Santos Anne

My girlfriend and I have been coming here for years. This place is amazing, best margaritas in NYC! Amazing ceviche, burgers, great selection of beers! I would highly recommend. The happy hour is great, every Wednesday all day happy hour, Saturday’s and Sunday’s from 5:00pm –7:30pm! I wish I could give 10 stars to this place! Amazing customer service and great atmosphere!!!

AWESOME SPOT. Great vibe. Interesting food. Highly recommend for date night or with the fam. Very cozy, clean, and COOL.

Here as I write. First time here. Yes on NYE and WOW female bartender cool hair cut she’s awesome. Not only the bartender but the other 3 GENTS here are super cool. Their very friendly and make you feel comfortable. The drinks are nice. I had Irish coffee, and their hot cider spiked with sailor jerry is amazing and I’m not one to drink anything cider. Tonight is a prefixed dinner and so far checking out everyone’s plates, customer service it’s 100% wonderful. The place is dim indoor and outdoor area which pleases everyone. Been here for about 2 hours and I’ll def come back and hope everyone who tries it out enjoys it. HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE. As I extend this review I’m having an amazing time. Even if the employees are just using their skills to attract customers my goodness they are good.

This little cozy French –Mexican restaurant carries mostly innovative Mexican-​flavored items with a French style touch. The dishes we had were very tasty and impressive. The ambience was relaxing and vibrant and the service was warm and friendly.
It also has a good selection of wine. I gave a five star review because in terms of cost and profit value, it is certainly well worth the trip and experience.

My favorite place to eat in Brooklyn! I always get the duck breast, salmon, ceviche, escargot, risotto, calamari and chocolate cake! Place is so cozy and service is great. Staff there is so nice and patient. I plan on celebrating my bday there. Love this place.

Great patio with an beautiful tree, amazing margaritas!!! I had the Mexican tartar with French fries, delicious! My wife had egg florentine, great too! We were already in love with their other restaurant «pates et traditions»! We love this one too! New favorite spot

Went there for an anniversary dinner, was not impressed. Who puts melted mozzarella cheese on fajitas?
The tacos were okay, risotto was cooked badly and the fajitas were bland with no sour cream or pico.
Had the «mezcow mule», just tasted like straight vodka with a lime.
Don’t believe the hype, this place is nauseating.

HUGE fan of this spot. Food aside, it has an unbelievable ambience that makes you love it the second you enter. Service is very friendly and inviting. If you walk through the restaurant, there’s a large outdoor patio/​garden in the back that is just adorable and very well decorated with lights strung and a bunch of tables out there. It’s a great spot for a date or hanging out with friends alike. Not sure how this changes in cold weather, but for the summer I can vouch that it’s spectacular.
Food is delicious. I had the mushroom risotto, which comes to your table completely flambéed…so beware that it will be steaming hot for a good 10 minutes. You’ll just be smelling it and wishing you could eat it and will likely end up jumping the gun and burning your tongue like me.

Amazing food at honest prices in a beautiful garden. That sums it up. We were a table of 8 for a birthday party and they were very accommodating of us honoring the reservation and taking our cake and serving it at no extra charge. Always politely and friendly.
Appetizers: Calamari and Guacamole were fresh and delicious! Guac could use a bit more salt, but that was easily fixed at the table.
Food: Everything was top notch. Beef Tartar, Shrimp Risotto, Seafood Cassoulet, Tacos and Burger (coma inducing, so beware).
Will be back!

Has a cute outdoor seating area in the back. We sat on stage area over looking the dinning space. The employees are nice and very friendly. Good drinks. Good food. My friend had onion soup and kale salad with seafood and chorizo and I had escargot and ceviche margarita. Everything came to a total of 62 $ including tax. Not bad.

I’m a regular for brunch and dinner at Santos Anne. It’s an underrated gem in the area. The back outdoor area is just great, the food is solid, and the staff is friendly and on point.
Brunch– bloody marys in a nice big glass, it’s all good but Croque Mexicano with egg all the way, chicken chilaquiles for something different
Dinner: steak tartare, salmon burger a must (seriously best one ever with a chipotle mayo crack sauce), duck burger is they don’t skimp on the duck, oh and the guac is chunk, fresh with chips def not from a bag (made there?).

