It's always a pleasure to stop in to Santiago's Bodega. Yesterday was a quiet day at the restaurant but the service and food were exceptional as usual. Our server Taylor was friendly and attentive, making sure drinks weee refilled and nothing was needed. For lunch we had the Trio (Mediterranean dips), French onion soup, croquettes and chicken skewers that came in a lovely lemon sauce that I wanted to drink. I could eat their French onion soup every day. The ambiance is Santiago's... pleasant and comfy. Easy to see how they're a favorite in town. read more

I came here for my friend's birthday and it was delicious! It is tapas style so you will end up ordering several things. I was happy to learn they had a gluten free menu and ordered the chicken skewers and patatas bravas. Both were good. The patatas had a unique spicy flavor due to the sauce. I also enjoyed an aperol spritz and service was great. My friends had the short rips as one of their plates which those looked amazing. I would definitely come back here! read more

My experience at Santiago's Bodega was exceptional from beginning to end. I was in a pinch to secure a reservation for a party of 10 since other places fell through. When I called Andy put in the effort to fit in my group on a busy Friday night. So grateful! It is a trendy, bustling area so self-parking might take a bit of effort. Valet is available. The interior is warm and cozy with thoughtful, artsy touches. It was a bit noisy inside, but that's to be expected on a packed weekend night. I love tapas because you get to try a wide variety of dishes and sharing is caring. Everything was delicious! The shrimp bisque was perfectly spicy and creamy. Ideal for a chilly night. The croquettas were flaky and flavorful. Of course the star of the show was the saganaki. Probably the first time I've had halloumi cheese. I liked it better than the burrata. Prices seem fair, in my opinion. Happy Hour is 4-6pm and 11pm-1am. Our server Amaya was on point with our requests and preferences. She was knowledgeable, attentive and extremely pleasant. She actually seemed to be enjoying herself. It was a night to remember. I will definitely return. read more

I came here & had a great time. Service and ambience were greatly appreciated as the individuals working were so attentive ; I kept thinking they were the owners . There are weekly specials with Monday Martinis only $10, I sampled quite a few. Tried the beef short ribs which were so tender, the well seasoned chicken skewers, the tasty croquettes with scallion cream dipping sauce and the miniature quesadillas. Everything was so well seasoned, heated perfectly and came out to the table in a well fashioned manners. Not to mention , the drinks were delicious . I will definitely return! read more

Now that I have been here for both brunch and diner, I feel I can give a good comprehensive review that Santiago's rocks. Everything I've tasted from them has been delicious, even things that included ingredients I normally don't like! Brunch has unlimited drinks and all the flavors are stunning. The staff is always helpful and as attentive as possible even when they're busy. I always enjoy my time here. read more

My husband and I were driving through the area late at night and decided to stop in and see what this place was. We tried a few of their tapas which were really good. We ordered: chicken skewers, hummus, bruschetta, beef short ribs, and lamb chops. Everything was bursting with flavor. The wait for our food wasn't long. It was a quiet neighborhood local spot that was well worth it. Can't wait to stop by this place again. read more

Still a gem. Our server was great and very friendly. It's dark enough to make people look pretty. Not overly noisy - the sound is actually nice if that makes sense. Loud without being too loud. Tried a few items we've never tried before and the food did not disappoint. Just note that Parking can be tough read more

Great food, location and atmosphere. Can't go wrong with all food! Love spending occasion here.

We came for happy hour and we were a little disappointed at the value. I think we may have to set our expectations too high because we saw on the website that the select tapas were only $5 a plate. We liked the sangria. It was tasty for $4.50 a glass. The dishes were all okay. Our favorites were the chickpea and chorizo stew and the prosciutto crackers. They ended up being $7 a plate which was a little disappointing. The service was nice although it took quite a few minutes to get seated when we walked in (they did not look that busy). The vibes inside are also nice with cute and classy decor with beautiful paintings everywhere. read more

I visited again last night with a friend to enjoy the happy hour that happens every day from 4pm-6pm and 11pm-1am. We got there right at 4pm and thank goodness we had a reservation because the restaurant was pretty much filled up. I ordered the red sangria and she ordered the white sangria. Both very delicious and a decent amount of fruit pieces in each glass. We were intrigued by the crab fries on the happy hour menu so we said "why not, let's give 'em a try". Definitely not what we were expecting, yet oh so good. The fries themselves are crab. Almost like a dehydrated texture with a yummy mustard base dipping sauce. The table next to us ordered a dish with flames and we wanted flames too. It was the cheese saganaki. The spices are amazing. The Pita was warm and fluffy. An employee brought us over a side of honey to try drizzled on the Pita and it took it to a whole nother level! Great service and amazing happy hour. read more

I wouldn't go back. Overall, the food was just okay. The mussels and Brussels sprouts were the highlights, but the lamb was mediocre and the ceviche was terrible, so definitely skip it. Service was slow, likely because they are clearly understaffed, though the staff themselves were sweet and personable. I felt sorry for our server because he was waiting so many tables. Happy hour was a nice touch, but not enough to make up for the food and service issues. read more

