A fantastic dining experience here. I’ve been twice now and both time was more than satisfied. The options are plentiful and the food is always incredible. Drinks are great as well, and the service is friendly. Both times we’ve sat outside so I cannot speak to the atmosphere indoors but outside is a nice spacious patio with the occasional car but nothing too loud

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!

Tried this place on a date night. We had a reservation set up before hand. When we got there we basically got in right away. Our waiter was super nice. Dry humor and all the personality. I ended up getting Lyres spritz non-alcoholic drink which I enjoyed! My fiancé got Zero proof Hugo and enjoyed it. We ordered the following to share: Yucca fries, pretty good. Prosciutto and manchego crustini: really tasty. Green beans: something I felt I could have made at home. Chicken lettuce wraps: pretty good. Overall was pleased with this place. Happy hour was from 3-6pm.

Go for the food, stay for the service! I highly recommend you hang out with Coral at the bar and stay a while. Happy hour here is great with some solid specials 3-7pm (psssst the sangria is delish) The tapas style menu is a fun experience of textures and flavors, comes out hot and fresh and also staggered so nothing gets cold. Coral is amazing! She has a wonderful command over the bar, not one empty drink and everyone has fun conversations with her. She highly entertaining. Ask her about her fave secret menu item. You won’t be disappointed! Orlando is full of gems and this one is diamond level

Santiago’s Bodega has the right idea when it comes to an all you can eat brunch. The menu options are just right and come with unlimited mimosas or sangrias. This isn’t a buffet style all you can eat, you order off the menu and it’s bright to your table. The portion sizes are small, which I liked because it less likely for people to waste food. We started with the salad which was refreshing and tasty. We got the peel and eat shrimp, sausage and bacon, prime rib, croissant French toast, hash casserole and the toffee cake and ice cream. We enjoyed everything! I would recommend this place!

We had an amazing lunch experience at this venue. Our server was very polite and very attentive. The tapas menu is very limited but oh my what we tried was delicious. Best onion soup in town and the shrimp and chorizo was very fresh and crispy. The tapas sizes are big and presentation is chef style. The local is very romantic and music on the background is suited to have the best dining experience. Wine and dessert menus are just a cherry on top for this now my favorite restaurant!

The second you walk in you know you are in for a treat. The walls are covered in art from an amazing "Dali-esq" artist who has passed, the waitstaff is Amazing and the food is superb. We had Spicy shrimp bisque - literally the best bisque I have ever eaten. Yellow fin tune ceviche - fresh, amazing, just ...GET IT bacon wrapped dates - creamy goat cheese, crispy bacon... Do I need to say more? The drinks were amazing Really just go, you won't be disappointed

First time trying this location for Brunch, and it was great! Very nice selection of small plates to order and lots of items to try and share with your table! Our group had a very nice time together there and it was lots of fun. We all enjoyed the food and the atmosphere! Some of our favorites were the croissant french toast, shrimp, toffee cake with ice cream, and the mimosas!