This is the second restaurant for my good French friend the other located at Havemeyer and North 6^th. I follow him because he knows good food and and wonderful inviting atmsphere!
This is magnifique! Great food great drinks and a lovely patio!
This is a must, yummy!

Didn’t expect Mexican-​French fusion! What fun! The place I’ve been looking for since I’ve lived in the area because it has an awesome back yard and up front there was live music on Sunday night!
A few mosquito bites didn’t deter me from loving the place. The food was pretty good, I’ve had better French and Mexican but overall I was not disappointed.
We had first, the shrimp and pineapple guacamole (spicy!) which means several bites tastes like pineapple and several bites tastes solely of jalapeño! Not the best guacamole I’ve ever had big definitely not bad. Could have used salt. Good chips.
We got the duck tacos with tangy sauce and goat cheese. Mmmmmmmmm. Could have come with a side at $ 12 for 2 but they were juicy and tasty!
Then the infamous Mexican steak tartare. Interesting. For some reason my foodie boyfriend was expecting a raw egg on top but I assured him not all steak tartare comes with a raw egg lol. It had jalapeños in it (as we had the choice of spicy or not) and came with an awesome dark greens (arugula, baby kale, etc in an awesome vinaigrette) and amazing French fries. The quality of the meat was awesome and with a bit of Cholula, it was pretty darn flavorful.
The drinks we got were
–ginger and st. Germaine margarita
–habanero and lavender margarita.
Both very good. Didn’t exactly taste the lavender but oh well.
Overall we hot 2 drinks, two «entrees» and an appetizer for $ 31+tip each. Not that bad! Pretty interesting tasty food! Would come back if not for the food, definitely for the backyard ambience.

Liked: The cozy Mexican/​dive-​bar feel, the hospitable staff that reconfigured their whole front bar to fit our big group at the table, the live music wafting in from the back-​yard.
Just meh: The food itself. So much good Mexican food around the States, but this wasn’t up there at all. Also the waiter put down a whole bunch of guacamole dip no one ordered and we thought was complimentary… they were not. That old trick.
If I was in the neighborhood again I’d grab a beer and listen to some tunes out the back, but eat elsewhere.

Loved it. Romantic. Cozy. Cute. Adorable courtyard. Live music. Interesting fusion menu. What’s not to love. I had a lavender jalapeño margarita which was delicious and perfectly spicy. I had the veggie tacos without the goat cheese and they were great. I added pineapple for a sweet addition. Super reasonable and a great time. We Weill definitely be back!

The backyard is so adorable and the atmosphere totally reminds me of the dinner Jess and Celine had with the family in Greece in the movie Before Midnight. I loved my cucumber cocktail– super refreshing and great for a lazy summer night. The octopus ceviche was delicious– the octopus was not overly chewy and perfectly seasoned with a good amount of sweet and sour. I literally wanted to try everything on their menu because they all sounded amazing! I ordered duck taco yesterday and it was fabulous. The goat cheese was slightly warmed up by the meat and the softness and creaminess was like heaven. It would be perfect if I could add some dried cranberries or sliced almond to the taco to give some crunchiness texture to the whole thing. But overall, the food, the drinks, and the atmosphere definitely make it a five-​star place!

I love this place. The food is a bit eclectic but freaking delicious. Apparently the owner is from France but the head Chef is Mexican, so they collaborated. Which resulted in a menu that features duck tacos, fois grois covered gnocchi, SEDUCTIVE guacamole and several rich cuts of steak. ALL of the margaritas are incredible (ask about the seasonal!), but, the bartenders have clearly mastered the classic marg, made from scratch. This is a family owned business that’s clearly run by a small staff that seems to legitimately enjoy each other. It’s great for a date, a party, or solo.
Hint: I think their garden is open now! It’s an amazing escape from the city! Check this place out.

