Reviews
A recent dining experience at the restaurant brought mixed reviews. While some dishes like the French onion soup and certain entrees were outstanding, others like the Elk special and fettuccine alfredo fell short of expectations. Inconsistencies in service were noted, with reports of slow and disorganized seating, as well as uninterested staff members. Despite these setbacks, the atmosphere and ambiance were praised, particularly for outdoor dining along the river. A variety of dishes and cocktails received high praise from some patrons, while others found the food to be good but not exceptional. Overall, the restaurant seems to have a loyal following, with some patrons recommending reservations and valet parking for a complete dining experience, on average, Santaella has been rated as 4.6.
