I came here to meet up with my coworker while in Atlanta for a convention, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of my trip. It's true what they say: you have to ask the locals if you want to find a truly scrumptious meal! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was absolutely stunning. The restaurant is elegant, refined, and beautifully designed, creating the perfect setting for a memorable evening. Our server, LeNarus, provided impeccable service throughout the meal. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and made excellent recommendations that elevated the entire experience. The food was outstanding. Every dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. My favorites were the fried green tomatoes, the tomato basil bruschetta, the whipped formaggio, and the lemon miso salmon, which was cooked to perfection. Everything was thoughtfully prepared and paired perfectly. The Hugo cocktails were also exceptional: refreshing, well-balanced, and the perfect complement to the meal. I honestly wish I could come here every day! If you're looking for outstanding food, exceptional service, and a sophisticated atmosphere, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit. Highly recommended! read more

Great spot! Went with a group and the service was great. Starts with an Old Fashioned, excellent job with the cocktail. There were a couple of Apps ordered for the table and both were very good. We had the Whipper Formaggio and the Spicy Shrimp Crunch. Really liked the shrimp, but I didn't find it spicy at all. There were a number of good options for the main. A number of people got the Lemon Miso Salmon and everyone thought it was good. I was leaning to the Braised Short Ribs but pivoted to the Roasted Pappardelle Pasta. The fresh pasta was excellent. The tomato cream sauce worked great with the shrimp and chorizo. This was a very cool place and there is little doubt that I will return. read more

Saints + Council - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I came here to celebrate a friends birthday and it's safe to say it's officially bookmarked as date night spot! I parked in the garage at the red deck which is $24, however, bring your ticket because they validate it. I ended up paying $15 instead. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When we arrived, there was a violinist playing r&b songs. I believe he left around 3:30 PM, so get they're early![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Anyway I had an espresso martini to start and it was decent. For my entree I went with the Crispy Chicken + Dutch. Their dinner menu doesn't start until 5:00 PM. Anyway my meal was delicious! I will be back to order my own eggs & short ribs because that was good too! Everyone enjoyed their meal and this restaurant! read more

I would recommend booking a reservation on Open Table for brunch as it was pretty busy! Service was great and the server answered our questions. The hot chocolate is delicious but a little steep at $9 a cup. The classic Dutch baby was really good a the perfect size to split! I was kind of full from the Dutch baby so went simple with my main course. I ordered a side of Gouda eggs and a homemade biscuit. Honestly all of the food was really good and came out quickly! They give out little postcards at the end of the meal which is a cute way to finish the meal. They validate parking in the underground garage for up to 2 hours which is a super nice perk! Otherwise, it's $6 every 30 minutes fyi. Looks like valet is available too. read more

I don't want to gate keep but this place has amazing food, [[HIGHLIGHT]]great ambience[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and wonderful service. I've been twice, once for brunch and once for dinner. Reservations are recommended but we didn't have any for brunch but lucked out with some seats at the bar. Food and cocktail was great so I decided to return with some friends from out of town for dinner. I wish I remembered the happy Latino server's name but he made some great recommendations and sang to us lol he was special. We tried the fried green tomatoes, bone broth, and I had the redfish - which was subbed for another fish that night. Everyone's dish came out great and we loved every bite. They surprised us at the end with postcards with different images to personalize and mail to someone of our choice. They pay for postage and everything. Overall a great restaurant for locals and out of towners alike. read more

This was my first time coming to Saints + Council, my aunt booked this due to all other places being full during brunch. It was absolutely packed when we went in, we checked in right at our reservation time and was sat with in minutes. We booked outdoor seating not aware of how the weather was going to be ( it was chilly ). We asked our waiter Brandon if we could move inside, he stated because it was busy we may not have a table but we can sit in the couch area next to the fire place so we agreed (it was better than a table in my opinion). Our server Brandon was very accommodating, friendly, and knowledgeable! We had never heard of the Dutch Baby food item so we decided to try it based off of his recommendation, and it was amazing! I had the Shrimp and Grits with collards and never experienced a better flavor, from the grits to the sauce that topped it, the flavor was insaneee! My party had the Short Rib Gratin and Short Rib and Eggs they LOVED it. We also had cocktails The Garden of Eden super earthy and light. Overall 10/10 experience! The violinist was a perfect touch to the ambiance and the food was like none other! Can't wait to come back and try the dinner menu!! read more

