Stylish New American spot with strong cocktails, a creative, seafood-forward menu, and lively indoor-outdoor seating; food is often good but inconsistent, service can lag, and prices are high for the portions.
Saint & Second delivers solid neighborhood dining with exceptional setting appeal and a strong cocktail program, but inconsistent food quality and variable service timing prevent it from reaching higher territory. The creative New American menu shines when executed well—gochujang pork belly, coconut dashi salmon—yet dishes range from excellent to underseasoned depending on the night, making it a worthwhile destination for cocktails and atmosphere rather than culinary consistency.
One caveat: Service delays and seating miscommunications during peak and event nights
