Saint & Second

Making a reservation online was quick and easy. They also had plenty of seating inside and out, so they may be able to accommodate walk-in also. The restaurant is located in the center of the shopping area, and parking in one of the garages is the best option. We had a party of four, and they weren't too busy when we arrived. We were seated outside with a view of the courtyard, This was perfect for people watching. Our server, Brooke, was very attentive and prompt in meeting our needs. The couple we were with enjoyed the mimosa flight, which came with a full bottle of champagne. I ordered the Smoked Tri-Tip Hash. It was full of flavor. I don't mind poached eggs, but if that's not your thing, be sure to ask for them cooked differently. The yolk, while tasty, gets everywhere! I also tried some of the pancakes, chef's kiss. They come as two large pancakes, so if that's your meal, you'll definitely be full. They could also be good for sharing. Everyone was satisfied with their meals. Some others in the party lightly added salt and pepper to their meals, but the Tri-Tip Hash was good for me. I often stay in the Manhattan Beach area when I'm in LA, and this restaurant has definitely been added to my list of go-to list.

stars — all for the insanely amazing service from Chase and the manager JR. They were attentive, gracious, and truly the saving grace of our visit. That said… we ordered our burgers medium twice and both times they came out well done — dry and barely edible. Super disappointing since we were excited to try them. The drinks? Came out sooooo slow I was tempted to hop behind the bar and make them myself. I absolutely love the Belmont Shore location and was thrilled to see it finally open here in Manhattan Beach by my house — but it’s clear they’re still ironing out the kinks. Once the kitchen dials in meat temps and the bar gets its timing right, I’m sure this will be a 5-star spot. Fingers crossed!

Tried Saint & Second for the first time today and loved it! The avocado toast was perfectly seasoned and super fresh, but the real standout was the potatoes — crispy, flavorful, and seriously addictive. Can’t wait to go back and try more from their menu!

We enjoyed this new upscale restaurant in the Manhattan Village. My burger was top notch and my wife really enjoyed her fish tacos (salmon) from the happy hour menu (5pm-6pm Monday-Friday). Really interesting cocktails and a huge drink menu!

So excited this opened ! I had dinner here last night with a friend and will definitely come back. The ambiance and decor is gorgeous; we sat on the outdoor patio. We ordered several dishes and left feeling full. The spicy tuna crispy rice was excellent. Often I find crispy rice to be too oily and overly fried but this was perfectly done and had plenty of protein atop too. Our other favorite dish was the pork gochujang lettuce wraps which I would also absolutely order again. The charcuterie and branzino were very good but not as special as the two mentioned above. Our least favorite dish was the Aguachile but it was by no means bad. The service was prompt and great especially for an opening. The ambiance is less corporate / stuffy conflated to Joey next door. The food is also better to be candid. Very glad to have this now in MB ! Martinis rocked too :)

Fish and chips was big with plenty to share to other people . The portions are generous . Hiwever the opposite is true with the drinks , the serving is small and the flavours aren't there yet . Service was good

The fish and chips are some of the best battered fish I have tasted in a long time. Good place for a casual date but with an upscale touch.

What an incredible disappointment. The restaurant is extremely well decorated and the atmosphere is welcoming. After that it all goes downhill. We ordered crabcakes for an appetizer; it was 90% filler with ZERO lump crab. Tasteless and not even edible; they could have have passed for a vegetarian " crabcake". For a main course we ordered branzino with mashed potatoes. Again, the dish was tasteless and disgusting. The fish was overcooked and dry and the mashed potatoes were brown with a funky flavor. Finally for dessert, we ordered a vanilla latte and an earl grey tea with no gin. They couldn't even get that right as the latte came out 10 minutes before the tea. The latte was decent but the tea tasted like it had some sort of cleaning solution in it. When the tea finally did arrive it had whipped cream spilling down the side of the cup and the handle without any dish or plate. There was no manager checking on how people's experience was and people close to us were annoyed at how slow and disconnected everything was. If I were offered a free meal to try S & S again, I wouldn't do it. To cap it off, we shared our dining experience on the way out the door and the host walked away. This place needs leadership and a new chef. Save your time and money and walk 50 feet to Joey or any number of other better, more established restaurants that appreciate your patronage. For the food and service I would have given it zero stars if that option was available.

