    Old fashioned... i think

    Sante Cocktail Bar & Lounge has a stylish atmosphere with beautiful décor and a friendly staff that made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The cocktails were well-made and enjoyable, although they are definitely on the pricier side. The overall vibe leans toward a luxury nightlife scene where many guests seem to enjoy showcasing their lifestyle. There was plenty of bottle service, and I noticed bartenders clipping cash tips to their clothing, which seemed to highlight generous tippers and added to the flashy atmosphere. It wasn't necessarily a negative, but it definitely contributes to the type of experience the lounge is going for. To me, Sante feels like it's aiming for a blend of a Miami lounge and a New York City nightlife vibe, right in Houston. The DJ kept the music going, though I thought it was just okay. If you're looking for an upscale place to dress up, enjoy good cocktails, and experience a high-energy, luxury nightlife scene, Sante is worth checking out. If you're looking for a more laid-back cocktail lounge, the atmosphere may not be the best fit.

    I still love this spot . The service is always nice . The lady bartenders are very sweet. I love the outside area . Very beautiful .. gives a feeling of being out of town . Will always be a fav bar of mine

    Vibe: Grown and sexy. Heels required for the ladies. $10 valet Drinks: Our bartender killed it. The cocktail "The Dream" was amazing. Highly recommend. 9/10. Fruits of the earth was huge but tasted like juice (came with a little show). A little too big to be holding.

    Sante is a chic, cocktail bar/lounge located in Upper Kirby neighborhood. It's best to probably uber here or they have valet service as well. The ambiance is very lively and always a good time. I've been here a couple times for happy hour and at night as well. Service is actually really good for a bar that's always busy. The waitresses check in often and bring drinks quickly. I've tried the picante drink, fruits of earth (pineapple and pass fruit mix so it's sweet), an expresso martini here. I enjoyed it all! The happy hour specials are a great way to try out the menu $7 cocktails, $5 martinis, discounted caviar service at $47. It's a great place for happy hour with friends or a stop when out bar hopping around town.

    As soon as you walk in, the place is absolutely amazing- so beautiful! We went around 7:30 PM, and it was just getting started, with great music, a lively crowd, and awesome energy at the bar. The service from the moment you walk in is superb. Sophia (front person staff) helped us out and was very knowledgeable, showing us all the seating options indoors and even walking us outside. Lauren was also fantastic, introducing us to both the drinks and the food and making you have a very unique experience! And Alex, our bartender, was absolutely great. The music was a total vibe, loud enough to enjoy, but not so loud that you can't have a conversation (live Dj). I highly recommend sitting at the bar; the service feels more personal, and it's a great way to meet people. Parking was a little confusing at first, but we figured it out. Valet is only $10, which is super convenient, but you can also find street parking around the restaurant if you prefer. Overall, the place is amazing, the food is great, the drinks were amazing and the staff made the experience even better. Houston, you've got a real gem in your city.

    Sante!!! Wow, I had such an incredible experience here for a Friday HH. I did not make a reservation, but it was a chilly afternoon around 5:00pm and decided to take my chances. We were directed to a high top, and the vibe was exactly what I was hoping for. It was lively without feeling chaotic. Think large bar, beautiful chandeliers, great energy but not clubby. It felt like the perfect spot for a little date or an early evening with the girls where you actually want to get dressed up and have a real conversation. The HH is a win. Five dollar mini martinis and ten dollar flatbreads felt more than fair and fun to explore the menu. The lychee martini and the espresso martini were both standouts. The staff was fun, conversational, and elevated the experience by bringing over a few complimentary drinks for us to try, which made it feel extra special. I chose to valet for ten dollars just to keep things easy, and for the location and overall experience it felt fair. If I had one small note, it would be that the cocktails lean more flavor forward than alcohol strong. After a few, I did not necessarily feel like I had been drinking much, which wasn't a bad thing (they are just that smooth and easy to sip!). I cannot wait to come back and experience it again, but highly recommend as an early happy hour stop to kick off your evening!

