What people say, in short
Saint Germain is a fine-dining spot that many diners recommend for its food, and one visitor singles out the tasting menu as original and very tasty. One diner ranks a meal there above high-end restaurants in several major cities, while another calls it a memorable choice in the area. The honest caveats are cost and portions: one visitor found the small tasting portions and the price the biggest drawback, and another found the meal underwhelming, with an overpriced pasta course.
