Valentine's dinner was one to remember! Tastefully curated courses had us blissfully grateful to enjoy each other's company with delicious food and elegant ambiance and wonderful service.
This restaurant was superb! The details of the favor was very exquisite and my bday celebration was really special!
Food was excellent. Seafood was fresh, we enjoyed all of our dishes - seafood sampler of caviar, oysters& smoked trout dip, pork dish which was so moist and branzini.
We had a lovely Christmas dinner at Sante and loved it. The food, the service, the decor were all great! I'd recommend.
For prix fixe menu, I would state that it was just ok. I've been to other places that have mastered the process. While I understand that this is a hotel and many people attend, this was still steam table food, albeit quite good. I can only comment on the Christmas dinner, not the overall offerings of the hotel's restaurant and I want to be fair. We had amuse-bouches first. Blinis, meh, shrimp, meh, crab salad drowning in mayo, meh and the #best# oysters I've had in a long time. Maybe shrink the amuse bouche? I would not have felt deprived with just a few oysters of that good quality! The main I selected was prime rib. The meat was literally alone, plopped on a plate with nothing around it. Presentation is everything-there wasn't anything of the sort. It tasted good, but not a top cut, not tough, but not super tender. The sides were served separately and our table for two was totally crowded. Suggestion: don't try to be all things to all people. Chose 2 veggies and 1 starch if you're serving at the table. If you're going to do more, do a buffet. The bûche was pretty good; a lot of different flavors with the different, pretty decors. The coffee flavor was outstanding. Presentation was a lot nicer. Service was very good, both wait staff and sommelier/maitre d'h. We felt very welcomed by everyone at SMI and the ambiance was great, from parking valet, guitar player, and all restaurant staff. This is not meant to be criticism but rather suggestive.
Enjoy a Christmas feast at Sante on Christmas Day 2025. Excellent service from our server Holly who did an exceptional job of making us feel welcome and always providing a great Holiday spirit.
A wonderful food and drink/wine combination- pricey but good value. Will definitely return.
Fabulous all around, staff are outstanding. Bar and appetizers amazing (I highly recommend the Canardier cocktail) Dinner was excellent with seasonal additions as always. We had the octopus and the beet salad, followed by the duck and petrale sole, everything was seasoned and cooked perfectly!
The food was delicious and the service was great. The environment is warm and elegant without being fussy.
The thanksgiving Buffett was awesome. Loved the seafood selections with oysters and other tasty treats. Traditional turkey and stuffing was delicious. Lots of dessert choices.

The best Thanksgiving buffet I've had. Food was superb as was the staff. Worth every cent.
While the dinner itself was incredible, the experience was not relaxing or peaceful. The owners of dogs in the lobby allowed them to bark loudly and incessantly throughout the evening.
Quality and presentation were top notch as was the service. So many good choices for the buffet but limited to one's stomach capacity. 😄
Long wait between courses. Then our finished plates sat in front of us for quite a long time. Server pretended it was not her job and maybe it wasn't but someone needs to clear the plates! Manager came over to check in and he did t pitch in to help and clear plates. The whole dinner flow was off. We will think twice before dining again.
Main courses were super delayed coming out and unfortunately very bland but apps and cocktails were amazing
