    Service was very good with all staff attending to our table as needed. All 4 entrees were very good, served hot and all consumed. The wine list is concise with very interesting wines/grapes. We will return soon.

    The service is always just super at Santo. We were seated next to a noisy table and asked to be moved and they took care of that post haste. My partner ordered the oysters and they were the smallest I’ve ever seen. So she ordered an additional dish, the Pesto Cavatini, which I had as well with salmon, which was just delightful. I ordered it rare, the salmon, but it was not rare at all, but it was still OK. Lovely place. Just wish it was quieter.

    Our food was not very good. i’ve eaten here in the past and had a better meal. It may have just been that particular night.

    We were greeted at the door, not simply as a host or hostess asking for your reservation, it seemed more personal. The service was perfect. Checking on us without being bothersome. The food was as good or better than expected. This was our first visit, but will not be our last. Highly recommend Santos.

    My sister and I came to Santo for a sister night out, and we had such a great time! We both started with a French 75, then each ordered a half dozen oysters. The oysters came with a delicious mignonette, although I would’ve loved some Tabasco on the side! They did bring out horseradish, though, which definitely gave the oysters an extra kick. We also shared the crispy onion rings, served with ketchup and garlic aioli, the crispy artichokes with garlic aioli, and the Kofte burger. The artichokes were delicious, and the onion rings were good too, although there was a little too much batter for my liking—I still ate the whole thing! 😂 Service was attentive and friendly, and everything came out nicely. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and the fun atmosphere. Everything was delicious, and I’d definitely come back again!

    Delicious dinner! The drinks were perfect. The steak and the salmon were delicious as well as the heirloom tomatoes and whipped feta! Brette took great care of us!
