From the moment we walked in until the time we left the staff and service was fantastic, the selection of food was great and the cuts of meat were delicious and tender, myself and my wife will most definitely be back and will highly recommend you try El Santo at least once

Hearing aid users would appreciate a loop to help overcome hearing difficulties. The food was delicious (albeit a bit on the cold side). We all ate from the Brunch menu. Our waitress and All the staff were incredibly helpful.

Absolutely outstanding food, service & atmosphere. Felt very European & lively. This was a double birthday celebration and everyone thoroughly enjoyed. It is an expensive experience but with this level of service, every detail considered & explained, coupled with fabulous food then worth every penny. 1st visit for us and already planning a return visit to enjoy the Christmas menu. Massive well done & thank you.