The Baseline: For a sit down upper-scale restaurant is the quality of the food, existence of any unique offerings, quality of the service, and ambiance of the overall dining experience. December 2025: Food: The Smoked and Glazed Pork Chop is my new favorite. I paired it with the Kumquat Honey bourbon cocktail for the extra goodness. The Spanish Fried Calamari is also a great appetizer with a cool mix of chili and shishito peppers mixed in with the dish. Also the S'mores Desert bar is a fantastic ended to a meal here at Saint and Second. Service: Excellent service the night I went without empty water glasses and attentive wait staff. Top Notch! Ambiance: I have to make it back after the holiday because the decor and lighting is really nice at this location. Noise level is less than Joey's across the walk.

came here last night after dropping my grandma @ the airport. the food was very good but the service was questionable at best. i ordered a well done burger (i like crispy burger; who cares!) but GIRL! the chef cares he came out with the server to try & explain why i shouldn't order burgers well done, he didn't do that to anyone else. then when the bill came, we were overcharged for 4 separate dishes that we did not order. after charging our cards we asked for the itemized receipt & caught it. once the issue was corrected, there was still a side of bread that we hadn't ordered on our receipt, so make sure to check your receipt to see if it was correct. for this, the server was not very apologetic. despite these issues, the food was very good (my well done burger was delicious) & the oysters were fresh.

I cannot say enough good things about this second location for this restaurant. Executive summary: Service:5/5 Drink menu:5/5 Good for groups:5/5 Flavor:5/5 Quality of the food:5/5 Decor:5/5 Kid friendly: 5/5 Location: 5/5 Parking: 5/5 - free There are numerous TVs over the bar showcasing sports. The bar is a square configuration that is surrounded by the tables inside. Jose gave us 5-star service, very attentive and welcoming. Seating indoors and outdoors has a view of the foot traffic passing by. The hook for me is the Parker Rolls. It made a little different here because it is stuffed with goodness. If you are on the fence then have a small bite, this sells itself. The drink menu has depth here. At this second location it has kept the same upscale atmosphere and classy environment. The quality of the food and service are exceptional. There is also a private glass room if you have a business meeting. I'll be back 100%.

Just as good as the Belmont Shores location. Happy hour starts at 3pm with some delicious items such as the pork belly lettuce wraps and chicken sliders. I'd def get both again. The Argentine cab sauv is great as well. Staff is friendly, service was great, vibes are good.

Saint and Second but they are definitely taking the first place in my brunch rating Located in Manhattan Village, it's a convenient spot with plenty of parking and nearby stores for shopping or errands afterward. My friend and I visited on a Saturday for their weekend brunch and were seated immediately. The interior is stunning; modern and classy, with a vibe that reminded me of being on a luxurious yacht. We started with drinks: a campfire latte and fresh-squeezed orange juice. The campfire latte was outstanding! Rich, smoky, and slightly salty, which made it unique and memorable. For food, I ordered the Maine lobster roll with fries, and my friend had the chorizo and egg tacos. The food arrived quickly, and everything was excellent. The lobster roll was a standout: the roll was fluffy and buttery, and the lobster was tender and flavorful. My friend raved about her tacos, saying they were packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. One of the best parts of the experience was the atmosphere. We were able to sit and catch up for a long time without feeling rushed, which is rare and appreciated. The staff was attentive, friendly, and offered great suggestions throughout our visit. Overall, this was an exceptional brunch experience, and I'm already planning to return to try their dinner menu. Highly recommend Saint & Second for anyone looking for a delicious meal in a beautiful setting with excellent service.I will be back to try their dinner menu :)

