The Saint is a hidden gem steakhouse blending Italian flair with a speakeasy vibe, serving up delicious dishes like tableside Tomahawk and live jazz.
"This steakhouse on Gaston Ave. has added a jazz brunch to its Sunday offerings, along with a load of brunch dishes. Order steak and eggs and the blood orange mimosa made with blood orange IPA and prosecco. Also highly recommended is the three bacon plate to share, which features crispy bacon cuts of three different types of meat. The restaurant offers free valet in its lot outside — hard to beat that price and convenience in Deep Ellum." - Courtney E. Smith
"At this Deep Ellum steakhouse, happy hour runs Tuesday through Sunday from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. Deals include $1.50 oysters, $10 caviar potatoes, $10 Tito’s martinis and all the Saint’s signature cocktails, plus various deals on wine by the glass and bottle at the bar. This is a great people-watching spot and a place to get away from the world — The black walls and dim lighting make it easy to lose track of space and time. There are no windows outside, and it’s always the perfect temperature." - Courtney E. Smith
"This restaurant went from not on Dallas’s radar at all to the spot where diners love to regularly go to for oyster happy hour (daily from 5 to 6 p.m. with $1.50 Murder Point oysters and $10 cocktails). It’s a fun hang. It’s also a solid menu — order the gorgonzola tortellini, confit duck leg piccata, or the Texas redfish, or go for any of the numerous steaks. Make sure to take a minute to walk around and enjoy the art — the portraits enhanced with graffiti and photos of famous folk that are drawn over are a trip." - Courtney E. Smith
"A cozy spot for comfort food like gnocchi bolognese with a perfect sauce of meaty heartiness and tomato, topped with a creamy dollop of ricotta." - Courtney E. Smith
