    Visited for dinner! Mac and cheese was lovely, very creamy and tasty with the French fries! I always love the soup at the Saint too and went for Lentil. Can’t wait to return, it’s always a treat! Staff are very helpful, friendly and attentive too!

    First visit and will definitely return. Food excellent - good portions well presented and delicious. Service was spot on - attentive but discreet. The jug of water was a pleasant surprise - brought when seated without having to ask - something you get abroad but usually has to be requested in the UK. Will definitely recommend.

    So, ate last night ,table booked 2015, arrived on time, immediately seated. Server Finlay, was attentive, as was a possible manager. We ordered 2 main courses, the Hake and one Pork. 35 minutes later we queried where our meals were, Finland was most apologetic, and arrived back a few minutes later stating the food was just being ' plated up'. Food was fine, however Finlay has a very distinctive voice, and whilst eating i noticed on at least 3 occasions he was having to apologise to other tables for their wait times for food. Sadly no manager preferred an apology, or adjusted the bill in any wayfor the poor kitchen service. All in all it's not an experience or a venue we will repeat.

    Everything was great - lovely food, great service and location is brilliant. Only thing that was frustrating was a very loud party in the corner, I was really surprised the staff didn't say anything, it looked like they were a bit of a nightmare for people sitting really close to them. Recommend the buffalo chicken burger, was great!

    Hi Claire Thankyou for reviewing your visit and for the the 5 star rating. Please accept our apologies for the noise from the other party, we would always intervene if we felt other guests were causing an excessive amount of noise. Kindest Regards Steven

    Another positive experience at The Saint where quality of food once again very good. The restaurant was very busy which contributed to a delay in serving main course. Otherwise all good
