Frommer's Review

After it opened a few years ago, de Santos quickly became the hot spot in town for late-night dining and bar action. Most people come here for the atmosphere and music, and you should consider it "the" place to go, if scene is as important to you in a dining experience as substance. The menu is Mediterranean-inspired; best bets include lightly breaded calamari, paella Valenciana, and thin-crust pizza. The cool, refined interior feels more urban than resort-oriented, and the sound system is the most sophisticated in town (a DJ spins to match the mood of the crowd). It probably helps that one of the partners is also a member of the wildly popular Latin group Maná. Guests can dine on the open-air terrace in the back. Prices are extremely reasonable for the quality and overall experience of an evening here. Be sure to stay and check out the adjacent club, which is still among the hottest nightspots in town.
