    Great restaurant, came here for Valentine’s Day and they had a great experience set up. Drinks are spectacular. Food is great as well, I had the NY strip with steak frites and my date had the braised short rib, we both tried each other’s and gave it a 10/10. The chef is doing a great job and the staff always makes sure you’re fine. Will be coming again.

    We had the best table in the building!!! It was my favorite. Love everything about this place minus the small portions and pricing of certain items. 120$ lobster Mac (I get it, it’s 1.5# lobster which is pricey) and 75$ table side carbonara is plain wild. 110$ filet is literal steak house territory without any details on the filet itself. Dry aged? Wet aged? Sourced from? Anyways it’s amazing food but maybe having waiters go in depth on each of these special meals would help sway consumers.

    A Perfect Valentine’s Dinner with an Unforgettable View! My Valentine’s Day at Sun Dial Restaurant was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and breathtaking panoramic views of the city. The atmosphere was elegant yet cozy—perfect for a romantic evening. The food was absolutely exquisite. Every dish was crafted with precision, bursting with flavor, and beautifully presented. From the appetizers to the main course and dessert, everything was flawless. The wine selection was also top-notch, pairing perfectly with our meal. What truly made the night special was the ambiance—soft lighting, a gentle rotation that gave us different views of the skyline, and impeccable service that made us feel like VIPs. It was an experience we’ll never forget. If you’re looking for a romantic dining experience, especially for a special occasion like Valentine’s Day, Sun Dial is the place to be.

    From the moment we walked into Saints + Council, I knew we were in for something special. The ambiance, a perfect blend of elegance and comfort, set the tone for an unforgettable culinary journey. The service was impeccable. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and eager to make recommendations that turned out to be spot-on. Every dish we ordered was a celebration of flavors. Now, let’s talk about the food. Each course was a masterpiece. We started with the crab dip and fried cauliflower, both a delightful fusion of fresh ingredients and bold flavors that danced on the palate. For the main course, I indulged in the salmon, cooked to perfection with a rich sauce that elevated the dish to new heights. We’ve all had our fair share of salmon, but this was next level! Every bite was tender and bursting with flavor, paired beautifully with crispy potatoes and asparagus. Dessert was the grand finale. The bread pudding was nothing short of perfection, a harmonization of textures and flavors that left me craving more. Overall, S+C exceeded our expectations in every way. The combination of exquisite food, exceptional service, and a warm atmosphere makes it a must-visit for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience. We can’t wait to return! Highly recommend!

    Overall the dining experience was 5 stars. The waitstaff is top notch and we enjoyed our time. I did not enjoy my meal as much as I wanted too. It was very salty and in my opinion had too much oil. I suspect that this is not the norm as many people in my life rave about this place. I will try again in the future to see if it was just an off meal.
