   I was surprised when making the reservation on Open Table, it was asked if special occasion. It was my son's 18th birthday. No mention of this at restaurant. My wife mentioned to the waiter and very little acknowledgement their either. One would have thought they would have sung Happy Birthday, given a scoop of ice cream, some acknowledgement. None the less, the food was amazing and I really enjoyed. But if we knew no recognition would be provided, we would have ventured elsewhere.

   La comida no es tan deliciosa y un poco costosa, el pulpo estaba chicloso y nos enfermó a mi y a mi esposo. No recomiendo este lugar.

   We visited Santa Maria for the first time this past weekend. Our server suggested an appetizer so we ordered the oysters.. The oysters were a great disappointment. They were the size of fingernails! We will take some of the blame because May does not contain an R yet for $24.00 it was a giant disappointment. The cocktails were very good. My husband thought his Seabass was excellent. I ordered the Mexican sampler which was very generous with the proteins. We skipped dessert. I don't know if we will try again. The oysters will be omitted no matter the month. Maybe this restaurant is better with friends. We came by ourselves and it felt a little was lacking but I can't put my finger on it.

   Service and food was great. Background music was too loud making it difficult to hear and understand wait staff.

   Outstanding food and drinks!! We will be back for sure. Our server provided outstanding customer service … she went above and beyond to make our brunch something we’d remember. Thank you for that. This was our first time at Santa Maria. We would suggest moderating the music. Loved the music but it was a bit too loud making it difficult to hear each other talk.

    This is the second time that we’ve eaten at this restaurant. Both times we were pleasantly surprised. The food is amazing. We’ve always had very friendly and efficient waiters and waitresses. It does get a little bit noisy with the entertainment, but other than that, the restaurant itself is extremely cool.