We've been waiting a long time for this place to open. We've been to their other location a few times, so I was excited to have one just down the street of us. Inside looks very handsome and classic. Large bar stool area and lots of seating too. We ordered the Asian slaw salad with salmon and the burger. Kids had Mac n cheese and grilled cheese. Asian slaw salad with salmon was good. Felt really healthy eating it as it has a variety of veggies and their salmon was cooked perfectly with a crispy skin. Burger was also delicious and tasty with a side of skinny fries. I was impressed with the Mac n cheese too, really tasty and cheesy. Son loves his grilled cheese, large portion for kids. Cocktail drinks were also good too. I'd definitely come back for more

Ambiance: it's a trendy and classic New American restaurant, full bar service, stylish decorations with creative lighting and paintings, spacious dining room and comfortable sofa seats, they also have private room and good for large groups hangout Service: the server was friendly and attentive, refilled water adequately, and cleaned the table promptly as well Food & Drink: classic menu items with emphasis on seafood SPANISH FRIED CALAMARI - *** chorizo aiolf, shishito peppers, lemon, torn herbs, served cold and soggy, not crispy PAN-ROASTED BRANZINO - ***** parsnip purée, petite watercress, crispy parsnip, chimichurri, fresh fish, cooked perfectly for soft texture, tasty with sauce, highly recommend MadeWest Hazy IPA - **** citrus draft beer, easy to drink, recommend Price: small to medium portions depends on the dishes, decent quality, expect $50+ per persons

I went here for Thanksgiving because they had a special turkey menu for a good price. The place is brand new with a nice outdoor patio. Gio was helping us and he was extremely friendly and professional. The turkey dinner was great and had everything you'd want in a thanksgiving meal. We also shared the pork belly appetizer and caesar salad. Everything was tasty although I probably wouldn't get the pork belly appetizer again cause I'm not generally a fan of kimchi and pickles. The pumpkin pie was also delicious. Overall, the prices are in line with nearby restaurants, food was good, and the service and ambiance were top notch.

Nice, new place that recently opened up at Manhattan Village mall next to Joey DTLA. Great ambiance and lots of seating inside and outside. We had to wait 5-10 minutes for a table to be set up and overall the food here was pretty good. The best thing was the pancake - so BIG, fluffy and came with yummy toppings. Also tried the huevos rancheros and avocado toast that came with potatoes.

We had a terrible first-time experience for dinner at Saint & Second. The service was just bad from the start. We arrived promptly for our dinner reservation, but yet we still had to sit and wait for another 10 minutes even though there were obviously tables open. Took a long time for our server to come to us initially. And then the worst part... we waited for 1 entire hour to get any food! We're not even exaggerating, we ended up being so hangry and we couldn't even find our server to ask what the deal was (we think he was hiding from us). There was a table that sat down next to us AFTER we had already been seated for 20+ minutes and even THEY got their food before we had ANY! Finally when the food came out, we were served the mains first! So we finished the lobster risotto, fish and chips (I didn't like it), and steak frites first, and then our caesar salad and parker house rolls arrived! It was very off having this order reversed. And as an "apology" they said they gave us 1 extra roll making it 4 rolls instead of 3, so each of the 4 of us would get a roll. Yes, the bread was good, but we ended the night with it which was just odd. And this was the only form of apology we received from the night after this terrible experience! Overall: would not recommend, would not return.

Food: 5/5 Delicious dishes, ordered a handful of small appetizers during HH. Burgers, oysters and drinks were all perfect. Service: 3/5 Sluggish, staff appeared a little distracted, bit of a letdown given we were sitting at the bar. Ambiance: 4/5 Great decor, seating was plenty, very clean setup.

I finally went to check it out. Totally disappointed. Don't waste your time or money. My chicken smelled. The drink was good. The service was ok. A bit slow. Ambiance was ok too. The calamari needed a bit more cooking. The bread was delicious. I'm not coming back! I don't know why the service was a bit slow. Seemed that they had good amount of staff and it wasn't too busy.

