We headed to Historic Downtown Chandler for an art opening at the Chandler Center for the Arts last Friday night. We were a little early (of course, we planned it that way!), so we headed to Santan Brewing Company for a light dinner and a beer.
It was my first foray into the historic district and into Santan. 5:30 on a Friday is probably not the most sensible time to be looking for a quick dinner and drinks. But, as busy as they were, we were seated immediately and beers were in our hands before we could blink!
I settled on the special Abbey and downtown sliders. I was stuffed with just two of the sliders and some wonderful big, fat, tasty hot fries. The fries tasted like real potatoes and not frozen prefabricated cardboard. My taste buds rejoiced with a nice rich dark Abbey to wash it all down.
We were served quickly and pleasantly by our server - Joey - and made it to the art opening across the street with plenty of time to spare.
One star down for the noise level. Go to Santan Brewing Company to enjoy the food and beer . . . don't go for long, in-depth conversations with your dining companions. On a Friday night, after a long week of work, it will take far too much heavy concentration to hear across the table. I think this was the loudest restaurant I have ever been in. But the food & drink were well worth waiting to solve the world's problems until we were back outside.
