38º North Lounge

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

Santee restaurant at the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn is a special place. Everything we ate during 2 breakfasts and 1 dinner were exceptional. Crab Benedict and Cottage-lemon pancake were finger-licking good. Service is outstanding. We mention Ana, Bryce and Brian but others who served us were also wonderful. One thing to remember: they are very busy on weekends. Reservations are always a good idea but it is essential on weekends.

Nice restaurant in a very nice hotel. Alert parking made coming and going easy. Menu is too focused on too few items Reds more choices- in particular the Entrees.

Our experience was unforgettable. The hostess Marina made sure we had a quiet table with Happy Anniversary menus. The server Melissa decorated our table with flower pedals, knowing that it was our ten year anniversary. Server Mackayla was cheerful, and punctual. The caviar, fresh oysters, homemade goat cheese pasta was tremendous. The main course was perfect! Chateau Breann cold have been cut with a butter knife and the double garlic mashed potatoes were heavenly. It was more than a dinner, it was a special occasion experience we will never forget! Jeremy helped with the food and the bartender Deb, made a dirty martini that was ideal. Thank you Sante! Thank you Chef Jen!

We enjoyed a delicious meal at Sante for my husband's birthday. The black cod and sole dishes were both excellent.

Great cocktails and food. Wonderful service, we are here twice. Inside and the patio - both great.

Very very slow. It was highly recommended but didn't live up to expectations. The server apparently wasn't told he had our table, so his first words were that he was comping our dessert. Not his fault and he was very nice, but all the food came slowly ... :30 until we got our bread and soup and 1:45 until we got our mains. Not bad, but only fair. And nothing you can't get numerous other places. My feeling is that either they were trying out a new GM or the kitchen was dramatically understaffed. We also expected a far better wine program for a high class resort. Our overall impression was that they should hire a named chef and reimagine their menu and service. Felt out of date. They also comped our wine which I tried to talk the server out of, but he said that we were nicely patient. Oh well.