Making a reservation online was quick and easy. They also had plenty of seating inside and out, so they may be able to accommodate walk-in also. The restaurant is located in the center of the shopping area, and parking in one of the garages is the best option. We had a party of four, and they weren't too busy when we arrived. We were seated outside with a view of the courtyard, This was perfect for people watching. Our server, Brooke, was very attentive and prompt in meeting our needs. The couple we were with enjoyed the mimosa flight, which came with a full bottle of champagne. I ordered the Smoked Tri-Tip Hash. It was full of flavor. I don't mind poached eggs, but if that's not your thing, be sure to ask for them cooked differently. The yolk, while tasty, gets everywhere! I also tried some of the pancakes, chef's kiss. They come as two large pancakes, so if that's your meal, you'll definitely be full. They could also be good for sharing. Everyone was satisfied with their meals. Some others in the party lightly added salt and pepper to their meals, but the Tri-Tip Hash was good for me. I often stay in the Manhattan Beach area when I'm in LA, and this restaurant has definitely been added to my list of go-to list.

Love the mahogany wood decor as if dinning in a hip library. We decided to enjoy the beautiful bar for our Saturday brunch. The bar service was slow at first, after a few orders, we got more attention. *Butternut squash hummus, AMUST! Perfect balance of sweet and savory with grilled artichoke pieces. *Caesar salad, wish it was slightly chilled more *Cheddar Biscuit, it's like a croissant and a biscuit had a baby and that's the best way to describe this moist mouth watering house made white cheddar biscuit with seasonal jam. So delicious

Wow what a crew they have in place here! My friend made the reservation yesterday, and boy was it needed! You better not think of coming here without a reservation, or be prepared to wait...and wait. We certainly did the first time around a few weeks ago! Janet was our server and achieved CSA or Customer service All-Star status. From the outset, she made a fresh batch of coffee, and took our order with a pleasant demeanor and energy. Insider tip: If there are only two in your party, ask for table 301. Let's call it.....Rob G My guest went with the traditional breakfast along with eggs scrambled well, bacon, and opted for a biscuit as opposed to sliced bread. I went with the chicken sandwich that comes with the side salad. My piece of chicken could have been bigger as I'm a bigger guy, but other than that all was perfect. Honorable mention goes out to the staff as a whole, particularly those ladies who were tasked with keeping things organized and running as a well-oiled machine up front. Managing the influx of those who had reservations with those who didn't, as well as walk-ins, is not as easy as some may think. Kudos to them as well

Amazing food, service and Ambience. Priscilla was an awesome server for our Christmas party dinner. Only downside was that it seemed like the Manager didn't have a good attitude towards our group. We felt they wanted us out of there. We were frowned upon. We shall not return. Thank you!

Note: This is for their Happy Hour only. We went on a Friday around 5pm. We got a good seat at their comfy bar facing a wall of impressive spirits. From 3 to 6 daily you can get a solid cocktail and top notch small bites. We had some very good salmon tacos and first rate chicken sliders- not greasy, quality chicken, hefty portion. I had an excellent Old Fashioned and tried a decent Cab. Service was friendly and attentive. A very classy joint that we'll be coming back to often.

So happy that I no longer have to drive all the way down to Long Beach to dine at Saint & Second. The mushroom mac & cheese is sooo good. Everyone should start adding mushroom to mac & cheese- the umami from the mushroom really complements this old standby. Don't pass on the spicy tuna on rice. Yeah, yeah, everyplace sells it...but, S&S has an excellent version featuring a generous serving of tuna. French onion soup is a fave, too. For lunch mains, I can recommend the lamb pastrami reuben and the burger. I've also added crispy prosciutto to the beet salad to make it a meal- very good. Full bar with elevated cocktails. Order a NEFT Vodka Bloody if you're in for weekend brunch. Add NEFT to your favorite vodka cocktail at dinner. Super-clean, smooth, two-ingredient rye vodka from Austria. Ample free parking, upscale interior, relaxed vibe, nice staff that makes one feel appreciated. I love this place. Bon Appétit!

The service here is amazing and attentive. The food is delicious and inspired. The ambiance is sophisticated but welcoming.

Happy Hour review/ arrived at 4:30 and got a table outside on the patio. The patio lounge area was very spacious and started to get crowded at 5. Server Oscar was great/ super attentive! Ordered salmon tacos - good, but not a lot of salmon. Pork belly wraps and hummus and pita were delicious. Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu.

