If you're a vegetarian or vegan, this is a sweet place for a night out with someone you want to impress. There is a variety of dishes and combinations not found many places but we found them to be very good. I would definitely ask for the rooftop patio as the warm summer air and light breeze was perfect weather... More

An intimate place, but worth dining here. If you like lamb, you must have it here, it's delicious! Also, you must order their Sangrias, they are delicious. Good place to go with friends or even a romantic dinner. I booked our company's Christmas function here and everything was perfect!

We arrived in late afternoon after a long drive and theatre matinee. The patio was sparsely peopled and we were given a quiet table away from others. The staff was extremely good. We planned on having an appetizer and beverage, but were joined by a friend and stayed for dinner. The Santorini appetizer platter served us well with plenty to... More

My girlfriends and I had a late lunch/early dinner at Cafe Santorini yesterday and we loved it. We were on the patio and the weather was perfect. The restaurant was not busy as we were in between traditional meal times. We ordered cocktails and the pomegranate martini I had was divine. Our waiter was attentive and made recommendations for the... More

Visited this restaurant for the first time with friends. The ambiance is nice, we sat in the rooftop patio area. The area is protected from the wind by a clear cover that allows you to still have the outdoor feeling without the wind. One of our friends is a vegan and the menu allows for that by offering a nice... More

We stopped in for lunch, sat outside and enjoyed the atmosphere. The bread they bring you to start was so tasty and the main dish tasted amazing!

We stopped here for lunch and were very happy with the food and service. The pizza was wonderful, my fiancé enjoyed the lamb, and I loved the salad with seafood. Service was prompt. We sat on the deck which was enclosed and comfortable on a chilly day. The warm bread served upon arrival was delicious. Would definitely return.

My daughter brought us here for dinner. The servers are friendly and helpful. The food is good for the price. The lamb is really tender and well flavored. The beef is tender and the servings are just right. The vegetables are well seasoned and fresh.

The food is amazing! This is my second visit and everything is delicious! The bread that they bring out to snack on is so yummy. The Sangria’s are actually the best I have had anywhere including Spain! The Apricot Squash was fantastic, The grilled chicken was great and if you like lamb the braised Lamb is so tender it melts...