Saints & Council is an upscale southern restaurant in Colony Square. The four of us were seated in a comfortably sized rounded booth where we could all easily reach the shared plates. Speaking of shared plates, we started with the stuffed oysters, fried green tomatoes, bruschetta, & crab dip. These are generous portions so we were all content to stop eating. They are, however, known for their slow-cooked dishes so we forced ourselves to order the pork chop & braised short ribs to share. We added side plates of green beans & collards with seasoned cornbread. We thought we were full but we left nothing but bones. It was perfect. The cocktails were made as requested and our server, Caroline, was an excellent guide. My sister will receive some of her favourite chocolates for this recommendation. read more

Saints + Council - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

We had an excellent dinner at Saints + Council for my friend's birthday. Iv'e been here twice: once for a birthday dinner and once for date night. Both times, the food, service, and atmosphere were impeccable. They serve brunch and lunch too. For starters, park in the underground garage. Make sure to bring your parking ticket with you as Saints + Council validates for two hours. Once they validate, you have 20 minutes to leave the garage or else you must pay the full fare ($30 !!!) I've experienced the interior bar as well as the spacious outdoor patio with both covered and uncovered seating. Several dining room doors can open, facing the patio and Colony Square, creating a cool, airy vibe. The bar features traditional barstool seating, as well as high tip tables that "jut out" from the bar, creating a casual yet intimate dining experience. We walked in on a Saturday night with no reservations, so this was out only option, but it ended up being a great seating option for our date night. At the birthday dinner, all 14 of us were seated banquet style among the lush greenery and twinkling lights of the patio. We only had one server, but he handled our party with dedication and professionalism. We enjoyed the following: Baked crab dip Stuffed oysters Caesar salad Roasted pappardelle pasta Duck Confit as well as Dante's Revenge and Garden of Eden cocktails The drinks were strong yet flavorful. As for the food, everything was delicious. There wasn't a single bad dish. Portions were generous and the pasta was creamy, hearty, and flavorful. The duck confit was crisped to perfection and the accompanying sauce was amazing. We were too stuffed for dessert, but the dessert menu was tempting... maybe next time. And trust me, there will be a next time! read more

The restaurant was extremely nice on the outside. Walking into the restaurant it looks very upscale and great for date nights. I wouldn't say it is stuffy though, which is good. We had a reservation for 8pm on Friday night. The food was good. We got the crab dip as a starter which was really fresh. It is warm, so be mindful if you like cold crab dip. The dip came with Pita chips. We got the duck confit and the pasta. The duck was very tender and flavored. The red cabbage gave it an extra layer of flavor as well. 9/10. My girlfriend says that the pasta was extremely good. Considering she traveled to Italy, I value her opinion on pasta. 10/10. read more

You should book a reservation. We pulled up without one on a Sunday and decided to just sit at the bar. Our Bartender was super friendly and took our drink order immediately. The Brunch menu had some options but I would have preferred a few more non-meat options that weren't sweet dishes. The French toast is good though. Remember to get your parking validated.

