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.

First time going there. Everything was really good! This was my first time eating chicken burger and they didn’t disappoint me. Food was very good with reasonable prices. Staff was nice and polite. We made a reservation and didn’t have to wait at all. We arrived and went straight to the table. The even took in count my request for space for the stroller. I would recommend it. The only bad thing is that brunch is only for weekends .

Really great atmosphere, views of downtown Atlanta are amazing, service was exemplary and food was exquisite. I do wish the portions were a little bigger as some entrees seemed small given the price. But overall, we enjoyed spending our time here for our anniversary.
