Description
Privilege
Great place for large groups as you same from all different entrees. A tad pricey, though
MoreGreat addition to the neighborhood! Very intriguing foods that arent conventional. Clarify the method of serving the dish by asking. For instance, the Ceviche is served by itself and includes very thick fish slices. Huge spinach salad was served, but it wasnt shown. absolutely worth the
MoreThe food was incredible. If I am searching for criticism, I might say it’s a little too dark in the restaurant and I couldn’t fully appreciate the presentation of our dishes. Will definitely come here again.
MoreService was slow, not conscious of time we were sitting waiting for food. May have been the kitchen slowing things down. Food offerings were weak. No real seafood except peel and eat shrimp. Even the mimosas were weak. Not going back. Lots of money for limited choices. Not buffet style, wait staff had to bring the food to you. Bagels with salmon smear and a scant capers and onions is not my idea of a buffet style offering. Until they up their game, I dont suggest going here.
MoreGreat little tapas place. Love coming here, the wife and I always go with the cheese and charcuterie board as they always have something new to try each time.
MoreOK at best. I started off with the Korean meat skewers and brussels sprouts. The Korean skewers were OK but the brussels sprouts were just plain bad. (if you want a really good brussels sprout appetizer go to the cheesecake factory). The server asked if I wanted a replacement for the brussels sprouts so I exchanged them for the cheese quesadillas. Again just they were just OK. My friend had the small Greek salad and short ribs. The salad was fine, short ribs were adequate at best. Final notes…. The wait staff was competent, prices were ok, the portions were pretty big for a tapas place, but I still would not recommend this place.
MoreFood was spectacular, best short rib Ive had in my life. The bartender took great care of us, highly recommend
MoreI elected to celebrate my birthday here since we had never gone here. It was just myself and my Mom. Some of the food came out luke warm and it took a while to get a refresh on drinks. The server was more attentive to other surrounding tables. We were debating on getting dessert but it took him 20mins to check on us and when my Mom said something about him not being around, he said to her you needed to flag me down. Honestly, you cant flag down a server if they dont come into the room after all the other tables were gone. The longer I waited for the dessert made me not want to be there any longer. I complained to the manager on duty however by his expression and lack of just saying sorry seemed to me it fell on deaf ears. Worst service and no acknowledgement for it either. We will not be going back
MoreGreat food! Drinks were fantastic. Our service was okay, our server was a bit eccentric and he was really trying too hard and made the experience worse tbh but overall would recommend and go back
MoreThe prime rib is good, and was moist. The bagel schmear could have used a little more salmon in it, but was pretty good. The size of the tapas trays are nice so you can try several things. I ordered some bacon and sausage and they brought out more bacon than I expected and I ended up eating it all because it was so smokey and delicious. I like their hashbrown casserole with cheese baked on top - it goes well with the smokey bacon. There are bottomless mimosas and sangria included with the price of brunch.There is really something for everyone,included in the price of brunch. My wife had the croissants and French toast. I tried a few bites and it was pretty good.
MoreFirst an last time. I im currently sitting in the establishment and me an my fiance have been waiting to be served for about 10 mins already an nobody came to the table to say anything just hung around the registerfor alittle. We are now walking out.
MoreSome of the food was okay, but the service sucked. My friend ordered a frittata and asked at least 3 times after it was ordered and it still took another time asking and an hr to finally arrive. If you are going to charge a flat $50 rate for your brunch you need servers who are actually properly waiting on the table.
MoreWe did the Sunday Brunch for my Hubbys birthday. We enjoyed it. Great portions and if you really enjoyed anything there was no problem getting another order. The waiter was Attentive. The Red Sangria will knock your socks off. My favorites were the Pancakes, Prime Rib, Peel and Eat Shrimp(wish they were Look and Eat Shrimp, and the Biscuts with Sausage Gravy. The desserts were descent (wish the cake was warm). I was disappointed the Croissant French Toast unpleasantly greasy from the frying 😔I will definitely go back for one of their Happy Hours with $6 Tapas and 50% off drinks 😋
MoreI’ve been dining here for years and it’s so consistent. Their Sunday brunch is one of the best, or the best, in the city. Tonight, we had the beef tenderloin, shrimp and chorizo (with the bread service so you can sop up the sauce, dates, patatas bravas, sparkling sangria and croissant donuts for dessert. It was as delectable as always. We were so engaged in enjoying the meal that I only took a photo of dessert. This place will always be one of my gold standard spots to dine.
