The Saint is a Saint Helena gem, with amazing boutique wines from small producers not widely found on wine lists, and fantastic food from Market next door, another Saint Helena gem. Stephanie at the bar was warm and attentive, and fun to chat with. The lounge vibe makes The Saint a great place to just hang out, especially on a slow night; you won't be hurried out the door and can usually meet a few other locals stopping in for an after work cocktail or fine glass of wine.
