    Very good food and lovely dinner ambiance. I had previously only been here for brunch but we had to go for dinner too and try out their holiday cocktails. My friends and I enjoyed everything we ate and drank!

    The Garden Room is a once in a lifetime experience! It was well worth going to see the atmosphere and taste the food. Make sure to try the Le Vie Rose for dessert. The presentation is not to be missed. The waitress and staff went way above expectations to make sure everything was perfect. The only drawback is the prices. Definitely worth it for a special occasion. Just realize the portions will be small and expensive.

    We have been to Saints + Council twice and both times were excellent. Our first visit was before going across the street to the Atlanta Symphony. The second was with our out of town guests. The ambiance was great. The food was excellent. Yousef, our waiter, did a very good job explaining the menu and making recommendations. We will go again.