MoreThis is a Tapas restaurant and the dishes are small but they are very good. We shared and everyone loved it. It is very laid back and a good place to relax and enjoy good food and friends.
MoreWow, man this was our first time eating here and everything. John our waiter suggested great tasting food. His wine knowledge was Superb and even his knowledge of the beers in the house. Overall a wonderful experience
MoreLoved this hideaway. Great food and wonderful ambiance. Prices are great. Definitely top on our list
MoreGreat addition to the area! Very interesting dishes; not traditional. Ask about how the item is served for clarification. For example, the Ceviche has very thick cuttings of fish and is served alone. The Spinach Salad (not picturedwas huge! Completely worth the price. I enjoyed all my food items. The servers were very friendly, and Ill be back to try more dishes :)
MoreReally enjoyed our lunch experience.Tapas plates were delicious and great to share.
MoreWent with a friend who has some pretty tight food restrictions, they were exceptionally accommodating and helpful with choosing dishes. Our server was fantastic as well.Only reason for 4 instead of 5 was our lamb came out just barely warm, and the drinks werent that great.
MoreNot a fan of their brunch! The French toasts were too greasy, nothing was really impressive, the tomato soup and shrimp were good, but everything else nothing special, the sangrias were too sweet and the sparkling for the mimosas wasn’t good either.Unfortunately didn’t meet my expectations.
MoreBirthday brunch here! Server was great and food was amazing. Highly recommend making reservations with plenty of advance.
MoreGreat brunch, well worth the $55. Included non-alcoholic drink. All options were tasty. The toffee cake was our favorite, but all was awesome. Would definitely go back.
MoreThere were 3 of us. We had several small portions of various foods then shared them. Not too loud and could have good conversations amoung ourselves. Seems we would just be finishing one dish and another one (or 2would arrive. It was great to share and talk. They had specials which the waiter explained to us after we were seated. They have a drink menu and a wide selection. At the end we asked for a dessert menu. We ordered the bread pudding which is very good and served with vanilla ice cream. Enjoyed and when in the area again, will return.
MoreGreat vibe and atmosphere. I can’t remember our bartenders name but he was super great! Food is always delicious, lots of options to choose from. We did the brunch buffet with unlimited sangria and mimosas. Nice that it’s all small plates (tapasso you can try a little bit of everything without wasting a ton of food.
MoreThis restaurant was interstellar! Its all you can eat and drink! The only bad thing about the service is that they gave us too much food! The good was not a long wait, it came very fast. Our waiter was Chris he was very nice and interactive. We got everything on the menu, my favorites were the Toffee cake, ice cream, prime rib, and the fried French toast (with powdered sugar). We couldnt get takeout, but what you should do is take a takeout box to take what you cant eat.
MoreGreat happy hour (daily 3-6food and drinks! Very different as far as availability compared to the Orlando location on Virginia. A little more laid back and a lot bigger dining area. Friendly staff.
MoreSantiagos Bodega is a go-to for my friends and me. We love stopping in for a quick drink and some tapas during the week for happy hour. I love the rating dishes during happy hour - always something new and only $5! The sparkling sangria is my favorite drink that they offer.
MoreStopped here on the road from Tampa to Jax and so glad we did. Yummy food and drinks. We enjoyed everything we ordered and we all ordered 2-3 things. Could have ordered two things each and been good. So full! Easy on and off the highway too!
MoreI will never be able to think about brunch without thinking about Santiagos. The service and the food is amazing.
