Santo Lounge in Southampton

Been here near enough a hundred times. Never disappoints.

I came on the 4th Nov. Really lovely place, the staff are excellent and were very attentive, i ordered and went out to say hi to an old friend and they went out their way to put a reserve sign on my table, they also offered to reheat my food and added additional touches to my dish. Its these kind attentive aspects that make it 100% so thank you guys, big respect :D

Great breakfast muffin and coffee

Great food, can order via an app. Nice cocktail selection and they seem to use local ingredients. Nice place to have lunch or dinner with friends with some cocktails.

Great place. Great vibes. Johnathan the general manager was really great and accommodating!

Portions seem to have got smaller. The burger and chips plus small amount of slaw seemed lost on the plate

One of my top favourite places! Friendly and relaxing. Food and drink always great! Love it here.

Some amazing tapas, child friendly but not catered just to young family good selection of wine bars and cocktails perfectly priced for the quality

Lovely food & drink. Staff very polite & nothing is to much trouble for them.

Great place with a great menu - lots of options for vegetarians, vegans and those with intolerances. Every member of staff has always been attentive and friendly, and they cater well for Children. We go about once a month or two and we've never had a bad time or had bad food.

Brilliant, will definitely use gain.

Delicious food, pizza was one of the best we had in London, friendly staff.

Go here fairly often for drinks, occasionally food. Staff are so lovely. Dog friendly. Delicious food, including various dietary. coffee & milkshakes.

Amazing food and coffee to die for! Plus fun and friendly staff you can have hearty banter with.

Love the Lounges! We always find Santo in particular super friendly! I would highly recommend the tapas great choice and always top notch!

I went here with friends for breakfast. The food is always good and hot. The staff are friendly and helpful. Very relaxing atmosphere. The Vito lounge in Fareham is just as good.

Food wasn't particularly hot, which is a shame as been to other lounges and it's been perfect. Staff very friendly.

Fantastic dining experience! The food was amazing, and the service was even better. The young blonde lady who served us was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and really went above and beyond to make our visit special.

Always a nice place to pop into for a drink or food

The food is nothing special. Neutral flavors, nothing stands out, and the portions are small. The price is expensive for what it offers, a simple meal that one could make at home.

Very nice bar/restaurant, good food and reasonable prices. Great burgers.

I've been to Santo for dinner before last year and was so happy I decided to return twice recently as we're always made to feel very welcomed, the food is delicious & goid vegan/vegetarian options. The only slight drawback is the noise can be a bit too much at times inside however there is an option to sit outside when the weather is warmer.

Our regular family go to. The whole menu is good and the staff are always pleasant. Highly recommend carrabian curry and the tapas

I’ve never been here but I keep on getting phone calls from here?? Please explain

Tapas Tuesday is a good choice!

Brilliant food and options to fit dietary restrictions like vegan and gluten-free. Certainly played a crucial role in wooing my gf gf!

Foods good nothing spectacular but good.

This place is always amazing, but I wanted to specifically review today. I asked if I could get extra maple marscapone for the pancakes (it's so good!), and even though there wasn't a way to put it through on the till, the manager figured out how to charge me for it, made sure I got it, and then told me how to make sure I can get it in the future. That was so lovely of her, and it made a great experience even better! Would definitely recommend :)

Fantastic evening with work colleagues. And it's quiz night on Wednesdays, highly recommend it get there early.

Went here for lunch. Food is excellent, reasonably priced. Service is really quick and the atmosphere is great. Will definitely be coming back!

Super busy on a Monday lunchtime , noone even attempted to give any customer service , just got told to "find a seat and use the qr to order" Ordered the philly cheese steak ciabatta , barely any filling seen as I payed over £10 . It was edible but won't be coming back.

A surprise find in Shirley, food was excellent, burger, Singapore Nassan Gora & brunch dishes all served at 1ish. Must go back soon.

If you like aubergine Moroccan Aubergine was great!

Always a good experience. Friendly staff and great food.

Great atmosphere, awesome staff, quick service, vegan options and good beer selection! Can’t go wrong!

Decent place to visit for a meal. Great location, exceptionally friendly and informative staff, tasty food and most importantly short waiting time. Definitely recommend.

Was busy which was surprising, food was OK, a little cold , and the coffee was barely luke warm, I wouldn't return.

