It was so nice I love the way it is. I love the service and he replaced my grits with mashed potatoes and I said I don’t like grits.

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.

Last night was our first time ever going up to the roof at Ponce and dining at 9 mile. My stepsons were in town and it was everyone’s first time ever going to Atlanta and I wanted to give them the best experience and you guys hit it out of the park. I’m trying to recall our servers name. She was wonderful and very accommodating, super sweet and it was only her second day and she did amazing. Me and my husband are definitely coming back for date night when we get a chance.
