Santé at the Fairmont Sonoma Mission InnGourmet DiningMy wife and I celebrated our anniversary there. The dining room is quite elegant. Our reservation was handled graciously and on-time. The food was truly outstanding. The shortcoming was in the quality of service. Our waiter read us the whole menu (unnecessary). Our entries took about 45 minutes to be served. There was confusion in the order taking between the Maitr'd and our waiter. However, to the credit of the staff, they had only be open for 2 weeks since their remodel. Perhaps they had not had enough time to communicate and execute as a team.5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMImpressive all aroundInitially I booked this reservation because I was staying at the Fairmont, but WOW! The food and service were both stellar and I can certainly see why they have a Michelin star. I started with the sweetbreads and scallops...possibly the most perfectly cooked scallop I've ever eaten. Then on to the stuffed rabbit loin! Words cannot describe the presentation and flavor that I enjoyed. I eat rabbit often and must say I've never had the rack of rabbit ribs on my plate...impressive. This meal was so lovely that I indulged in a rare dessert order. The chocolate purse...OMG! To die for...if you love warm chocolate inside a crisp, delicate shell of pastry. I would not only recommend this restaurant but I'm thinking of how I can get back myself.5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMPerfect mealWe had the 4 course food and wine pairing. It was fantastic.

The sommelier was incredible at assisting in our wine selections. Rivals our previous experiences at La Toque in Napa. Will definitely return.4/7/2013 12:00:00 AMJust opened after remodelingJust opened after remodeling and the food was fantastic. The remodeling isn't quite finished so the atmosphere was...not complete but they are getting there. The tasting menu is a great way to experience a wide range of flavors for a set price. The wine list was pretty good, as it should be in CA Wine Country, but the food was stand-out flavorful and artistic. This is definitely a place to go for foodies, no question. The service was superb and flawless. I never say that and it was - so kudos to Sante on their new opening!4/6/2013 12:00:00 AM