Great service and a pleasant place to go to

Food a burger was FANTASTIC plus the fries were excellent as well

Good vegan menu as well as omnivore

Excellent food and service with just the right atmosphere.

The whole atmosphere has changed in Santo Lounge, lovely staff, friendly and happy 😊. It's now our latest place for girlie coffee and catch ups x

Nice to go somewhere where the customer's needs are put first and the food is top notch,great service.

Lovely place. Lovely people. The barman with the wonderful mustache really liked after my wife and I on our anniversary. Popped in for a few drinks and he (I apologise as i have forgotten his name) and all the staff were lovely and very welcoming. Highly recommended for a quiet drink or food or with friends and family x x

Brilliant place to chill after busy day at work or weekend day to relax

Great pub in the middle of Shirley. Lovely food and atmosphere 👌

Great food 🥞🥓☕️, fantastic cosy atmosphere (books to read), helpfull staff 👍😁, big 👍👍👍 for free ladies supplies in the loo 🚻

Everything was fine. Happy to frequently again. 👍

We came for tapas and ordered a wide selection which tasted awesome and were both light and filling at the same time. The service was great as always, very friendly.

Good coffee and tasty food in one of the nicest place you can find in Shirley.

They have a mix of options to get indulged Very polite staff Must try banoffee cheesecake !

Satisfactory offer from this lounge bar. Pleasant enough

Beautiful place, tried their burger and Nasi goreng, really good and tasty! I love their elderflower drink!

Always enjoy my visits to Santo Lounge. I've never been disappointed

Loveliest staff, very accommodating to a big group with kids. Only criticism is the music was too loud, and we couldnt really have a conversation.

Very good place to relax and enjoy a bite to eat

breakfast for two, 9Am on a Friday. Custom order and gluten free dealt with easily. Plenty of choice on the menu. PLeasant staff.

My first visit although my partner and friends had been before to this one and the others in the chain and recommended it. Went for "Tapas Tuesdays" - 3 tapas and a glass of wine for £11.95. The table we were given was in the middle and right on top of other people - when one became vacant we moved to one with more space at the side. You have to order on their app on your phone which is fine but it seemed to struggle with the Tapas Tuesdays deal and we had to ask members of staff how to do it as well as what other drinks are in the deal as it wasn't made clear anywhere. We had a selection of Tapas between us and it was all delicious although some were quite small; if this is intended as a main meal you will need to add something else to your 3 tapas! Staff were friendly and helpful and they had excellent Henry Weston's Vintage Cider on draught! Would definitely return.

You order and pay upfront at the counter. The chairs and tables are awkward, a bit like what you would find in a primary school, small and uncomfortable. However, the food is good.

I meet up with some friends for a chat and coffee

This was the first visit for us. It was reasonably busy at lunchtime but we found a window seat The food was delicious and came quickly. I had the pulled beef chilli (gluten free) and my friend had a delicious chicken and mushroom soup We followed up with really good coffees and cake I'd definitely go again and have already recommended it to friends The prices are mid range but the service was excellant

Good food, nice friendly service,

Been here a few times and it’s always middle of the road if I’m honest. Stopped in today as we were hungry, place was busy as always and I like the buzz of it when it is. Walked in and the waitress wasn’t rude but wasn’t friendly either, almost like she didn’t care. I had a very enjoyable burger, but the chips or lack of needed a bigger portion. I will say my burger was hot and tasted great. Food looked like it had been chucked on my plate (see pic). I noticed the floor was as covered in bits of food scraps and general grime, hard I know when it’s busy to keep clean but an observation I made. My partner had a burger and he had less chips than me, sweet potato fries and we genuinely counted 9 fries - you pay an extra £1 for these too. For £36 we left feeling a little underwhelmed.

Food is very good. Not cheap but worth it.

Excellent vegetarian breakfast and full English breakfasts as well as the pancakes and coffees. It would be good if you could combine some of the vegetarian bits into a mix of both. The sweetcorn fritters are very good. My only gripe was the cost of the pancakes which is quite small for the price and it's quite noisy when full. A bit of sound deadening might help. But overall it was a great place to eat with a very high standard of food and drinks.

