This place is good. Worth the trip from manhattan..loved it.

We went in December for our wedding anniversary and were hugely disappointed. Nothing was great and the place was empty.

absolutely great from soup to nuts -- literally here. The amuse bouche ( a mushroom/white truffle bisque of sorts) was outstanding and surprising. The rets of the food followed suit. yes its expensive but the quality is so that it feels veyr much worth it. dont miss the desserts--not usually my thing -- but hear are phenom. The pine nut tart rocked, with the best use of rosemary in a dessert ive ever tried. The baked alaska notable too. I love eaing in brooklyn and have had many great means (favs are applewood, frannys, and al di la) but somehow SAUL manages to be just a cut above the rest. bravo and thanks

I had my first dinner at Saul recently and was skeptical given some of the reviews. One couple in our party was late, and given our prime Sat night reservation time, I think the waiter was very understanding in letting us sit a while before ordering. Drinks were good and standard price, not cheap, but very well made. Wine list was extensive with some good values. Food, yeah, its pricey, but might be considered mid-range to an excellent value were it in Manhattan. I am not going to drop $100 pp that often, but I do not begrudge Saul. The food was inventive while retaining a certain classical influence. Portions, especially appetizers seemed to be generously sized. The steak and short rib was memorable, and while I like my steaks very rare, especially when they are of that quality, I understand why a chef at Saul might hesitate to apply nothing more than a sear. Overall I had a very nice time. Its not cheap by any stretch, but I would not hesitate to make it a special occasion place.

Saul didn't live up to the hype I had hoped. It's probably a little too traditional for my tastes. The food, while good, seemed a little too busy, and things seemed a little too prepared. I had the scallops and squid ink tagliatelle. The scallops were a bit boring, and tasted so much like the chorizo, I was a bit let down. The tagliaetelle was good, but the pasta wasn't very memorable, nor was the calamari in the dish. Things were cooked well, but over all, maybe too seasoned. The hanger steak and short ribs were quite tasty though.

Can't complain about the food, though you do certainly pay for the quality. We did the tasting and I was dissappointed b/c the wines on it were the same wines they offer by the glass...not something you'd expect from one of the most expensive restaurants in Brooklyn.

Saul is my go-to restaurant for special occasions. Every time that I have eaten there, the food has been exquisite. For the quality of food, I think that it's actually very reasonably priced. It's the best upscale restaurant in the neighborhood. The waiters are always extremely nice and knowledgeable as well. I've never had a problem with the portion size either. In fact, I usually leave stuffed.