    CUTEST AMBIENCE EVER My absolute favorite thing about this place is how they put the flowers in their cocktails to dress it up ... the cutest thing ever! And then they LIGHT IT UP. For food, the flatbreads were so dayum DELICIOUS. We got the Frida - chorizo hit the spot omg! The guacamole was spectacular as always - the pomegranate seeds made it especially sPeCiAl. I definitely am looking forward in returning - to try their hazelnut brown butter bourbon. It's forever on my mind hahaha.

    Santé on a Friday night is a vibe! It's sophisticated and lively. Our bartender was absolutely phenomenal. She is truly exceptional at her craft. Our cocktails were amazing. Make sure you come dressed appropriately. The dress code is strictly enforced.

    The food and drinks were absolutely delicious. I ordered the pepperoni cauliflower flatbread and a lychee martini during happy hour The ambiance & decor of Santé was also nice. I would recommend dressing up. A few friends says it's a nice vibe in the evening so I plan to go back.

    First off....learn about tequilas & whiskeys/bourbons! Because for the price of a drink the words 'Jim Beam' should never be uttered! Let's start with - recommended by our dinner waitress.... NO parking so $10 to valet required.... It was about $25 a drink and my margarita was served the old fashioned champagne stems (yesterday the ones that hold 4 oz of liquid).....for $25? And it wasn't even that great and their tequila selection was sub par for a typical bar. Then my husband orders an old fashioned and had 3 whiskeys/bourbons to chose from (JB, Woodford, or Bullet) that's it????? The ambience could have been cool, the decor and design inside and on the patio was awesome. But we had one drink and said let's leave! Neither was worth $50 and at that price & size you would have to spend $300 each to even get a buzz.

    Hopefully not too soon to speak, but this is probably one of the top bars in Houston right now. Women get in, but men usually need to pay to get in. Reserving a table costs an arm and a leg, but that's the price of being Houston bougie. Atmosphere is beautiful. The bar is beautiful, the DJ area is beautiful, the people are beautiful, and it feels like a tropical escape in the patio area. The food is meh, but not bad. Tends to be very busy on weekends. Valet parking is a lot, but there are a lot of side streets as well to attempt parking. Always an enjoyable experience here. House music overall with an occasional violinist!

    In my opinion, Sante is the most beautiful bar in Houston. The space is dreamy & chic, the ambiance is grown & sexy. It was my first time here. Upon walking in we noticed the bar seats were all taken, not surprising ofcourse for a Saturday night. We didn't have a reservation but the hosts were very kind and accomodating and were able to offer us a table for two. The presentation of their cocktails is impressive but they are also strong (no skimping on alcohol here) and the food was delicious! We ordered a flat bread and it was bigger than I expected but fresh & so glad we ordered it. I believe there may be time limits on tables, not sure if that's everyday or just weekends but we were asked to close out our tab for the next party maybe after an hour & a half. I didn't mind as we were lucky to even get a table without a reservation but a heads up would've been nice so we could've ordered quicker & had more time to enjoy our food and drinks. The DJ was great, we thouroghly enjoyed the music and mixes, they even have a violinist, Jacob, and he is amazing!! He serenaded me and although I am probably old enough to be his mom he sure made me feel special. This was by far the highlight of my night. Jacob is very talented and certainly adds to the charm at Sante. The valet was busy when we arrived but especially when we left, we must've waited 15 minutes on our car. Nonetheless, our experience was great and I will certainly be back!

