with some friends from out of town for dinner. I wish I remembered the happy Latino server's name but he made some great recommendations and sang to us lol he was special. We tried the fried green tomatoes, bone broth, and I had the redfish - which was subbed for another fish that night. Everyone's dish came out great and we loved every bite. They surprised us at the end with postcards with different images to personalize and mail to someone of our choice. They pay for postage and everything. Overall a great restaurant for locals and out of towners alike.

    Had a great dinner here last week with a large group. We sat on the outside patio and had a nice, long dinner here. We pretty much ordered everything in the menu. I personally loved the fried green tomatoes and the braised short ribs. The s'mores dessert was amazing as well. I believe our server's name was Helen or Holly (sorry!); she was lovely--easy to talk to and funny.

    I would recommend booking a reservation on Open Table for brunch as it was pretty busy! Service was great and the server answered our questions. The hot chocolate is delicious but a little steep at $9 a cup. The classic Dutch baby was really good a the perfect size to split! I was kind of full from the Dutch baby so went simple with my main course. I ordered a side of Gouda eggs and a homemade biscuit. Honestly all of the food was really good and came out quickly! They give out little postcards at the end of the meal which is a cute way to finish the meal. They validate parking in the underground garage for up to 2 hours which is a super nice perk! Otherwise, it's $6 every 30 minutes fyi. Looks like valet is available too.

    This was my first time coming to Saints + Council, my aunt booked this due to all other places being full during brunch. It was absolutely packed when we went in, we checked in right at our reservation time and was sat with in minutes. We booked outdoor seating not aware of how the weather was going to be ( it was chilly ). We asked our waiter Brandon if we could move inside, he stated because it was busy we may not have a table but we can sit in the couch area next to the fire place so we agreed (it was better than a table in my opinion). Our server Brandon was very accommodating, friendly, and knowledgeable! We had never heard of the Dutch Baby food item so we decided to try it based off of his recommendation, and it was amazing! I had the Shrimp and Grits with collards and never experienced a better flavor, from the grits to the sauce that topped it, the flavor was insaneee! My party had the Short Rib Gratin and Short Rib and Eggs they LOVED it. We also had cocktails The Garden of Eden super earthy and light. Overall 10/10 experience! The violinist was a perfect touch to the ambiance and the food was like none other! Can't wait to come back and try the dinner menu!!

    You should book a reservation. We pulled up without one on a Sunday and decided to just sit at the bar. Our Bartender was super friendly and took our drink order immediately. The Brunch menu had some options but I would have preferred a few more non-meat options that weren't sweet dishes. The French toast is good though. Remember to get your parking validated. The special treat was the live music.

    We visited this location Friday we thought we'll start Mother's Days weekend off a little early this year so we arrive for dinner and ordered up a few items.

    Classic dutchbaby. The lemon curd was amazing!

    I returned to Saints and Council for brunch with some friends today. I had made a reservation on Open Table, so once we checked in with the hostess, we were quickly seated. A violinist played live music while we orders drinks with our friendly server. I knew I wanted the classic Dutchbaby because it was so good the last time I enjoyed saints and council and it was amazing again.

    Saints & Council is an upscale southern restaurant in Colony Square. The four of us were seated in a comfortably sized rounded booth where we could all easily reach the shared plates. Speaking of shared plates, we started with the stuffed oysters, fried green tomatoes, bruschetta, & crab dip. These are generous portions so we were all content to stop eating. They are, however, known for their slow-cooked dishes so we forced ourselves to order the pork chop & braised short ribs to share. We added side plates of green beans & collards with seasoned cornbread. We thought we were full but we left nothing but bones. It was perfect. The cocktails were made as requested and our server, Caroline, was an excellent guide. My sister will receive some of her favourite chocolates for this recommendation.

    Great experience at Saints & Council -- the food just didn't quite do it for me overall. We had a reservation and were seated quickly. Our server was awesome and very attentive, and I really loved the vibe of the restaurant. Writing the postcard at the end was also a really sweet touch.