Saints + Council - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

We had an excellent dinner at Saints + Council on Saturday. The food, service, and atmosphere were great. I recommend this place for a nice date or group dinner. They're open for brunch and lunch too. Saints + Council is keeping the 2010s trend of "[insert word here] and [insert word here]" restaurant names going in the 2020s. Examples: Cooks & Soldiers, Bread & Butterfly, The Deer and The Dove. Saints + Council opened at Colony Square in Midtown Atlanta on December 10, 2021. Park in the Colony Square underground garage. You can enter via either Peachtree St NE or 14th St NE. Take your parking ticket with you. Saints + Council validates for two hours. Once they validate, you have 20 minutes to leave the garage or the validation is no good. If you want to stroll around or go elsewhere (e.g., at Colony Square) afterwards, you can return to the host stand later for validation. The Colony Square parking rate was $6 per 30 minutes. We were in and out in 2 hours 31 minutes. Parking cost $30 less $21 with validation. I was charged $9. Now almost four years old, the restaurant still looks new, fresh, and beautiful. Inside and out, it's clean and sophisticated. The design is classy and not overdone. There's a spacious outdoor patio with both covered and uncovered seating. Several dining room doors can open, facing the patio and Colony Square, creating a cool, airy vibe. During our visit, the executive chef stood on a platform by the kitchen, finishing dishes while overlooking the interior with an intimidating presence. Book reservations using OpenTable. Saints + Council awards 100 points per reservation. The restaurant was busy, but not completely full, when we were there. The business describes its cuisine/menu as "Modern-American offerings with an emphasis on smoked, braised and confit meats." Here's what my wife and I had: Mindful Pours (mocktails) * Spring Talbot ($13) - Lyre's non-alcoholic agave liqueur, lavender, honey, lemon, bubbles (spirit-free) Shared Plates * Hand-Tied Burrata ($18) - fresh burrata, marinated asparagus ribbons, chili-basil oil, crispy toasted crostini * Spicy Mussels ($19) - Prince Edward Island mussels, arbol chili, roasted tomato, cream, focaccia * Oysters on the Half Shell (12 for $42) - Bosc pear, peppered honey mignonette Salads * Little Gem Caesar ($14) - white anchovy dressing, Parmesan, bacon migas, fried capers, cured egg Slow-Cooked * Duck Confit ($35) - duck legs, braised red cabbage, roasted acorn squash, dark cherry molasses Main * Lemon Miso Salmon ($32) - miso-glazed Atlantic salmon, crispy potatoes, blistered asparagus, miso lemon compound butter Desserts * Bick's Famous Peanut Butter Pie ($15) - creamy and whipped peanut butter pie, peanut butter cups, cookies + cream crust First, the drink. The Spring Talbot mocktail was a little too sweet. Something as simple as a poppi would've actually been better. As for the food, everything was delicious. There wasn't a single bad dish. Why four stars instead of five? While everything was solid, nothing was mind-blowing. Gut says four instead of five. A strong four, 4.5. Regardless, the food was very good. We love burrata and a lot of places serve it. Saints + Council's Burrata was different in the way it was tied (presentation), and the asparagus ribbons were creative and original. The Spicy Mussels impressed me the most. This is another dish a lot of places do, but Saints + Council had one of the best I've tasted in recent years (and it was nice and spicy). The oysters were Blue Points. They were pre-dressed (you don't see that often and I appreciated it), super fresh, cleanly shucked, and flavorful. The honey mignonette added a distinct sweet flavor, which I admittedly wasn't the biggest fan of. I prefer my oysters more plain and briny, but these are still worth ordering. The Little Gem Caesar had some extra salty and sour to it because of the fried capers and chopped cured egg. Not bad at all. Of the entrees, the Lemon Miso Salmon outshined the slow-cooked Duck Confit. Our server suggested the salmon. Salmon is one of the last dishes we order, especially at a nicer place like this. But wow, it was incredible. Something you can't make at home, from the texture of the salmon to the balance of flavors. It was very nuanced. Compared to the salmon, the Duck Confit was not as impactful flavorwise, but it was still tasty and satisfying. Portions were generous. The Peanut Butter Pie was amazing and probably my favorite dish. I highly recommend it. It was light, creamy, and fluffy, yet also rich and delectably sweet. Even my wife, who doesn't like peanut butter desserts, found it irresistible. Our server Emma Kate was friendly and efficient. She made thoughtful recommendations and carefully packed our leftovers. Something interesting at the end: We were handed Saints + Council postcards with our check. Emma Kate said we could write postcards and the restaurant would mail them for free. Unique and fun marketing. read more

Saints + Council has been on my list for a while and I was able to finally give them a try! Yay! They are located in Colony Square so parking is fairly easy. :) From the moment of arrival, the lighting + the greeting was so warm! We had to wait a short few minutes for our table, but there was plenty to admire in the meantime. Once seated, we were quickly greeted and our server was a host of menu knowledge. Personally, I love when servers give genuine feedback on dishes including their personal favorites or fun facts/stories to accompany so we got excited quickly to eat. We had a few cocktails, but I only grabbed a couple photos. What I will say is that the cocktails + dessert was my favorite over food, but for me it was more of a temperature thing, than flavor. (I love piping hot food) Cocktails: 1. Dante's Revenge 10/10: balanced, not too sweet and loved the bubbliness of the foam 2. Garden of Eden 10/10: so crispy, slightly floral and extremely smooth 3. Smoked Michoacan 9/10: smoky, but balanced with the tart blackberry 4. Serpent's Elixir 8/10: a little sweeter than my liking but the creamy coconut essence is fun with the freshness of cucumber which balances out the finish Food Time! :) 1. Shrimp Crunch 8/10: good crunch, love the shrimp size, not the most complex flavored sauce! Just a nice starter anyone could enjoy 2. Crab Bisque 8/10: very creamy! Nice, aromatic crab flavor 3. Bourbon Barrel Smoked Chicken 6/10: this may have been my least favorite honestly. The skin didn't have a bite to it so it just all blended texture wise. For me. I didn't personally care for the sweetness of the bbq sauce that seemed to glaze it, and would have prepared more smokiness and spice. Regardless, it wasn't super dry which can be hard with larger cuts of chicken. 4. Half Dozen Oysters: 9/10: loves these! Smaller but super fresh and light brine taste. Loved that they were pre-dressed as well! 5. Lemon Miso Salmon 10/10: the sauce was heavenly, buttery, light, and had a depth of citrus notes that gave either a specific type of lemon used that was sweeter or an addition of orange juice to balance the sour! Nice crispy bits on salmon as well. 6: Braised Short Rib 9/10: very tender, extremely tasty and I loved that the sauce was more of a pot Liqour gravy than a very think wine sauce that you often see with short rib. Random star of the dish were the delicious carrots which provided some earthiness and sweetness to the rich rib 7: Strawberry Shortcake: 8/10: genuinely delicious! Loved the texture of the cake that the cast iron gave We ended our night with a sweet gesture of some postcards to choose from & were able to write some notes and then our server ensured they were sent out. How cute!? I cannot wait to come back in and try even more. Thanks Saints + Council team for having me. read more

