Profile

At Saul, former Le Bernardin cook Saul Bolton’s small, dynamic menu changes seasonally, but impeccable service and the quality of the ingredients—such as Niman Ranch pork or hand-harvested sea scallops—remains consistent. All the dishes here are superlative, including the flavorful pan-roasted Scottish salmon. Tender medallions of lamb resting on garlic toast will make you long for more, but the warm chocolate cake or Meyer lemon soufflé cake is just the solution. — Sandra Nygaard

i came here last night and what a great dining experience! the restaurant is small and has a very nice, romantic atmosphere. our waiter was friendly, helpful and attentive. the food was meticulously prepared and delicious! our favorite dish was the foie gras starter, but really everything was amazing. the baked alaska is a must for dessert. we cleaned our plates. we will definitely be coming back to try the tasting menu! i would highly recommend this for any special occasion.

Very Special

Just went to Saul for my birthday and was pleased with the whole experience. The staff was really nice and attentive and they did not rush us at all, in fact they made a point to let us know we could linger and take as long as we wanted. Our waiter seemed very knowledgable, friendly and not pretentious. The wine list was really well chosen especially the whites. I was a little disappointed in the red list because it was New World heavy. Last but not least the food was amazing. The chef used fresh seasonal ingredients, squeezed all the flavor out of each ingredient and used unique flavor profiles. The seating arrangement and decor was my only complaint. There were few good tables even though they had ample room to do a lot with. Our seating was awkward to the point of being uncomfortable. The artwork was not pleasant. I would have much preferred the black and white photos they have on the front of each of their menus. All in all, it was a memorable dining experience and definitely one of the best in Brooklyn. I will be back again for a specal occasion dinner in the future.
