Santiago's Bodega Fort Lauderdale

Santiago's Bodega's Endless Brunch is a culinary gem. Chef Daniel's meticulous attention to each dish was evident, considering he personally delivered the food and checked on us frequently. Some of the highlights for me include the unforgettable candied bacon, delectable cheesy hash and the prime rib, which was truly standout. You honestly can't go wrong with any dish, we tried them all. Thomas also helped out as well as others from the friendly staff, all of which provided excellent service. Prices are wallet-friendly, and I'm already counting down the days until my next visit! This is a must try spot, five stars across the board 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🍴

Cozy, quirky, cool tapas restaurant. Menu isn’t big, but it’s quality, everything we ordered was delicious and shareable for 2 people dining. We started with soup, I had the spicy shrimp bisque and my boyfriend had the gazpacho. Next was the mozzarella burrata, I recommend getting bread with it, otherwise it’s a blob of cheese with pesto and tomato (still very delicious). After we were served the roasted sprouts with cheese and pine nuts on top, I wish it was crispy, but the flavor was very good. Last but certainly not least, the 6 oz sirloin in blue cheese butter, chefs kiss. It was tender, practically melted in our mouths, I 100% recommend.

We also experienced their brunch, and everything we had on the menu was very good...even the bowl of fruit. It is still tapas style, but all you can eat for $48 pp (adult), drinks included, less specialty drinks which is extra. There is no buffet, the food is brought to your table, rather quickly I might add. I also 100% recommend. we tried a good portion of the menu, the hash was my favorite.

This cozy restaurant has left the best impressions! Hospitable hosts, delicious dishes, beautiful presentation and wonderful dessert. I recommend to everyone! Chef Daniel Camargo came and delivered every tapas we ordered. He kindly explained each dish and genuinely cared for our experience. The place has very nice and interesting art!

I highly recommend the French toast and the patatas bravas!

What a great place. As soon as you walk in the door, you get a nice feeling. You are greeted with a smile. We were greeted by Brendon our server as soon as we sat down. We asked him a couple of questions about some of the drinks and wine, and decided on a jalapeno margarita, and my sister had the Drop Martini (their version of the lemon drop), both were good. Everything was Tapas and we shared quite a few. We started with the Saganaki which they flambe at the table, followed by a Greek salad for 2. I switched to a Poloma cocktail, and my sister ordered an iced tea (which she did not receive and was glad because she decided she needed water). We then ordered the beef tenderloin with blue cheese butter, so delicious and tender, you could cut this with a fork. Continuing with the Roman Meatballs, which were good. To Top off the evening we ordered the crepes and bread pudding. Brenden informed us they had run out of bread pudding (although we were still charged for it). So, crepes it was, and they were delicious. This place has a lot of little alcoves where single tables are. Brendon was very professional and knowledgeable, excellent with his recommendations. My sister noticed that the place was busier than any other time she was there, and other than a couple of things Brendon was very attentive and an excellent server. They have a little outside area that is quiet and cozy with a very nice painting on the wall. Very clean inside and outside, very cute atmosphere, and the lady’s restroom was very clean. Everything that we ordered was delicious and perfect for 2 people to share. I would highly recommend this place to anyone in the area. Thank you for your great hospitality! We will be back!

This is an absolutely fabulous place. Great tapas menu with lots of variety. The portions are the perfect size and the quality of product they use is very good. I have been there a dozen times or so and I have to say the food is consistently very good. They offer a full bar and good wine list. Having a wonderful staff with a great atmosphere makes this a very cool place to have a relaxing cocktail or an enjoyable bite to eat.

This place is nice, Sean was taking care of us and he was amazing. Food was great and quick. If you like Tapas style, this is your place. Not very often I can find good food and friendly service.

So first of all, this is our first visit to this restaurant. It was for Valentine's Day. We decided to sit outside because the weather was really nice. They had a really nice outdoor patio area the ambience really nice. We ordered some tapas to begin with then we decided to order the lamb shank, the chef Daniel brought it out and it was amazing. It was thoroughly cooked. It was tender and juicy. We also ordered the bread pudding for dessert and that was amazing the attention to detail by the chef was amazing. we are definitely coming back to this location and we recommended to anybody that hasn't been yet.

