We had wonderful time at The Saint in Napa! Our group came for lunch and were seated in super private room that honestly felt like sitting inside a vault - secluded, dimly lit, and really cool. The whole vibe was so nice and felt special right from the start. The service was great throughout. I had the margherita flatbread pizza, which was incredibly fresh and flavorful (with golden tomatoes, yumm). I also got to try the caviar - even though I'm not usually a big caviar fan, this was unlike any I've tried before - served with chips (think ruffles) that rounded it out perfectly. They even surprised me with a pour of bubbly to celebrate my bachelorette party, which made the experience extra memorable. The Saint is also located in the cutest area in St. Helena, surrounded by charming shops, restaurants, and plenty to explore. All in all, it was good vibes all around, and I'd definitely recommend stopping by! read more

Normally we aren't in St Helena long enough to goof off but this last Napa outing we booked a hotel there because we didn't want to go home yet and everything else was booked closer to Napa. As a Hyatt member was able to use points instead of selling my Audi to pay for a one night stay. So the next morning, where to go? After a quick breakfast we ended up at The Saint for cocktails. At first we didn't think it was open since it was early and no one was in there. Upon entry it is clear this isn't a dive bar. A few high tops as you enter to the left and a nice long bar with and table against the right wall. This building takes you back to 1890 or so when it was originally a bank. I wonder how many times it was robbed at gun point and the bad boys rode off on horses with the cash??? Many of the light fixtures are original from the same time. It has a bank vault as every good bank should. But since this is a bar the vault is more a private area with seating. Since we just had a late breakfast we only had drinks. Not sure but I'm pretty sure Andrea had a Lemon Drop and I know for sure I had tequila and lime. While we were there a few high tops filled up with Chardonnay drinking ladies getting away from the family (kids and partners) for the day. And a couple of different couples being tourist. I know, I know technically we are tourist but we've spent so much time here over the years we don't feel like tourist and back in the day not long ago many people thought we lived there. Our bartender was great about explaining the details about the bank building and it's history along with a tour. Next time we are in St. Helena we will definitely be back. Actually may make a special trip from Napa just to go there. read more

What a great find in St. Helena! We discovered The Saint just passing by during our latest trip to the Napa Valley last month. It looked like a nice place, and we decided we would return the following day for a visit. We came in for some drinks and to enjoy the swanky interior. Dark, sexy vibes, very nicely done. It was on the emptier side when we visited, partly because it was earlier in the afternoon, and partly because people were elsewhere watching the final rounds of the World Cup, but that was fine with us, because we got out lovely bartender basically all to ourselves. Unfortunately, I can't remember his name, but he was terrific, friendly, engaging, and down-to-earth. He made us some great drinks (lemon drop for me, tequila & lime for my partner - we're such one trick ponies), and later showed us around the place. There is a lot of history in the building. It used to be a bank back in the day (and by 'back in the day' I mean the 1800's), and it still has the original vault. Beyond the vault door, there is a speakeasy-style dining room that would be absolutely perfect for a private event. We didn't try any food this time, they only had light bites on offer at that time of the day, but the dinner menu looks promising, and I look forward to having a full meal here upon our next visit. Downtown St. Helena is a bit out of the way of our usual stops in Napa, but I would make a special trip for this spot again. read more

What a great place! So different from the other places in Saint Helena. It seems like a speakeasy almost. As a previous bank, it has different sections for private parties, which is very cool. Love the dark cozy decor. Great staff, very pleasant. Particular shout out to staff that was working extremely hard on what must've been a short staff day. But did it all with a smile and best effort, despite being so busy. read more

I had high hopes for this place! I was trying to celebrate an anniversary and the service did not deliver. We left before we were even asked for food. Very disappointed. I tried to surprise my wife with a good experience and I unfortunately I failed. We ended up going for fast food instead. read more

The Saint is located on the Main street in St. Helena. We walked in, no reservations and were greeted sweetly. We sat down and ordered two flights, one of 'Lucious reds' and the other of 'bubbles'. The server was a one woman show, however, some locals seem to come in after us, and they were served their order before ours. I was disappointed because I was hoping to order more from the flight tasting but we got off to such a slow and un-prioritized start, unfortunately that wish fizzled with the last. We order nuts along with the flights. They were an assortment of cashew, almond, pistachio, macadamia & pecan. They were salted and paired well. This day, is not fair to judge the ambiance given the last minute New Year's Eve decor... so I will assume that normally this is a great romantic place with lots of partitioned seating. I had no food. Hoping to try one day. read more

I always recommend the Saint to anyone visiting this area of Napa Valley. The intimate space you see today was the Bank of Saint Helena in the 1890s. Love the thick brick walls, cozy couches, warm lighting, and the various spaces to lounge, including the vault. It's the perfect spot for a date and/or to celebrate a special occasion or birthday - craft cocktails, an extensive wine list and amazing food options. Servers always offer excellent recommendations as well. read more

I loved this location and the setting is excellent. We were there on a Saturday night and so they had lice music as well. Our Service was excellent as was the food and the drinks. I had the gnocchi and I believe I would say it is the best I have ever had. So light. We had the crab cake (yummy), the burrata plate (yum), a mixed salad with filet, fries, and a spectacular crème brûlée. We had a none alcohol sparking (excellent), a Manhattan, and a while flight with pours that we very large. All the food comes from The Market and affiliated business next door. Fabulous, please try. read more

I love the atmosphere and service. I always go when I am in town. Drinks and coffee yummy.

