The 21 Best Brunches in Orlando, 2021 | Eater Miami

"The all-you-can-eat, tapas-style brunch is what packs them into this Ivanhoe Village hotspot every weekend from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., though the offerings are decidedly less Spanish leaning than its regular menu. Still, the fare can be as eclectic as the clientele with everything from snow crab and peel-and-eat shrimp to biscuits and gravy and croissant French toast. The bottomless brunch runs $49.95 and includes your choice of mimosa or sangria." - Faiyaz Kara

Orlando’s Best Happy Hours | Eater

"Santiago’s College Park hideaway is a bodega by the Spanish definition, meaning romantic and lantern-lit, with stained-glass cabinets over the bar, a wine list heavy on European imports, and numerous cozy tables for people to linger over pitchers of sangria. Umbrellas shade the long brick patio, with ceiling fans assisting the occasional light breeze. The interior is split into separate rooms for an intimate feel, and every wall features art in a mix of styles. While the menu of $5 tapas changes, the happy hour drink offerings stay the same: half-price sangria, draft beers, and single-pour well drinks." - Vox Creative

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

Great little spot for tapas! The food was really good, service was friendly, and the atmosphere was great. Had a very nice experience overall. P.S. Reservations are recommended.

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 💎

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!

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!

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!

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!

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

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.

Santiago's Bodega is always a go-to spot for me, especially for their late-night happy hour. There's just something about unwinding after 11 PM with their sangrias and tapas that hits the spot. I have to admit, though, that the recent price increases are a bit of a bummer. And the happy hour menu this last time just didn't quite do it for me. The prosciutto canape was not the best; the flavors just didn't mesh well. But hey, that's part of the adventure at Santiago's, right? You never know exactly what will be on offer, which keeps things interesting. And their sangrias? Always a winner. My past experiences at Santiago's have been nothing short of five-star. The food is usually fantastic, the vibe is cool, and the outdoor seating is a major plus. So even though this last visit wasn't perfect, I'm still a fan. I'll definitely be back, hoping for some of those old happy hour favorites to make a return!

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.

We visited Santiago's bodega on a Friday night. We had a 6pm reservation and were seated immediately. Our table was in the far back of the restaurant, and it was sweltering. They had a portable fan by us, and honestly if it weren't there, it would've been nicer outside (and it's July in Florida) We started with drinks. My friend and I each ordered a mojito which . . . I'm like 99% sure they made us virgin mojitos. It didn't taste like it had rum in it, and they charged us $8 for them (for context, my friend's mocktail was $7). Then we got a whole bunch of tapas, highlights were the puff pastries, beef carpaccio, and mini quesadillas. I got the lamb rack, and it was cooked right but greatly under seasoned. You can do so much with lamb, and it disappointed me. We also ordered the yellowtail ceviche and . . . That wasn't ceviche. In ceviche, the fish is cured in citrus. This fish was raw. It was straight huge chunks of raw fish with some avocado and mango and a citrus sauce at the bottom. It felt more like an attempt at a poke, but the cuts were huge so that wasn't quite right either. The green beans were good, but I found myself wishing they were warm. The service here was really good, and our server checked in on us all night. Overall, I'd definitely go back to try other stuff, but I'd avoid certain items, make sure they understand that I want alcohol, and get a high top since those are in the cooler part of the restaurant.

I love the tapas style family dining here! We came here with a large party and ordered a bit of everything! I got the pear and avocado salad, chicken lettuce wrap,puff pastries and flourless chocolate cake for the table. The salad was refreshing and lovely, and a nice portion size for the table! The rest of the tapas are a bit small for the price and not as easy to share, but we make it work. Everything that made its way to the table was delicious! The waiter was attentive and great for our party! I will be back

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Santiago Bottega in Altamonte Springs for brunch to celebrate my friend's birthday, and it was an unforgettable experience! The ambiance was absolutely beautiful, perfect for a special occasion. Our group of 10-15 was taken to a private section in the back of the restaurant, which provided a cozy and intimate setting with a large table that comfortably seated our party. The arrangement was ideal, with just another booth nearby, making it feel exclusive and well-organized. We opted for the tapas-style brunch special, priced around $45-$50, which included unlimited drinks and food from the brunch menu for two hours--a fantastic deal! The food was nothing short of AMAZINGGGGGGG! Every dish I tasted was incredible, and the small portions allowed us to savor each meal without feeling overly stuffed. The pasta, in particular, was divine. I also enjoyed two sangrias of different flavors, which were delightful. The service was outstanding throughout our brunch. Despite the challenge of serving a large group with various orders, the servers did an exceptional job. Every request was honored, and they made sure everyone felt comfortable and satisfied. While there were a few instances where we had to reorder a menu item due to a delay or oversight, it was understandable given the size of our party. The servers were attentive, frequently checking if we needed anything and efficiently clearing plates. This was my first visit to Santiago Bottega, and it certainly won't be my last. This place is truly a hidden gem, perfect for any special occasion. I look forward to returning with my boyfriend, best friend, or even family to enjoy another delightful brunch. Highly recommended!