MoreMy boyfriend and I had an awesome date experience here, our server Carla was so nice to us and she even made something special for our anniversary! Delicious food, yes, I’ll come back 👌🏽
MoreUPDATE OCT 2021: First time back since last year and let me tell you, was not disappointed even with a few changes due to the pandemic: Crab legs are no longer offered due to the availability and increased prices, were substituted by peel and eat shrimp, buffet style no more. Endless options available brought to your table when requested throughout your meal. Price per adult for brunch reduced because of the absence of the crab legs. All in all. Left completely satisfied and a repeat patron for sure. Updated review with more pictures~end: Five stars, two thumbs up and a clap back! This place in Altamonte Springs is awesome sauce! A hidden gem (in a shopping centertucked away in a quiet, serene, and quaint surrounding. Visited there for brunch this past Saturday, and was blown away from the ambience, and eclectic (ness). Very Boho Chic (so my style), comfy and inviting. The food was absolutely delicious! You must try EVERYTHING!! Unlimited snow crabs, seafood dishes, pastas, chicken, Prime rib, desserts, salads. Breakfast items. The French toast with the apricot creme cheese...OMG..Not to mention unlimited Sangria, Mimosas and Champagne. Our server was John (ask for him). He provided no less than 5 star service! Very attentive, engaging and knowledgeable about the menu. We wanted and needed nothing. He suggested the sparkling sangria and he was right on!! Had a marvelous and most memorable experience. Reservations are needed! A great place to CELEBRATE LIFE!You already know Ill be back. Enjoy!
MoreFantastic friendly service . We shared a Greek salad which was very good and large enough for 3-4 people to share. I had the jalapeno margarita. Very tasty and not spicy at all. It did not have any piece of jalapeno in it although I could tell that the tequila was infused "some". My husband had the old fashion which he said was very good. Each was around 10.00 each. We then had the shrimp and chorizo skews, you get 2 skewers, so total 4 shrimp and 4 thinly slices pieces of chorizo sausage. We had the broccoli, it was dry and bland for me, my husband loved them. The beef tenderloin was very tender and delicious....a must try. The quesadillas was good, you get 3, eat them before they get cold. The place is right off the bike trail so you can ride there. Dogs are welcome and they have water bowls for them. Advise to order as you go..
MoreBest brunch in town!! My sis bday celebration..service was amazing, on point.. is an all you can eat, drink brunch $50 per person...well worth it 100%..food just kept coming , plenty to share with family and friends.. Food was delicious, and great presentation plenty to choose from ..kudos to all in kitchen and all staff..5stars!!! Well be back for sure LOVED SANTIAGOS BODEGA 👌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💕
MoreA relatively new Spanish tapas place in the greater Orlando area. A family of five ordered eleven items excluding drinks. Most of the items got eaten before I could snap a photo. Happy hour is 4 to 6 pm with $5 tapas and 1/2 price wine selection. My daughter loved her $4 white wine sangria.
MoreThis was our second time back at Santiagos. Im still highly suggesting this as a must if you are in the area. Below are a few of the dishes we had. And their strawberry basil martini. The food is bursting with flavor! 😋
MoreBeautiful place! Delicious food! Absolutely loved the Watermelon Martini and I am not usually fond of martinis. It was not overly sweet, which I loved:Our only wish was that the chorizo and shrimp had included more chorizo. Everything was superb though! Even great service! We will be back.
MoreAwesome place for Tapas. Shrimp and Chorizo is delicious. Good croquettes and lamb too. Bar and drink selection are also solid. Cant mention this place without an honorable mention to what they can do for brunch
MoreCute spot ! Very good vibes ! I went for Sunday brunch with the girls and it was a great time. Tapas style, so small sharable plates. The tapas plates here are a tad bit smaller than other tapas places Ive been to, but it was fine since it was unlimited food -n- drinks with price. Definitely coming back !
MoreWent for their brunch today. Mojito was good.No crab legs due to national shortage. The croissant french toast was the best. Frittata was good, but salty...