Service was really good here, came in November during Jingle Eve for my friends birthday and they made sure we were all happy, and the food was delicious. I loved that they had a late night happy hour! I ordered the quesadillas and the prickly pear margarita. I tried other things (not pictured) that were delicious such as the saganaki, beef short ribs, meatballs and a seasonal thanksgiving dish they offered at the time that I wish I could remember what it was called. Still need to try out their brunch. read more

Altamonte Springs: Would give zero stars. Went on Valentines Day and clearly they were understaffed. Initially no silverware when first tapas arrived and another 15 minutes to get silverware only after we asked. Had to send back ( got cold) and in meantime second arrived and was undercooked (specified well done so had to send back). 45 minutes later and still no food and other patrons around us were having same problems. Have gone there before with good experience but this was so bad, we"ll never go back. Asked for check to pay for the drink I actually got and that even took 15 minutes. Overall we were there 80+ minutes and decided we had enough. For some reason no one competent seemed to be in operational read more

I have been coming here for YEARS, and I cannot believe that I have not yet left a review! I also frequent the one in Altamonte, but on occasion, I come to the original in Orlando. So, I am very familiar with Tapas, I have been to Spain many times, and I absolutely love Tapas. Tapas consists of small dishes of food, not much more than a bite or 2, and you order a beer or a glass of wine and select Tapas, and eat it with your friends. Now, having said that, Santiago's Bodega is not exactly Spanish Tapas, the portions are larger, BUT- the whole point of here is to share with your friends. Still, the portions, while larger, are not full portions, but are meant to be shared, allowing you to order more off the menu. My favorite dish is the Beef Tenderloin, so incredibly tender and tasty! Other items I always order are the Meatballs, Shrimp & Chorizo, and the Croquettas. Word of warning- the salads are HUGE, so definitely plan on sharing those. They also have an amazing wine list, and on Wednesday night, they have half-price wine night! The decor and ambiance are excellent and the service is also fantastic, attentive without being overbearing. Be aware parking nearby may be an issue, but if you drive around, you will find a spot on the street. Highly recommended! read more

My family from the UK while visiting love to go to Santiago's and we would go quite regularly. However, that has changed completely. In the last year the service level has become ridiculously slow. We went this weekend for a birthday celebration. In the beginning the server came right to the table but that was the first time. After that the service got slower and slower. We ordered the first round of tapas and afterwards we sat with dirty dishes on the table for 45 minutes before we saw the server again. They were drastically understaffed which seems to happen every time. One server had the entire section full while the other had nothing. But they didnt seem to help each other. Food was very good but the service and the wait time was ridiculois. read more

Santiago's is in a fantastic location in walking distance to many very cool places! I really appreciate that there's a parking lot so it makes it easy to visit. The restaurant itself has a simple and classy rustic look. Staff is friendly and food runners made sure we got our food as soon as it was ready. This tapas restaurant delivered! So, I tried the avocado and pear salad, stuffed dates, beef tenderloin, and shrimp and chorizo. Everything was perfectly cooked and scrumdiddlyumptious!! I wanted to try more on the menu, but I was too full. You know what that means...I will be back! I can't want to try more. However, those dates!!! I will ALWAYS order those. They are incredible! read more

Santiago's has one of the best happy hours in town! For $4 you can get a delicious sangria (red, white or sparkling) and for $7 you can get some appetizers. I've been a fan of the Santiago's happy hour for years. The sangria is still so good and worth the value but I'm knocking off a star because the food has declined in taste and value and increased in price. I get the price increase, but the quality of the food choices for HH is not worth it. The yuca fries I got were cold and not crispy. The tuna was really mayo heavy and not fresh. I miss the days of the empanadas and other fresh HH tapas. I've had this same experience with the food the last three times I've visited and I think now I'm going to only come for drinks and get food elsewhere. read more

Food is always excellent here, service can be so-so sometimes. I would highly suggest a reservation as this location can get pretty busy on the weekends. Parking can be tricky at this location so I suggest parking at the publix lot and walking over. If you like tapas, I would highly recommend Santiago's. They have a location in Ivanhoe and another in Altamonte Springs. I've frequented both and always enjoy myself. The saganaki is my favorite item on the menu and they also have a gluten free menu available. read more

One of my favorite places in Orlando! Savannah is an amazing server, but truly all the staff are great! Food is consistently amazing.

Came here for a friend's birthday and it happened to be happy hour. We ordered sangrias and a good amount from the happy hour menu. We ordered the Nashville chicken sliders, mussels, ceviche, croquettes and a salad. All of it was delicious. I definitely recommend coming here. Service was great - very attentive. It's not too loud and cozy. read more

Searching for the perfect neighborhood tapas and great social atmosphere?! Look no more than Santiago's located in mills district . This Spanish style restaurant has spacious indoor and outdoor seating with several mouthwatering appetizers to choose from , you can't go wrong . As well as fresh sangria and a full bar. I always sit at the bar or high top for happy hour ! The burrata is so fluffy and flavorful with pesto and balsamic glaze that makes this dish so flavorful. Spicy shrimp soup was decadent as well as some favorite lamb shops ! Such a good spot with attentive and friendly staff ! read more