Place was very busy but it was Friday night. We had a reservation and were seated immediately. Ordered the mezze appetizer which was grilled pita bread with labneh,baba ganoush and Muhammar. It was delicious and we ordered extra pita since the dip portions were so generous. I had the pork chop which was large but I didn't like the glaze. Instead of grits I substituted fries and they've were ok. My friend ordered the fish and chips and they were two large fish pieces. No malt vinegar was offered which I found odd just tartar sauce. Our waitress was very attentive. Not sure if I will return. Food is average except for our appetizer.

In a very lively plaza of Manhattan Beach. This establishment is fairly new, about a month and half month old. The decor is modern contemporary. The lighting is slightly bright than their neighbor, JOEYS. Which i prefer in order to see my food. They have mostly indoor seatings and limited outdoor seatings as well. The menu offers variety of American style, like an upgraded bar food if that is your preference. The food, the oysters were fresh and sweet. The fish and chips were fried to a golden crisp but not overly fried. The drinks were very decent. All the orders were served within timely manner. The price could be from $$ to $$$ which depends on your appetite. The service was attentive. The waiter would check in every so often. Overall, great experience. 4.7 out of 5.

Great for celebrations or just a great meal. Brunch weekend menu too!

This place was great! Great ambiance, service, and food. I had a reservation for brunch here with a friend on a Saturday afternoon. Free parking decks, which seem to be rare these days, made parking a breeze. The waiter made sure to check in on us and check with the kitchen for modifications my friend wanted to her meal. I ordered the French onion soup and the lobster rolls with a side salad. Both were delicious and together, made for a great filling meal. Can't wait to come back here and try more items on the menu!

French onion soup was to die for!!! The service was really sweet and quick. We sat outside and it was so comfy and cozy and I love that they have heaters outside. I did get a burger as well, and it was a bit salty. I just really enjoyed the French onion soup I would go back just for that haha

It was our first time at Saint & Second, and unfortunately our last. The ambience of the restaurant was nice, but we were placed in a small private area next to another table. The two ladies next to us were very loud, so we were forced to listen to their conversation the whole dinner and the smokey pork chop that one of the ladies ordered had a firewood smoke coming off it, which caused my son to have an allergic reaction. Believe it or not I'm actually not complaining about that. My disappointment was more centered around the food and the service. I asked our waitress, Mary what was really good on the menu and she suggested the salmon. I know we all have different taste, so with that being said Mary and I do not have agreeable taste. The salmon was very dry and had no seasonings. It came with oily bok choy, pink grapefruit, and black rice. The only thing with some flavor was the black rice and grapefruit. The price was $38. She offered to get me something else but honestly I had lost my appetite and just wanted to leave. Mary seemed to be stretched then and I ended up asking other staff members for help when we needed it. She was accessible though for the two ladies sitting next to us. None of us in my party were impressed with our food, so unfortunately we won't return, but other people have raved about it. Don't let my experience steer you wrong.

We had a great time at the new restaurant in Manhattan village Really nice decor and great service, we had some delicious appetizers and drinks totally recommend this new place

My girlfriend and I came and sat at the bar for some drinks before going to Naples for Christmas lights, we started chatting with the manager Dave, super cool guy... told us about some seasonal items so we tried them and they were all great, hummus, bread, was just going to be a quick drink but the atmosphere was really cool so we ended up staying for a meal, def will be back!

Hubby ordered the steak frites. I ordered the pork chop!! It was Delicious. Great service and drinks. Will definitely be back either here or in Belmont shore. Free parking too!! Trust

First time and we ate at the bar. Love how welcoming the restaurant is and the decor. Our bartender was amazing! The drinks are really good too. Had the calamari and the 100 layer lasagne...which she was right, it's a big amount, but so delicious! I also saw someone order the fish and chips and that's a meal for two. Will definitely be back!

