I chose this restaurant as my birthday dinner and I absolutely loved it! Beginning from the lovely exterior/ interior, to the delicious food, to the amazing drinks! I was able to bring in my cake which was able to chill in the fridge while we had dinner! Riana gave very good recommendations and convinced me to try the pork chop that was very tasty and well presented. Each of my friends also got different dishes which were all lovely, and we all got strawberry margaritas! Riana's service was excellent since she was very attentive of our table, I would totally go back and look for her again! I loved my experience here, I would totally recommend it to anyone! read more

We picked Saint & Second for Sunday brunch, and from the moment we walked in, it felt like the perfect spot for a long catch-up. The restaurant is beautiful. It has a polished, modern feel with high ceilings, exposed beams, warm wood, and a gorgeous bar that immediately catches your eye. There's a lot to look at, but the space still feels comfortable rather than overly formal. I also loved the natural light coming in through the large windows. Our server was great. He was friendly, attentive, and gave us recommendations without making us feel rushed. We were there celebrating, and the service made the afternoon feel even more special. I ordered the Biscuits & Gravy, and I would absolutely get it again. The biscuit was generous and covered in a rich, flavorful gravy with a fried egg on top. What surprised me most was how much I liked the apple & celery slaw on the side. It added a fresh, crisp contrast to such a hearty dish and kept everything from feeling too heavy. We also received a complimentary dessert for our celebration, which was such a thoughtful touch. It arrived with a candle, fresh strawberries, and a house-made strawberry sauce. The sauce had a great consistency, tasted fresh, and wasn't overly sweet, which made the dessert feel nicely balanced. By the end of brunch, my friend and I were already talking about coming back for dinner. I'd say that's a pretty good sign. read more

Come here for the happy hour with great food and drink specials both! Saint & Second is the restaurant located on the 1st floor of the building where 24 Hour Fitness is located. Parking can be found in the Topanga Village garage and is free for the first 1.5 hours. My friend and I came Friday afternoon around 4 pm for their happy hour. Normally happy hour is on their patio, but they seated us in their regular dining area, not sure why. They have both indoor and outdoor dining. It was a nice day out, so we requested outdoor. Unfortunately that meant I was bitten by mosquitos a couple times. All cocktails on the happy hour menu are between $10-11. I got the Boston Sour and my friend got the Social Mule. We both liked our drinks. For food, we shared the following from the happy hour menu: Green goddess hummus ($8 hh) - pretty good, but I wish there was more pita to go with the hummus! Crispy chicken sliders ($11 hh) - ginormous chicken sliders! Would highly recommend! Meatball sliders ($11) - good but on the smaller side, especially when placed side by side with the chicken sliders lol Blackened salmon tacos ($11 hh) - also good, though I found the salmon a bit bland Presentation for the drinks and all the dishes was beautifully done. Everything is plated nicely even for happy hour dishes. read more

I came here on a weekday with one of my girlfriends. For drinks we both had the Rainbow Sherbet. ($18 - Hangar 1 Mandarin Blossom Vodka, cold-pressed pineapple juice, fresh raspberry purée, lime juice fresh mint topper). I'm not a big drinker and am a fan of drinks that you can't really taste the alcohol and this was great. It was a fun to drink and was refreshing. For our entree my friend had the Fish & Chips. ($27 - Crispy haddock fillet, sea salt fries, tartar sauce, grilled lemon). I tried a piece of her fish and it was thinly battered, soft, and flavorful. I usually try to stay away from fried fish like this just because places use way too much better or the fish gets super oily but they was not the case with their fish & chips. You can tell they use quality ingredients. I had the 4 piece Spicy Tuna on Crispy Rice. ($34 - Fresh ahi, dynamite sauce, wasabi tobiko, togarashi, toasted sesame). Oh my goodness was this delicious. This is usually something you'd eat as an appetizer but eating it alone is a meal in itself. Yes, it's pricey BUT it is totally worth it. Saint & Second is an upscale dining experience. Their food delivers to that level as well. I highly recommend if you're looking for a new date night spot or something intimate with friends. You can really taste the freshness of all the ingredients they use. read more