Amazing place. First visit was to the key west location the newer ft Lauderdale location doesn't let done any quality over the original location. Just as great. Amazing work nice staff better food.

I have been going to Santiago’s since they opened. I love the atmosphere, but never really ate because I wasn’t a fan of the food. They brought a new executive chef in about 6 months ago, and now I eat everything on the menu!! Chef Dan brings new specials in all the time, and they are absolutely amazing! Especially the risottos. Highly recommend stopping by for some tapas and a drink!!

This place is awesome. Decorated very cool and cozy, nice velvet booths, attentive staff, great sangria's, and delicious tapas. Had the short ribs, the potatoes, gazpacho, pear salad, dates and chicken skewer. I enjoyed everything. Liked the fact that the sangria wasn't sweet, and that it was served in a large wine glass. Parking was easy though you pay to park. Recommend this place for a little cultural experience or date night. Prices are reasonable too.

I loved the atmosphere and vibe of Santiago's! We were fortune enough to be able to come when there was great weather so we sat outside and people watched. We ordered the sticky ribs (must try), patatas bravas (which they were softer in the center but liked the crunch), halumi cheese, mini quesadillas (had a crunchy cheese crust), and chicken skewers (wished they had a char on them).
The service was absolutely amazing!

I travel to a lot of places and I have to say that this little place is not just a hidden gem its a diamond in the rough. The food was absolutely delicious and that's saying alot from someone who eats in cities all over the US. They serves tapas style food, which is great for sharing, because you get to try a little of everything. I would be very hard pressed to say which dish was my favorite. I judge Italian restaurants by their meatballs, so let me start there with the Roman meatballs. I really didn't know what Roman meatballs, the flavor was outstanding and they were topped with noodles, a sauce and parmesean cheese. They were cooked to perfection and large sized meatballs! Excellent choice. The spicy shrimp soup was the best shrimp soup I've ever eaten. The roasted Brussels had a unique flavor and were also cooked to perfection. The lamb chop in the picture was my least favorite. It had too much breading and not enough meat. If I have anything bad to say, the cheeseboard was underwhelming. Could use some meats, nuts and more cheese. They have a full bar and drinks were worth the price. The decor is odd, they have these weird pictures with people whose eyes seem to watch you.

We did sunday brunch here, and we couldn't believe it was empty, the food was amazing, loved the paintings. Must try

From a Chicagoan foodie, one of the best restaurant experiences I’ve ever had! Phenomenal from start to finish. Perfect fusion blend of deliciousness while offering an eclectic environment perfect for any occasion. Visit if you can, you won’t regret.

Mannnnnn, this place deserves 10 stars due to the food alone. Everything was exquisite from the hickory brown sugar bacon to the biscuits and gravy! Chef Daniel Carmango did an amazing job with every plate and even introduced himself to our table. I have experienced the Orlando location several times while living there and was elated to know that the food quality and service at this location was quite consistent. I was surprised, however, that the crowds were low considering the excellent food and customer service here. I’m confident, nevertheless, that once the community catches on to this place, the wait times will be crazy!

All the food and service are awesome! They have private parking lot in the back, so make sure you parked there! We didn't know and we parked on the street,but it wasn't too much.

Their queasadilla are different kind and never had that type of queasadilla before, which is awesome!
Onion soup was great too, rack of lamb was too little too few I think for that price, but the crust are awesome.
Overall all of them are great!

Came here with my family and friends, the server was very personable even interacted with my kiddos. The owner even came by to check on us throughout our brunch. The experience was great food , customer service, atmosphere, even the restrooms were clean and had a nice decor. 10/10 we will definitely be returning!

The food was amazing, the service was exquisite, and the atmosphere was delightful. Nicole was an excellent server, and Tommy and Alex are great bartenders. Great chefs! A+

The best experience every time! Food is great quality and super fresh, everything on the menu is sooo good! Service is always amazing and the staff is super friendly; the restaurant itself is so so pretty too. They have an amazing brunch+happy hr, honestly one of my favorite restaurants ever and definitely one of the best in Ft. Lauderdale

I looked online for the best brunch in the area and found out about this place. You wont be disappointed. My server walked me through the menu and it all sounded amazing. He sold me on the sparkling sangria. Prime rib and hashbrowns were my favorite. Brendon really made the whole experience and i will be back with all my friends for the fantastic food and hospitality