Santiago's has been one of my consistent go-to's in Orlando for everything from brunch to a birthday dinner. I love the atmosphere inside-- they usually play fun music, and it's great to bring a group of friends. The tapas prices are very fair and decently sized to share with a group. For dinner, my favorite item has to be the chicken quesadilla. It's so crispy and cheesy-- truly can't be beat. We also ordered the pear salad for a larger group, and it might be the best salad I have ever had. For brunch, it is bottomless everything, which is an incredible deal! We were obsessed with the bread pudding and the guava and cheese pastries. Of course the sangria can't be missed. The service is always quick while we're here, so definitely check them out when you're in Mills, and check out my TikTok for a full video review @cfomoneyfoproblems read more

Late night dinner review. This is one of the few places that open late and I was able to make a reservation for 1130pm after a late show. The place was small and intimate. I tapas especially when eating so late, but we ordered wayyyy too much and were overstuffed when we left. The Best Tapas: The Chicken wraps The Beef tenderloin with bleu cheese Rack of Lamb Just Okay Tapas: Patatas Bravas The sliders The Sananaki- was to salty for us, but the bread was good Tasty Drinks: Old Fashioned Sparking Sangria Overall, we would return. There is limited parking as it shares with another restaurant. I'm not sure if there is Street parking, it didn't seem like it. There could be more parking, but it was late so didn't find out. But definitely a must go. read more

We popped into Santiago's for a celebratory lunch and after a bit of a delayed service start, were not disappointed! Although it took awhile for our table to catch anyone's attention, service was attentive and welcoming once started. We started off with a pitcher of the white sangria, which was fine. Nothing particularly memorable but a nice option on a warm day. We approached the rest of the menu family style. As the vegetarian at the table, the Trio and Brussels Sprouts caught my eye on the menu. The Trio offered a nice mixture of dips/spreads with warm, fluffy pita slices. The Brussels were flavorful but a bit underdone in my opinion--a little bit too crunchy rather than that tender, roasted texture. The Miniature Quesadillas were also a tasty bite with crisp, pepper jack exteriors and a melt in your mouth interior. The mango salsa gives the dish a needed element of sweet, but seemed a little too "store bought" in terms of quality. Overall, a solid 4/5 stars, with just some room for improvement on the service and food quality. The Croquettas and Beef Short Ribs got top marks from the meat eaters at the table. read more

Our experience at Santiago's was amazing! My partner and I both did the brunch which included bottomless sangrias and mimosas. Our server, Ashley, was phenomenal. She recommended some items and she was so sweet and showed us amazing hospitality! We tried a good portion of the menu, as it was tapas style. The prime rib was great, as well as the frittata and hash browns. I loved the toffee cake as well! We ended up sitting outside due to an error on our end with reservations, so I can't speak to the ambiance inside but the patio was enjoyable, with umbrellas, fans, and comfortable seating at a high top. read more

Santiago's is my one of my all time favorite neighborhood spots! The tapas I order every-time are the prosciutto wrapped dates, the patatas bravas and the Saganaki. The Saganaki is a show stopping plate where the haloumi cheese is lit on fire in front of the table. They have a fantastic selection of drinks. The red sangria is typically what I order and if you are with a group you can order a pitcher for the table. As for cocktails, my standard is the prickly pear margarita. I've gone to Santiago's for dates, small dinners and with parties up to 10. If you are going on a weekend, I recommend making a reservation. On week nights, you can usually walk in with smaller parties. The best way to order is to order a bunch of plates and share them all. They have two happy hours each day, 4 p.m. - 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. - 1 a.m., and that is a great way to try out more of what this restaurant has to offer. read more

Omg I cannot have anything but amazing things to do!!!! The restaurant was so beautiful. They had both indoor and outdoor seating. The theme is very Spanish!! Will say the tables feel a bit close to each other and feels a bit claustrophobic but that isn't an issue for me. Our server, Malia, was amazing!!! The portions here are small and shareable. Our order: Beef carpaccio 8/10 personally I'm not a beef fanlike that but was good!! The truffle flakes were sooooo good!! Maybe I love it cuz of the truffle Yellowfin tuna ceviche 8/10 the sever did let us know that it was bigger chunks which I prefer finer but still good!! French onion 1000/10 honestly it was my first time trying it. I know it's a very popular dish and was skeptical of trying it out but I loved this sooooo much I guess it blew my expectations. Trio 10/10 I love hummus and how can you go wrong!! Brussels sprouts 100/10 probably one of the best Brussels sprouts I've tried!!! Avocado and pear 10/10 very light and a slight is sweetness with the pear. The dressing wasn't to overwhelming and pretty light. But again how can someone mess up a salad lolz. Dessert was amazing as well and we decided to get two Bread pudding 100000000/10 the dessert was amazing!!! Then again I did let the ice cream melt and soak into the croissant and it tasted like a tres leches cake Crepe 10/10 I like that the chocolate wasn't too sweet. Just wished they had bananas but again personal preference. Overall everything was amazing!!! Def come by and check them out. read more
