In the early evening Saturn is visible and there is a bright star close by. There are two bright spots in that area, and one is Saturn.

I know where Venus is. It is much lower and to the right of Saturn, but the star I am talking about is above and to the left of Saturn......not below it. I'm still not sure which one it is.

You're probably seeing Venus, although that isn't a star.

How close and how bright? Regulus (alpha Leonis) is about 10° east (left in N. Hemisphere) of Saturn, and is not quite as bright. Venus is much brighter and about 35° to the west.

You are most likely seeing the star of Regulus in Leo. Antares lies in Scorpius, near Jupiter in the evening, not near Saturn.
