    Celebrated my son-law's 50th birthday. Four of us enjoyed two bottles of Cohors French red wine to start the night of right. They serve great bread with proscuito. The thinly cut meat was devine and the girls loved the bread. We shared two appetizers, the steak tartar and the oysters rockefeller. Both were great but I enjoyed the tartar better. Dinner was the chicken, the sole, filet and NY strip. With the steak we had the potatoes with cheese and the mushrooms. My wife said the chicken was the best she ever had. All the main courses were great but the mushrooms with the steaks really make the experience fabulous. We finished the birthday meal with Baked Alaska, as most at the table had never tried this unique experience, and three capacinos. We look forward to our next Michelin experience. One word, it is not cheap but you definitely get an exception dining experience for the money.

    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.

    This is the restaurant I've been dying to find since moving to Atlanta 3 years ago. This is officially the best brunch PERIODT. The vibe is so cool, so O4W. The hostess has the mostest and our server was so sweet and fun. Our new years day brunch was the total package. We're already planning our second meal later this week. I will be a regular.
