Santé

I am staying at the Fairmont Sonoma this weekend and I came here for dinner tonight looking to enjoy a fine meal. I opted for the prix fixe and got the duck for an extra entree because it was appealing to me. My other entree was the Wagyu Steak. Pictures speak for themselves. The attention to detail, the carefully selected ingredients, and the amazing flavors that each bite delivered can be seen and tasted. From appetizer to desert, I was thoroughly pleased. The service was amazing. I would highly recommend Sante. Definitely coming back next time I am in Sonoma, CA.

Amazing food for Valentine's Day!

Pro tip: order the chocolate souffle at the beginning of the meal. It takes about 30 minutes to prep and the kitchen will time it. It's not always on the menu but you can request it.

Between the two of us we shared an appetizer, 2 entrees and a dessert.

Appetizer:
hamachi crudo... It was delicious and will balanced.

Entree:
Bobo poultry poulet.... We found the farro and the chicken leg Divine. The chicken breast itself was a bit bland, but if you pair with the farro becomes acceptable in flavor.

2nd entree:
Dry aged ribeye... The most expensive item on the menu, I had my doubts going in, but I could not deny there was something about this that made me want more. It's not your typical steak. I have steak all the time, but this one was phenomenal.

Dessert:
Chocolate souffle... This was not on their regular menu (as you can see from the picture of the menus), but having been to the Fairmont in the past, this was one of the must have items. Most souffles served in restaurants I have been to aren't fresh and hot. They are usually pre made and served cold. This is one of those exceptions. This is how a souffle should be.

They also did a tuna tartare with apple amuse bouche which was a nice start.
Bread service is included with 2 kinds of butter and fleur de sel.

We did breakfast as well. The biscuits and gravy were very good. Also ordered the smoothie which is pretty standard but over priced for what you get. I'd skip the smoothie.

Additional note: if you have any issues, bring it up with the manager. They gave a great management staff. We had a small issue with the chicken. We told the server who apologized but didn't do anything about it. I had read a review where that had happened to someone else. I asked for the manager who was very concerned and offered to comp us (which was unnecessary as it was a small thing). It was the offer and sincerity that I was looking for.

Fantastic flavors and friendly attentive staff made my breakfast visit to Santé immensely enjoyable. I had the chilaquiles which packed a delicious spicy punch, and a side of delicious artisan pork sausage. The coffee was delicious, the orange juice fresh-pressed, and my daughter's lemon pancakes were really outstanding. It's no wonder they are a signature dish here. Can't wait to come back for dinner!

My husband and I had a breakfast here to celebrate his birthday. Staff Veronica and manager Mike were exceptional. My husband’s crab meat dish is to die for. My smoke salmon is perfect. They both were able to turn any unfortunate incident into a memorable happiest experience. Incredible food and management. Must visit.