Absolutely delicious. We went in for brunch on a Sunday and it was beautiful morning to sit outside. We ordered our drinks, a cappuccino and a Not-a-colada. Both were fabulous, but the not a colada took the cake with its flavorful combination of pineapple, coconut and root beer; you must try it. I had to try the avocado toast and my date had the huevos rancheros. My avocado toast was so hefty I loved it, but more so I loved the potatoes on the side perfectly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, oh so well seasoned. I appreciate that we weren't rushed to the check as a matter of fact we stayed to chat longer than expected and that might have been because it wasn't that busy at 10am but no I appreciated the servers taking their time to bring the bill. read more

Before catching a matinee, we chose Saint & Second for the weekend brunch menu. What a pleasant surprise. Really enjoyed the relaxed upscale vibe and the inspired yet traditional menu.

Review is solely based on Happy Hour (HH) aka Social Hour only from 3pm-6pm weekdays only. Why Saint & Second? Solid happy hour line-up paired with awesome serve and delicious food. Food 4/5 - Meatball sliders - well seasoned - Smashburger w/fries - too much onions but fries were solid - Crispy chicken sliders - Blackened salmon tacos - Tomatillo salsa is delish Total spent: $53.00 What I Didn't Like? - White napkins shedded like crazy all over me - Parker house rolls were horrible, very doughy and a weird consistency Parking 4/5 Free parking for 1 hour and $2 for the next hour. Service & Ambience 4/5 Great service from the manager and all staff members rotating to ensure everything is going well. Beautiful ambience inside and outside especially since it's right on the corner near 24 hour fitness and Total Wine. read more

This spot has become by go-to for a birthday or celebration! Absolutely love the atmosphere, the vibes, and especially the food. The mezze plate is one of my fave apps - order it every time.

Saint & Second - Mezze plate - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Woodland Hills, California

Honestly I feel like this place is underrated. I came here with my friends and their 1 year old. It's in the village across from Dan Noodles, near 24 Hour fitness. It is a huge restaurant and I was surprised that it wasn't more packed on a Saturday night. The prices aren't horribly outrageous, and everything we ate was great and tasted fresh. My only critique is that they should have soda fountains instead of bottled soda. read more

I recently visited S&S for Brunch. The Bottom Line 5 stars: A solid option for high quality food and drinks and conversation, be it for brunch, lunch or dinner, in a trendy upscale environment. Very highly recommended! Service 5 stars: Very professional, efficient, attentive -and- friendly. Our server Rachel was wonderful in providing a personalized and highly satisfying level of service to me and my family. This is very highly appreciated. Thank you Rachel! Drinks 4.5 stars: Full bar with a vast array of premium spirits and creative signature cocktails. Large selection of craft beer and wine also. We started our brunch with a "bubbly" toast. We usually go for Prosecco but they do not have any??? Their Llopart Brut Reserva Spanish sparkling wine was quite good though. We also had some coffee beverages (Cappuccino and the Campfire Coffee). Both were very good. Food 5 stars: We had the Old Fashioned Pancakes and a side of Duroc Sausage to share, and also ordered the Shakshuka (delicious but spicy), the Classic Eggs Benedict and the House Smoked Tri Tip Hash. All excellent and highly recommended! read more

