    The art in here is amazing
    Christina V.

    Brunch with the girls was everything! Unlimited sangria and mimosas -- yes please! My fave was the white sangria, but we tried them all (for research purposes, of course ). The unlimited crab legs were a total win, and the shrimp & grits were absolute fire. The steak cooked to order was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. And let's talk about the croissant French toast with apricot butter -- OMG... so good we ordered three (shh ). The artwork inside is gorgeous, and the whole place just has great energy. Our server, Chris, was on point the entire time -- no empty glasses, no empty plates, just good vibes all around. Highly recommend for your next girls' brunch or celebratory weekend -- this spot delivers on food, fun, and flavor! can't wait to try them for dinner!

    Santiago's Bodega is one of those restaurants I always take people from out-of-town if I want to impress my foodie friends! It's an amazing place to share tapas so that everyone gets a little bit of everything. My favorite bites the the Beef Carpaccio (add more truffle oil!), Puff Pastry, and Croquettas! Their flavor combinations are thoughtfully created and executed. The interior is so chic and funky - such a fun vibe! The staff is super friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this spot to showcase one of Orlando's hidden gems.

    Ended up at Santiago's Bodega when my husband and I were looking for somewhere with a nice patio to enjoy the cooler weather. Their patio is nice if you're looking to dine outside- inside is also great, lots of artwork on the walls. The shrimp bisque was amazing, I highly recommend it! The service was good, our server was friendly and food came out pretty quickly.

    We came in for happy hour and had another great experience. We got a pitcher of red sangria, which was very tasty. I love that they offer a mocktail version so everyone is included. We also got one of the martinis made as a shot, which was really fun. Service was great and we got seated immediately. I loved all the food we tried. The standouts were the arancini, beef carpaccio, and flatbread. The beef carpaccio was my absolute favorite item. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and easy to share. We love the vibe here and it's one of my favorite chill happy hours.

    This is a very cute and sophisticated place. Ambiance in the middle of the day is relaxing and welcoming. Our waiter Chirs was a delight, he was super happy and considerate when it comes to food sensitivities, they have developed gluten free menu. Food was delicious, my favorite is the Lamb chops, so tender and devine, meat melted while eating it. Their hummus was also delicious, served with pita bread and cucumbers for our gluten free friend. Their dates are little less interesting but still delicious, there is much room for improvement in presentation and plate planning but delicious. Overall all food was good, however for the price range and type of food i believe it need a better plating and presentation. Their deserts are delicious as well, we had bread pudding and crepes. I don't know that i would go out of my way to go back, but it is a decent place to take your coworkers to. P.S. My ratings are based on whether I believe I could make a better or healthier version at home. If food/drinks/service impress me, I'll be happy to come back. If not the stars reflect that.

    So I actually came here late last year and reserved one of their rooms for a retirement party I threw for my assistant. She was moving onto the next phase in her life, and we sent her off with a bang with coworkers past and present. It wasn't anything crazy. Maybe 25 people. The lead up to reserving the room was a crazy hassle. Different people telling me different things, people wanting pre-orders of food or something, people wanting a giant one-check system, just crazy stuff. But luckily, when we got there, the server took over and let us split up the checks and just free order. I forget her name, but she was my hero, and I made sure to tip her 200%. Thank you, whatever your name was, you magnificent person you. But anyway, now onto the review. Ambiance was good. It was built into a strip mall, and the inside was vaguely Spanish décor. No issues with that. The back room we were in was cozy and right next to the kitchen. And the food. Oh my goodness, the food. The menu is pretty small, but that's good. Do a few things perfectly rather than many things mediocrely. We ordered a ton of stuff, and even sampled more stuff from the others we were with. I couldn't possibly list everything out, so I'll just list some highlights. Patatas Bravas (fried potatoes, olives, capers, tomatoes, parmesan, chipotle aioli). A twist from the classic form I've seen it in before, but still very unctuous and zingy. The texture and nuttiness from the parmesan was interesting and lovely. There was a special that night that was a bao bun. Very quaint and fun at a place like Santiago's, and the bao was very soft and the Nashville hot chicken inside was fried to a crispy perfection. Dates (goat cheese filled, prosciutto wrapped). Just lovely. You Must order these. Probably the best single bite in the whole restaurant. Beef Short Ribs (cherry-hoisin glazed, orange-miso slaw). Wowww. Best singular dish of the evening for me. Very tender and deep with hoisin flavor, with the orangey slaw cutting through it with a pop of acid. Very well constructed. I ate two of them. Overall, after experience the brunch menu at the other Santiago's, I was very excited to see their dinner offerings, and I was not disappointed. Between the amazing food and the amazing service, I think it was best case scenario for a retirement party, and I am very thankful. Thanks, Santiago!

    The atmosphere and interior and exterior is basically it for us! There is definitely a good vibe and the service was ok. We also got a bottle of wine because it was half off Wednesday. Everything was ok. Nothing stood out. 26-27$ for half rack of lamb which end up being 2 pieces split between us was a bit pricey for our taste. Over all, it was ok dinner. Good vibe, worth at least one try!

    Pros: Ambiance is great. Very warm and cozy. Vaguely Spanish. We had a whole room to ourselves that we rented, so it was very intimate and nice. Service was great! We had one server take care of our party of about 20. Not sure if that was her choice or not, but she did a great job and we made sure we tipped well. Food was amazing. Small plates are my favorite, because you can order a lot and not get stuffed. You can also share with the people next to you. It's communal and nice. Cons: Some of the meatier orders are a little pricey. Don't get me wrong, they're still worth it, because of the quantity and quality, but it did price some of us out of those options. Dealing with the room rental people was a little bit of a pain, but it all worked out in the end. Tips: Get the bacon wrapped dates for the love of God. The patatas bravas you can skip. Get anything with lamb. Yum.

