Santos Chef offers a mixed dining experience. Some find the food average and service lacking, while others consider it the best spot for Italian cuisine in the area. The atmosphere is praised, with a beautiful interior and a relaxed dress code. The gluten-free pasta is a standout, described as spectacular and delicious. Chef Santos receives high praise for attentiveness and culinary skills. A must-try dish is the Pollo Picatta, and the stuffed salmon is also highly recommended, with one diner calling it the best they've ever had. Recent reviews highlight the delicious steak at a reasonable price and the popularity of the restaurant, especially for dinner dates. However, some experiences include being a little short-staffed, leading to longer wait times, and occasional issues with food portions, such as receiving a large plate of spaghetti instead of Chicken Francese. The bread with dipping sauce remains a highlight. The side of veggies can be undercooked and bland, and the dining room can be cold, making it less comfortable for some guests. Despite these mixed reviews on service and food quality, Santos Chef continues to be a place worth visiting for its varied menu and inviting ambiance.
