Had a great meal at the Santum restaurant. The food was really tasty. The restaurant was quiet, which i think was due to a private party in the santum bar upstairs. The restaurant is not very well advertised and not obvious that there is a restaurant (which is hidden in the basement). I would definately eat there again and would reccommend it to anyone. The menu is varied with a choice for everyone.

Meal at Sanctum. Venue wwas strange as when at the bar we didn't even realise there was a restaurant. The bar was nice and the restaurant was in the basement. Although the entrance was strange down to the basement the food was very very tasty. I was disapointed they only had 2 vegetarian main courses and two vegetarian starters, but my choice was out of this world - very reccommended. There was lots of choice for meat eaters

On decending the spiral staircase, we were welcomed warmly and shown to our table. Although we were early, this seemed to be no problem, as Sanctum was largely empty. Largely successful starters - the yakitori chicken and leek 'kebab' made interesting by a honey sauce - were let down by mains that didn't quite deliver. Despite the lack of custom, some menu items and our first-choice wine were not available. Shame, as it could be good. Still, the bill, with 25% food discount, was less than £50.

Sanctum on Colemore Row. Reasonable food properly cooked. Great service. Menu an unusual mix with a whole section of burgers alongside thai fish curry. I had steak which was cooked just as I'd asked but was a little fatty.

Good food and service - unfortunately, we were the only people there, so the ambience was a little floored - and also you could here the band playing in the bar above over the top of the restaurant background music! I would have thought its more of a lunch destination.

We went to Sanctum on a Wednesday night, and were one of only two parties there.The menu was very varied, a kind of generic "eastern" feel. The wine list was ok. The service was fairly good but the major problem we had was how long it took for our food - near an hour from ordering. Considering how empty the restaurant was this was a little worrying - wouldn't want to be there when it was busy! Food was ok,and good value with the TopTable offer, but I wouldn't rush back.

The food was good quality, there wasn't much creative or selection in the menu, We chose chicken pasta and it was a breast of chicken with pasta on the side and tomato sauce on the side. The service wasn't very good, My partner and I shared the starter and the waitress didnt give us plates for starters and when the main course arrived she didnt take our dirty knives and forks that were used for our starter. The atmosphere was dead only 2 in the whole restaurant all night. not recommended again.

Went here in a group of 5 last friday night. We did have 25% of the total food bill as a result of booking through toptable. The restaurant is situated in a basement and well decorated, however the atmosphere was considerably lacking despite it being about 50% full. The menu here is probably best described as modern european with a heavy asian influence in the food. Overall the starters and mains were well presented, with good size portions and all tasted lovely. Only fault is sercvice.
Eg. italian, Ritz, Benitos, meatballs...