I know I'm a little late to the game, but I finally made it to Saint & Second, having booked a business brunch for Saturday morning. First off, I have to give them major props for how they've remodeled and reinvigorated the interior since taking over from Lucille's BBQ. The decor is upscale yet comfortable, with dark browns and warm lighting making you feel like you're in a place where good things are going to happen. The hosting staff was friendly and accommodating, greeting me the moment I entered and seating us quickly once all of us had arrived. Our server was also very friendly, and arranged for one of my tablemates to have a salad she'd spied online that normally isn't available during brunch service; while that seems like a simple thing, it's the type of request that's often rejected out of hand, so kudos to the team for making that happen. That salad, the Spring Tomato & Burrata, was a visually arresting presentation of the titular cheese and tomatoes accompanied by basil ricotta, pistachio dust, white balsamic vinaigrette, watercress, watermelon radish, and balsamic gastrique. I did not sample the dish (I didn't know them well enough to ask for a bite), but she and her colleague really enjoyed it. For my own part, I ordered the Classic Eggs Benedict, which isn't 100% "classic,' as the eggs and ham are layered atop biscuits instead of an English Muffin -- and that's a departure I can fully support. Those biscuits were flaky and savory, with a well-balanced denseness: tough enough to hold up the ham & eggs + Hollandaise sauce, though also flaky and flavorful enough in their own right to appeal on a biscuit level. Eggs were properly poached, ham was tasty without being too salty, and the Hollandaise was rich without going over the top. The fingerling potatoes served on the side were nicely salted, soft on the inside, and the perfect medium for dipping into any erstwhile Hollandise on the plate. My salad-eating tablemate also ordered the same Eggs Benedict, and enjoyed it as well. Her colleague ordered the Old-Fashioned Pancakes, served with berries and fresh whipped cream. It was a generous and lovely-looking plate that clearly made her very happy, along with the lattes and cappuccinos they sipped on the side. All-in-all this was a nice, relaxed brunch with good food and friendly service. The only thing keeping me from giving the restaurant 5 stars is their prices. While our Eggs Benedict and Pancakes fell neatly into the price range one would expect at a nice brunch spot, other items on the menu came with some seriously hefty price tags: a $26 burger (more than the bone marrow burger at the adjacent Eureka), a $27 shrimp cocktail (more than at nearby Ruth's Chris), and $29 for spicy tuna on crispy rice (fully twice the price of what you pay at Katsu-Ya, literally right next door). I understand the difficulty of keeping such a large, nicely appointed venue afloat in today's economy, but I'm not sure I would return to pay those prices without being first told by someone that the iterations of these dishes at Saint & Second are truly worthy. Though I really did love those Eggs Benedict. read more

I got the fish and chips and my white got thr asian salad. We shared the tuna on crispy rice. The portions are pretty big, but the food is just average. Nothing really stood out nor do I think I would be back. The service was good and the restaurant is quite large, so seating shouldn't be an issue, it was pretty empty when we went on sunday for a late lunch. read more

This area got reboot about a year ago and we hadn't visited. Yesterday was the day we stopped in for their Social Hour (3-6pm) to celebrate my bfs birthday. It was pretty empty, but super clean and put together. We were able to pick our own seats and Lennin was our server. He was very attentive, polite, and personable. We exchanged some small talk and he was on top of checking in on us whenever he could. Great first impression! We both went ahead with the smash burger ($12) and side of fries ($3), along with a couple social hour drinks: mule ($10.5) and a cold tall beer ($6-7). The burger has the softest bun. The cheese melted so perfectly on the smashed patty, draped in the most perfect grilled onions and delicious secret sauce. A couple of pickles inside as well. Every bite was delectable and enjoyable! The side portion of fries were of value and crispy. Everything tasted so fresh and of quality. My bf inhaled it lol. The mule was refreshing and not watered down, even though it took me a while to finish because I was watching my pace. It was a hazy day outside, but the patio furniture is comfortable and the ambiance was perfect. I can't wait to return and see how it looks at night! Our server also helped make our experience worth it. Can't wait to come back for date night or a weekend brunch read more

SPOT ON! I don't know how else to describe my visit to Saint & Second yesterday for a laidback and relaxing dinner and drinks at the bar. The bartender, Geoffrey, was paramount in turning a dinner into an experience. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the other two bartenders also, but I failed to get their names. However, all 3 behind the bar were stunningly knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Taking the time to check on the patrons appropriately, help each other out in a pinch and work incredibly well together at a relatively small bar. I started my meal with the Caesar Salad which had a twist with a lemon olive oil that pairs perfectly and adds a unique flavor to the salad. After the Caesar I moved on, based on staff recommendations, to the Salmon for my main dish. I normally won't eat Salmon at most restaurants unless it's truly on the coast. However, after being told that the Chef sources their Salmon from Skuna Bay Salmon, a reputable and sustainable Salmon farm that raises their salmon in a natural environment, I was sold. And I was very happy for it. I'm not sure I've had a better salmon dish at a restaurant! Saint & Second's other surprise was the wine offerings that were wines by the glass that are normally offered only by the bottle. As a "wine guy" I was very impressed that I could get a single glass of Châteauneuf-du-Pape that was the perfect pairing with the Salmon dish. I followed up the meal with the Chef's take on a Peach Cobbler, which was formed in a closed-crusted "turnover" style serving. It was amazing and the perfect complement to a last sip of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. If you're in the LA (Topanga) area and want a great meal, paired with phenomenal service, I highly recommend Saint & Second! It's Second to none read more

