Reviews for Sant'olina in Beverly Hills, CA
Beautiful ceiling and atmosphere, live music is also cool. Our waitress was very nice and smiley. Unfortunately the food was... terrible. Nothing that would be a problem for the health department, but honestly nothing had depth of flavor or tasted anythinglike described in the menu. The only redeeming factor was the homemade bread. We had the lamb shank, which was overcooked andpaired with a nearly unseasoned raw piece of bitter cabbage, the hangar steak dry and overcooked and paired with an extremelyunappetizing balsamic paste on the bottom, and the chicken snitzel was basically chicken katsu with some mixed greens and alittle sauerkraut on top. Like….why? I can’t figure out why anybody would come here. Maybe the drinks were good? I had aglass of wine but even that lacked any depth of flavor. Do not recommend and would not come back again. Not if you care aboutthe taste of food. Read more
excellent whipped feta and cous cous, beet dip was great too. Schnitzel was special. Fabulous chocolate katafei dessert
Cocktails great, food decent. Was seated at the bar in order to be able to order from the happy hour menu, which was fine... although the staff tended to hang around there chatting. Read more
This is probably one of the top 5 meals I have ever had in the world! The scenery and the ambience are relaxed and beautiful,... the staff is very attentive and genuine. I could taste love in the food! Kudos to the chef and our server Alfredo! Read more
Great, attentive service. Beautiful restaurant with great views/decor and a very laid back vibe (615-8pm on a Wednesday). Food... was tasty but my friend and I weren't in love with the menu's entrees so we ordered a few different appetizers to share, allwere very good. Favorites were the green goddess salad, bourekas, coffee and donuts, and the kadaif cheesecake. We saw a happyhour menu online which had some lamb meatballs that sounded delicious. After we were seated, we asked for some (before happyhour ended at 6:30). Our server was confused and went to inquire then informed us we could only order from that menu inside/atthe bar...bummer. We didn't get a choice of sitting inside or outside when we arrived either, which was odd. We passed on themeatballs for the view, sadly. Main thing I noticed missing: Signage that directs you to the restaurant from self-parking.First, we ended up on the roof of the parking garage, then we found our way into the hotel and wandered for a moment beforeasking a hotel consierge how to get to the restaurant. Lol. It was overall a beautiful and delicious experience. :) Read more
Views, attentive service, and atmosphere, were all five star. The food was mixed: I liked the hamachi, but my friend didn’t. ... Nonetheless, it could have used some Yuzu or something with a little kick. I thought the hummus was oily and runny, but my buddyliked the flavor. I prefer a thicker Lebanese style hummus. Falafel was very salty, came in an oily sort of sauce, and does notcome with pita ????! Who has hummus and falafel, but no pita? My friends enjoyed the lamb burger and reported that it wasdelicious.

Came here for dinner as I was staying at the hotel. Such a lovely place! They gave me the impression that they were going to be... busy and I didn't have a reservation (which is suggested) but were able to accommodate me since I was by myself. Within the hourthey were packed. It was right around sunset, so it was such a treat to be outside as the weather was cooling down. The foodwas delicious. I ordered the Harissa Yogurt and Roasted Salmon with a couple glasses of wine. The salmon was cooked perfectly!It was a little pricey overall (comparable to the Bay Area where I live), but between the food and atmosphere I think it wasworth it. Great service. Despite how busy they were getting, my server took the time to chat and just ask how my day was going.Insanely friendly. Would love to come back on my next work trip! Read more
Beautiful space, the views are incredible, good service. I ordered the beet salad, this was really good, and the sea bass with... eggplant and couscous, I probably wouldn't order this item again. The bass was not moist, my dinner guest ordered french fries,they were a bit salty. Our waitress was extremely nice, she was able to bring another order of fries without salt. 5 stars forthe ambience and views. Read more