I can't believe I've never rated one of my new favorite brunch spots! Saints + Council hits all of the checkmarks when it comes to an elevated dining experience- great food, great vibes, and fantastic service! Make sure you have reservations on the weekends as it's pretty popular. My favorite meal to order here is the fried chicken dutch baby. Sooo good! It's almost like a take on chicken and waffles/pancakes with an extra southern and European twist. The dutch baby itself is like a baked eggy pancake. I've also tried their pancakes here, and they are just as good! I'd say it's hard to find something on the menu that's disappointing. Run don't walk here for your next brunch outing with friends! read more

I had a wonderful experience at Saint & Council. My server Lauren was amazing, attentive and friendly, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. The spicy mussels were excellent and came as a generous portion, perfect for sharing. The fried green tomatoes were also a hit with about five perfectly crisp pieces that were flavorful and well prepared. I love that they give you postcards at the end of your dinner and if you want to use them they will even mail them for you if you leave it at the table. Such a cool touch.

The restaurant is located in Colony Square, so parking can be a bit tricky. They do offer a validation discount if you park in the Colony Square garage. We were dropped off by family, and we came for weekend brunch with a reservation made in advance. The décor is really nice, and the food was good overall. We were first seated all the way in the back indoors, which was a bit dark, but the staff was happy to move us when we asked. We ended up sitting outside, which was much nicer. Although they brought out the wrong order twice, the service was still friendly and attentive. We had: - Braised Short Rib Gratin: The first time, they brought the wrong dish. The second time, it came with scrambled eggs instead of sunny-side-up as listed on the menu, but I just went with it. - Avocado Toast: My friend really enjoyed it. All in all, it's a nice spot for weekend brunch, good food, friendly service, and a pleasant atmosphere. read more

WOW! An unexpected 5-star experience. Everything was so thoughtfully done. On top of having fantastic service (thanks Lauren!) and incredible food with good portion sizes, there were a few thoughtful touches that REALLY set this place apart as a gem in hospitality and will make me come back soon! First, I was with a group of three friends for my birthday, so it was a small group. They offered to bring me a ~FREE~ glass of champagne or dessert for my birthday! Wuuuuht!? A complimentary birthday item? In THIS economy!? No one does that anymore. So fun!!! Next, at the end of the night, they brought out all of these beautiful, branded postcards for Saints + Council. They brought pens out and offered to have us fill out as many cards as we'd like before leaving, and they'd add postage to them and pop them into the mail for us to get to our recipients! GENIUS, low-cost marketing!!! Our table transformed into a secretary's office as we wrote our little hearts out! How unique!? That's unique character and tradition that I'd love all restaurants to have. read more

Had an incredible dining experience at Saints + Council. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt upscale without being stiff, and the energy in the room made it feel like something special was happening at every table. The food was the real star. Every dish came out beautifully plated and packed with flavor, but what stood out most was the balance between bold seasoning and thoughtful presentation. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in every plate that leaves the pass. The cocktails were just as impressive, crafted with care and strong enough to make you slow down and enjoy the moment. Service was attentive, knowledgeable, and never overbearing. The staff made great recommendations and kept everything moving smoothly from start to finish. Perfect spot for a date night, celebration, or just treating yourself to a high-quality meal. Definitely one of those places you leave already planning your next visit. read more

