This place was amazing...the best brunch I've ever had. There were plenty of options as far as food the food was fresh and delicious. The staff was amazing very friendly and attentive...add in the bottomless drinks and you well it was a great morning! Everyone should go to this place for brunch!
Awesome place the Shrimp � Bisque was to die for and the Beef short ribs were amazing � highly recommend we had a very nice romantic and good dinner thanks chef �
What a gem this place is. Refreshing cocktails and tapas separate this hidden Orlando treasure from other similar tapas restaurant. The variety of flavors is genuine and awesome! FYI - best bread pudding I have ever had!!

Was pleasantly surprised surprised with this little hot spot. The waiters were very attentive and when we threw a curve ball and added 4 seats to our reservations they accommodated us with no problem. Food was great at a reasonable price. They have a good selection of craft beers on draft and a some delicious cocktails. Highly recommend.
I would recommend everybody in Orlando to try this place they have the best food and service Jamie and mike we're awesome
This place is amazing. From greerters to service and the food, Everything was Amazing....PS very romntic as well. Julia our server was amazing. We will definitely come back.
Celebrated a friend’s birthday there last night with 17 people all ordering happy hour drinks and plates, and everything went off without a hitch. Incredible variety of small plates, five $5 happy plates and $3 draft beers. The food was delicious and service top notch. I will definitely return!
Absolutely amazing. Great food. Good atmosphere and the sangria is phenomenal. Highly recommend it
Lovely atmosphere and fresh food! Love this place!! Definitely recommend!
I love this place! It has an awesome atmosphere, delicious food & great drinks. If you have a small wedding you can easily do your reception here, they were so easy to work with! I also love the art work :)
This place is amazing. Went for their Brunch, and the food was wonderful. Had the best prime rib & lamb, that I've had in a long time. Definitely looking forward to going back again soon!!
My friends and I took surprised our birthday girl with a trip here for brunch! Wow it was so delicious! My favs were the potatoes au gratin , roasted chicken, crab legs and the pasta! I wish I could have taken food to go. They also had a carving station with a cook. He was delightful! The atmosphere is quaint and artsy. The service was amazing! Larry (our waiter) took care of us! We brought a birthday cake and he even offered to store it for us (most places will not)! He had quite a few tables but we never felt neglected and he was so on point! He also brought the cake out with candles and serenaded the birthday girl with her boyfriend. Let's just say the harmonies were pitch perfect! We will be back! If you are reading this and trying to decide if this is where you want to dine - trust this foodie when I say - make a reservation now!
The ambience was beautiful, the service was excellent, the food was delicious! Exquisite art! Great place!
Brunch was amazing!!! So many options and every bite was delicious! Several different types of sangria and mimosas were all yummy! The service was great too! Will definitely be back!
Ever been to restaurant, where the entire wait staff and servers are cool and genuine as can be, and the food.. amazingness, and then dessert, and coffee.. WOW—superior!
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!

Santiago’s Bodega is a super solid place right near the North Orange/Mills Ave. area of Orlando! If you are craving small plates to share, there are very few restaurants that do it as good as here. An added bonus is this place is open SUPER late, so if it’s 1 am and you’re stuck deciding between Taco Bell and McDonald’s, why not go here?! It’s a thousand times better!! Finally, they have a whole gluten-free menu, so if you’re gluten-free, this is one of your best options!
We got a variety of different plates during our most recent visit - 2 tapas each person for lunch. If you’re hungry, you could easily have 3 per person. We had: Avocado and Pear Salad, Beef Carpaccio, Smoked Salmon Carpaccio, Yellowfin Tuna Ceviche, Saganaki and Beef Short Ribs. Everything was excellent - our favorites were the short ribs, beef carpaccio, and avocado/pear salad. If you get the bigger size, the salads are massive and a perfect option to share. The short ribs were so tender and flavorful - 100/10!! Both carpaccios were excellent, but the beef one is 100% the one I’d recommend. AMAZING. The ceviche was super fresh and awesome paired with the mango, and saganaki was a bit different than normal halloumi cheese in that it was baked rather than grilled, but still quite good! Our waitress was super friendly and nice as well - service is great here.
I can’t wait to come back to Santiago’s Bodega and try more tapas. I love sharing small plates with others because I get to try more things from the menu. This place is awesome!!
Arrived right as brunch was ending but a short wait at the bar with a wonderfully crafted drink made it seem like a breeze.
Excellent server, minimal wait for our plates and the food was delicious. Definitely must try the Halloumi cheese..
I have been wanting to go here because it was always so hyped up by everyone. I was SUPER excited for the saganaki. The presentation was fun, but the cheese was just hard and meh. The lamb, spicy lentil soup, and ribs were great, though! The tables were cramped and it was loud, but Alan was amazing.
With the outside temperature of only 47 degrees Fahrenheit, we had a delicious dinner on the patio in a cozy and warm atmosphere of Santiago's Bodega restaurant, Orlando, FL. Thank you, Malia and compliments to the Chef!
We were a walk in and sat at the bar. The food was great as was the service. But if you are looking for authenticate Spanish then you will only find a few dishes here. I would say it's Spanish fusion. Notwithstanding I would go back. Ribs were outstanding.

