- AAlondraHouston •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoWe celebrated our 12th anniversary and Valentine’s Day at Saint’s Italian restaurant. The dark, sultry ambience set the perfect mood for our special night. Upon arrival, we were surprised with complimentary champagne, which was a lovely touch. Our server was fantastic, attentive and knowledgeable, making our evening even more enjoyable. We tried the Texas wagyu ribeye, which had great flavor, though it was a little undercooked in some parts. The cheesecake was tasty as well, but the bottom was still frozen, making it a bit challenging to enjoy. Despite these minor issues, it was a wonderful dining experience overall.More infoThe Saint Italian SteakhousePrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Downtown•4.6
