Straits Cafe - Santana Row

Used to be better pre-COVID, but still a solid place. The food for dinner is delicious and really does a great job emphasizing the southeast Asian flavors. Night time, the drinks are solid but since they don’t regulate the capacity like they used to, the service is spread thin and not able to help out as much as they should

The food was delicious, ordered about 6 dishes total, great atmosphere, a bit loud so not so easy to talk really, but I guess that was okay. The place was packed on a Friday night. The service was really friendly and attentive. Hands down on the food and service, however I had a hurricane, and I don't think there was much rum in there...I ordered another one, great fruity punch but , this is not what I call a cocktail. I will definitely go there again for food but will NEVER order another cocktail there, total rip off or the bartender has no idea what they are doing. I even mentioned it to the waitress when I ordered the second one...If I ordered a hurricane or any cocktail, I am not asking for a virgin one, unless I ask for one ;-)

My colleague and I came to Straits for dinner at the end of our business trip day. We ordered Hainan chicken and beef rendang. We sat outside near the street, watching the fancy cars go by while enjoying the food, both of which were delicious. The only thing missing in this restaurant was coffee. But not a big problem as Cocola next door served excellent coffee and ice cream. We left Santana Row two happy men 😃