Perfect place for midnight breakfast (dinner after watching Disney fireworks) with delicated tasty small dishes.
Must try: Petite-rack Lamb
Recommend: Beef carpaccio
Highlight: they close at 2 a.m.
It made my day! After watching the fireworks at Disney, my friend and I were looking for a place to have dinner. It was a bit at that time due to the crowds. Finally we find Santiago's Bodega. It close late so that we can spend some time to enjoy the food.
Food: Food here is amazing. The Chef not only cook but also adopt some ideas to make every dish out-of-ordinary. For example, when I order lamb, I thought it will be toasted as other restaurants do. To my surprise, it services with cripy skin and the inner part is quite juicy. The other dish contains raw beef. The way everything mix together makes the beef does not taste raw at all. Side is bread and they are a great combination. My friend ordered beef steak and meatballs.
Service: friendly service and thanks for filling the water so many times. We were craved for water after the whole day walking.
Parking: The restaurant has its own parking lot. However, it is limited/the restaurant is too popular. We arrive very late and the parking lot is full. Luckily we do street parking nearby.

Santiago's Bodega, a charming tapas-style restaurant, offers a wonderfully casual and relaxed atmosphere that is a welcome change from the ordinary. Its heart and soul is its beverage selection, where bottomless mimosas and sangrias shine. These refreshing concoctions are generously poured and burst with vibrant flavors, sure to delight any brunch enthusiast or sangria lover.
Where Santiago's Bodega perhaps doesn't reach the zenith is in its food. The fare is decent, but it's not something that will take you on a culinary journey. That said, it's far from disappointing - the tapas are good, just not groundbreaking. A diverse range of flavors are present in the menu, but none are particularly memorable or unique.
That said, Santiago's Bodega offers an enjoyable experience overall. It's a great place to unwind and indulge in your favorite drink, with an ambiance that's hard to beat. While the food could use a bit more creativity and flair, the restaurant's charm lies in its inviting atmosphere and excellent mimosas and sangrias. This eatery earns a solid 4 stars and remains a great spot to meet friends for a leisurely weekend brunch.
Came here for my birthday and it was a great time. Beautiful restaurant. Seating for outside is available but it's June so inside we went! Amazing tapas menus and the sangria was top-notch. Something for everybody. Love the cocktail list! Bread pudding for birthday dessert, wish I could eat two!
We aren’t necessarily brunch people but after seeing what Santiago’s Bodega offered for their AYCE brunch, we had to give it a go. First of all this place gets packed so making sure you have a reservation is a must. Even though it’s a bit crazy and chaotic with all the tapas style plates coming out, service was oddly good. Everyone seemed to be hustling and besides a missed item that was quickly addressed it was a pretty awesome experience. Food was good - especially for this style of meal. Will you absolutely love everything - no - but there are some outstanding items and everything else was at least tasty and good. I would 100% do this again - it was a lot of fun and yummy!
We came to Santiago’s Bodega with the intention to eat brunch but, we missed it for a few minutes so, we ended having tapas and drinks.
Note that there’s no food service while the menu is switching so, if you’re hungry make sure to get the timing right.
That said, overall the food was very good, the tapas portions were actually shareable, the drinks were enjoyable and the service was diligent.
Well I was in town for one night on a customer project. Before I made the drive up from Fort Myers i scouted out a possible seafood restaurant and wine bar. I got to my hotel and started looking around a little on Yelp and Santiago's Bodega popped up. I looked at the pics, sorted through the newest reviews and checked the ETA from my hotel. Check, check and ✔️✔️✔️✔️. I didn't have reservations but as a single I was hoping they would be able to fit me in somewhere. Open, full service seating at the bar. Found a spot and settled in. Great service, great food, great drinks and NO Reason to not make it a stop on your journey through the area or a night out if you're a local. Food was fresh, hot and extremely tasty/authentic.
Step in, stop up and enjoy. Plenty of parking around the back of the building and apparently on the busier nights a reasonable valet is available. Indoor and plenty of outdoor seating. Tables for 2,4, 6 or more.
Enjoy!!
I was there for lunch on a Friday. The place wasn't crowded at all. Every dish we had was excellent! I recommend the wedge salad, short ribs, and brussel sprouts. Great service! You should try this place. I no longer have a dog, but there were dog bowls by the outdoor seating. I think it's dog friendly!

Coral was outstanding!! She took the best care of all 15 of us! Thank you for great memories! See you again this week!
Enjoyed the brunch for my friends birthday. I wish we came earlier to enjoy the atmosphere and endless drinks. The toffee cake is to die for I'll be thinking about it for a while. Good value for what you get especially if you arrive in the brunch window.
It was my first time there. We sat outside. Ordered a bottle of wine. Our server Sydney was very polite and attentive. The food is delicious. It's tapas style so you can try bunch of things. There are some vegetarian options. The donuts are very tasty and not too sweet. The parking is free. Great experience.
Great lil tapas restaurant, little bit of an awkward moment getting seated (double doors, right door goes to the bar area and left door goes to the hostess station). Rather busy but not "too" busy but ended up hanging out at the bar.
Bar staff was great, a bit rustic on the inside, staff overall were quick to address any concerns / requests.
Small plates overall were great, perfect sizing for two people (order three, contemplate the fourth) and everything was nicely cooked and quite tasty.
Short ribs were a definite standout, chicken skewers (not pictured because the wife just attacked them) were a close second, and everything else was overall just great.
My only real recommendations would honestly be to end up re-designing the entrance a bit into the establishment itself (not the outdoor patio access) or consider moving the hostess area just outside / modernizing to self-seating.
Went here for the first time and mad I haven't come sooner. Service was amazing 👏, red sangria was so good. I also had a wedge salad, which was a little big for the plate it was served in, which made it hard to not make a mess. Also ordered tequila lemon drops, edemame, and peppers to try a few items. The bathroom was clean, and the atmosphere was very chill and relaxed. Went for a date and saw some friends come in so after we ate we joined them this place is good for either occasion. Can't wait to check out the brunch!