We were looking for a wine bar. We went to OSC but they were hosting a private event so no go . So we ended up here at The Saint, just a few doors down. What a great spot! It's beautiful inside, so chic and cool. Stephanie was so welcoming and the perfect hostess for the 4 of us. It was 3pm on a Thursday and the town was pretty quiet. There was only 1 table occupied here so we considered ourselves lucky to have tables to choose from. We ordered a bottle of Night cab franc. Stephanie helped us to choose this - I think she recommended it. It was perfect - exactly what we were looking for! It was such great experience. Stephanie really made this a 5 star visit. We can't wait to go back! read more

The Saint brings a fresh, modern energy to downtown St. Helena with its stylish décor, creative cocktails, and flavorful New American cuisine. The lively atmosphere makes it an excellent place to gather with friends or enjoy an evening out. Guests appreciate the welcoming service and thoughtfully prepared menu, which offers something for every palate. Whether you're stopping in for happy hour or dinner, The Saint delivers a fun and enjoyable experience. read more

The Saint is a great spot to unwind after a long day in wine country. The atmosphere is relaxed yet refined--perfect for enjoying a glass of wine and good conversation. Nanda (sp?) was friendly, engaging, and made the experience feel personal and welcoming. It's always nice when someone behind the bar takes the time to chat and share a bit about the local scene. I was told they're planning some upgrades to the space, which sound really exciting. I'm looking forward to seeing what's next for this charming spot in downtown St. Helena. read more

The Saint is fairly small but cute. They have candles in the bathroom that they do sell in restaurant as well (I thought it was a unique touch). After sun down they had live music which was absolutely lovely. Our server and host were very kind and attentive as well. Unfortunately, I don't think the food was worth it. The chicken was very dry and I could not eat it. The veggies were good but nothing special. They accidentally brought over a peach salad instead of the chicken dish first, so they let us keep it. The peach salad was also underwhelming. My friend seemed to enjoy her chopped salad though. While the food wasn't great, we did have a good time here as the ambiance and service made up for it! read more

We walked into our reservations for lunch. It wasn't busy at all, just a couple at the bar. We ordered a champagne flight of 3 glasses which was a great choice to try a few. To order food, your server takes your order and places it from the restaurant next door. I ordered the burger and friend and it was all good! Overall, I would recommend to check out. read more

We got to enjoy dinner at a private table inside an 1890s bank vault. That alone was pretty cool! They had some live music that started around 7pm as well. The place isn't very big though so the musicians were about standing in the entrance. This place doesn't have their own kitchen they share a kitchen with the restaurant called Market next door so all the food comes from them. Not really a downside, the food was all still really warm and enjoyable. We started with the crab cake, it was great and actually all crab and not crab + fillers. The corn and asparagus relish it sits on was delightful. I got the filet and it was so yummy! Can't go wrong with this dish. Cooked well and had great flavor. The scallop potatoes were delicious! Very cheesy flavor:) My hubs got the salmon. The salmon was awesome! The salmon skin was crispy and that gave it so much wonderful texture! But that pomegranate sauce that came with it was visually off putting. It was bubble gum pink! Looks like salmon in pepto bismol guys.. besides that the dish still tasted great. read more

Okay, warning... hidden gem alert!!! This place for the win. So, I found this spot on instagram of all places through another page I follow in the St Helena area- and can I say, we love what you guys are doing and offering, keep it up! Living in Napa split time, we sometimes venture up to St Helena and beyond lol. With that said, everyone knows, EVERYTHING, shuts down early and it becomes a sleepy little town at night. Well, this place is a game changer, as far as that's concerned. I've had my sights set on visiting for a few months. I finally had the opportunity to pop in. I was not disappointed. Think old brick building, with a the nostalgic stamped tin roof, chandeliers, and even an old bank vault that you can dine in- plush black couches, dim lighting, intimate, yet a total vibe, and live music. To further compliment this stellar ambience, wine, craft-cocktails, even a dinner menu, annnnd dessert! The night I visited, it was a quieter night, which was fine. We popped in for dessert and some dessert wine. We were sat promptly, the staff was wonderful and welcoming. They told us all about the great live music for the evening. We also met the owner. She was a wonderful gal, extremely personable, and she even helped us, herself. We were tasting dessert wines, to which I was searching for my calling that evening lol. Lo and behold, she pulled a secret squirrel stash French dessert wine out of her vault that was off menu, which I ordered- of course lol. We also ordered two of their most decadent chocolate desserts because it was just that kind of night and they were great. We really appreciated the attentiveness and the friendliness of the staff and owner. Also, from what I've seen on their Instagram page, this place gets a bit live and quite the crowd. We just happened to pop in on a quieter evening. They also have an exclusive social club that we learned about, which gathers monthly. This is a must visit hidden gem in St Helena. You will not be disappointed, especially if you're looking for a night life, but without the sloppy bar experience (downtown Napa after 9pm) lol. This place is trendy and upscale and gives you the nightlife vibe and so much more. So thank you, The Saint for waking up little St Helena! read more

