Santi was first rate all around, from a drink at the beautiful bar, to our delicious lunch. The service was spot on and the restaurant itself was a work of art! I have been to many Michael White restaurants and Santi is one I will look forward to returning.

The food was delicious however we felt that the service initially was rushed even though we told the server we were in no hurry. It was a nice touch to have chef come out and talk to us. Thank you.

When my boyfriend and I arrived on time for our reservation, we were asked to wait at the bar, and that”our table will be ready in a minute.” After we waited past our reservation time, we checked with the host, we were suddenly asked to sit outside (??) because, according to the host, my boyfriend’s t-shirt is too casual. We ended up feeding the mosquitos outside the entire meal (and yea there were many bugs). The inconsistency is ridiculous. Why tell us our table’s just getting their checks, before making up an excuse to make us sit outside?? I genuinely believe our table was given to someone else. Will never visit again. I would said the outdoor is pretty like you pay a fine-dining for mosquitos.

Excelente lugar para cualquier ocasión ya sea algo casual pero lindo o un cumpleaños o aniversario. La comida es excelente, el carpaccio de atún es inigualable, el mejor que he probado. También les recomiendo la pasta con trufa! La selección de vinos es increíble, poco overpriced pero excelente.
