Taking over the space occupied for decades by venerated Café Budapest, Saint introduces a swish and sultry boite, long on personal attention and fun. Saint sprawls like a labyrinth with three distinctly different lounges, private VIP tables, a vodka infusion bar and now the infamous "Bordello". Here the well-heeled cannot only be served a perfect martini and relax in pampered style, but also savor world-class cuisine to the sexy vibrations of celebrity DJ's.

The Scene
Deep in the bowels of the Copley Square Hotel lies the city's first self-described "nitery" (though it's more of an upscale lounge than a "nighttime eatery"). Saint's designers obviously had fun filling this turn-of-the-20th-century space with various stylish and futuristic accoutrements: opaque-glass bathroom doors, plasma TVs and for a nightlife spot, the Back Bay's first bed (for lounging only). Black-clad servers and bouncers have been known to exude a bit of attitude.

The Draw
Three distinct areas feature chic environs and expensive food and drink menus to keep the under-25 crowds at bay. Upon entering, patrons encounter the calm, blindingly white "Threshold Room," flanked by the "Living Room" (cavernous and usually crowded) and the more relaxed "Bordello Room" (romantically draped in crimson). Regardless of the locale, most tables are reserved for high-rollers; you'll likely be forced to stand with your selections from Chef Rene Michelena's eclectic "mini-cuisine" menu.
