Singapore for almost 200 years has been at the crossroads of Southeast Asia, where many cultures and nationalities live, work and more importantly, eat together. Singapore's cuisines logically reflect this cultural diversity. The four major culinary cultures -- Malaysian/Indonesian, Chinese, Indian and Nonya -- are in fact a blend of each other, creating a new cuisine that is unique and more complex in flavors and fragrances. Straits offers a menu that features the complexity of all these Singaporean cuisines in chef Chris Yeo's unique interpretation. This beautiful Santana Row location opened in January 2003.

Very noisy and almost obnoxious atmosphere. Food was decent if you like spicy. Service was adverage. Sat us outside on a cool and windy day, and yet didn't have propane for the heaters. Went to celebrate a milestone birthday won't be returning anytime soon.

This restaurant tries to be trendy. But lots of details totally missed the mark. One example. I ordered a hot green tea. It came with a teapot with a mug and teabag. I needed to put the teabag in the water myself. That’s not a big deal. But the water in the teapot was just lukewarm. $3 for this.

The food is good here but the management refuses to staff for the number of people present. The bar and wait staff are overwhelmed. We have eaten here many times and keep going back for the food. About 30% of the time the service is good. The music is really loud because they are catering to a crowd that looks at their phones through most of the meal, so no need to be able to hear each other. I am sure we will eat here again because we do like the food, and hopefully the owners will start paying attention to all the negative reviews on yelp, trip advisor, and open table.

Thank you for bringing these matters to our attention. We're sorry if your dining experience was anything less than outstanding. We are always doing our best to refine and improve our offerings and practices, so feedback like this is critical for us. We'll be passing this along to our team and we hope you'll give us another chance in the future.

It is nice when restaurants have a quiet eating area like Straits does. We ate outside so we could quietly talk with friends we don’t see that often. The side outside has good heaters. We always get the wonderful small plates to get the many different flavors.
