    I'm hesitant to write a great review. This little hidden gem with outstanding food and service is not so hidden anymore. This has easily become our number 1 spot to dine out in the local area. The food is fantastic, the service is impeccable, and you can tell the management and ownership care about the business. The result is an awesome experience. My wife loves the GF options and our difficult 11 year old has not left disappointed yet!

    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!!!
