One of the most amazing culinary experiences in all of Charlotte. We had the Summer zucchini cakes to start. They came out hot and delicious. My husband had the chicken and mashed potatoes. He’s still talking about how delicious it was. I had the potato gnocchi with sausage and peppers…amazing! The staff and atmosphere are both warm and welcoming. I can’t wait to go back!

We were celebrating Navroz! Sante did not disappoint. We arrived on time at the restaurant which truly has a rustic decor.. it was full to capacity. We ordered champagne , arugula salad.. then for entree we had Pan Seared Springer Mountain Farms Chicken & an entree of perfectly prepared Scallops. They both hit the mark. Finally, the dessert was an orange cheesecake. All plated perfect and made to perfection. Will be back.

Santé never ceases to amaze me with the qualify of their dishes. Chef does an amazing job creating great pairings. Great service from Amy with even better food. Would recommend this place for a great date night. They also have an amazing private patio in the back.

In downtown Matthews there is a small restaurant located in a older building. It sits in a cluster of old shops and is easy to miss if not looking.

Look no further for your next special occasion restaurant and make reservations at Santé. A group of 10 of us gathered at this fine dining gem in downtown Matthews, NC last evening for a birthday dinner – – and it was an incredible experience. The historic building and decor created a special ambiance, and our highly-experienced server handled our lively group with ease. I feasted on a delicious meal of shrimp and stone ground grits with peppers & tasso cream sauce. It was a nice touch to have co-owner and chef Adam Reed make the time to visit our table.

Sante is located in the small town of Matthews, just outside of the city of Charlotte. We’ve driven by for years and finally went last night. If you haven’t been, don’t put it off like we have! We’ll definitely be back!

Recently enjoyed dinner with a friend at Sante. This was my first visit and I was not disappointed at the least. We started with a charcuterie board, had entrees (so good I forgot to take a photo) and ended on a sweet note with a profiterole to share. Flavor, freshness, and service were superb. I especially enjoyed the atmosphere and smaller dining room area nestled within an older building in downtown Matthews.

Always a treat when you can grab a table on the patio on a comfortable May evening.

Fabulous food and service for a high maintenance party of 10 last night. Chef Adam uses the best of local food to create amazing dishes and his staff serves it with style and grace. A fabulous gem in the heart of DT Matthews.

We first came to Santé for Charlotte Restaurant Week a couple years ago & enjoyed it, but we fell back into the routine of our usual favorite dining spots. My wife decided we should go again, and it was an excellent decision. Of course, my wife always makes smart decisions.
