" Visited Cafe Santorini with my family over the weekend, and we had a great time! Everything from the ambiance to the food was delightful. The only downside was the slight wait for our food, but the staff was friendly, which made the experience enjoyable regardless. I had the seafood risotto that I thoroughly enjoyed, though I expected a bit more seafood in it. Overall, I would recommend it, especially on a beautiful day when you can sit outside. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently hosted a family gathering at Cafe Santorini and was thrilled with how everything turned out. The long table setting was cozy, and the staff took excellent care of us. The mezze platter we had at the start set the tone for the meal; it was fresh and flavorful! For mains, I opted for the chicken kebab, while others sampled the seafood dishes. Everything was delicious, though I wished the portions were more generous. Overall, I would heartily recommend this restaurant. " (*Curated Review*)

" Found Cafe Santorini after a long day exploring Pasadena, and it couldn’t have been better! The lamb shank was to die for and melted in my mouth. The fresh salads were a perfect starter. I loved the vibe of the place, with a comforting atmosphere. The only downside was the wait; it was quite busy and we spent some time just waiting for our table. Still, that didn’t detract too much from the overall experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cafe Santorini is a culinary delight! My friends and I visited a few weekends ago and had a wonderful meal. The highlight was certainly the tiramisu we savored towards the end of our meal – it was creamy and full of flavor! Our server was attentive and ensured we were happy throughout our experience. I loved the earthy flavors of the lamb kebabs, paired perfectly with toasty pita. I would definitely return to try more dishes from their extensive menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a company dinner here last week, and it was a fabulous choice. The atmosphere was great for team bonding, and the outdoor seating area was well decorated. We enjoyed the mezze tasting; everything from the hummus to the stuffed grape leaves was delightful. My main was the saffron-infused seafood risotto, which was nothing short of divine. I couldn't have asked for better service either, our server was attentive without being intrusive. Highly recommend for any group dining! " (*Curated Review*)

" Today, I had lunch at Cafe Santorini with my friend, and it was a delightful experience! We enjoyed every dish we ordered. The grilled calamari was exceptionally tender, and the lentil salad was refreshing. The variety in their menu is impressive, but I wish they had more options for vegetarians. The service was prompt, although I did notice the waiter could have been more engaging. I’d still recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to enjoy fresh Mediterranean food in a lovely setting. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Cafe Santorini last weekend and couldn’t have been happier with my choice. The patio seating is perfect for enjoying the evening air while indulging in their delicious Mediterranean offerings. I ordered their grilled calamari which was cooked to perfection and seasoned improbably well. The service was friendly and efficient. While I thought the prices were a bit steep for the portion sizes, I would still return for the great atmosphere and the tasty food! " (*Curated Review*)
