The setting is wonderful, as the Santander casino building is very glamorous, but, due to the rain, they had to serve dinner inside, and we were struck by the dim and sad lighting of the lounge, plus the staff were quite inexperienced, and were learning. We had a Russian salad that was really delicious, second macho, with baked potatoes, very well baked, and an overmade burger, it was hard to eat. We were offered bread and we did not want to, and when we were served, the appetizer, which consisted of butter, as we had not ordered bread, we requested that they bring us at least some toast to accompany it, and they told us that they did not have and that it could not be, but that they could bring us bread. Logically we said yes because it is inconceivable that they will serve an appetizer butter if they do not accompany it with bread. The surprise was that we were charged for bread, which seems to me a very unprofessional detail. You can’t serve a butter if it’s not accompanied by bread or toast, but what they can’t do in a restaurant in this category is charge you for the bread with which to eat the appetizer they serve you, which would otherwise be inedible. Too bad, really.

This is an excellent restaurant, front of house Manuel was accommodating and friendly, indulging my limited Spanish. It’s a great setting on a terrace balcony and very popular to would advise reservation. We has the roasted sea bass, filleted at the table and to share between two at 60 euros. A really great atmosphere and clearly popular with locals. A great find and highly recommended.

We had our New Year’s Eve dinner in this monumental building overlooking the Sardinero beach in a privileged are in Santander city. Needless to say that the treatment given by their staff is excellence in capital letters. The menu was prepared with top quality ingredients and the atmosphere was one where every detail was so taken care of that you could literally leave your design handbag and go to the dance floor not worrying about it and dance such a special night away in a place that exudes richness and etiquette in every corner. A minus for me are the bathrooms which I found a bit outdated. Overall great experience in an impressive building where once you entere you’ll be admiring the beautiful stained glass. If we are in Spain this 2020 NYE we’ll have dinner there again.

Disastrous! Very pretty on the outside, but it doesn't match the interior at all, based on the poor presentation as soon as you see the elevator. It was closed, which we already knew, but we entered the machine area to spend a few euros, and Miss Sympathy (note the irony) at the entrance scanned my ID, I asked her why, and she said to check, when she should only look to see if we are prohibited or not . We have not signed any consent for our IDs to be scanned. Where is the data protection law??? AMAZING that a casino at this point does these things, and on top of that with a bad face...
The machines are the same as those in any game room, and the space is super small. He didn't ask us if we wanted anything to drink, and we stopped asking him for anything, so we spent less time than we would have liked.

Bad service. It was eaten with some starters on the terrace and in the living room, which were very few. 2 starters without repeating and of tiny size. On the table, cold first and second courses and also little food. You have no chance to ask for more. For €55 menu it seems shameful to me.
Room manager at the food level. A shame.

This is beautiful building mainly used for events and other social gatherings.
The Casino (gambling) section is very small.
The team was very friendly.

The building overlooking a square opening up to the seafront, speaks for the glorious past of Santander. Present remains pleasant for visitors and inhabitants alike, partly due to scenery, nice buildings and good food! Eating at the Casino (arranged for a group), was an experience combining all of the above. A real pleasure!

Hola, lo siento pero no puedo darte esa informacion, ya que la visita la hice con excursion organizada, y era en autocar como llegamos, bajamos y luego nos vinieron a recoger. Saludos.

Dado que se trata de un casino es necesario media etiqueta para entrar a cenar.
Soy de fuera y por ejemplo en el Benalmádena es necesario

En principio, te recomiendo que cenes en unos de los restaurantes/tapas, que existen en los bajos del mismo Casino, luego entras en las sala de juego.
Uno recomendable es el Restaurant La Cania calle Joaquin Costa, 45
