The team behind the Carbone restaurants that are now dazzling Dallas isn’t just about Italian. Their sparkling Sadelle’s in Highland Park Village is a New York deli — but hardly your typical one, which is why it stands out. Smoked salmon and sturgeon and deli sandwiches? Sure. But breakfast tacos, caviar, and Asian skirt steak, too.Sadelle’s is a modern ode to New York’s classic tradition of all-day dining. Since opening its first location in the heart of SoHo in 2016, the brand has reached iconic status thanks to its urbane, celebratory atmosphere and a menu of hits, including the best bagels in America. Among its many accolades, Sadelle’s was named an essential brunch destination by Harper’s BAZAAR and Cosmopolitan, and its sticky buns were ranked one of the Best Dishes of 2015 by The New York Times. Sadelle’s currently has outposts in New York, Las Vegas, Miami, Paris, Boca Raton, and Dallas. The restaurant is named after MFG Co-Founder Jeff Zalaznick’s great grandmother.

    First time dining there. It was a bit crowded and almost overcrowded, but that was to be expected given the day. Ambiance was sexy and the live music was a nice added bonus although by the time I was sat the live music was over. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the ambiance of the environment. The food was amazing and wish I had left room for dessert but, after the appetizers and drinks I was almost done before I started. The place was really nice but could tell the staff and guests both were a bit taken a back at how large the crowd was even later into the evening. My server Erin was amazing. Attentive, personable, and just a pleasure to have her as a server. Erin made sure I was well taken care of and that I had a memorable experience. I can tell she is passionate about her station and even told me she wanted me to come back when it was less busy to gain a better idea of what the service and experience overall is really like and I appreciated that. Erin was great and I truly appreciate her taking care of every need and question that came her way. I would definitely go back and highly recommend if you haven’t been to try it out.

    We had a lovely experience for Valentine's Day with a prix fixe menu. The bartender was exquisite as our martini was perfectly prepared; the lobster bisque delicious, and the Princess cake a perfect end to a wonderful meal. Diego was a terrific server. Well done!

    We celebrated our 12th anniversary and Valentine’s Day at Saint’s Italian restaurant. The dark, sultry ambience set the perfect mood for our special night. Upon arrival, we were surprised with complimentary champagne, which was a lovely touch. Our server was fantastic, attentive and knowledgeable, making our evening even more enjoyable. We tried the Texas wagyu ribeye, which had great flavor, though it was a little undercooked in some parts. The cheesecake was tasty as well, but the bottom was still frozen, making it a bit challenging to enjoy. Despite these minor issues, it was a wonderful dining experience overall.

    Really enjoyed everything and had a great experience. Busy restaurant, so can be hard to hear sometimes, but the food is amazing and the prices are reasonable. The service is excellent, a little chaotic at times, but we attended on a holiday. We will definitely be back!!!
