Arrived late in Orlando and was dreading the idea of having nothing but fast food available. Found this wonderful gem that stayed open late on Monday with great food and drinks. Has a romantic atmosphere, and I was unfortunately there by myself on business, but totally great! Their espresso martinis were excellent!
Did a brunch here with my bookclub girls and we had so much fun! Our server (Shirley I think her name was) was amazing and the rest of the staff was super helping with clearing our dishes since they have an all-you-can-eat menu and bottomless mimosas. Our only complaint was sitting in the back where it’s a littler darker and quieter but we still had a great time. The food was amazing!
Great meal and service. Rain the host was great. Lots of great tapas options and a nice Ivanhoe district vibe. Indoor and outdoor seating with good ambiance. Get the croissant donuts for dessert and I promise you won't be disappointed.. Our other favorite was the short rib!!
The experience they provide is amazing. Food is fantastic and service really good. Is always a go to with family that comes to visit Orlando
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!
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!
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!
