    I was at the bar waiting for my table to be ready. I accidentally left my credit card there and I went into the main room to have dinner and bartender never brought my card over and I lived over an hour away. I had to go back to the next day to grab my card. I thought that was Bad service. I know it’s my responsibility, but I thought I’d of, courtesy he would’ve brought it over

    Our food was delicious, our server was great, although I felt like for the price the tables were very close to each other couldn’t really enjoy my time because we were hearing people around us so heavily

    I had an amazing experience at Santa Fe Steakhouse! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a nice evening out. The service was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. The steaks were cooked to perfection, full of flavor, and incredibly tender. The seasoning was just right, and the sides complemented the meal beautifully. Everything was fresh and well-prepared. Overall, Santa Fe Steakhouse exceeded my expectations. Whether you’re a steak lover or just looking for a great dining experience, this place is definitely worth a visit. I highly recommend it!