Located at the Village, we made a reservation on Open Table at the last minute. Although we arrived a couple minutes before and it seemed like there were several empty tables, we had a bit of a wait both to get our table and then after we were seated to even get greeted by our server to put in our drink order. Luckily the service did improve. We ordered the pork belly for starters, then the lasagna and fish and chips. read more

Came to try their Valentines Day special (on Sunday the day after) at 6pm and had to wait a little bit to get seated and served, but they definitely made up for it after. The decor was also a little dark, so the server brought us a little lantern, which helped a lot. The meal came with 2 glasses of champagne and 2 appetizers. After that, it was quite a long wait for our entree (beef wellington), so the server helped out with some rolls in the meantime. The meal was great, and whoever thought up chive potato puree was a genius. The desserts (coconut pannacotta and a chocolate lava cake) were also quite delicious. I had worried about it being not enough food, but it was more than enough. Shout out to Joseph for making our dinner experience a pleasant one! read more

Beautiful and romantic. Love the look, the ambiance. Someone there named Claire made me a Birthday card for the table. That was very sweet! The appetizers we ordered were very delicious - Parker Rolls and Meatballs. Would order these two again. The lasagna has a lot of mushrooms and is an acquired taste. It had great presentation. To all the meatlovers out there -the burger had a super thick patty. The roasted chicken had this amazing black garlic sauce. Our waitress was so incredibly passionate about the food, the restaurant and the chef! I loved her energy, she was great at what she does. She made us feel comfortable eating there.

We have visited Saint & Second in Long Beach a while ago. Glad we decided to try this location at Westfield topanga. Place is very beautiful and spacious. We got seated at a very cozy and semi private booth. It was an odd hour so we had 3 different servers for our meal. And they were all very friendly. For food we had Korean pork belly, mezze plate, spicy tuna crispy rice as apps. Branzino and steak & frites as entrees. Also a s' more like dessert. The food was delicious but a bit bland especially fish. For drinks we had vesper martinis, seasonal whisky cocktails, tawny port and espresso shots. Our early dinner was pleasant with a lot of food and drinks. We liked the experience and will visit again whenever we are in this area! read more

Ok here goes.... Beautiful work inside almost doesn't look like it was Lucille's before.... Very fancy and well executed. Perfect date night, so my friend as in town and she chose the dinner restaurant, this was on my book marks anyway so I was really excited to get out on the town for a little adult night. We had an array of things like the mezze plate which was probably the best thing on the menu and I truly enjoyed this appetizer! The roasted garlic flatbread was nice and decadent on its own packed a crunch as well and the three dipping sauces were very unique and I loved them all! Came with baba ghanoush, muhammara with pomegranate seeds and labneh with honey! All were great so different from each other. Parker house rolls were ok. No big whoop for me, if you didn't eat the fast enough, they hardened. Then from the bar i was recommended the rainbow drink so I went ahead with that one i think the name was rainbow sherbet but that too was very sweet, didn't care too much for it but I gave it a go anyway. For the mains, we opted for a wedge with grilled flat iron and the prime steak and frittes. I wish someone would have told me that my dinner did not look like the pictures features on Yelp! Instead I got a Salisbury salted steak with super salted fries! Maybe it was an off day? I don't know but it didn't leave me coming back for more! I think the shishito peppers were nice to balance the salt but I needed more than two peppers for that! Friend said wedge was good, I didn't try it...All in all service was great, food was super salty and I don't think I'll be coming back soon! read more

