I enjoyed Sante’s Mother’s Day Tea with my mom, daughters, sister and mother-in-law. We received such excellent service. We were given tasty foods on a pretty display. What a treat to receive a $50 off coupon to return as well as champagne. We will be back!

Went for Easter Brunch. They opened 15 minutes late for the first seating. People lined up around the door were getting antsy and yelling Hello as we could hear them inside. Once seated I was informed it was a 2 hour seating and we had to vacate the table promptly so they could clean and have it ready - even though we were seated 20 minutes late due to the late opening and would need to vacate 10 minutes early to leave them time to clean before the second seating????? Food flavors were good but many dishes were dry (talking to you lamb, and what was the brown gravy seemingly from an envelope being substituted for the mint jelly sauce??) or stone cold (mushrooms and sides). I know it is hard to keep items warm on a buffet without them drying out but this was a real miss. If you stayed with the charcuterie board, salad, and shrimp on ice, it was a good meal but not worth the steep price of admission. Apparently in the haste to open, butter, salt, and pepper were all forgotten and needed to be begged for but the server who attended our table was truly game for trying to please.

Three adults and one child came for the Teddy Bear tea and absolutely loved it! Our server Elizabeth was fantastic, very attentive and caring throughout. Commented to the hostess about our praise and gratitude to Elizabeth. The sweet and savory delectable bites were each divine - every morsel was a tasty delight and the teas were also quite refreshing. Our request to be a socially distanced as possible was met with grace and caring - we were seated in 4 exceptionally comfortable chairs in front of the beautiful fire place, nicely distant from other tables. Truly very much appreciated. Also loved the valet parking. Definitely will return for tea again in future!

Pros: the service (host and our waiter) excellent the food was Devine! We had the Bronzino and the salmon. Con: the sitting was uncomfortable (we sat against the bench and the chair on the other side, my husband who is 6,2’ used the back pillow as a booster. Terrible! Terrible!!! Worst seating ! (The table sitting looked to be okay) The odd thing I did notice was we valet parked which was nice, but received no confirmation ticket. Well it is the Ritz! Will go again but will request a different sitting!

Wife and I were looking for something different from the usual steak house. We decided on Sante. We got “dressed up” for dinner (sports coat and slacks/wife wore a nice dress.) We noticed people wearing gym clothes and casual wear inside the restaurant. Felt overdressed. NOTE-yes, Sante is in the Ritz, but it’s also attached to a shopping mall. Food was good, but mediocre. Steak tartare was the highlight of the evening. Ribeye was covered in sauce. Good steak should not be smothered in sauce. Service was good. Wife had salmon. Best part of the salmon was the risotto. Overall, we expected a little more creativity from the chefs. Everything was over priced compared to the usual fine dining. Paying for the name “Ritz.”

I took my 6 year old daughter for a Teddy Bear Tea and we had a great time. The servers took great care and attention to make it special. The food and tea for both myself and my daughter was delicious. She even got a teddy bear as a gift. My only disappointment that for some reason we were not seated in the tea room but rather in the front area with the rest of the restaurant.
