    We were in town visiting and wanted to celebrate mine and my mother’s birthdays. Saint-Germain exceeded our expectations. Wonderful food, service ambiance and over all experience. If we find ourselves in NOLA again we’ll be coming back.

    Best restaurant in New Orleans, maybe in the entire country. Certainly the best I've ever been to. Y'all deserve a feature on Chef's Table or at least some big national write-up, but selfishly I'm glad everyone else hasn't found it so I can get reservations easily. Have told everyone I know to check Saint-Germain out. Chef Trey & Drew, y'all are doing something amazing here.

    I have been twice now and this place blew me away both times. The five course meal with the perfectly matched natural wines can’t be beat. I can easily say this is currently the best restaurant in New Orleans. It’s hard to get a reservation but if you do, be prepared to be amazed. The food and the staff make this place excellent.

    Amazing and inventive fare in a remodeled home. Small bar and dining room, with dinner service limited to a few nights a week. Wine pairings with the meal were unusual and accented the perfectly prepared and presented pre fixe menu. I hate to recommend this spot, as I would like to keep it for myself!!

    It was a wonderful, lovely meal. The menu was thoughtfully conceived and each course was dynamic and so flavorful. We enjoyed their use of local ingredients. Their Poussin in the Hay was one of the most well prepared chicken dishes ever!

    The food was very good but the format of a tasting menu results in a very expensive experience. It’s location gives it a hipster vibe which doesn’t work with the pricing which is on a par with say Brennan’s. Also the A/C is virtually nonexistent, a challenge for a New Orleans August evening.

    These guys hit it out of the park. From the get go, our introductory cocktails were expert and delicious as we walked over to our table. Cute lil room playing disco and other choice tunes. Melanie our waitress was friendly attentive and a pleasure. The food itself was surprising at each turn, well thought out and made with so much love. I could not remember every little detail for every ingredient but the guys went above and beyond and over delivered in every aspect. Even the give-away at the end some sort of orange flavored salt bag that I have been using on my own eggs at home is superb. On my way out I made a reservation for the following month. We ended up paying about 150/ person for a five course meal, lots of drinks, and tip and it was well worth it. Can't wait to go back. You could get away with a more modest meal if you had the three course and just a drink or two, but I would go all out here, because the crew knows how to execute. Might be my new favorite restaurant in New Orleans. So excited to share meals with other people here and see what creative things they do. Loved it.

    This is our new favorite restaurant in NOLA. It's hip and experimental and everyone who works there is personable. It's just tiny so it's hard to get a table but you can cozy up to the bar at any time.

    We really enjoyed the concept and the chef does amazing things with fresh ingredients. We didn’t realize that It was the monthly vegetarian dinner, and would have preferred the regular menu. It was also warmer than we realized it would be, although there was a fan. We really did enjoy the 5-course pairing and would go again in cooler weather, but would ask more questions about the type of menu that night.

    We dine out almost every, if not every weekend and I have not had a meal of this caliber in a long time. We were lucky enough to get a reservation and had an incredible experience from start to finish. Each dish is uniquely crafted and the meal as a whole flows from one course to the next. 100% worth the money for all 5 courses with the wine pairings. Delicious food, lovely ambience. We will definitely be back.

    Wow. Yup, it's that good. Probably the best meal we have had, in New Orleans, or anywhere. We loved the concept of a fixed menu, the well-paced serving, the servers, and of course, the food. Also Chef Trey coming to the table to talk (and not talk down to) about the food is a delight in and of itself. The flavors were something we've never really tasted before. Glorious. We will be back. Thank Saint-Germain for a lovely evening.

    Amazing food and presentation for the tasting menu. Third week of the month is the vegetarian menu, which was fantastic when we went. The staff, chef and owners were all super-charming as well. Every dish was a surprise and most (if not all) featured ingredients fresh from their garden. I wish I could eat like this every night.

    Had a wonderful meal at Saint Germain. They have a small private dining room where they serve a 3 or 5 course prix fixe menu with the option to pair with wine. I went during Vegetarian week which happens during the 3rd week of the month and it was definitely worth the wait. The food was extremely creative but matched in flavor as well. They make their own bread, butter and oils and grow herbs and veggies. The service was great and personable and the servers were very knowledgeable . I hope to return soon. Thanks. Michele

    One of the finest restaurant experiences I’ve had inside of the US. I’ve been in the restaurant business for 30 years, and this team absolutely blew us away with not only great cuisine and pairings- but the hospitality, oh my- unparalleled! Great job guys! I have a feeling in the very near future it will be nearly impossible to get a reservation here. Next time I’m in NoLa, this will be a definite return. Merci pour le repas!
