- RKRandKvipDallas - Fort Worth •16 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoOur wait staff were attentive and polished. The whipped ricotta and honey was a terrific starter, the iceberg wedge was bountiful and perfect, and the filet was cooked and seasoned to perfection. The mac and cheese was a keeper. The asparagus was fresh and cooked well but not very flavorful. All in all, it was a great meal. My only suggestion is the music was so loud it was difficult to hear the waitstaff and the type of music was not commensurate with the atmosphere of a high end restaurant experience. Instead of loud rock and roll maybe consider more soothing rock (like Jose Gonzales) which in our opinion would have capped a great meal. We will definitely go back again if they can find the right balance of energy and music.More infoThe Saint -Dallas$$$$• Steakhouse• Downtown•4.4
