    My wife and I booked a table in the restaurant at The Saint last night and drove down from Aberdeen to celebrate our daughter’s 19th birthday. We were seated promptly in a comfortable table and our drinks order was taken. If I’m being overly critical, the delay to actually bring our drinks and take and the serve our food order was longer than I would have preferred. However, when it did arrive it was absolutely worth the wait. My wife had the Saint Burger, my daughter had the mac n cheese and I had the beef and ale pie. All 3 dishes were amazing - very tasty and exceptionally generous portions. Thanks to all from the host to the serving staff to the chefs. We will definitely be back.

    The employees were attentive, helpful and pleasant, especially the young male waiter who took our order. The place is divided into sections and the atmosphere is calming. The reason I downgraded the food was because I can't eat garlic and it turned out that almost everything on the menu had it as an ingredient. The waiter kindly went to the kitchen to ask about various possible choices, but each one had garlic as an ingredient. I ended up with a chicken sandwich, and couldn't order the soup which would have come with it as part of the same cost, because of the garlic. It's a shame because I have friends who eat at Saints and love it.

    Had to wait too long for everything. Presentation of main course was poor. Waited over an hour for main course. Used this restaurant when it was the Westport for years. This was our sixth visit since it changed hands and to be fair the only one we have been disappointed. We have been with family also. John & Jean Holmes.
