Santo's Buffet - Palm Beach, Boca Raton

Right before diners' eyes, chefs whip up mouthwatering sushi and American fusion cuisine inside the open kitchen of Santo's Modern American Buffet & Sushi. The culinary team fills the restaurant's 100-foot-plus buffet bar with a grill station including ribeye steak, seasonal vegetables, five styles of chicken ranging from parmesan-crusted varieties to wings, and roasted New York strip. Along with hot items, the culinary team artistically assembles more than 20 sushi rolls and more than 100 daily specials. Homemade desserts such as creme brulee, chocolate mousse, and tiramisu are also available.

To complement chefs' mixture of Japanese and American staples, bartender Carlos Gomez incorporates over 20 different kinds of sake, including eight flavored that may be sampled three-at-a-time ($6), into popular western cocktails, such as the sake mojito. Santo's spacious dining room accommodates up to 200 guests, who bring loaded plates back from the buffet to their high-top tables and leather chairs.
