Terrible place to visit. Staff were disrespectful, bouncers were assholes, service was mediocre, and drinks were nothing special. Women treated as objects here. Pretentious atmosphere of people who think they have money. Not worth going. read more

Food and drinks were good; we got the trio which were chile flavored chips, almonds, and olives in spiced oil and vinegar; for drinks they were able to accommodate a diabetic in our party with a sugar free mocktail. Service was OK- there were several times were we wished our server checked on us more; ambiance is amazing! Great outdoor space and the huge tree in the middle is a definite showstopper read more

Terrible place. We arrived on Saturday night as a party of four, and they denied us entry at the door because I was wearing sneakers. Who do they think they are? Is my money not worth the same as everyone else's? That's ridiculous. What a classist place! To make matters worse, the first thing they said was, "Do you have a table?" No welcome, no courtesy, no basic manners. Hopefully they learn some basic communication skills and how to greet people at the door with respect. Customer service clearly isn't their strong suit. read more

Best happy hour from 4-7 pm! Went on Thursday for GNO, we got all dressed up and had a blast at Sante

I came here for the happy hour. The service was great, the decor is lovely! Cocktails and food were all delish. There is a special note for the seating. This is a cocktail lounge so they don't have regular dining seating area. read more

This place is such a vibe. Really enjoyed myself. Great drinks and Crystal was top notch in taking care of us.

Stopped by for happy hour and was instantly in awe, Sante is absolutely stunning. The dreamy trees and artistic bar set the perfect vibe. Their happy hour is ideal for sampling unique, beautifully crafted drinks without overcommitting. We loved every sip, each one so different and delicious. The Frida Flatbread was divine, crispy, cheesy, and full of flavor. The east coast oysters were impressively fresh and well-prepared. The value is amazing, and I can't wait to come back at night when the DJ brings it all to life! Ambiance: 10/10 Service: 9.5/10 Food 9.5/10 read more

They charge for water! ($10) the waitress also poured out the waters as we were seated and said nothing about water being a charge. How are we suppose to know they charge for water? Drinks took at least 30 mins to come to us and they were watered down. Told the waitress and she did bring us another round on the house, however they were also watered down and one of the drinks wasn't even the right drink. When we got the itemized check, the waitress added Don Julio tequila for my margarita, but I didn't even ask for that. I wanted the regular margarita on their menu for $16. The up charge that I didn't ask for was $28! Really dishonest of the waitress to do that when I said nothing of it. Music was super loud inside but not outside. Server was Cheyenne M. read more

Eh. We were visiting from NYC, where places are much more casual (you can get into almost any nice cocktail bar without being super dressed up, dress shoes/heels/dresses, etc.), and did not realize this place was so serious about the dress code. A little weird given that it felt like any other nice neighborhood cocktail bar back home. The location did not match the vibe they were looking for. read more

One of the most beautiful places I have partied at. The food was phenomenal, the drinks were unique, but a little pricey. But the vibe was on point. read more

Most popular , chick and high end cocktail bar in Houston. We had an amazing time every time here. Yes I have been here more than 5 times and would love to go again. Really nice decoration with European ambiance, beautiful chandeliers and 2 huge old olive trees. Just see the pictures. They have DJ every night and on weekends they have violinist (cute guy) , saxophone player and dancers. The cocktails are unique and delicious, you can also get the best bottles from around the world here. I also went for Sunday brunch to Santè and that was an amazing food experience, the caviar service , devil eggs and avocado deep are amazing. They also have a totally different brunch cocktail menu and sangria for brunch. There patio is really nice for brunch and it feels like your in a totally different place than Houston. read more

I adore the ambiance at Sante! It is such an elegant, sophisticated find in Houston. I absolutely adore the decor here; it feels so high class. I came for happy hour, and their happy hour selection is a bit different from their regular menu. They offer select drinks and "small bites" that are smaller versions of what they typically offer on their menu. I ordered an espresso martini and the three graces. Both drinks were beautiful and on the stronger side, but I wasn't wildly impressed by the drinks. For food, we ordered the O'Keefe and the Renoir flatbreads. My favorite was the O'Keefe. The Renoir flatbread was also good, but please note that the honey does have a bit of a kick to it! Overall I had an enjoyable experience here. read more

