A word from Saint Ann Restaurant and Bar
Designed by LA-based Shimoda Design Group and Harwood Design Team, Saint Ann Restaurant & Bar is the newest restaurant concept and has the largest garden patio in Dallas. Located next to Saint Ann Court, the historic St. Ann’s School was preserved and converted by Harwood International into a… restaurant and bar surrounded by gardens and art. It is open for lunch, dinner, Sunday brunch, and drinks.

The original structure was built in 1927 as Dallas' first school for Hispanic children. In addition to the original structure, Harwood International has preserved the mural of "Our Lady of Guadalupe" and serves as the focal point in the gardens. The first level of the two-story red brick building is Saint Ann Restaurant & Bar and the second level will house The Ann and Gabriel Barbier-Mueller Museum: The Samurai Collection.



Please note that reservations cannot be made for the patio. Patio is first come, first serve. Continued

Diner Reviews
  • "We had originally put down for 6 people but it turned out to be about 15 and they accomodated that number. The waitress was very attentive and great. Will definately go back and have more parties there."

  • "We were looking for something different and did we find it! We loved the atmosphere, food, and diversity of the people. The DJ was good. Saint Ann is definitely a repeater."

  • "I've enjoyed visiting Saint Ann's restaurant on beautiful spring, summer and fall evenings and especially prior to Mavericks games. It wasn't until this visit when my date and I both wanted to substitute a side dish that we were told the chef never allows that. We offered to pay an extra charge and were told it can't be done. I can't think of the last time I was at a quality restaurant in Dallas, NYC, Chicago, Denver, Phoenix or any where that the chef was so adamant about switching a simple side dish. One very fast way to spoil a nice dinner is to make that declaration and serve a meal that the patron isn't happy with for little reason. I'm happy there are so many choices to dine in Dallas."

  • "Saint Ann has always provided attentive service and attention and pride in their food. Maybe there have been recent changes, because unfortunately we found the service lacking and the food mediocre at best. This is a restaurant that those of us that live in Uptown, enjoy having and frequent often. We definitely will not abandon you, so please don't abandon us. Pep talk, finished!"

  • "This was my fourth visit to this restaurant and the food was great as usual. I had the red snapper which was cooked perfectly rested on a bed of flavorsome cous cous. The service was very quick although our waiter could have been friendlier. Portion sizes for me were just right...enough to leave me feeling satisfied but not too full."

  • "My husband and I made reservations to Saint Ann to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We arrived on time, and the hostess tried to seat us outside. Though on nice summer evenings I am sure that is the best place to dine, we were wanting something a little more up-scale. We asked if we could sit in the dining room, and she said we could chose whatever two-top table we wanted. This was a bit annoying because I hate small tables. But I didn't say anything because I assumed it was a typical, busy Saturday night. However a few minutes later that same hostess sat a party of two at the four-top table right beside us. Our server was personable and helpful. The food was good. The wine and dessert were my favorite."

  • "Wonderful place to spend Valentines with my wife. Service was fantastic. I wish we had arrived earlier to enjoy the museum display upstairs (it closed at 6 pm)."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "Overall this restaurant is not on my list of places that I want to return to. Nothing was really wrong at dinner, it just didn't leave you with a memorable experience. The service was fine, the food tasted good but I would say the level of service was lacking. I ordered the chicken and asked if the skin could be removed in the kitchen. I was informed this could not be done, which was disappointing because removing the skin is not a hard thing to do. Our side dish came out late and my date's pork chop was so over cooked he couldn't cut it with a knife. However the other people at our table enjoyed their food. One other thing is that inside the actual restaurant the ambience is nice, however we were seated in the covered patio area."

