    Wonderful food & atmosphere with staff who go above & beyond & seem to be a lovely team. We visited on a Friday evening so got to see the amazing dancers who really put on a great show. One small negative was the drinks service was very slow & could be improved but we still had a really great night & will be back.

    Very disappointed today. Previous visit excellent. Food was great but for those prices everything should be perfect. Staff are very matter of fact and not particularly welcoming/ friendly. We had a lot of leftovers and these were thrown away after we made a particular point of asking to take them away. No apology, no offer anything. Would need to be convinced to return. El Santo needs to up its “service” game to match the quality of the food

    Staff not as good as before the latest turnaround. There was a booked party in the cocktail bar we did not know about. It was our sixth time in El Santo but sadly we won’t be back.

    Thank you for sharing your feedback Peter. At El Santo, we strive to deliver exceptional service and delicious food every time, and it’s disappointing to learn we didn’t meet that standard during your visit. Your concerns about staff and communication are noted, and we’re actively addressing these to ensure a better experience for all. We’d love the chance to welcome you back and restore your faith in El Santo.

    Staff were incredible with our son’s allergies, very attentive & knowledgeable. Noisy atmosphere but we enjoy that buzz. We will definitely return as dining with teenagers is a challenge and they couldn’t have been any more accommodating.

    Thank you for the amazing review Donna! Your kind words inspire our team to continue delivering great food and service. We hope you’ll join us again at El Santo for another great dining experience.

    Service v slow, deposit not taken off bill and probably wouldn't have happened until I noticed when I was leaving. Tables next to us were incredibly loud.

    First time, booked without a personal recommendation just reviews on websites and did not disappoint. Felt like every dish we tried was better than the last.
