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!
