“ Service was great as well as the food. Every dish was well prepared. Oysters were phenomenal as well as the chickpea fries. We had to order a second helping they were so good! ”
“ I visited Santo for a rehearsal dinner for a family wedding and was blown away. I’ve never had such attentive and intentional service at a restaurant. Case in point: I don’t drink, and ordered a mocktail at the opening cocktail hour. When it came time for the champagne toast to the bride and groom, a waitress came over, said she had noticed I wasn’t drinking, and asked if I would prefer an NA champagne instead, without me saying a word to the waitstaff about wanting to avoid alcohol. It’s the little touches like that that I would have never considered making a huge difference in my dining experience, but was really touching when it happened. Full compliments to the waitstaff for managing the event so seamlessly and professionally the whole night. Not to mention, the food was delicious and I’ll be dreaming about the dark chocolate creme brulee for a while. ”

The restaurant has a very intimate feel which makes it feel very personal and special. ”

“ Fantastic, fresh, and flavorful menu with not only excellent taste, but great presentation. Cocktails are refreshing and the menu and cocktail menu changes frequently depending on fresh food that is in season. Staff are very accommodating and attentive and the owner is very present and kind to guests. The restaurant feels more at home instead of an in and out experience. A reservation is recommended in advance and parking can be found in the garage on lower levels. There is indoor and lovely outdoor seating. ”
