   We went to Santa Maria’s for New Years Eve so it was a little louder than the other times we have been. The ambience was good and it was busy though we did not wait long for food to arrive. We ordered two individual tacos - mine was tempura shrimp, crispy with a slightly spicy sauce. Hubby’s was spiced fish and shrimp with cheese and served with some greens. Then we ordered the strawberry n mango salad which has a really good dressing and a nice crunch of pumpkin seeds. Love it! Our main was the Paella Valenciennes with chicken, smoky sausage, shrimp calamari and mussels. Really delicious and the fish n meat on top were moist & well cooked not overdone. The only negative which stopped me giving a 5 for food was that we each had a couple of calamari rings ( majority were good) that were like rubber bands. The rice with its saffron flavor and peppers in was delicious. Our server was really great- friendly and attentive, she appeared at exactly the right times to see how our dishes were and to either clear something or bring us what we needed like a clean side plate. We really like Santa Maria’s and while it is not the cheapest restaurant around I am happy to enjoy quality creative dishes and pay for that quality. We will definitely be coming back for dinner soon.

   The food was good. The drink suggestions on point. NYE menu had fewer vegetarian options. Only an issue for one guest. Rushed out in theory for another reservation.

   First time at Santa Maria and it did not disappoint! We had a party of 8 people and the service was excellent. The drinks came very quickly which was a big plus. The food was very good and flavorful! The atmosphere was fun and entertaining. We had a great time and we will be back soon! We saw several parties celebrating birthdays and would recommend Santa Maria for a b day celebration or a date night.

    Live music was too loud to allow us to have a conversation. Would prefer this restaurant focus on quiet dining instead of a Latin party bar. At this price level, patrons want a quiet ambiance. If the restaurant wants music, I would suggest dinner music, not party music.
