    One of favorite restaurants and it never fails to please. Food is always incredible, service is always genuine and friendly, wine is always great and the price is always expensive. Obviously, it worth it to me because I keep coming back whenever I want to have a great time with friends and enjoy their creative dishes and fresh made sauces. Treat yourself to this gem of a restaurant!

    We had a delightful experience! The vibe was funky and engaging, in a cozy intimate setting. We felt welcomed and attended to at just the right moments. Our meal was a shared salad and bouillabaisse, with a shared Caramel pot de crème to finish. All were excellent and served at a relaxed pace. Even though the room was fulll we could carry on a conversation with ease. It was a perfect night out! Can’t wait to return again!

    Wow! Our dinner selections were superior and delicious and the service was excellent. Nice ambiance, and they also have a doggie menu for your furry friend inspired by the yellow lab that lives here at the Fairmont! (We sat outside with heat lamps and it was perfect) We highly recommend Sante for a special occasion or date night! It’s worth the price because it’s next level food and services!
