Had several appetizers and portions were generous. Tasty too! Would order everything again so that says something! Service was so-so. Seemed a bit disorganized and therefore had to reiterate order to two different people. Valet guy very nice and working hard- but if you go during their busy time, it’s a bit messy- and you’ll have to wait.

Amazing food and wonderful service! We sampled a lot off the menu and did not have any item that was not delicious. The Dinasaur Short Rib melts in your mouth and is so full of flavor.

Food and service were fantastic. The portions were generous, so we split a dinner. Every plate we had was chipped . think the chipped plates were an attempt at rustic. Chipped plates can be unsanitary so they don’t have a place in fine dining - or any dining. The chairs were uncomfortable for me. Other than these small things, this is a GREAT restaurant.

Absolutely amazing meal at Santo last night! Just two of us, sat at the bar. The Justin's offered superb service - much attention to detail. We tried oysters, birria dumplings for happy hour. Get some flour tortillas to dip in the birria broth! I love the portion size for two for happy hour - perfect a few bites. The drink selection is on point. Cocktail menu is lovely - offering a legend of flavors and glass type. Then we had the hen of the wood dish, and shrimp tostada. Those portions were a bit larger (perfect for a table of 4). We were actually full by then but really wanted to try the lamb shank. We will be back soon!

Food was not great for what you pay, quite plain, and chicken came out cold. Drinks were good. Service was exceptional but the food was just meh. They also had live spanish music but the guy's mic was turned up way to loud. I am a musician myself and for a small venue like that with an acoustic guitar rig, there was no need for how loud his setup was. We couldn't even have a conversation or hear what the server was saying. Way to loud.