My first visit was last Friday evening with a guest to meet for drinks. We chose to sit at the bar, which seemed lovely and busy. Our server provided us with sufficient time to review the menus and took our drink orders; Autumn Ember (cinnamon-topped bourbon and bitters) and Big Guns (spin on a Manhattan). Each were delightfully smooth, flavorful, and paired nicely with our respective food orders. The S&S burger was served first. It had a great amount of toppings, but was medium well instead of medium rare as ordered. The calamari were well-seasoned and plenty enough to share. The Caesar salad felt satisfying with added chicken as the protein, but in some areas the dressing was more than needed. The ambiance was subdued, even with a birthday celebration indoors. Despite the rain, a large party congregated on the patio. I'd return to try more items for dinner, arriving earlier to avoid the last call for food.

Had higher expectations than they delivered. Service was fine, but the food was either too salty or just ok. We ordered a variety of items including salad, fish&chips, and steak frite. Duck fat fries was the biggest disappointment Nothing was amazing. The outdoor patio is clean and allows dogs but we probably will try another place before coming back, especially at this price point.

Disappointing. Waited HOUR AND HALF for food. We were eager to try this new spot. Started good. Ordered and our drinks/salad came out along w an appetizer but then... we waited for AN HOUR AND A HALF and no food. Our server was also MIA. Worst part is that it wasn't even busy. You might think well maybe how they dressed. Nope, suited. Restaurant looks beautiful! But.... with this poor attention... they will not keep many clients. As a biz owner and previous server I know it can get busy or if an establishment is new but wow this was disappointing... I'd suggest management to hire secret shoppers and if the staff/kitchen are aware of this I am positive it won't be such a poor experience for another guest.

finally!!! saint & second has finally opened their doors at the manhattan village, right next to joeys... i made rez via opentable for patio for HH. FYI - if you are dining for HH, it is only at the bar, which is like 5-6 stools and if its pairs seating, there is just an awkward solo seat in btw its a beautiful space. beautifully done! the patio tho, felt a bit cramp.. service was good, our waiter kept coming around to make sure we had everything we needed the HH offerings were great ordered: CRISPY CHICKEN SLIDERS (2) peanut chili crunch, Korean packies, purple cabbage slaw, , kimchi comeback sauce, parker house rolls MEATBALL SLIDERS (2) Beef and pork meatballs, San Marzano tomato sauce, black pepper ricotta, parker house rolls PORK BELLY LETTUCE CUPS pickled daikon, kinchi, Korean pickles, gochujang glaze BLACKENED SALMON TACOS (2) charred pineapple pico de gallo, avocado, red cabbage, housemade tortillas, tomatillo salsa out of the 4 plates, my favorite were the salmon tacos! i love house-made tortillas, they just taste so much better. the chicken sliders, the batter on the chicken or the sauce was wayyyyy to salty. all the plates were decent portions. worth the price. i have rez for brunch in a few weeks, looking forward to that menu. parking: no issues with parking. parking structure and lots avail

Food was amazing! I forgot to take any pictures but I'm sure others have posted and taste will not disappoint the visual. I loved the pork belly appetizer best, but I'd say everything we tried was great. The service was very attentive, but not overly so; didn't interrupt the conversations. The vibe is very clean with an open layout so it feels comfortable and spacious. Would recommend for a small dinner for 2 or a big group.

The food was delicious, the drinks were well presented and tasty as well. The dining room is really nice and great for large parties or dates. The service was excellent.

I'm giving three stars because our waiter was nice and the drinks were good I ordered the lasagna Not good! The crab cakes taste like boxed crab cakes you stick In the oven my cousin ordered the steak and frites the steak was unseasoned bland and hard only thing good was the Caesar salad the French fries and the Saint Rita drink IF I go back I might try the fish and chips....

Adventure is a fact of my life. Today my wife and I went to Macy's for a gift for my daughter and it went late. We were hungry and it was late, we tried to get in one restaurant and they said they had a 45 minute wait so, we left. Then we turned south and there was... the Saint &Second beautiful restaurant. We went in and first thing we said... we don't have a reservation... both ladies in the reception looked at us and they said, let us see if we can get you a seat at the bar... and there we went... immediately Grace our gracious bar attendant brought us a pair of Martinis my wife had a Cosmos and I did my regular dry vodka Martini... but then... the menu!! First Sone Fruit and Burrata, a delicious combination of suit flavor with delicious cheese and vegetables!! Then something totally unexpected a corn Cavatelli pasta sweet corn, truffle pate black pepper and ricotta... a fusion of delicate flavors that travel that magic route from your tongue to your brain... Thanks Grace, you did the experience worth it... if you are around try it...