MoreAmazing tapas style foods and unlimited mimosas for brunch❣. Our new favorite spot for sure
MoreThis place was fantastic! We went for the Sunday brunch. Pricey, but pretty much everything was included.The pacing of the meal is slow and the portions are small. This allows you to spend a lot of time spending time with your party and the ability to try almost everything, assuming everyone shares. Which is great, because literally everything on the menu was to die for.The atmosphere is very comfortable with interesting artwork all over the walls.Staff were fantastic and very helpful. 10/10 recommend and would totally do it again.
MoreLove Santiago’s, me and my friends are frequent visitors! Best tapas style restaurant in the central Florida area!!! Could definitively recommend the filet tenderloin, the chicken skewers, and any of their cocktails are pretty nice!
MoreGreat tasting dishes that were fresh tasting, served hot, and delicious. First time here at the Altamonte location. Today is my birthday so a friend took me here. Will definitely be back to try other diahes and desserts.
MoreIm never disappointed. This was my first visit to the Altamonte location and I must say I think I like this spot better. We sat at the bench/bar tables and when I sat on the bech side I felt like I was eating on a kids high chair because I felt so low and the table was high. During our dinner Friday we noticed several people asked to be moved because of the same feeling but we just stuck it out. I would suggest lowering the tables a tad bit if possible. The restuarant was beautiful and the restrooms were very clean. So lets talk about Miss Kayla and her AMAZING service. Fantastic she was very attentive and offered some suggestions to the newbies in the group. The food was a nothing less than delicious. The beef tenderloin and short ribs are my favorite.
MoreWe tried the specials...Scotch Eggs, Shrimp Tacos and Risotto with White Truffle and Bacon...absolutely fabulous! Brian provided attentive and friendly service. We sat outdoors, though its late November, thanks to the heater overhead. Great place, one of our favorites.
MoreI’ve heard people raving about this place, but I struggled to enjoy my experience here. I’m a huge fan of tapas and this style of dining, unfortunately I left here disappointed. The restaurant was fairly empty and yet we had terrible service. We sat for several minutes before our drink orders were taken and that ended up being the pace the entire evening. We couldn’t have even tried more dishes if we wanted to because we couldn’t order. Our last dish changed four times and finally ended up being dessert as we finally gave up on trying to order any more tapas. At one point the manager even offered to fill my empty water glass and then never returned. The mushroom soup was bland and just tasted like roux, I would never order it again. The lentil soup was good, but not great. The Patatas Bravas was very good and full of flavor (Best dish). The Puff Pastry was also another very bland dish with hardly any filling and I don’t think I even tasted any Bernaise sauce. We finished off with a bread pudding, which was good and a couple craft cocktails that were hard to drink, but at least strong. We would have loved to have tried more dishes, but due to the lack of service it just wasn’t even an option. I’m not sure if I would go back.
MoreVery delicious and fantastic experience. The food was amazing. We ordered the- Spicy Shrimp bisque that very spicy,- mini lamb chops that was very good- chorizo y shrimp sauce was delicious- saganaki cheese was good- bacon wrapped mushrooms was very goodDefinitely will be back again.Very friendly and accommodating staff.
MoreGreat tapas restaurant! The plates are delicious and perfect for sharing (or not, something taste too good to share), but you can get a little of everything. My family loves going here for dinner. We also enjoy going for lunch, the lunch boards are great, my favorites are the French and Spanish lunch boards. I get a little taste of everything when I go. Also went for the Sunday buffet once (I’m not a big fan of buffet stylebut I was pleasantly satisfied with the flavor of everything. These is also something new to try on the specials almost every night. Delicious food, good ambiance, great experience every time.
MoreTapas? Say no more. This place sat us quickly. The staff was friendly and even joked around with us at our table. The food was AMAZING and they did a good job of telling us what to order and it came in droves. Not all at once. Loved it. Reasonably priced and we left filling fill. Facility was well taken care of. Bathrooms were very clean. Each table features a fresh carnation in water and candle light. Dessert is a must. Make sure you get the doughnuts with creme for dessert to top it off.
