Rene Jacques, a former manager at now-defunct Kastel Bar & Restaurant, is looking to debut a new concept called Saint at 626 10th Avenue in the space formerly occupied by Casa Del Toro in Hell’s Kitchen.
Located within walking distance of Times Square, the new 2,000-square-foot establishment hopes to be the perfect pregame destination for locals and tourists alike. The team bills their concept as an “inclusive establishment in the heart of New York City, exuding chic sophistication and a modern ambiance” with “high quality cuisine in the form of appetizing small bites and premium alcoholic beverages.” The concept is currently under renovation with Jacques telling What Now New York that he aims to open its doors in February.
Its menu will feature “modern American cuisine infused with a diverse range of ethnic influences,” with a kitchen helmed by a celebrity chef, as well as a bar helmed by a skilled mixologist to craft “delectable cocktails” that promise to have “an eclectic taste of paradise.”
Proposed menu items include island jerk chicken wings for $15, wagyu sliders for $12, chicken sliders for $20, harvest salad for $15, mini loaded fiesta nachos for $14 and creole pizza for $18.
It is slated to offer 24 tables with 40 seats, as well as one stand up and one service bar, with anticipated hours of operation of 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. daily. It will also offer an outdoor patio with five tables and 10 seats. Their backyard space will be open daily until 9 p.m. also with proposed seating of four tabletops.