I wanted to love this place but I can't. They have a cool fun vibe, nice interior, friendly waitresses but that's about it, for me. We had the cheese and charcuterie board, which is about the only three food items they currently serve because they don't have a kitchen anymore. I do not recommend it. Everything is overly salty. I would rather buy my own from a grocery store. We also tried the wine flight and the dessert wine flight (each has 3 options). I just can't. Sorry. Being located in Napa, they should have better options. I was very disappointed. Service was great at the beginning but as it gets to around 5, this place got loud and busy. We had a very hard time flagging our waitress to get a check. I definitely see some locals who enjoys this place, but I just can't. Maybe this place had better days, maybe I came at a wrong time, but I personally don't ever want to come again. read more

We went to the Saint for wine tasting and appetizers. We were warmly greeted by Ricky, who offered us wine tasting options and appetizers. We selected the white and the Night flights, and the cheese board. It was excellent. Ricky also gave us recommendations for restaurants and things to do on St Helena and Napa. He also gave us the history of this venue, which is an old bank with a vault and stone walls. We highly recommend coming here and will do so again upon our return. read more

Gratuity is automatically added here, which is the only way we ever would have left it. We had to interrupt the bartenders texting sesh multiple times to order the one beverage and cheese board we wanted. We ordered two espressos and she paused to send multiple texts, and greet a personal friend then walked her to the back to hangout before even starting them. We then snacked on a grocery store quality cheese board while we listened to her and another employee completely disparage the owner and other staff members. Lovely girl! read more

Nice ambiance. Waitstaff slow and inattentive. Fruit flies flying everywhere including in my wine. Wine was mediocre. Biggest complaint is that waitstaff overcharged for our bill and there is an automatic 20% service charge (regardless of party size). We purchased one flight and one glass of wine and should have been charged about $75. They rang our card for $171. Not sure if someone is skimming or what's going on, but we certainly were not charged what was appropriate. Payment Issue was resolved, but experience was not worth final charge of around $100. Additionally, they apply a 20% service charge regardless of party size and then ask you to tip on top of that. No thanks. There are better places you can go in Napa. read more

NIce place to have a glass of wine and chat. Good selection of local wines. Heidi certainly knows her business. Staff is friendly and also knowlegable. The inside decor is something I am used to after living in NY for 27 years, it is geared to those, who walked half a day and now wants to sit, relax and finish their St. Helena experience with a glass of wine. Life music gives a nice touch. Pricy, it is certainly $$$ but then again, it is St. Helena :) All-n-all it is a good place to relax. read more

Excellent food, service and ambiance. The views are fabulous!! With many choices in Palm Springs, this is in our top 10.

Limited options for lunch. Pretty much everything on the menu seemed more suited for dinner. It wasn't very crowded but the service was quite slow and some things never came. We didn't get a refill on our water until after we paid the bill for example. The veggie burger was very good actually, but the fries were mediocre at best. Maybe try it out for the wine and music on a Saturday night. read more

Any time we're in St. Helena, we've always stopped in. They've got a great by-the-glass selection and it's cool spot to unwind after a long day of walking around town. On our most recent trip (October 2021), we had a very poor experience, but didn't even realize it until we got home. Let me explain. On all of our previous trips, the check did not automatically include a gratuity, so we were accustomed to leaving it after the credit card authorization. On our most recent trip, they changed their system and they brought over a card reader to our table. Once I swiped, I was presented with gratuity options, but they were quite strange: 3%, 5%, 10%, or something like that. I made a comment to our server about it, that the default tip % seems really low. I added a custom amount and left 25% like I normally do. Once we got home, I had an itemized copy of the receipt from Square (see attached photo) where I noticed they added a 20% service charge already. I hadn't noticed in the menus that they were automatically adding the service charge and certainly when I asked about the low %'s the server had an opportunity to explain this, but chose not to. So the end result is that on a $65 tab, we ended up giving over $45 in tip/service. We obviously had not looked at the menu or the receipt too carefully, which is our own fault, but I was so surprised after the fact that the server didn't mention anything even as I mentioned the very low default tip %'s, which now make sense because they added 20% by default. It's less about the money and more about what we felt was the dishonest practice. It left a bad taste in our mouth and we likely won't be back. If you decide to stop by, please review your receipt carefully so you don't end up double tipping like we did. read more