    The best tapas in Orlando! The red sangria was delicious and all of the food is great to share with friends. I highly recommend ordering a bunch of tapas and splitting with friends. Our server was very sweet and funny and recommended some items off of the menu. The ambiance of the restaurant was dim lit and cozy.

    Chicken empanadas
    Allison B.

    If you're looking for a great food and drink happy hour in Orlando, Santiago's is your spot. I love that they have a rotating selection of $7 happy hour tapas plates as well as half-priced drink offerings every day of the week! On my latest visit we ordered the chicken empanadas, mushroom truffle flatbread, and chickpea stew from the happy hour menu, as well as the chicken skewers from their hot tapas. Their empanadas, flatbread, and chicken skewers were all wonderful, but the stew missed the mark. The concept was great, but it was really too salty to eat. The beauty of a tapas reastaurant is that one dish doesn't make or break a meal, but I do feel like every time I visit there's just one plate that misses the mark. Overall, however, I think Santiago's is definitely worth the visit. The service, ambiance, and inventive food options absolutely make this a restaurant worth trying for yourself.

    Prime rib
    Corrina Q.

    A bottomless bachelorette brunch with mimosas and sangrias included sounded like a great idea, and it was exactly that! I came with a group of 8 to enjoy the $48 all-inclusive brunch (2 hour limit), and we definitely got our moneys worth. I love when unlimited food offerings don't penalize/charge you for unfinished food. I had about 4-5 sangrias, and they were decently strong. The brunch tapas come out as they are being prepared. My only complaints were some foods took MUCH longer than others (i.e. we ordered some pastries as one of our first foods items and it came out as our very last food item like an hour and a half later.. but there was a steady flow of food throughout our brunch) and that I thought the brunch foods were going to be more of a Hispanic variety since it's a tapas place. My fav brunch dishes were the prime rib and the candied bacon (not pictured because I devoured it). Overall, great experience! The restaurant is beautifully decorated with various large canvases on the walls. It was definitely a vibe :)

    Shrimp and grits
    Ashley O.

    The outdoor seating leaves a bit to be desired. It's nice outside but it's never fun sitting next to a bunch of cars and a chain smoker. I wish we sat inside because it is very cute inside. The food was really good. We loved every dish except the one I most looked forward to, which was a special anyway. The shrimp and grits had amazing underlying flavor but the salt was so overpowering that I couldn't touch it. Shrimp was also a bit overcooked but those grits were phenomenal. The stuffed dates were also super tiny - they could have used some more stuffing and possibly more meat to hold them together after the extra stuffing. Ultimately a bit too sweet since they were barely stuffed due to being so tiny. Our server was nice but really not that attentive. We went on a Friday night and it wasn't that busy, but he was pretty sparse in his visits. Overall we really enjoyed the food and sangria, but some pieces could be improved. I also met the most amazing chameleon while we are and wish he would have come home with us.

    Santiago's Bodega is a perfect date night resturant if you're looking for some Spain-inspired tapas and aren't afraid to spend a bit of money to satiate your pallet across multiple savory small plates. Service was quick and kind, we were seated rather quickly for a weekend mid-afternoon around 5PM to 6PM in a clean booth that was romantic and secluded for the most part to allow some small chitchat while sampling the menu. The sangria was a delicious pairing with our smattering of small dishes. The wedge salad was something I was unsure of at first as I've not had a similar dish at another restaurant, but the blue cheese dressing and bacon crumbles made for a wonderful combo and easy dish to split for two. The croquettas were an additional delight with the chive spread, and the mini quesadillas with mango salsa inspired me to try my own hand at making mango salsa the next day at home. So many rich flavors, hard to think about which dish we liked more. Again, a perfect place for a fancy date night with mostly quiet ambiance and beautiful spread of smaller dishes. Disfruta mis amigos!

I ordered a Mexican Old Fashioned and enjoyed the smoke, Mezcal, and Buffalo Trace. It "hit the spot" for this celebration and our fajita dish. Chips and salsa arrive at the table, for free, before the meal. I enjoyed the crunch and the spice. For the (paid) birthday celebration, the VIDA Cocina staff brought a lighted ballon display, a small torch on a bottle, and a huge cake, and then enthusiastically sang a birthday song. We enjoyed an all-around fun time, made even more so because we didn't know what to expect going in. Outdoor seating, when it's not raining. Plenty of parking.

There aren't many places where you can consistently enjoy live jazz, great food, and a cozy atmosphere all in one place. I visited on a Saturday during Magical Dining and tried their three-course menu for $40. I ordered the Crab Bites as my starter, the Chicken Pasta for my entrée, and the Bread Pudding for dessert. Everything was really good, but the Crab Bites were easily my favorite! I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious they were. If you're an Orlando native, you may remember how small Jazz Tastings used to be. They've since doubled in size and updated their menu, moving away from their previous tapas-style offerings to full-size entrées. The space still has that intimate, cozy feel, though, which makes it an amazing date-night spot. Of course, the live music is the highlight. The band was great, and I love that Jazz Tastings keeps a calendar of upcoming performers and events, so you can plan your visit around who you'd like to see. A couple of things to know before going: weekends can get busy, so reservations are highly recommended unless you're able to arrive really early. They also charge automatic gratuity on weekends, along with an additional service fee on Fridays and Saturdays, so just keep that in mind when planning your visit. Overall, Jazz Tastings is a great choice for a date night or a relaxed night out with friends, especially if you want to hear some talented local artists while enjoying good food and drinks. I'll definitely continue coming back!
