    After a nightmare with Toulouse in Plano cancellng my Valentine’s dinner without reason, I was devastated that I couldn’t find a special place suitable for my wonderful girlfriend and I. But what started as a disappointment ended up as one of the most incredible evenings ever! We both remembered a previous visit to Saint Ann’s….and I was lucky enough to get a last minute reservation! We even got our favorite table #14 the same as our first visit! Thank you to the staff, Linda, Desi and Tristyn for making us both feel like VIPs! The food was delicious and beautifully presented, and the desserts were a masterpiece! We both agreed that this was our best Valentine’s dinner ever! We will definitely be back again!

    Quiet and beautiful dining with an amazing view of the Dallas skyline. Our 5 o clock reservation allowed us to catch a great view of the February Dallas sunset and skyline lights! Jack was our server, he mentioned he usually bartends but hes definitely cut out for this role as well! We had the “Knights Templar” - Pinot noir. Relatively inexpensive bottle but worth every drop and paired perfect with our filet, boneless ribeye and lobster tail! DO NOT MISS OUT ON THE BRUSSELS SPROUTS - THEY ARE UNBELIEVABLE! Can’t think of a better place to enjoy an ambience, view, romance and dinner! 10/10

    This was a totally awesome experience! The moment that we arrived everyone was friendly and welcoming. Our experience guide was knowledgeable and provided great service and information about the menu and what was seasonal and the hot items. I am an Old Fashioned drink lover and the Soul Fashioned and Harlem Knights drink were on point! The Soul Rolls were a meal in themselves and were FANTASTIC. The Lamb chops were seasoned to perfection and The stuffed chicken was a HOMERUN! Now, The Hip Hop and R&B sides are plentiful and more than enough to share unless you are like me and love greens! The sweet potato cornbread was awesome! Now, finally, this thing you did with the dessert is Definitely Poetry in Motion! The Fried Pound Cake with the Peach Cobbler on top...........DAMN! Thanks We Will definitely be back
