What a delicious experience! The flavor in every single bite of every single dish was incredible! From the dumplings to the salad to the amazing sweet potatoes to the most tender short rib we were blown away! And don’t skip dinner! The cheesecake was unforgettable!

Sure! Here’s a polished review you can use: Santo Restaurant was amazing! Our waitress, Maria, truly made our evening special with her attentive and friendly service. The food was absolutely delicious, and the drinks were just as impressive—the Old Fashioned Tequila and the Carajillo were both outstanding. Highly recommend!

Excellent food, but the salsa had zero heat. The service was very poor. We waited a long time for starters. Our server was so absent that he lost track of what food was served, our main was served while silverware was missing (and had to wait for that), and we waited 30 minutes for our check. Seats were uncomfortable and it was incredibly loud. We will not be returning.

The food and service are wonderful but the noise level is so loud you cannot carry on a conversation. The loudness of the music and the conversations diminishes the overall experience.

One of our favorite new restaurant. James Beard nomination worthy and then some. The fondue first and wild salmon steak second were out of this world.

Being seated off to the side next to the parking lot felt like being shoved into an overflow area so they could make more money. For the price, the experience doesn’t match up very well. Two of the dishes were good even though they forgot to bring one of them out. The third dish was extremely chewy and not very tasty short rib. Also, we ordered a cocktail and when it was placed on the table, they dumped some of it on the table and it wasn’t because it was filled very high. Seems like they should’ve brought another one considering 20% of it was on the table. It’s the second time I have been there and the last time the waitress rarely checked on us and couldn’t seem to be bothered. It’s pretty hard to want to recommend a place at those prices with the two experiences I’ve had
