Santorini

Santorini, with a warm, friendly, and relaxed atmosphere, is located in downtown San Francisco only one block from famous Union Square. Our restaurant has numerous, wonderful recipes from Mediterranean regions adapted for all palates.

Santorini Specialties include Chicken or Lamb Souvlakia, Moussaka, Baked Trout, Smoked Pork Chops, and Pomegranate Chicken. All of our appetizers are served with freshly baked pita bread made in our brick oven. Please see our website for a complete menu.

"Made a lovely reservation for a breakfast meeting, only to discover at meeting time that the restaurant was not open! I stopped in later to let the manager know that open table had incorrect information about when they were open and he did not seem to care."

"Wonderful food, and the best part was the darling couple who play music - what a treat! They are truly talented and a joy to watch - perfect ambiance for delicious, healthy, food. Right portions and mix of flavors! We will definitely be back."

"We had the Island Appetizer which had the best dolmas we had ever had as well as very good babaganoush and tabouli and good hummus. The moussaka we had was not too our liking, as it had very little eggplant and seemed warmed over. The falafels were just ok, and the greek salad was servicable but uninspired. Only beer and wine available as it doesn't have a full bar. Would go back for the appetizers and order something different for the entree."

"Food was fine. Adequate. Not outstanding, except for the saganaki: IT was amazing!! Portions were generous. Prices provided a good value. Service was spotty at first (nobody had our table), but as soon as this was remedied, the service was excellent!!"