  • "Great friendly service! The valentines menu was just delicious!"
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "This place seems to have some serious possibilities for the warm weather months with an amazing patio. However, in February, the food isn't enough to carry this to greatness. We ordered three things: chicken poppers, the cheese plate and the pork chop. Chicken poppers lacked interest, but was basic. The pork chop was awful. It was super chewy and tough (a properly cooked pork chop from Kroger is better than the quality we got here). But, the cheese plate was colossal and my favorite item of the night. Weather has been bad in DFW and so this could explain the low key atmosphere on this evening, but I see serious potential once the weather warms around here and I do intend to revisit for appetizers and more beverages."
    Dined on 2/8/2014
  • "PorK Chop was quite tough,not particularly tasty, and not unexpensive. Sauce was nice though. Duck was served too rare! Chicken Sizzler appetizer was very good as well as truffle fry's although you couldn't taste the truffle oil very well."
    Dined on 2/8/2014
  • "This place is simply amazing! The food is superior, the service is exceptional and the environment is outstanding. Definitely a great hotspot. I have visited multiple times now and it is my current favorite restaurant. Recommend to everyone! Complimentary valet parking and a private samurai museum upstairs also!"

  • "Hostesses were okay. Restaurant was lovely and has nice patio but too cold the night we were there. Place is a little hard to find if you have not been there before and parking lot is across the street but they did have complimentary valet and the guys were very nice and friendly. Waiter was not attentive at all and we had to ask about specials and dessert, he had to read the one special from his notes, didn't bring dessert menu, and barely mentioned a few desserts without trying to sell them or describe them. Didn't see much of him the entire night. Someone else refilled water frequently and brought the food and wine to the table. Food was outstanding and temperatures were hot. Tables for 4 were tiny & quite close to the other diners."
    Dined on 2/7/2014
  • "We were very impressed with the food, the service, the ambiance, et al. We were further impressed by the magnificent gallery upstairs containing a vast Samurai collection that brought the period to life. It was amazing. The Restaurant, paired with the collection, was a wonderful experience. I would recommend it highly to anyone. Now for the minus 1. The parking lot valet had no protection from the cold and rain. Otherwise, this Restaurant is tops all the way."

  • "Saint Ann is a great spot for drinks and a hang out spot. However, their food is below average."

  • "Great ambiance and great appetizers. Short rib sandwich was delicious. Not to crazy about mac&cheese"

  • "Took my wife out for her birthday dinner along with another couple. Made the reservation on Open Table same day, so earliest opening was 8:45PM. Great open-air location. It is a pretty energetic place on a Saturday night, but that was perfect for us. We were having a great time, and I tend to get exponentially louder as the good times roll. No problem. The food was great. Excellent bar. Highly recommended as the focal point for a fun night on the town whether as a couple or with a group."
    Dined on 1/18/2014
  • "From the moment I walked in, I knew this was a find. The atmosphere was inviting. The crowd was a mixture of casual and nicely dressed in their 30's and 40's. Food was presented artistically and was very good. Service was great. Will definitely go again."
    Dined on 1/18/2014
  • "Dined Friday night to discuss upcoming trip with another couple. Red Snapper and steak selections excellent. Chicken jalapeño poppers were great and others liked their salads. Maitre d' especially attentive and helpful. Crowd is young, largely sub-30 (we're not!) and lively but well-behaved. Noise level satisfactory. Will return."
    Dined on 1/10/2014
  • "Took my wife for a surprise dinner. They were out of the steak i wanted so i got the tbone. The steak was mostly fat and when brought to the waiters attention he said "that happends" and walked away. The place was very romantic and not loud. Would go again but maybe during the day and with a waiter with a better attitude. The food was overpriced for what we got. Just my two cents."
    Dined on 12/23/2013
  • "Should have been a great experience but unfortunately the noise level prohibits making it so. Once the weather warms up, eating outdoors should eliminate the problem. Will return in the spring. Valet service was outstanding!"

