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.

Amazing experience! Our server knew a lot about the plates, which was really helpful when choosing what to order. His favorites were just amazing! Everyone should try the Apple Delight, it’s incredible!!! And being able to eat while watching the Porsches drive around the track? Just perfect! This is a must-go for any car enthusiast!!!

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.

Lunch menu provided online was not available, very disappointed we wanted certain items. However, the food was very good, and the server very nice. I would eat there again knowing now that the lunch menu is limited.
