Stop and Smell The Rosé At Santo
Spring is officially here! While the longer days and warmer temperatures may drive some into a deep cleaning frenzy, I’ll be embracing the season with alfresco outings, rooftop cocktails, and soaking up sunsets. Come on, if you’re not perched on a patio sipping a cocktail is it even springtime in Nashville?
Take a moment and stop and smell the rosé at Santo.
Santo, located at the corner of Richard Jones and Hillsboro in Green Hills, has become one of my go-to restaurants over the last few months.
Since many of my favorite brunch spots have been taken over by woo-girls and bachelorette parties, I’ve had to seek refuge at new establishments like Santo.
Santo is one of the few restaurants in the city that serves brunch daily from 11:00 am - 3:00 pm. And did I mention that brunch cocktails are two for one? That’s right, those delicious Grapefruit Spritzes and Santo Margs are two for one. If that’s not a reason to check this place out, I don’t know what is!
Roasted Beets | Red Wine Vinaigrette + Goat Cheese + Orange
Santo’s menu boasts an assortment of upscale brunch dishes that are sure to make you swoon. If you prefer healthier fare, I recommend ordering the Roasted Beet Salad. The citrus notes in the dish accentuate the flavors of the beets and the goat cheese. Certainly one of my favorite salads in Nashville.
If calories don’t count and you are looking to go all in, start with the Pancake. It’s the perfect way to kick off brunch festivities, and it’s a dish that’s easily shareable. Another great dish to start with is the Hot Oysters. They are cooked with fennel leek butter and smoked gouda. Need I say more?
( Featured from L-R) Shortrib Benedict + Pancake + Try The Fries!
For those who are looking for heartier brunch fare, you can’t go wrong with the Shortrib Benedict or the Lamb Smash Burger. Both have been ordered on repeat and do not disappoint. Warning - these dishes may easily send you into a food coma. Proceed with caution.
Shortrib Benedict + Pancake + Grapefruit Spritz
With many of us still working remotely, it’s common to miss lunch or get roped into a meeting unexpectedly. Honestly, I barely know what day is it anymore; they all seem to run together. If you can hold on until 4:00 pm, Santo hosts an incredible Happy House that features a variety of small plates, cocktails, and wines by the glass for only $8.00. It goes without saying, Santo makes it really easy to get in trouble.
With so many beautiful days ahead, enjoy the sunshine, the two-for-one cocktails, and the amazing cuisine Santo has to offer.
