I recall the good times when I use to visit Santiago's Bodega in both Altmonte and the location closer to downtown Orlando, Florida where the food was exceptional the drinks were merry and the array of options to eat was endless. Many things have changed since experiencing my latest visit to Santiago. In addition, to the limit of food options they were out of ice cream among many other things. Everytime we asked for something on their menu they were either out or just did not have anything left. Furthermore, the drinks for myself and my guests all stated the same "water down" not even strong just awful. I would not recommend dining or even attending sunday funday brunch at this location or any.

Terrible customer service. I have called over 10 times over the course of a 3 day period to make a reservation for a party of 12 but no one will ever answer the phone. It doesn’t matter what time of the day it is no one ever answers. The call recording says to make a reservation online but there is no way to do so. If you don't want my business thats fine. Ill never recommend this place to any businesses for events.

Very expensive and the food doesn't live up to the price. Definitely never going back again.

The chefs change and so does the food quality. The waitress or waiters or a hit and miss at brunch on Sundays. Your hash brown casserole and frittata may come out burnt or eatable. However they cook , it's clear they will serve it to the customer no matter what. I stopped going when they started burning the candied bacon and serving cold sausage.
Get the cherry-hoisin short ribs. Amaze-balls. If you love smoked salmon, enjoy the Salmon Carpaccio. House sangria is a standout. Refreshing and made with love. For salad, split a half-plate of their spinach salad. Interesting, wholesome, and very satisfying. Perfect dressing. This is a lovely place to eat, where people work that actually enjoy serving delicious food to patrons. Just go.

Went for brunch this morning with my wife. We went to the Orlando location last year and tried Altamonte today because it's closer. WOW loved this place!! Chris our waiter was the best and can't wait to go back. From the decor to the positive vibe and the excellent food it was worth the price of admission

Shoutout to Jared for being a peak host, he hosted my sweet 16 2 years ago and everything was perfect, the food was excellent and the vibe and atmosphere of the entire restaurant was very warm and welcoming, not just the servers but the guests and customers too. I'll never forget the art and the decorations, and i'll always love the chain owner's wife for being such an amazing woman-- not just the professional who helped my mom arrange everything. Jared has been my friend for nearly a decade now and I will never forget that birthday party for being absolutely perfect and just overall one of the best restaurant experiences I have ever had let alone birthday party. I've been to tons of restaurants and eat out all the time but if I want to visit a classic restaurant, I'll go to Santiago's Bodega. Thank you Miss Tanya and Jared and all of the staff for making that event very memorable for all of us .

Nice dinner with friends, as usual! Nice menu choices and wine/beer assortment. Some old favorites still on menu and still delicious! A bit noisy for conversation, but crowd thinned out! Still a bit dark (thank G-d for cell phone lights!) but nice overall.

So many menu items not available. And prices are very high especially for the very small serving sizes. I think the idea of Tapas is to share but sizes are for one.
Love this place. Excellent tapas and Spanish food , nice music and cozy interior, more casual if you like sitting outside. Service was great as well.

The watermelon Martini was really good! So was the beef carpacio. It was not busy, but it took quite a while for the server to greet us. Drinks took a long time as well. We all (5 of us) ordered at the same time, but our food all came out separately, so some were almost done eating by the time the last of the food came

My friends and I went on Sunday Feb.18,2024 at 10:30am . It was my first time and it was a fabulous experience. There was no wait, the service was fantastic (Maverick) sp?. He was run crazy by us ladies. He waited on us with such care !!! The shrimp, prime rib, broccoli salad was my favorites. The booth we were seated in had plenty of room and velvet cushions. It was very comfortable. This restaurant is one of the best !!!

We love this location. We only have gone for Saturday and Sunday brunch for their bottomless mimosas. The servers are always amazing and so attentive. Jordan was so great this past time and made sure we were happy. The food is consistently amazing and we never have any complaints. The restaurant is lovely and cozy at the same time. We have sat outside and inside and feel great with either. Thank you for always making us come back for brunch.

This was recommended by a colleague so my girlfriend and I decided to check this place out for her birthday. We were sat in the corner which gave us a lot of privacy. The waiter was great at explaining the restaurant concept and menu items. Both of us have traveled worldwide so it was familiar for what they offered and it was impressive. Every single bite was delicious and flavorful, we took our time to indulge every bite and wish we had room for more.