Such a lovely and cosy place to visit. Went there with my friend, had a drink and some tapas. We always used to go to Trago lounge, se company but different location I believe but this one is just as good. They have board games and also they do quiz nights as well. Perfect location if you're looking for a place to just chill out and have a good time

Great place, very busy, dogs allowed, helpful staff. Would recommend. Thank you.

Popped in for food a couple.of times now and the food was excellent both times. Good choice of drinks and a good quiz on a Wednesday night. Will definitely be back.

Lovely little place to visit. . Had tapas Tuesday did not disappoint Food was great 👍

Quick and delicious, easy order through QR code

Being taken here by my sister for the first time ever, was a complete eye opener! What a place! Only problem, my wife is in a wheelchair and the tables are quite low. Could do with a couple of tables purely for wheelchair users only perhaps?

Great food, lovely staff, nice and warm

Pretty good, but a bit of dog hair landed in my food last week. Didn't mind it, but surprised dogs are allowed in a food service area. Good burger though.

Pleasant place, pretty good food.

Always good here, great food and service. Not too expensive either. Good selection of alcoholic drinks cocktails and draught beers.

Always a good choice. Easy to order and pay on the app. Great breakfasts and dinner, never had a bad meal. It's our go to if we want food or a drink. Well done Santo.

Great vibe and decor staff very friendly food lush

Great breakfast at a reasonable price. Tapas menu looks great, will be back to try that soon.

Panini was very poor. Filling was 'slushy' and left a not pleasant aftertaste for the rest of the day. Tea was tasteless.

The staff here are always pretty good. You’re always greeted well and served with smile. Unfortunately the food has taken a turn for the worse, I’ve got to say this was the worst meal out I’ve had in 2023. An overheated microwave meal is what I was served, I’ve actually had much tastier micro meals if I’m honest. My other half had hard bread and over fried food. Come on guys, this is well under par. The food wasn’t edible really, I won’t be returning soon.

I organised a lunch for a group of friends and family at the Santo Lounge. The professionalism of the staff and the quality of the food made this an enjoyable and memorable day.

Lovely flavours on the dishes I've tried so far, can't wait for another visit.

Having tried many of the loungers places in different cities, unfortunately not the best experience. Lacked flavors in brunch options. Coffee was very bad.

I visited with my wife for a date nite, I wouldn't describe Santo Lounge as a restaurant or a pub, but just a place to get reasonably priced tasty food and a good selection of drinks. Pleasant atmosphere and good service.

Its a good cozy bar .considering the location . Its open later than everywhere else in town centre

Great gluten free and vegan options alongside the rest of their menu (good in quantity of options as well as variety) and all for a great price for a lunch or meal within today's cost of living budget.

Food is amazing. Great atmosphere.

Really nice place. The staff were friendly and the food was fantastic and something a little different. I was staying locally for work and will definitely go back if in the area again.

Visited for a breakfast and overall the service and food was decent. Coffee was good. However the toast was burnt and the beans were lumpy with some of it stuck together.

Fantastic breakfast every time! Treated my friend her for her birthday and we both really enjoyed our breakfast. The staff are friendly and attentive.

Excellent bacon/cheese burger and chips, very prompt service, quite noisy when busy at lunchtime! Been few times - never disappoints 😀

Very good atmosphere, just wish we didn't have to order at the bar instead of having our order taken at the table... Enjoyed the environment though 😌

We went to Santo Lounge in Shirley for a tea and coffee. Unfortunately the crockery that was brought to the table was quite simply dirty. The milk jug was distgusting. I don't think their dishwasher works correctly in this establishment. I complained about the state of my coffee mug, was brought another with no apologies and it was plonked on the table with no eye contact or a smile. This place was once a nice cafe, sadly not any more.

Amazing place open from early to late go go go!!!!

Had a lovely meal here. Reasonable prices, very quick service and minimal wait for food, food was yummy, good drinks selection. Nothing to fault! Will come again.

Love the gluten free menu. My favourite place to eat out

Had a lovely time the food was fantastic and the staff very helpful we will return when we vist are daughter again 😀

It’s just a great place. Eat (and drink!) here!! We ate here when traveling through Southampton in mid-July and were excited to come back when we returned in September…and we did.

Been here twice recently for dinner and very impressed with menu,service and prices.Better than a lot of more expensive restaurants.Everthing we have eaten has been cooked very well and there is something for all tastes and appetites. Only complaint is that music is a bit loud for us oldies!
