    The Saint is located on the Main street in St. Helena. We walked in, no reservations and were greeted sweetly. We sat down and ordered two flights, one of 'Lucious reds' and the other of 'bubbles'. The server was a one woman show, however, some locals seem to come in after us, and they were served their order before ours. I was disappointed because I was hoping to order more from the flight tasting but we got off to such a slow and un-prioritized start, unfortunately that wish fizzled with the last. We order nuts along with the flights. They were an assortment of cashew, almond, pistachio, macadamia & pecan. They were salted and paired well. This day, is not fair to judge the ambiance given the last minute New Year's Eve decor... so I will assume that normally this is a great romantic place with lots of partitioned seating. I had no food. Hoping to try one day.

    Burrata plate - so nice..

    I loved this location and the setting is excellent. We were there on a Saturday night and so they had lice music as well. Our Service was excellent as was the food and the drinks. I had the gnocchi and I believe I would say it is the best I have ever had. So light. We had the crab cake (yummy), the burrata plate (yum), a mixed salad with filet, fries, and a spectacular crème brûlée. We had a none alcohol sparking (excellent), a Manhattan, and a while flight with pours that we very large. All the food comes from The Market and affiliated business next door. Fabulous, please try.

    The Saint is fairly small but cute. They have candles in the bathroom that they do sell in restaurant as well (I thought it was a unique touch). After sun down they had live music which was absolutely lovely. Our server and host were very kind and attentive as well. Unfortunately, I don't think the food was worth it. The chicken was very dry and I could not eat it. The veggies were good but nothing special. They accidentally brought over a peach salad instead of the chicken dish first, so they let us keep it. The peach salad was also underwhelming. My friend seemed to enjoy her chopped salad though. While the food wasn't great, we did have a good time here as the ambiance and service made up for it!

    They have private room that seats, four people as well as a room in the back that seats 12

    I was sitting outside and this beautiful young lady was watering the plants. After introductions she invited me to checkout the inside of The Saint WOW the interior was stunning. Heidi aka the owner invited us to their Friday night Festivities. We can't wait to join in on Wine Tasting fun !!

    There is limited parking on the busy street but we lucked out! There are plenty of comfortable seating areas on couches all around. Perfect for a meet up stop for a glass. It's super cute inside. We walked into our reservations for lunch. It wasn't busy at all, just a couple at the bar. We ordered a champagne flight of 3 glasses which was a great choice to try a few. To order food, your server takes your order and places it from the restaurant next door. I ordered the burger and friend and it was all good! Overall, I would recommend to check out.

    We got to enjoy dinner at a private table inside an 1890s bank vault. That alone was pretty cool! They had some live music that started around 7pm as well. The place isn't very big though so the musicians were about standing in the entrance. This place doesn't have their own kitchen they share a kitchen with the restaurant called Market next door so all the food comes from them. Not really a downside, the food was all still really warm and enjoyable. We started with the crab cake, it was great and actually all crab and not crab + fillers. The corn and asparagus relish it sits on was delightful. I got the filet and it was so yummy! Can't go wrong with this dish. Cooked well and had great flavor. The scallop potatoes were delicious! Very cheesy flavor:) My hubs got the salmon. The salmon was awesome! The salmon skin was crispy and that gave it so much wonderful texture! But that pomegranate sauce that came with it was visually off putting. It was bubble gum pink! Looks like salmon in pepto bismol guys.. besides that the dish still tasted great.

    Love the crown molding and lighting, photo doesn't do it justice

    We went to The Saint last Saturday to see Kevin Hague; he was amazing! We always enjoy the ambiance here: dim lighting, cozy couches friendly staff and of course the bubbles! Great wine list. Sometimes we run into the owners, Heidi and Scott, which always makes our time more enjoyable. (Tip: Look for the vibrant blonde with the edgy haircut - that's Heidi and she's great). We highly recommend this friendly hidden gem for a start to your evening or a night cap

    Classy establishment and knowledgeable staff. We were referred over here by another wine tasting room because we just wanted a glass of wine vs. a tasting. This is the place to go for that glass! Reasonably priced and they also make mixed drinks (using soft vs. hard alcohol). Will definitely return.

