Beautifully warm atmosphere, we walked in on a Monday night in Nov and we found seats at the bar. It was quite busy especially for a Monday night. The prawns and clamshells were the right temperature paired with butter but it needed a little more favor. The hanger steak and spinach gratin were beyond delicious, cooked to the right level of crisp and scrumptious.
The food here is really incredible. From the artichoke hearts to the perfectly cooked and seasoned butcher's steak, St. Anselm presents a well-crafted range of options which leaves you feeling the comfort of a home-cooked meal combined with the pure excellence of the food itself.
The service could benefit from a bit more attention to detail, as this was the only drawback from what was otherwise a flawless night.
Great cozy space with amazing steak all priced reasonably! Got the denver and the flatiron, both were delicious. Denver was the fattier option and I preferred that. Spinach gratin and the mash potato on the side also perfectly cooked with perfect flavor. Was a pleasant experience and will definitely return. Loved it.
This place deserves all the praise. I love a good grill spot and everything off the grill here is pure bliss. Loved the clams and prawn, and the ax handle steak is in a category of its own. Chicken is phenomenal and reminds me that you should never rule it out. Desserts are decent but more to round off the meal. Great wine list to pair with everything too.
This place is great and have been coming here a long time. My only issue on the most recent visit was the "Bread and Butter." St Anselm charges *$16* for bread and butter and we were hoping for something that lives up to that. What we got was tough, cold bread with butter and radishes. It was ok but major let down relative to all the other dishes (which were great). Even if this was free, it still would have been a let down. Would cut this one.
I think this place is very racist. They made sure to serve me last, everything was cold and the staff wasn’t friendly. I took myself out to eat after a great day at work. Showed up in a suit, I was alone, and I was excited to try it out. Unfortunately my experience was absolutely terrible and I do not recommend going as a solo black women
