Good food. Attentive but not intrusive service. Pleasant informal atmosphere. And dog friendly. This was our second visit, for lunch, having previously visited for dinner. Our experience on both occasions was excellent.

The whole experience was marvellous. Fantastic staff, so welcoming, fast service, delicious hot food, lovely wine, beautiful pictures, lovely ambience. Only thing was my chips were not freshly cooked. But we will definitely return, possibly as early as next week.

Overall, I’d come back for the steak, wine & espresso martinis which are all exceptional, but the sides need refining.

We dined at Santa Maria on a Saturday evening. We had booked a table for two at 19:30. We arrived at 19:15 which wasn’t a problem. The friendly waitress showed us to our table straight away. I had the rib eye, my companion had sirloin, both cooked to perfection, medium. We shared the glazed carrots and broccoli, plenty for two of us and we shared a bottle of Malbec. I had cheesecake and my companion had lemon curd for desert. Both delicious. We were very busy chatting so didn’t leave until 22:30. At no point did we feel rushed. I had visited the restaurant approx 15 years ago and not much has changed. A really friendly atmosphere with a nice buzz of a local restaurant. I won’t be leaving it 15 years before I go back.
Santa Maria del SurResponded on 6 November 2024
Thank you for the wonderful review, Jason! We're so glad you had a great experience with us and that both the food and service met your expectations. It's always a pleasure to hear from returning guests, and we're thrilled that you won't wait another 15 years to come back. Looking forward to welcoming you again soon!