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.

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.

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.

One of the best brunches I have ever had. This place is delicious!! So delicious that we sat in the patio in 95 degree weather the brunch is tapas style and for $50 per person you get unlimited mimosas or sangria along with any and all food items on their brunch menu. The mimosas and sangria were strong! They did not miss a beat with anything. From the service to the food, which came out fast and hot. Everything was Devine. I wish we had Santiago's in Jax, FL!

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

This is a great spot for hanging out late night! We usually sit out front on the patio and do mainly drinks with just a few tapas selections. They have a happy hour that starts later in the evening (I wanna say 11??) with lots of great deals. We love coming here for girls nights and catching up with friends. Everyone who works here is very friendly and we always have this one server when we sit outside late-night (wish I knew her name!!) who is very friendly and super fun! Favorite tapas are the saganaki and the patatas braves.

Valet parking made the visit easy, and I highly recommend making a reservation. The bottomless sangria was delicious and refreshing. The tapas-style brunch was fantastic for tasting a bit of everything. The French toast was heavenly, the candied bacon perfectly sweet and savory, and the peel-and-eat shrimp were fresh and flavorful. Each dish was better than the last. Santiago's Bodega offers a unique and enjoyable brunch experience with excellent service and delicious food.

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.

We came today for Sunday brunch. Sunday brunch is 47.95 a person for all you care to eat and bottomless mimosas/sangria. We made reservations earlier this morning and the reservations were nearly full. I recommend making reservations earlier in the week if possible. Staff was very friendly. Everyone I saw was smiling. Seeing happy employees is a beautiful thing. A smile goes a long way. I ate until it hurt!! Every thing that I had was delicious. You can see my choices in the photos below. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a nice brunch.

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.

Love love love this place. Originally came here for my girlfriend's 2nd birthday dinner. We shared the brussel sprouts and patatas bravas, I had the spicy shrimp bisque and a few glasses of the red sangria. The spicy shrimp bisque is sooo good, it has a little kick but is so creamy and delicious, I came back a few months later on a late night just for the bisque. The patatas bravas have a nice crunch and freshness thanks to the tomatoes and olives with a kick from the sauce that comes alongside. The brussel sprouts were just okay to me. I prefer mine a bit crispier but these weren't bad, just a little basi The waitstaff was attentive but not overbearing and the ambience is very cute. This place is awesome for happy hour too, and also for date nights or special occasions. I definitely will be back.

I love a good tapas restaurant, and Santiago's is one of my go to's! My husband and I stopped in for dinner after a long work day. We didn't have reservations but luckily there was a table available for us, as long as we were finished with our meal in two hours. Once we were seated our server walked us through the happy hour specials for their drinks and tapas. We usually like to order several items and share at the table, with the saganaki being the MUST order item! We ended up choosing the bacon wrapped dates, mini quesadillas, spicy shrimp bisque, puff pastry, and the avocado & pear salad. By the time we devoured everything we were just full enough to call it an evening and skipped out on dessert. All of our food came out with good timing, so there was never a time where we were sitting and waiting for our next dish. This spot is a great place for date night or dinner with friends! For the Virginia location parking in the back is tight, so plan to arrive ahead of schedule to make sure you have time to find a spot!

Food here is always great. Ordered the the lentil soup. Spiced right, not too salty, the lamb rack was a little bit salty, and prepped right, not gamy. The patatas bravas was cooked well and flavorful. Service is always good and fast. If you want to be seated, fast and quick, make sure you make a reservation. The ambience is always relaxed.

I came here on a Saturday with 4 ladies to celebrate a birthday. The interior is so cute with art all over the walls in the lounge area. I appreciated that they offer Michael's and I got the n/a watermelon margarita. Our server was friendly and though he was busy he did try to come around as often as he could to take more orders and check on us. My favorite item was the avocado pear salad, the greens were so fresh and it's a hearty serving for half salad. The pear goes well in this delectable salad. The chicken skewers were substantial but a bit tough to chew so I didn't love the texture. I also enjoyed the croissant donuts with a berry compote and they were kind enough to make it without the cinnamon sugar coating to accommodate my diet. Overall it was good for such a busy weekend night and I would like to try other items on the menu.

Looking for a super local yummy brunch where you can try a dozen things (tapas style) and there's complimentary variety mimosas and sangrias built into the price? Tapas style menu, but all you can eat. Ages ago it was buffet style but now their super fun and attentive team will make you feel well cared for. Our glasses were never empty, and we were long happy and full long before our 2 hour seating was up. Do yourself a favor and make sure you save space for the toffee cake and buttermilk pie. Crosssiant French toast was also delish. This isn't to say the savory dishes didn't impress, from the simple peel and eat shrimp to prime rib, it was all great! (Thanks Natalie and Team.)

