that being said
Despite all that
A transitional phrase that acknowledges what was just stated while pivoting to a contrasting or qualifying point.
It signals that the speaker accepts the previous information but wants to add a complication or exception: The hotel was expensive—that being said, the location was unbeatable.
Often shortened to that said.
Some consider it wordy or overused in formal writing.