  • "Unique restaurant with tons of ambience. Great bar area, nice indoor dining, and an outside area that can't be duplicated."
    Dined on 12/4/2013
  • "The positive reviews I had checked out were spot on. My book club group was so happy I chose Saint Ann's. I would return in a heartbeat. The salmon that 2 of us chose was cooked perfectly. Loved the beet salad, too. If there was a down side, I was too full to order dessert!!! Our reservation was for 5:30 so the noise level was nonexistent. By the time we left, we had to shout across the table. We were on the patio so that might have been the reason, though that would not keep me from coming back."
    Dined on 12/4/2013
  • "First visit to Saint Ann! Took 2 girlfriends from Austin and we all loved the ambiance, food and courtesy of staff. We will definately be back to experience that gorgeous patio in the spring. Very NICE!"
    Dined on 11/22/2013
  • "Host was moderately welcoming and my waiter was not as attentive and responsive as he should have been. But the atmosphere is very nice and I enjoyed my first visit to this restaurant otherwise. I'd heard about it and its appealing patio. Though I chose to dine inside because it was rather breezy that day, since the restaurant has open walls to the patio the effect was pleasingly similar. Brunch was good. Eggs benedict were a bit runnier than I like but I'm sure the chef would have adjusted if I had asked. Plan to return soon."

  • "It was OK --- I went for a business dinner and it was too loud to hold conversations. It appeared to be a party place trying to be a fine dining establishment. The food was yummy, though."
    Dined on 11/6/2013
  • "We went here for dinner before a concert. We were seated immediately which hasn't happened in the past (it was a Monday). Food was great but service is always slow and sometimes hard to find your wait staff. Don't go if you're in a hurry! We had time to eat and sit back and enjoy so much better than other times we have been there and it's packed."
    Dined on 11/11/2013
  • "We went for lunch. We ordered the $14 burger cooked medium. It came back cooked well and was one of the blandest, most uninspired burger I have ever had. The sweet potato fries were good, but didn't stay warm very long in the mesh basket they were served in. The food was unremarkable."
    Dined on 11/11/2013
  • "The patio at Saint Ann is gorgeous, and with heaters it is comfortable even in winter! We had the mussels, roasted chicken, and mac and cheese, and everything was perfect."

  • "We came to St. Ann's on the recommendation from a friend who is concierge at the Hyatt for my Neice's birthday. I was totally surprise...great location...great food and lovely surroundings. We had a ton of fun. Can't wait to go back."

  • "What a wonderful brunch experience! The waiters for were so attentive. The mimosas were fantastic and absolutely loved the breakfast flatbread and the strawberry shortcake french toast. And all for such a reasonable price!"
    Dined on 11/3/2013
  • "The breakfast flatbread w/the two fried eggs on top made my brunch a 10! Loved the patio too."
    Dined on 11/3/2013
  • "Food = fantastic. Service = ? On this latest evening we sat on the patio for nearly 20 minutes before flagging down a bus boy to ask if we had a waiter. It never got much better. I hate to diss a place that has such great food but our waiter was virtually non-existent. Never brought the salt and pepper we asked for, and ever came back to offer a second round of drinks until the meal was being cleared. Then overcharged $50 each or $100 total for the meal on our cc slips. Good thing we were good enough friends at the table to speak up and question it. When asked to bring the detail back, the server merely came back with an adjusted amount for us to WRITE in on the charge slip and a mild apology."

  • "We thought the food was fantastic- everything we ordered was great... especially the mussles. The atmosphere was great! Wonderful outdoor space, great location- really a fun place to go out for dinner. The service however was aweful! We waited 15 min before our waitress came and asked us what we wanted to drink. She didn't clear our appitizer plates even though they were empty when she came to take our entree orders. Overall, she didn't seem to care about our experience dinning there. When you pay a good penny to go out and eat, you expect that the service fits the amount of pennies you pay. I have gotten better service at Applebees, which is not saying much."
    Dined on 11/2/2013
  • "Was a really nice spot. We were promptly seated and greeted by our waiter. The wait was kind of long to get our food considering there were not that many people there at the time. Overall, good experience and would dine there again."
    Dined on 10/20/2013
  • "I'm not sure when I came to St Ann's for the first time, but it is always my go to place when my friends are looking for a new spot. The outside dining is absolutely beautiful - the menu stellar - and the service outstanding. Love St Ann's!"
