I told our waitress it was my friends birthday. At the end of our delicious meal, she brought out a chocolate cake on a plate decorated for her birthday with a card signed by the employees. Thank you for helping make tonight a special birthday dinner.

We saw Saint + Council and considered trying it for our date night. We were extremely please with the food, prices were reasonable for a date night location, and the service was great. Only downfall was a table by us was EXTREMELY loud, but that’s isn’t the restaurants fault.