I came here for a good friend's birthday Brunch (party of 6) on a Sunday and it was an amazing experience! We were sat in a spacious high top, close to the bar. The restaurant was so cute with funky art and eccentric decor, our waitress was also really attentive and recommended some great things to try. I started off with the White Sangria and i'm so glad I stuck to that one as it was refreshing and sweet. I was a little bit disappointed with their Red Sangria because it was very dry and kind of bitter. I love that we were able to get our drinks to go as well! Our party did the bottomless brunch & mimosas deal which also included a few other drinks. The food portions were Tapa-style so they were perfect for ordering a few dishes for the whole table to try. We tried a little bit of everything but the Apricot Croissant French Toast & the Hashbrown Casserole deserve a special shoutout because they were so darn good!! The food is made and brought out to order, but the only critique I have was some of the dishes that were brought out were kind of cold like they were already prepared and sitting out for a bit. Overall, it was a great time and I will definitely be back to try out their dinner menu

I love sharing food. It's a great way to try out new dishes and enjoy a meal with my loved ones. The Brussel Sprouts were fantastic, and the Pork Tenderloin was very tender. However, my favorite dish was the Beef Short Ribs, although it was a little too sweet for my taste. We also ordered a potato dish which was just okay. The Lychee Martini was also delicious. I enjoy the Tapas style of dining, but the price can be a bit high because the portions are quite small. The service was okay, but I felt like they were trying to rush us out a bit. The ambiance of the restaurant is trendy and chic.

Atmosphere was super cool. Service was good. Food was delicious. I wasn't a fan of sangayaki, the alcohol was not cooked off at all, I mentioned this to the server who basically dismissed my concerns and did not offer a replacement. Other than that, I was a delightful experience. The sangria was delicious; both the red and sparkling. On site parking was a plus!

This place is absolutely amazing! I have now been here twice, both for work-related dinners. Most recently, my office had our holiday dinner on a Tuesday evening before Christmas. The staff was EPIC! Honestly, next-level positive, friendly people who did not miss a beat when serving our table of 15. We ordered literally every hot dish and nothing was bad. The beef with goat cheese was my personal favorite with the saganaki being a table favorite! Honestly, everything was great nothing came out the wrong temperature and we had plenty of time to eat, drink, and make it to our next stop. I have rarely seen service of this level with the kitchen keeping up and nothing being missed. Well done!!

Good food, good drinks, and friendly staff make this a good spot to get together with friends. They have a full bar and craft some tasty cocktails. The wine selection was also impressive. The star is the food, though. There is a nice selection of small plates that will satisfy just about anyone. We ordered a lot of different things, but my favorite was the papas bravas. It was very busy the night we went and I suspect it usually is on a Saturday night. It can be quite loud inside, which makes it difficult to hold a conversation, but we still had a great time with our small group. My only concern was the cleanliness of the bathroom. I think they could do a better job of staying on top of that without sacrificing quality elsewhere. A dirty public space makes me wonder what's happening in the areas I can't see.

While this has been on the foodie list forever it took me a while to get around and try this place. We ventured out to the altomonte location and were pleasantly surprised that it was not packed. Service was good. Sangria was meh Spicy shrimp soup was good The baby lamb chops were awesome The chicken skewers were delicious The petit meat was over seasoned

Second time here and I was incredibly impressed. The variety of tapas blew me away. Fun twists on recipes. The beef with blue cheese and short ribs were my favorite. The sparkling sangria was excellent. Our waitress was perfect. Can't wait to go back. The vibe inside was also very cool.

Food was overall okay, I didn't think the food was tapas and had a very random list of food items. The patatas bravas and ribs left a lot to be desired. Sangria was good though and a generous portion.

My family brought me here for Mother's Day, reservations were for 10:30. Didn't receive first serving until 11:00 and everything there after was sloooowww. They were out of soup and toffee cake. No spoons for the soup or ice cream Took a trip to the bathroom and the talk in there by everyone was not only how slow the food was but how dissatisfied and disappointed everyone was with service and not

Gambled a little bit by coming here without a reservation, but we were quickly seated. The service here was very good, though our particular server was probably a little overloaded. She was excellent, but didn't come by as frequently as I would have liked, given that it is a tapas place. I would give the food here a "B" overall, with some dishes bringing the grade up to make for some things that were pretty lackluster. We had the potato and leek soup with bacon. It was good but could have had some more flavor to it. We had the bruschetta which was tasty but somewhat overloaded with tomatoes in a way that left the bread soggy. This would be less of an issue if you had a table of 4 because each piece would be eaten before becoming soggy. We had the yellowtail ceviche which was good but somehow had some pieces of fish that had a gristly texture, which was something I've never experienced. It was otherwise very good. We had the meatballs which really let us down. They were flavorful but dry as a bone. We had the tenderloin which was amazing. The highlight was really dessert. One of us had bread pudding and the other had crepes. Both desserts were remarkable.