However, the service was a bit slow, considering the busy nature of the place and the prime brunch hours. The peanut butter hot chocolate was decent, and the burger was a smash burger rather than a normal one. On the positive side, the fries were rosemary-flavored, which was an interesting twist. read more

I've always enjoyed the curb appeal of this restaurant and finally got to experience it as part of a group outing. The interior was lovely and there was an abundance of outdoor seating available. This would be a superb location for a date. All of the waitstaff were pleasant and courteous. All of our entrees arrived quickly and with flair. I love a nicely plated meal! Menu-wise, I didn't feel like I had a ton to choose from for dinner options. I wonder if they're in the business of having seasonal menus? Anyway, I chose the braised short rib which was satisfactory but I had the same feeling about the cocktails too. Nothing jumped out at me. Ironically the coffees and desert options were super appealing. I think this all means that I should visit again for brunch lol. They happily validated parking but I still had to pay $6 to get out. All in all, a solid establishment. I would return. read more

I've been to Saints + Council four times, and I cannot believe that I have yet to review them, which obviously if I've been here that many times it obviously means they have something that keeps me coming back. Let's get into it! Location and Parking They're located in Colony Square. Best bet is to park in the underground garage and take the escalator up. Make sure you bring your parking ticket with you because Saints + Council will validate for two hours, however do the validation when you're getting ready to leave because once they validate your parking you have 20 minutes to exit the garage or you'll pay the full parking fee, a whopping $30. Venue and Atmosphere The space is gorgeous, the vibes are open and airy. I've sat on the outside patio, inside, as well as the interior bar. There's a homey kind of vibe there that is welcoming and comfortable. One of the times I was here for brunch they had a live violinist who definitely added to the vibes flowing. Food and drinks I've been here for two brunches, a birthday dinner, and a date night. So let's do a quick rundown of food and drinks that I've had that I would reccommend: For brunch (weekends only) Donut dippers All Saints Breakfast Crispy Chicken + Dutch For dinner Stuffed oysters Cesar salad Baked crab dip Duck confit Cheese + Charcuterie Drinks Garden of Eden Venezuelan Old Fashioned Dante's Revenge All amazing, you won't be disappointed. Service The service here has always been amazing. When I was here for a birthday dinner there was about 13 of us, and our server handled everything with the utmost professionalism. Food always comes out quickly and servers always are engaged and make sure they check on us. Verdict Clearly I love it here lol, and I plan on stopping by as many time as I can. If you're looking for good food, good drinks, and a good vibe in the city then they should definitely be on your list of places to check out. Until next time! read more

Table for 2 for Dinner I parked in the Colony Square parking deck and took the escalator upstairs. We had tickets to a nearby show, and this was our pre show dinner. We walked over to the restaurant, entered, and approached the podium. The hostess was on the phone, and once she finished, she addressed us warmly and confirmed our reservation. We were quickly led to a table for four, even though it was just the two of us. I took a quick run to the restroom, and when I got back our server was already there with menus. We reviewed both the food and beer menus. They had a pretty good beer selection. Wifey ordered a Tangerine Wheat from Fall Line Brewery called Daily Rind, and I opted for the Creature Comforts Bigger Dreams Hazy IPA. The beers came out pretty quickly, and by then we were ready to order our entrees. Wifey ordered the Duck Confit with a side of cornbread and collard greens. There were plenty of good options to choose from, but I decided on the Roasted Pappardelle Pasta. Everything came out extremely fast. We started to dig in, and Wifey was making all kinds of sound effects while raving about her duck confit. My pappardelle was a good sized portion and the look of the sauce almost reminded me of a Thai curry mixture. Initially, I thought it needed a little more seasoning, but once I mixed everything together, especially the chorizo, the flavors worked well together. I could have used a little red pepper flakes or some added spice, but the shrimp and pasta were cooked perfectly.I also tried the side of collard greens and cornbread. The cornbread was dense but good, and the collard greens were seasoned well. Our server checked in on us at just the right time. The service, atmosphere, and food were top notch. We were in and out with plenty of time to spare before our show. I would definitely come back. read more

Decided to try Saints & Council for my birthday brunch, and for a first visit, it was a pretty good experience overall. The vibe is really nice -- bright, modern, and perfect for a celebratory meal. Ordered the Summer Reverlé to drink, and it was refreshing with just the right amount of sweetness. For food, went with the Apple Crumble Pancake Breakfast plus a side of potatoes. The pancakes were beautiful and had great flavor, though I'd say the overall meal was alright rather than amazing. The potatoes were a solid addition, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
