Santini Seafood and Steakhouse: Reviews & Ratings
Good place for some steak and some drinks at the bar. Nice illuminating atmosphere and just overall very chill and calming. I go just about once a week with some family or a friend. Also, they're Espresso Martini is awesome. Ask for a some cinnamon to be put in it, and its perfect.
I came here for my birthday dinner and it was such a great experience! Brian, our waiter, and Nico and the rest of the staff made my night special. The customer service we received was exceptional. Thank you all! The food was amazing. We enjoyed our meal very much. Kudos to the chef! I would definitely recommend this restaurant.
Happy to see new places in town that offer high quality food! Excellent location with plenty of parking spaces, tastefully decorated, beautiful bar area, delicious red sangria!! We stopped by for lunch and ordered the Portuguese sausage for appetizer and the salmon with scallops dish which were excellent! Service is very attentive. Will definitely come back for formal dine-out
I have eaten here many times and ALL the dishes I have had are delicious!! The ambiance is beautiful and the service is outstanding !! Brian always takes care of us and the young man that is the server is always attentive and kind. We cant thank them enough for the wonderful memories we have created here !!!
Had reservations but had to wait15 minutes for a table. We had a show to go so I wasn’t happy. Other than that the rest of the evening was great. Sangria was awesome. Pic below is crabmeat stuffed flounder. Delicious, moist and cooked perfectly. Rice was also moist and flavorful. Wife had shrimp , scallops and flounder in garlic sauce. Not heavy on the sauce but great flavor nonetheless. Worth checking out.
Always fantastic!!! Food, service, atmosphere... Definitely a go to place :) make sure to also try the Expresso Martini :)
The Place: Nice atmosphere. Looks smaller on the inside than what I thought from the outside, but they have outdoor seating too. Very nice medium-small bar. Love the fireplace and lighting. The People: the service is fantastic. Even when it was extremely busy they made sure to give some dedicated time to focus on my to-go order. It was highly appreciated. And most importantly The Food: I ordered the Salmon. The chef(s) blew me away! It was cooked to perfection and was perfectly seasoned. The rice was slightly over seasoned, but was in reason and tasty. I also had the red sangria, which was awesome! For dessert, the chocolate mousse. It tasted homemade and was delicious, just wish it came with the whip cream and toppings. Overall: 5 out of 5 Stars Note: the Salmon in the picture I took looks smaller than it was bc I couldn't wait to dig in! Lol. And note I included a picture of the chicken Fettuccine Alfredo I had a couple days earlier. It was very good but the Salmon rocks!
Traveling from CT while here at nearby hotel stumbled upon this beautiful gem! Absolutely Amazing food and service highly recommend