This is one of my favorite brunch spots to recommend to friends that are new to Orlando. The servers are so friendly and knowledgeable. The food is delicious...and it feels endless. I highly recommend ordering two of the French toast though. It's definitely my favorite thing on the brunch menu. Overall, the restaurant has a fun aesthetic and vibe, and it's a great Saturday or Sunday brunch spot.

Visited here with my nephew since we are not from Orlando. He ordered everything on the tapas menu and it was excellent. Loved the Beef Carpaccio, it was so delicate (+5), Dates and cheese, wrapped in prosciutto, dish was great (5), Shrimp and Chorizo was nice with a little heat to it. One of my favorites. Highly recommend the lamb it was tender and delicious. The Miniature Quesadillas was tasty and its something different. Beef Short Ribs were my favorite for the night. We had a variety of wines and drinks as well. Overall a very nice place for lunch or dinner, would definitely come back. They have some beautiful art pieces around the restaurant that are phenomenal as well.

Super nice staff! The food was SO good. I got the market price steak and it was cooked to PERFECTION. I wouldn't recommend the flaming cheese plate as it was black on top and super salty underneath. It turned into basically rubber. But the charcuterie board was super flavorful and can be split between two people very well. That port sangria they make in house is also perfect. I highly recommend going during happy hour, (we went from 11pm-1am) for 4 drinks, a steak, a charcuterie board, and a cheese plate, we spent $100. That's unheard of anywhere else in orlando. The decor is hemingway themed and the low lighting inside is just perfect for a romantic dinner. Would HIGHLY recommend coming back!

It's nice. The staff is impeccable, friendly, professional + savvy. Valet is $2. Parking is limited. The food was good. We paid $80. My wife's a vegetarian + her food was $40. So everything was good, but not worth the $80. We got little tiny appetizers, tapas. The puff pastry + the beef tenderloin were delicious but probably double the price that they should be. The ambiance is nice. It was packed. I feel like this place is for ppl on portion control bc you won't get much, 3-4 bites a tapa, which are on avg $15 a piece. But honestly take yourself to a nice steak place + buy yourself a nice steak. It'll be as good + you'll feel full. This place is over priced + the food while good, but the flavor + seasoning does not warrant the prices they are charging. Nothing spectacular. I've had spectacular + this wasn't it. But if you have unlimited funds, nice place to mix things up. I just go for better food at a better price point. The better deal is the Bodega in Altamonte for all you can eat brunch.

I love tapas because I get to try many things without filling up too fast. I especially love Spanish tapas. I found this place on Yelp and it looked like a long scenic walk from my hotel to work up my appetite. This place is located about .5 a mile from Ivanhoe Village in Mills Area. The bar was first come first serve and there happened to be 2 bar seats open. The bartender was very helpful with my food and drink selections. I ordered the red sangria to drink and beef tenderloin with blue cheese butter, patatas bravas, and a Greek salad. This place have a very comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. I now have food comatose! Everything was outstanding. The Greek salad, paired well with the beef tenderloin and patatas bravas. The beef tenderloin with the blue cheese melt was great. Highly recommend Santiago's Bodega. Thank you!

one of my favorite spots! their food is shared tapas style, so you're able to try a lot of the menu & it's all amazing. The service is fast & you'll receive at least two plates within 5 minutes of ordering. The restaurant usually has dimmed lighting & interesting artwork.

This place has such good food. I've been to two locations and each time is for Sunday brunch when they have the unlimited snow crab legs. Fantastic brunch spot, great service and music choices. Inside and outside seating are available. Service is amazing! Highly recommend!

Vegans - don't be afraid to dine here. I know I'm the first review to discuss this topic but it's true. Santiago's has a separate, printed vegetarian menu. On it, they designate how most vegetarian option can be made vegan. Also, for those gluten-free folks, there's a separate menu for you, too:) I tried the lentil soup, a salad, potatoes, string beans and Brussels sprouts. All were yummy and I left very full! Also the sparkling sangria was delicious!

I will continue to sing this places praises. Not only is this place great for breakfast, but they also offer menu items that make a great meal too. We decided to stop in here on December 26 and surprisingly it was a little bit busy but we were able to sit at the bar. I ordered a mimosa and my friend ordered a coffee liquor drink. I would highly recommend the cheese quesadilla pictured below as they are some of the best tapa style quesadillas I had. The drinks were great and the service was as well Now don't expect anything cheap here. It's a little pricey but worth it to stop in for a bite and drink