Made a reservation online, walked in and was seated right away. There are beautiful pictures of the beach on the walls and the ambience of the restaurant has a good feeling. We started with Diet Coke and for lunch we ordered the chicken sandwich. We asked the waiter if we could get salad for a side and it came through. We had a really good waiter when the chicken sandwich arrive to our table and I took the first bite. It was filled with flavor. Very delicious. The salad on the side was also very tasty. My overall experience at saint and second Manhattan Beach was perfect. I recommend this location.

I am so happy they finally opened this spot! Joey has been our only late night food option in that area and the food is much better at this establishment. I can't wait to return and try more menu options. I tried the fried fish which had a great light batter. The appetizer with the hummus was wonderful as well. I also should mention that this place has an amazing bar which wraps inside and outside of the restaurant with an amazing whiskey selection.

Tried Saint & Second for the first time today and loved it! The avocado toast was perfectly seasoned and super fresh, but the real standout was the potatoes -- crispy, flavorful, and seriously addictive. Can't wait to go back and try more from their menu!

Went there for my wife's birthday. Great experience. First of all, ask to have CARLOS as your waiter. The best ! Food was great ... Branzino fish was perfect... and the pork chop was top notch. We'll go back for sure !

Enjoy the brunch food and mimosas! Had the Eggs Benedict with a great biscuit instead of normal english muffins, so tasty!

What a wonderful experience, Jose is wonderful server! Knowledgeable, friendly and so attentive. The smoked pork chop is amazing! the presentation the flavor and the value, Top tier! will definitely be back. Jose informed us of the late night happy hour and weekend brunch! Mimosa Flights.... say less! can't wait to dine again. Skip Joey come to Saint&Second!

Terrible from start to finish. Food was bland and not worth the price. We sat at the empty bar forever with one bartender and several barbacks who totally ignored us -- not a single "hey, I'll be with you in a minute." The alcohol selection was limited and the staff didn't even bother to make drinks while the bar stayed empty. To top it off, our mains arrived before our appetizers and before anyone brought our drinks. Nobody acknowledged it or apologized. Complete lack of care. Don't waste your money or your time -- go to Joey's or, even better, Nick's.

So excited this opened ! I had dinner here last night with a friend and will definitely come back. The ambiance and decor is gorgeous; we sat on the outdoor patio. We ordered several dishes and left feeling full. The spicy tuna crispy rice was excellent. Often I find crispy rice to be too oily and overly fried but this was perfectly done and had plenty of protein atop too. Our other favorite dish was the pork gochujang lettuce wraps which I would also absolutely order again. The charcuterie and branzino were very good but not as special as the two mentioned above. Our least favorite dish was the Aguachile but it was by no means bad. The service was prompt and great especially for an opening. The ambiance is less corporate / stuffy conflated to Joey next door. The food is also better to be candid. Very glad to have this now in MB ! Martinis rocked too :)

Their drinks are amazing!! We tried the Espresso Martini and Saint Rita , and for food the Stonefruit with Burrata. Everything is so delicious. Shannon and Janise were great!!

Went for brunch the food and drinks were delicious. The service was good as well. I would have preferred my meal a little more hot out the kitchen.

We had an absolutely wonderful dining experience, thanks in large part to our amazing server, Marcus. From start to finish, he was friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. Every recommendation he made was spot-on--from the Matchi cocktail to the beef tartare, corn cavatelli, and perfectly cooked filet mignon. We finished off with the peach cobbler dessert, which was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. Marcus truly elevated our evening with his excellent service and warm personality. Thank you, Marcus, for making our date night so memorable especially away from our kids haha we'll definitely be back again soon!