    Okay, warning... hidden gem alert!!! This place for the win. So, I found this spot on instagram of all places through another page I follow in the St Helena area- and can I say, we love what you guys are doing and offering, keep it up! Living in Napa split time, we sometimes venture up to St Helena and beyond lol. With that said, everyone knows, EVERYTHING, shuts down early and it becomes a sleepy little town at night. Well, this place is a game changer, as far as that's concerned. I've had my sights set on visiting for a few months. I finally had the opportunity to pop in. I was not disappointed. Think old brick building, with a the nostalgic stamped tin roof, chandeliers, and even an old bank vault that you can dine in- plush black couches, dim lighting, intimate, yet a total vibe, and live music. To further compliment this stellar ambience, wine, craft-cocktails, even a dinner menu, annnnd dessert! The night I visited, it was a quieter night, which was fine. We popped in for dessert and some dessert wine. We were sat promptly, the staff was wonderful and welcoming. They told us all about the great live music for the evening. We also met the owner. She was a wonderful gal, extremely personable, and she even helped us, herself. We were tasting dessert wines, to which I was searching for my calling that evening lol. Lo and behold, she pulled a secret squirrel stash French dessert wine out of her vault that was off menu, which I ordered- of course lol. We also ordered two of their most decadent chocolate desserts because it was just that kind of night and they were great. We really appreciated the attentiveness and the friendliness of the staff and owner. Also, from what I've seen on their Instagram page, this place gets a bit live and quite the crowd. We just happened to pop in on a quieter evening. They also have an exclusive social club that we learned about, which gathers monthly. This is a must visit hidden gem in St Helena. You will not be disappointed, especially if you're looking for a night life, but without the sloppy bar experience (downtown Napa after 9pm) lol. This place is trendy and upscale and gives you the nightlife vibe and so much more. So thank you, The Saint for waking up little St Helena!

    We had the steak which was cooked to perfection. Crab cakes were also good. Extensive perfect wine list also. We will be back

    Had a brief visit for a glass of wine and a snack. The food generally is served down next door at the Market. We had a hummus dish which was very nice and was washed down by a glass of wine from the list. We share a pasta from the Market Next door and had a quiet evening.

I've been twice and sat at the bar both times. first visit was with hubby so we ordered the fried chicken and had a few sides...the chicken is juicy and crispy and oh so flavorful...even better with their signature hot sauce! visit 2 i was with my daughter so we opted for a salad and the chicken strips w/ fries. totally doable for out appetite. Looks teeny tiny when it comes out to you but was more than satisfying. i personally love the strips (easier to eat)...but try both for yourself! the service is stellar and the atmosphere is nice. a little warmer in the bar area vs the dining area (where the bathroom is) so choose accordingly. they also have a small patio with seating also. looking forward to visit #3... and make sure to check out the JCB lounge around the corner to satisfy your champagne (and wine) cravings

You are enmeshed in a peaceful sanctuary, enveloped by the lush greenery outside. Soft, tasteful music accompanies. The food is very good, at times superb, with attractive, precise platings. Appetizers and shareables shine. Free Bread Course (5/5) - outrageously tasty. Some of the best focaccia I've had, with their absurdly good estate olive oil to dip in. Difficult to not eat too much of this. Meadowood Farms Spring Green Salad (5/5) - $22 - Ridiculously fresh vegetables picked from Meadowood's own garden. The top-level freshness reminded me of vegetables at Single Thread. Globe Artichoke Confit (5/5) - $26 - Perhaps my favorite dish of the evening, oozing umami flavor, with crispy trumpet mushrooms and artichoke hearts swimming in a bed of delectable tomato concasse. The accompanying estate olive oil is some of the best I've had. Liberty Farms Duck Leg Confit (4.5/5) - $42 - Tough for me to ever pass up duck confit, and this version did not disappoint. The accompanying blackberry beet reduction was perfect. Arroz Caldo (3.5/5) - $19 - The only slight disappointment of the night. The shredded chicken was moist, but the ginger favorite was overwhelmed by the overabundance of salt. Chocolate Pot de Creme (4/5) - $16 - Pretty good, with rich, deep chocolate notes, but we were probably too full at this point to fully appreciate.

Knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly unfazed by our enthusiasm for both food and wine, Arthur made the evening feel relaxed and fun--like dining with a professional who enjoys his job. All in all, it's a place that takes food and drink seriously, but not itself--and that's a combination worth coming back for.

    My husband and I came for a weekday happy hour. We had the meatloaf and mashed potatoes, the…read moregorgonzola burrata cheese with their fresh bakery bread, and the bolognese pasta bowl. We also had a margarita and a couple of Manhattans. The massive bar was impressive as is the owner's art collection. Everything was great. The bartender and owner were very helpful and had great stories to tell. I look forward to trying the new restaurant where the Golden Harvest Chinese restaurant used to be.

    We were running late and called to let them know and were told that while they couldn't hold our…read morereservation, they could put us on their wait list. When we arrived the restaurant was packed, but we were got a very friendly greeting and were seated immediately. Our waitress, Brook, was really friendly and professional. The wait worked togethrr as a team and even the manager helped out with bussing tables-true professionals! As we had a reservation for dinner at Bouchon, we wanted something smaller so my wife and I got the house salad and the cup of chili. The salad was a good portion and loaded with toppings including hard boiled egg, homemade croutons, cheese, etc. And dressed just right. The "cup" of chili was a good sized bowl. It was the best chili I've ever had in a restaurant! Plenty of beef with a mix of cubed (chili cut) and ground beef. The spice level was just right, no added hot sauce needed, topped with cheddar and raw onion. My wife couldn't finish hers, but after finishing mine, as much as I wanted to I couldn't either! This may be a long review for salad and chili but the service made Rutherford Grill one of our best meals in Napa. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town.

    The food at Rutherford bar and grill is good! Myself and two friends have spent a lot of $$'s…read morethere through the years. However, a very humiliating experience happened to me at a restaurant (not Rutherford Grill) that had me vomiting ( thank God on the floor) a truly embarrassing situation! So, it had been recommended by my health practitioner to have pro biotic drinks, rather then a soft drinks. My friend and I went to Rutherford bar and grill once a week. On this particular evening, we were seated, I asked for a glass of ice for my pro biotic drink which I took out of my purse (I bought it at Wholefoods minutes prior to going to restaurant ) She immediately said you can not bring your own beverage inside. I showed her my un-opened bottle,"it's lemon ginger for my stomach disorder its not alcoholic". I respectively pointed to the bottle. She kindly departed and said that she would get back to me on whether or not I could drink it, after speaking with her supervisor. Meanwhile roughly 10 or fifteen minutes had passed and the gal never got back to myself and my friend seated at the table. Fifteen minutes later, a tall attractive women (possibly 40 to 45 years of age) with a white chef top and black pants came to our table. She had long black straight hair and fiery red lipstick. She came to our table, and asked, if there was anything we needed. I was surprised and asked, "are you a chef? this is unusual your coming to our table". She ignored my question, and asked again, "was there anything we needed?' I explained that my friend had ordered her drink already and that I had asked for a glass of ice. "by this time close to twenty minutes had passed since the gal said she'd ask her supervisor) So, my thought was "oh I guess I can drink my pro biotic". So, my friend got her alcoholic beverage and a glass of ice was brought to me. I poured my drink into my ice filled glass and took one sip...when miss tall attractive women with the chef uniform approaches me..sadly her expression was jealousy and happiness as she spoke to me as though she was "getting off", on telling a genuinely kind and tall blonde woman, "give me your drink" my friend and I were shocked! I explained its a pro biotic for my stomach challenges, its not alcohol." She smiled a fake smile and said "hand it to me, beverages are not allowed to be brought into our restaurant!" tears pricked at my eyes out of shock and embarrassment, because fellow patrons were looking at me like I had done something wrong. I said..."well then can I go outside and drink it? this was an expensive drink for my stomach, I just bought it had Wholefoods a few minutes ago." She sternly said, "No. Consider this a warning or never come back again!", as she reached over me and took my bottle and my glass away! My experience was beyond humiliating. Needless to say we did not eat dinner their and my friend did not drink her margarita. I am a Spiritual life Coach. I value and love, treating people with compassion and respect. Jealousy is ugly, no matter how attractive a women may be! Needless to say my friends and myself after several years of eating there: have never returned. This situation happened 4 months ago. I felt it was time to express my feelings.
