Santé

Four of us celebrated my birthday last evening and had a very memorable experience. The restaurant was very busy for a Tuesday, yet the service was impeccable and the food was outstanding! Chef Adam is a force to be hold. He cooked last night on his birthday! He and his wife opened Sante in 2001, and their dedication to excellence has allowed them to flourish all these years. It is the best kept secret in downtown Matthews!

Very disappointing. Three out of the four of us were told our entrées from the standard menu were sold out and was during regular dinner hours. Probably should maintain your menu items before having multiple specials. The food we did order was just average. If you're looking for French food, I'd just go to uptown or even Cafe Monte in Southpark. Not even a comp'd dessert to apologize to the table, which shows service didn't even care.

This place is awesome! Great service, wonderful ambiance and exquisite food entrees. Wines were very good too! Plenty of bourbon and spirits. Desserts were so gooooood! Would recommend highly. Reservations required. I ordered the sea scallops with Israeli couscous. Delicious!

Wednesday night I went to Sante in downtown Matthews with one of my besties. It's a French inspired restaurant that is cute, quaint and just full of character ‍I had the pan seared farms chicken with garlic mash. I also got a side of truffle mac and cheese. No joke this was the best meal I have had thus far in Charlotte. Our waiter was quirky and really made our night enjoyable.I've been going to a lot of restaurants in the city so it was nice to eat somewhere outside the city and support a small local business

True local fine dining in Matthews, NC. Beautiful restraunt with paintings all over the walls with a warm cozy vibe. Food was fresh and phenomenal. The team small yet mighty was super friendly and attentive.

Food was excellent and ambiance and staff were even better! I was able to pay for my parents anniversary dinner in advance and they were given the royal treatment! Everything was done without asking which made it even better. They truly wanted my parents to have a special time and they absolutely did

This is our second time here - very good. The service at this place is outstanding - they do an excellent job of suggesting things and talking with you. Lawrence was outstanding. We had a filet and the swordfish special with risotto - all of it was cooked perfectly.

LOVED. 5/5. 10/10. However you want to put it, it was just fantastic.Beautifully decorated for the Holidays, Sante provides the perfect intimate setting for a date night or special occasion. Our dating anniversary just so happens to be right around Christmas so what a perfect time to try this cozy little family owned spot in the cute downtown Matthews. You definitely need reservations because it is small inside. Everything is made from scratch using local seasonal ingredients and most of it comes from the Matthew's Farmers Market across the street! Fresh bread is delivered to your table along with dipping oil that was splendid. The features included she crab soup, French onion soup, and a venison dish which you don't see offered in restaurants very often. The venison was perfectly cooked and we were blown away by how TENDER it was! I ordered the CAB filet which was good, I just wish there was more of the gorgonzola butter on top to have more in each bite. Everything from the intimate setting, to the wait staff, to the delicious food and interesting wine, was truly fantastic! I looked at my husband and said - we have to come back here.

This place has GREAT food and GREAT service.Honestly, the weak point for me is the cocktails. But it's definitely one of the best places in Matthews. It's a cozy place that is fancy enough for a date but not so much that you feel out of place.

They did it again! We absolutely love this place. This time we sat out back and they had enough fans going so it was comfortable during summer. Service was great per usual. I love the Pinot noir options and the fact that they use fresh muddled cherries in their old fashioned. Chef made me some dairy free blacked grouper and my bf had the chicken dish.