I went here with my friends for my birthday and loved it!! It was pricey but I think every drink was truly so good and thoughtfully garnished. Our drinks did get mixed up and sent to the wrong table but our waitress took care of it and brought a round of birthday shots due to the mistake. I also loved the music the saxophone player was so cool and interactive. I am leaving off a star though because I called ahead of time to ask if I don't use my deposit can I apply it to gratuity and was told yes, when I got there that was not the case even thought I checked ahead of time. Also points off because the only way to park is valet. I would come back for happy hour :) read more

Santé is such a vibe. The atmosphere is elevated but still fun the kind of place you dress up for and actually feel excited walking into. The lighting, music, and overall aesthetic make it feel like a true upscale lounge experience. The cocktails were creative and perfectly made. Everything looked beautiful and tasted even better. It's rare to find a spot that gets both the ambiance and the drinks right, but Santé does. Service was smooth all night and the energy kept building in the best way. Perfect for a girls' night, birthday, or just a night out when you want something a little more elevated than the usual Houston bar scene. Definitely coming back. read more

Santé is easily one of the most polished cocktail lounges in Houston. The interior design alone makes it worth visiting elegant, moody, and thoughtfully curated. Every cocktail we ordered was balanced and high quality. You can tell there's real attention to detail, from presentation to flavor. It feels intentional and refined, not rushed. The staff was professional and welcoming, and the overall experience felt seamless from start to finish. If you're looking for a sophisticated night out with excellent drinks and a beautiful setting, Santé is the place. read more

This is such a cute lounge!! It wasn't super packed which for me was a good thing. The drinks were all really tasty. The bartender described them as "farm to table" for their level of freshness and I would have to agree. I also liked that they were willing to switch things up upon request. For example, they turned a tequila drink into a mezcal drink. Everyone was very personable. Now let's talk about the food. We tried one of their flatbreads and it was not only filling, but delicious!! We got the steak one, but swapped the red sauce for white sauce and added chorizo. Drinks we tried: Picante - loved this! I tried with tequila and mezcal Le Grand Canal - the more boozy drink The Cafe Terrace - great with tequila or vodka The shot they set on fire (can't remember the name) - didn't taste strong, but had a good flavor read more

This is the top place in Houston. The drinks are amazing, you have never tried them anywhere else. The food tastes and looks great. I have been there for evening drinks and brunch time and they are both great. Santé sundays brunch is amazing and different. Their lobster roll tastes sooo good. Their salmon pockets are so delicious and the chef presents them very nicely. The cocktails they have for Sunday brunch are perfect, refreshing and look so good as well. I cannot say how much everything is nice there, you feel like you are in a high end bar somewhere like Ibiza and not Houston.Just see the pictures. I highly recommend Santé if you like to dress up, enjoy food, drink, ambience and be in paradise for some hours. read more

Being my first time here the service was very lack luster and really non existent. I had to walk up to the bar to order drinks ( btw the bartender was nice) she asked if we wanted a server I said yes, she spoke to the serve who then approached me saying I guess I'll be your server and will bring you your drinks. Mind you it's a Monday evening and the establishment was slow, knowing that there's an automatic 20% gratuity you would think they'd want service those who come in. On another note the establishment is very beautiful inside and the chandeliers are stunning. We had oyster and hummus and both were delicious. read more

Amazing ambiance! Beautifully aesthetic, from the decor to the GORGEOUS drinks. The bartender was so professional, knowledgeable and definitely knew what he was doing! One thing is for sure, if you are planning on having a girls night, date or need a table- DEFINITELY make sure to make a reservation! My bestie and I Just popped in to check the place out but they were completely booked. We did enjoy the ambiance and a few cocktails at the bar. There is valet only but no worries they take card as well. Overall, great time! read more

Horrible Expey. First and last time there. They intend to charge 200, pp dollars to my boyfriend just to go inside. Even when we said is just to be at the bar. The guys where speaking suspicious in front of us. We just decide to go to some where else. We don't need that. read more

