   This has become one of our favorite restaurants! The food and service is incredible each time we go. Fresh ingredients, perfectly prepared and plated with an artistic touch. When we had family coming from out of town, we knew exactly where we wanted to take them! We had a party of six last night (definitely recommend reservations) and we were taken to our table right on time. Our server was fantastic - attentive and made great recommendations on food and drinks. Our guests were impressed and want to come back the next time they are in town. Fortunately, we live here and will be back soon! Highly recommended!!

   We went to Santa Maria’s for New Years Eve so it was a little louder than the other times we have been. The ambience was good and it was busy though we did not wait long for food to arrive. We ordered two individual tacos - mine was tempura shrimp, crispy with a slightly spicy sauce. Hubby’s was spiced fish and shrimp with cheese and served with some greens. Then we ordered the strawberry n mango salad which has a really good dressing and a nice crunch of pumpkin seeds. Love it! Our main was the Paella Valenciennes with chicken, smoky sausage, shrimp calamari and mussels. Really delicious and the fish n meat on top were moist & well cooked not overdone. The only negative which stopped me giving a 5 for food was that we each had a couple of calamari rings ( majority were good) that were like rubber bands. The rice with its saffron flavor and peppers in was delicious. Our server was really great- friendly and attentive, she appeared at exactly the right times to see how our dishes were and to either clear something or bring us what we needed like a clean side plate. We really like Santa Maria’s and while it is not the cheapest restaurant around I am happy to enjoy quality creative dishes and pay for that quality. We will definitely be coming back for dinner soon.

   The food was good. The drink suggestions on point. NYE menu had fewer vegetarian options. Only an issue for one guest. Rushed out in theory for another reservation.

   What a find! Santa Maria is a welcomed change to the normal TexMex. Instead, they are a fusion of true Mexican and Spanish cuisines with Tapas as well as full plate options. They also have a full oyster menu as well as homemade, delicious desserts. Their drinks menu was original along with the usual favorites. Our server was friendly and gave us great service. The manager came over to check on us and it’s obvious that everyone there cares a great deal about the customers experience. The ambiance is very nice and upscale as well. Highly recommend!

   First time at Santa Maria and it did not disappoint! We had a party of 8 people and the service was excellent. The drinks came very quickly which was a big plus. The food was very good and flavorful! The atmosphere was fun and entertaining. We had a great time and we will be back soon! We saw several parties celebrating birthdays and would recommend Santa Maria for a b day celebration or a date night.