    Papparadelle pasta

    We had an excellent dinner at Saints + Council for my friend's birthday. Iv'e been here twice: once for a birthday dinner and once for date night. Both times, the food, service, and atmosphere were impeccable. They serve brunch and lunch too. For starters, park in the underground garage. Make sure to bring your parking ticket with you as Saints + Council validates for two hours. Once they validate, you have 20 minutes to leave the garage or else you must pay the full fare ($30 !!!) I've experienced the interior bar as well as the spacious outdoor patio with both covered and uncovered seating. Several dining room doors can open, facing the patio and Colony Square, creating a cool, airy vibe. The bar features traditional barstool seating, as well as high tip tables that "jut out" from the bar, creating a casual yet intimate dining experience. We walked in on a Saturday night with no reservations, so this was out only option, but it ended up being a great seating option for our date night. At the birthday dinner, all 14 of us were seated banquet style among the lush greenery and twinkling lights of the patio. We only had one server, but he handled our party with dedication and professionalism. We enjoyed the following: Baked crab dip Stuffed oysters Caesar salad Roasted pappardelle pasta Duck Confit as well as Dante's Revenge and Garden of Eden cocktails The drinks were strong yet flavorful. As for the food, everything was delicious. There wasn't a single bad dish. Portions were generous and the pasta was creamy, hearty, and flavorful. The duck confit was crisped to perfection and the accompanying sauce was amazing. We were too stuffed for dessert, but the dessert menu was tempting... maybe next time. And trust me, there will be a next time!

    What a cool place. Discovered it incidentally while in downtown Atlanta. Upscale with a dress code…read morethankfully. The entrance code can be obtained from their website or local hotel concierges. Dial the number on the antique phone and the door magically opens. The staff super friendly and helpful. The bartenders are the best, clearly passionate about their work. I highly encourage you to try one or several of their signature cocktails. I sampled the Left Bank Martini and Vesper. As expected they are fully stocked with Pappy Bourbon, hard to find Amaro Noni. Ask a bartender about the ice block. The place is spacious unlike other speakeasys I've been to. Lots of niche areas with couch reservations, pool table available. No time for a cigar but that is on my list when I return. Food available from their upstairs sister restaurant.

I sat at the bar and had a little light banter with the bartender who is a brother looking to be in his late 30's-early 40's. When I asked about two fruity cocktails from the menu, he flat-out said he wasn't going to make them. That alone was off-putting. Trying to move forward, I asked what he specialized in, and he said he'd "come up with something." I agreed--but very clearly stated: no rum, because my body does not react well to it. After watching him make drinks for people who ordered after me, he eventually handed me a cocktail I never even saw him prepare. That already raised a flag. I took a few sips, and sure enough--my stomach immediately started reacting the exact way it does when I've had rum. When I asked what alcohol he used, he said, "I don't even know." That response alone tells you everything you need to know. At that point, I reminded him I specifically said no rum. Instead of taking accountability, he tried to argue and backtrack. Let me be clear--when a customer tells you not to use a specific liquor, you don't ignore it, guess, or "forget." That's basic service and basic respect. This situation completely threw off my evening, as I had plans afterward and ended up feeling sick. To make matters worse, I reached out to management and received no response. That lack of accountability speaks volumes. At the end of the day, this wasn't just a bad drink--it was careless service. This staff does not prioritize customer care, and that's a problem. If you choose to visit, be very direct, pay close attention, and don't assume your requests will be respected.

Rather than just finding out, he went ahead and made it and brought it out with the group's drinks. When I saw how good it looked, I decided to order one too. The presentation of the drink was very nice and it had a good creamy flavor to it. This drink was a nice way to wind down the evening. As someone from TX, I did think the drinks were a bit on the pricey side but it's not surprising with it being the ritz. I liked that the bar had a fun yet casual ambiance and there were plenty of people around. We did ask what time last call was and were told midnight so we didn't hurry to order a second drink. Unfortunately, when we ordered another at 10:40... we were told they had closed which was frustrating.

They hold a jazz night every Tuesday with live music for a nice chill, yet fun, vibe. Just a warning, the space inside is pretty small--typically there's optional seating outside, but it's really chilly at the moment (although they have heaters)--but there's more seating downstairs in The Victorian Atlanta plant shop. I didn't realize that the two were connected! FYI, if you sit downstairs, you'll be seated next to where the live music performers will be playing, so it will be louder there. As for the drinks, I tried the Zombie. I loved it so much, I ordered a second one instead of trying a different one! It tasted sweet and slightly tropical with the rum and spiced liqueur. It also had some absinthe, which I was worried about when I first ordered it since I hate the taste of it (not a big fan of black licorice flavors), but I didn't taste it at all! Overall, this place had such a great vibe to it!