Sante is an upscale bar/lounge in the Upper Kirby area. Reservations are strongly recommended as seating is limited. You'll be asked to place a $20 deposit when you make your reservation but it will be used as a credit on your bill. My friend and I came here on a Sunday for a girls night out. Valet appears the only option but I did not venture out to try and find street parking. My first impression is that the ambiance is classy and romantic. It makes for a great date night or outing with your girl friends. There are also plenty of backdrops for a cute photo op. I reserved us a high top table which was right next to the DJ booth. There was a live DJ playing music when we went which made for a fun atmosphere while we were there. The only downside is that the music was way too loud that people had to scream to talk to someone beside them. I'd understand if there was dancing going on but everyone was casually sitting and having conversations. I ordered "The Three Graces" and my friend ordered the "Picante" for our first round. My drink was a twist on an Amaretto Sour so it was sweet. I always like starting off with cocktails with egg white for that smoothness. If you're planning on getting the meat and cheese board, I'd recommend reserving one of the room tables because the board took up basically half of the high top table. We barely had enough room for our drinks and it was only 2 of us. The board was okay but the preparation was a bit lazy. The prosciutto was just one giant piece and the ratio of crackers and cheese was way off. I enjoyed the honey they served with it though. Our second round was the "Three Pears Old Fashioned" and the "Fruit of the Earth". Whiskey's my liquor of choice and the bartender who made my drink definitely was a heavy pourer. My friend's drink came with a mini fire show which was fun to watch. It tasted phenomenal though and I normally don't like mezcal. Overall, we had a great time and I would love to come back again. read more

Went for Sunday brunch, with a reservation that had a note we were celebrating my niece turning 21. We were the only table inside at noon. Took a long time for a server to take our drink/app order. Our server didn't come by after that. A runner brought our appetizer which we ate for a while without anyone coming to get our entree order. I asked my niece if she wanted to go somewhere else since everything was taking so long. Waited a while to close out but eventually had to get up to ask if we could be closed out. Overall, the aesthetics were nice, food and drinks were good, but the service was so horribly slow and inattentive, especially since we were the only ones in there. I work in restaurants so I can be very understanding of some waits, this was significantly disappointing. read more

Okay, this is a fair review and making it as honest as possible. Yall know anything below 4 star hurts my phat heart. At first glance, I really was shocked at why the ratings here were so low. I knew it wasnt because of the ambience. Sante has such a whimsically posh yet radiant and dazzling vibe. This place was definitely too cool for me. Atmosphere was SPOT ON. There is nothing lacking there. Then I thought.. well.. please don't be the food! I went during happy hour and ordered one of their flatbreads. I also ordered a happy hour drink as well. That is when i noticed that something was a bit "off". The drinks were made for humans the size of toddlers. Both the drinks and the flatbreads were beautiful but my god they were extremely tiny. I hate to say it but we truly felt like we were being ripped off after drinking 3 happy hour drinks and there was nothing. The ice took up the entire glass of each drink I ordered. Sure, they made the drinks elegant. Super showy and decadent.. but 3 sips and that was it! That is not an over exaggeration. The flat bread was also 4 small slices to the whole thing. It was yummy, but half the size. I understand happy hour food specials do typically come smaller but the drinks just really got me. This place must be making bank from providing minimal of everything during happy hour. You also pay $10 for vallet and my friend parked her own car in the very front. Also a rip off. I understand for other cars where there is service provided but that was super offputting for my friend to park her own car in the front and then pay. Overall, I get the vibe, but not their happy hour. It just didnt do it for the both of us. Maybe I need to come during regular hours when the drinks are made at a normal size. Leaving off on a good note. Service was very friends from entering to leaving. I appreciate and acknowledg that they do have experienced staff. Great work on that end! read more

Sante, IS THE place to be!! Let me teeeelll you! It's new, so trust the work in progress. Highly recommended to make reservations, luckily my friends were able to get serviced in a section.. and our server was cool enough to let us stay! We stayed for about 45 minutes and the music started to get louder.. heads up. The tunes were IT! I wasn't complaining about the type of music at all, just that it gets harder to hear your friends. They have an amazing charcuterie board!! And fantasticccccc lemon drop shots!!! MUST ORDER read more

This is a great classy upscale cocktail bar/club on weekend nights. My girlfriends and I came here on a Saturday night for drinks and it was BUSYYY but we had a fun time. There are no self parking, just valet for $10. The drinks were good, music was good with a live DJ and dancers on the bar and very chic classy decor. Loved the vibes here. We came here just for drinks so we didn't need a reservation and there was no cover charge. I definitely will be coming back. read more

I was racially profiled here by the bouncer - I recommend that you never go here! Even one of the bouncers said that the bouncer that denied me entrance was out of line. The only reason I say it was racially motivated is because the woman in front of me was let in but I was not and we had on the same things but he said her things seemed designer. I asked to speak to a manager and he said he was the manger of the door. He said the other managers were in a meeting. read more