I’m in the hospitality industry and as such I prefer service that is attentive, intuitive, but not overly attentive.
I love the service here, the food, it’s always consistent!
Tips: margarita ceviche, seafood kale salad, merguez taco, escargot, puebla steak, salmón & beef burger.
Go early and get great happy hour specials.
Live music and celebs from time to time.
A demain!

So in love with this cozy little gem! It’s my fourth time here and I must say that it has made the list of my favorite eateries in NY. This restaurant has such a warm, welcoming staff whom are very knowledge with almost every item I’ve inquired about on the menu. It has great ambiance and a perfect spot for a date night.
My drink of choice was the fleur spritz —
–Bombay sapphire
–rose water
–st Germaine
–belvoir elderflower lemonade
It was fresh, not too sweet and very much enjoyable.
My ultimate favorite dish —
kale salad with chorizo, octopus, tomatoes and calamari
This dinner choice is just simply remarkable! It’s under the appetizer list, but the portion size is huge and so filling! It comes with an anchovy dressing that is absolutely amazing! If you don’t like kale or shun away from greens when it comes time to ordering dinner, I highly highly recommend this dish — trust me you won’t regret it.
For dessert, I had the strawberry and banana Nutella crêpe which was pretty good and a great ending for my o’ so satisfied tummy ;)
The owner was present and I must say he got the award for the 3 A’s — awesome, amicable, and accommodating.
And, they have a live jazz band that performs — - awesomeeeee sauceeee!!!
All in all, Santos Anne — FIVE STARS. Great service, amazing drinks, and delectable food options — I mean what more could you possibly for!?! :)

I wanted to like this place SO bad. The ambiance is just out of this world charming, with the back patio being the highlight of our evening. They have a large lovely tree in the center that they surrounded with wood for a table, a small porch with a vintage lamp, another seating area with a canopy covered in greenery, ambient lighting everywhere– it’s a relaxing and warm environment that I enjoyed being in.
And while others have mentioned having trouble with the service, my waitress ended up being awesome. Tall thin blonde woman who was attentive and funny.
But the food and drinks didn’t do it for us.
My friends mojito was ridiculous, I’ve never seen a drink made like this before. They cut up a whole lime and put it in there– they must have. It tasted like nothing else but limes, we counted at least 4 slices in the glass that we could see, and lime debris ended up clogging up the straw making it undrinkable. Why not just drink it straight out of the glass then? Because there was such an abundance of muddled mint that my friend said, «I don’t want to have to chew my drink». Seriously. My Planters Punch tasted vaguely medicinal and overly tangy. Neither of the drinks came with ice so they were also lukewarm.
The best part of the meal were my friends Merguez taco– lamb sausage tacos with onions, avocado, and a little chipotle salsa. These were delicious, though we both thought they tasted more like pork than lamb, but neither of us have had much lamb sausage so maybe this isn’t unusual. My octopus ceviche was kinda hard to eat, didn’t enjoy it. It comes in a bowl with what amounts to pico de galo, and it makes up most of the dish. It was overpowering, too much honey, too much oil, way too tangy.
My friends pork brochette was overcooked and too sweet. My steak brochette was cooked very nicely but was completely overpowered by thyme to the point that you couldn’t taste the meat. Both dishes came with comically large chunks of meat on a single skewer. My dish said it was cooked with mushrooms, his with apples, and on each of our skewers these were only present in single pieces at both ends. The plates were also very crowded with the skewer, fries, and unnecessary salad that made the whole thing difficult to maneuver.
I’m also not sure why they consider themselves French. Besides offering escargot and a foie gras sauce, there’s no nods to French culture or cuisine, it’s not even fusion. It’s more of a modern, interpretative take on Mexican considering the ingredients, drinks, and décor.
Unfortunately despite the lovely atmosphere and service I won’t be back. Two drinks, two appetizers, and two entrees came to $ 80 before tip– definitely not worth it. I think if they switched to just small plates and focused more on the craftsmanship of their drinks they could be a lovely spot.
