Santonio Bar Restaurant — Restaurant in England

We went here for some food on an evening. After paying £2 to park the car on the Marina, we decided to have a bite to eat.

On entering the restaurant, we were served immediately and taken for a table for two. There was a sign to tell you to wait to be seated. We were given menus straight away, and then the waitress disappeared without taking a drinks order. This was a little alien to us, but she soon came back and took our drinks order.

We ordered a burger and chips and a chicken skewer hanger. The burger and chips was served on a slab of wood (see photos), and the chicken was served hanging, but the plate was cold. The portion size wasn't very big, and my partner said that he was still hungry after eating that. He enjoyed the taste but compared the taste to a takeaway (just not as dry), marinated in tandoori, turmeric amd garlic. He wasn't impressed with it and commented that he felt the menu was quite overpriced.

For two main meals and two drinks we spent £40. We didn't stay for long after eating as we wanted to walk around the marina before the car park timer expired. For an evening the restaurant was very quiet. (It was a Tuesday though).

The service was pretty good and the music was good. The toilets could do with being kept more clean, but other than that, it was an average meal. We probably...

Our daughter came to stay with us at the marina on a Monday and San Antonio is open on a Monday thankfully or so we thought. Very quiet inside (one other table) the wrong style of music playing in our opinion (recent pop music) , very poor and slow service from the two girls who really would have rather been somewhere else. They had had very little training ,if any , as neither knew about the menu/specials/how to serve or even pour wine. They were well versed in the payment machine and the gratuity button though. No sign of management front of house and then we get to the food. Very very bland and tasteless, we could have been eating each other’s meals and we wouldn’t have known. Risotto that wasn’t far off a packet of uncle bens packet risotto. One meal was very nice - the steak which we paid a lot extra for so thank goodness for that. We should have saved our money and stayed at home and gone to the far superior Porto fino across the marina on Tuesday night. It’s a shame because it’s on our doorstep. There’s just no effort at the place even Sundays are a lottery if they are even open or not which gives mixed messages to possible...

We booked a table of 12 weeks in advance, 10 of us turned up and they had no idea we were booked. They set us up a table as they were quiet even on a Saturday night, got drinks and ordered, starters arrived and the waitress dropped a ramekin dish of garlic sauce, it hit one guest on the back slashing garlic over her top, as it hit the floor it splashed up my leg and onto my coat, the waitress said oh it’s on your top to my friend and walked away returning with blue roll and says there you go, we were left to not only clean ourselves up but also to mess on the floor, she didn’t even pick up the dish, the supervisor came with more plates and asked what had happened, we explained and her response was” I’m not sure how that happened “, it was a pure accident and if either of them had apologised it would have been delt with, as this didn’t happen I send a message the following day just hoping for some acknowledgment that the service was bad, they read the message and didn’t respond, as a quiet restaurant you really should review your customer service especially for large groups as you have lost the chance of us...