    Super vibey, upscale spot to grab top notch, IG worthy drinks. Vibe is more bougie/loungey/sophisticated so get your cute clothes on. We visited on saturday night post dinner. I snagged reservations in advanced which require a deposit. (The deposit can be refunded or applied towards the bill). The biggest question for me was where to reserve -- so your options -- Overall the space is not giant so you won't be missing out on anything at any of the spots -- first choice is in or out (in my mom's mom voice)!! --- Inside - - loungey/moody vibes with a dj type music. --- Outside -- super cute but more like rooftop bar vibes (minus the rooftop) you can't really here what's going on inside but they have music of course. Lots more causal sitting and ability to move around -- Verde Room tables - these are kinda out of the main room vibes. Good if you want to just be with your crew or maybe entertaining a group so you can focus -- Fire place - cozy spots for more of a date night vibe. Near the entrance so could feel a little in the way -- Olive tree table - i really liked this spot. cozy but more space for a crew and still in the mix. Super cute. High tops -- these area is at the furthest end of the indoor space closest to the patio. Nice for like friend group vibes and would give you bit of a vantage point. DJ - kinda a long couch so cool but not if you are trying to chat with the crew. more like observe in a line Patio -- see above. worth checking out. we actually ended up out here because we were cold inside. A must see - - get the crew, snag the resys and get your fancy drinks on!

    The outdoor area is very cute for pictures. There are cabana's on the side as well for reservations, and fans to keep you cool!

We Ubered over, so I didn't pay attention to the parking situation. Ambiance (3.5/5): Five Central is big! There's a big restaurant, a cigar lounge, a huge patio, and more. While we dined at the restaurant, it seems like there's a ton to check out here. They often will host live music too as I saw some ads about it while I was in the restroom. Service (4.5/5): Our waitress was great. She was friendly, attentive, and she went above and beyond. They brought me the wrong side, and I told her it was okay, but she ended up bringing me the right side a few minutes later. Which meant my meal had three sides instead of the two it came with. I really appreciated that! Drinks (4/5): Five Central has a good list of cocktails and more, but I wasn't in the mood for alcohol, so I went with a Shirley Temple lol. That brought me back. One of my favorite beverages as a kid. They were out of maraschino cherries, but we made it work. Food (4/5): We started off by splitting the coconut curry wings and the parmesan chicken bites. Out of the two appetizers, the chicken bites were my favorite. They were fried just right, crispy, while still tender inside. The sauce smothered on top made the dish. The wings, on the other hand, while flavorful, were a bit small. Still good though. With that being said, the star of the evening was my entree: the fried chicken. Fried chicken is either going to be a hit or a miss... here, it's definitely a hit. Crispy and well-seasoned on the outside, juicy and tender inside. Served with a sweet hot sauce, Texas toast, and your choice of two sides. I went with fries and mashed potatoes. The sides were just as good. The mashed potatoes were a buttery heaven and the fries were crisp and you could tell they weren't frozen. It's a generous portion size, too! I ate half and took the rest to-go. If you're looking for some Southern cooking, with love, Five Central is an awesome spot.

The space is visually striking, layered, and honestly just a cool place to sit, soak it in, and be part of the scene. It feels like something Anthony Bourdain would've paused to appreciate that raw, curated vibe that promises more than just a meal. We ordered a spread: chicken wraps, fried chicken, a couple of Ketel One drinks, and finished things off with red velvet cake and bread pudding. On paper, it reads like a lineup that should hit. In reality, it landed somewhere in the middle. Nothing was bad but nothing really sang either. The fried chicken had the right idea but didn't quite deliver that crave-worthy punch. The wraps were fine, the desserts decent, and the drinks did their job. It all felt... acceptable. Like the kitchen understood the assignment but didn't fully commit to it. What stood out most was the contrast the menu is ambitious, the atmosphere pulls you in, but the food doesn't quite translate that same energy to the plate. It's the kind of place you want to love more than you actually do. That said, it's still a solid spot to check out, especially for the vibe and the experience. Just don't walk in expecting fireworks think more along the lines of a slow burn. Overall, I'd call it a decent restaurant that leans more on its aesthetic than its execution.

It came on a bed of sauce that was flavorful with fresh veggies but it did not go well with the steak. Perhaps chicken would've suited better. The steak itself was dry and quite chewy. For dessert we had the carrot cake tres leches which was decent. The carrot cake flavor was there but the moisture from the cake was not fully spread in the cake. Overall nothing here was bad but with the plethora of restaurants in the Houston area I can't justify recommending or returning.