If you live in Houston, you know what the 2026 Valentine's Day storms did to traffic. I made a 9:00 PM reservation at Santé. I live in Fulshear. I booked a car service to get us there safely. Major storms rolled in. Traffic was gridlocked across the city. We arrived at 9:22 PM. Seven minutes past their grace window (which I totally acknowledged, but under the circumstances, I would expect a bit more understanding and compassion, especially on Valentine's Day). The host met (not greeted), us at the door and told us our table was given away. I explained I had called twice. No answer, no attempt to work with us despite a citywide weather event (I showed them my phone logs where I called twice, but the staff was dismissive and rude). Their solution: * Wait until 10:30 something will open up. * Stand at the bar and "take a look around". * Or, leave and forfeit the $100 deposit. After planning. After booking a car service. After calling ahead. This was not a minor inconvenience. It was embarrassing. It was dismissive. It showed zero customer focus. They kept the $100 deposit because they could not answer their phone and would not extend seven minutes during a major storm. If you value: * Basic hospitality. * Communication. * Accountability. * Respect for your time and money. Choose another bar. Houston has plenty of places that understand service. Santé is not one of them. Spend your money where it is appreciated. read more

Devon was incredibly personable and made absolute magic behind the bar--every drink was spot-on and delicious. He as well as Kay had warm, friendly energy made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in.

We came for happy hour and drinks and flatbreads had an awesome deal! $5 martinis, $7 cocktails, and $10 flat breads. Everything we got was delicious! The bar and outdoor area was beautifully set up. Free valet during happy hour but otherwise parking (if not valet) is not great. Taking away 1 star because service was subpar. Our bartender was great but he definitely needed more help as the bar was full but it seemed that he was servicing way more people than he was able read more

RE: 20% auto gratuity on ALL checks. I enjoyed this lounge so much but will probably never go back unless someone else is paying. Their cauliflower crust flatbreads are the best! The crust is indistinguashable and you wouldnt know it was cauliflower if it wasnt on the menu. The lounge itself is dark and moody - perfect for a date night. However if you want to catch up with friends at some place thats cute and trendy its perfect for that too. Also they give all ladies who come solo a rose which was such a sweet touch. I want to stress that we had no issues when we visisted - everything went right. However I can still complain about their gratuity policy - which is 20% on ALL checks. And by all, I mean party of 1 or party of 10 will all be assessed 20%. Whether you have a wonderful experience or a lackluster one, that'll be 20% please. As we've already uncovered tipping culture has gotten out of control and its because of policies like this. The night I visisted I would have certainly tipped 18-20% because the bartenders were awesome, the food was tasty and the ambiance was giving. But to ASSUME that Im going to have a great night and automatically help yourself to the highest customary percentage is extremely presumptuous on their part. I understand mandatory gratuity when you have a large table but we were just 2 people seated at the bartop. As someone who waited tables for years no one understands the sting of a bad tipper more than me. But thats just part of the job. You get horrible tips, you get overtipped - its part of the cost of doing business. To attempt to safegaurd your bartenders from losses at my expense seems a little aggressive and is enough to make me never patronize this place again. I'll determine how I spend my money, thank you. read more

Unfortunately, the experience did not match the number of automatic charges. We were charged for valet, yet four attendants were standing on their phones and did not open the passenger door or greet us. Inside, the host made no effort to accommodate or welcome us. In addition to a 20% automatic gratuity, there was a 5% venue fee and a $20 reservation fee. I don't mind paying fees when service reflects it, but it did not. The food was underwhelming and the drinks were just passable. It felt like the restaurant was selling ambience more than quality or service -- and I've honestly received more attentive service at Cheesecake Factory. Disappointing overall. read more

Beautiful vibes and potentially very crowded if you go at peak times. Parking is valet only. The fruit of the earth is their most visually stunning cocktail, as there is a bit of a fire show involved, and it is very tasty. The bar area can get extremely packed, so it can be hard to order. At around 11pm, they remove the chairs to allow more people to be packed in that area. The DJ and entertainment were excellent. Would highly recommend getting a table to bypass needing to order at the bar. read more

Definitely be on time for your reservation because they fill up fast! They do give a 15 minutes grace period but after that you'll lose it. Even without reservation, it's still nice. The only thing is having no place to sit until someone leaves the bar. bathrooms are clean. Very classy. Dj was good that night too. read more

Brought a large party of about 20 people here for a birthday celebration. They were pretty accommodating, the ambience and venue is absolutely stunning. My only complaint is that they were not places to set the food that you ordered. Made it a little bit difficult, especially for a large party to be able to sit, eat, and have drinks, space and food. read more