I hate leaving this place such a low rating but we just did not have a good experience. We came on our anniversary and was really hopeful because of the reviews. The food was SO bland. I've had better fries from McDonald's. I know their whole theme is to have farm to table food but it was so bland it was almost inedible. I felt like I was just chewing a piece of meat forever with the steak. The only thing we for that was good was the oysters and that involves no cooking. The service was also very slow. Definitely won't be coming back to this place. read more

Saint & Second - Salad with a side of steak - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Woodland Hills, California

Came here for the first time. Was encouraged by the reviews and excited for a menu item, bone marrow appetizer. Sadly they served one w literally a half a thimble of marrow (likely seasoning) and had the nerve to stand firm in their position about it. Ultimately ruined the entire vibe and we didn't feel confident the mains would be different so- we paid and left. Manager needs some brushing up on interpersonal skills!! read more

Came to Saint & Second to celebrate a friend's birthday and had a lovely experience. The interior is modern and aesthetically pleasing, making it a great spot for brunch or a casual celebration. We ordered the shakshouka and the smoked tri tip hash and appreciated that they kindly split both dishes in half for us. The shakshouka was a nice twist on the classic with added veggies and chickpeas. The tri tip hash was decent. Some pieces of meat were a bit tough, but the eggs were perfectly cooked and the potatoes were crispy and flavorful. We were also surprised with a complimentary marshmallow brownie dessert for the birthday, which was sweet but a thoughtful touch. Overall, the ambiance really stands out, and I would be interested in returning to try more items on the menu. read more

If you haven't had a chance to try their food yet, you really should! They've finally nailed their menu, and everything is spot on. The wedge salad was a bit different from my last visit, but I always order it because I'm a big fan of blue cheese. Last time, they chopped the wedge into small pieces, and it was fantastic. This time, they served half a wedge, and it was absolutely delicious--the blue cheese wasn't overpowering, it was just right, and it was fresh and tasty. The fried chicken burger was absolutely amazing & the Parker rolls are also a must-try. The service was great and very attentive. Bloody Mary was straightforward and perfectly balanced. Plus, their drinks are great with beautifully clear ice. Quiet and relaxing atmosphere, not too loud like Joey's next door. read more

Back at Saint & Second--and it did NOT disappoint! They spotlight local + organic ingredients whenever possible, sourced from artisanal purveyors--and it really shines through in the flavors. This time we tried: Yuzu Mule Ricotta Meatballs - beef, pork, Bellwether Farms ricotta, San Marzano tomatoes, grilled bread Spanish Fried Calamari - served with a smoky chorizo aioli Asian Chopped Salad - mixed lettuces, peanuts, green beans, cucumber, fresh orange, sweet peppers, edamame, ginger-soy vinaigrette, crispy noodles And of course, had to get again: Smoked & Glazed Pork Chop - grilled Asian pears, 'nduja, Brussels sprouts, aged cheddar grits, candied pecans, avocado honey A thoughtful detail: they plated the salad + pork chop beautifully on two separate plates since they knew we were sharing. Such a nice touch! Every dish? 10/10. Insanely delicious. Definite must-trys. We'll definitely be back! Love gave the most wonderful customer service!! The ambiance is lovely! The decor is stunning!! Outdoor patio is airy and charming. Sometimes there's live music. read more

Came here for Happy Hour, which they call Social Hour. We walked in and the host greeted us - we asked them where we can sit for HH. (Mind you it was like 520 pm and HH ends at 6 pm). So we get seated outside and we take a look at the menu anddd they didn't bring us the HH menu. It did take a while for someone else to come check on us and we asked him to bring us waters and the HH menu. The menu was SUPER small. I got the blackened salmon tacos and shared the Moscow mule. The drink wasn't anything special but the salmon tacos were pretty amazing. The regular menu itself is also kind of small compared to other places. But, the place was clean, and well organized. I don't think I'd be coming back honestly, to me it wasn't anything special. read more
