Reviews for Santiago's Bodega | Fort Lauderdale in Fort Lauderdale, FL
Great food and service in a beautiful date atmosphere! They did a great job designing the interior to make it warm and... welcoming. Rack of lamb was was great and the mushroom puff was superb. Meatballs were good but the spaghetti was super spicy.Just beware its hot. Try the happy hour deals. But? the music is too loud from the 80s lol so conversation is hard withclients. At least make it Spanish music! Corporate supposedly controls it??????? Other thing was $20 for a vodka martini???? Somake sure you are aware of the drink prices. Why i had it higher but dropped the stars. No more meetings here for me??????? Read more
My go-to spot for quick bites and after-work drinks. Cute open space that's right in the heart of the Flagler build out. It's... tapas style. The short rib is nothing short of legendary and the lamb chops are divine. They have traditional and late nighthappy hour as well. Staff is as sweet as can be. Read more
I was very excited to see a Spanish Tapas place coming to the neighborhood. I didn?t know much about them and other locations. ... I want to start with the positive: the service, it was great. All very pleasant, friendly and attentive. Great Sangria andlow prices. Now, the rest, The Food: These are not authentic Spanish Tapas as they have food from everywhere in the menu. For anyone that had Tapas in Spain and looking for authentic tapas, this is not the place Most of the dishes were belowaverage. Mostly bad The place looks good but lacks of character and atmosphere. Too bright, wrong music. Doesn?t feel like atapas bar/restaurant but I?m sure and hope they?ll do well I?ll go back again, to have a great time and enjoy the drinks and afew prefer dishes. But I?ll go without expectations of an authentic Spanish meal and it will be totally fine. Read more
Another great addition to the heart of Flagler Village. It's a brand new building and developed a very unique look inside... filled with art. Very intimate. Nice size full bar where you can eat as well. They have 2 happy hours! Everything we orderedwas delicious. Top notch staff as well. Friendly and knew the menu well. Read more
Had a reservation for 8pm and got my table at 8:40. The food is ok. The hot tapas dates was good. And the french onion soup and... the short beef ribs. The waiter was too slow and i ordered my soup first and got it after one hour when we finish. The chickenwas super dry and the lamb was fried.. which is a bad idea to fried lamb chops. I might be back just for the beef short ribsand the dates in a happy hour or something like that. Read more
We were so fortunate to stumble on to a hot new Spanish tapas restaurant in Ft. Lauderdale. Santiago's Bodega. They have... locations in Key West and Orlando. Ft Lauderdale is their newest restaurant and there is A LOT to like. First, the food. Superflavorful and the small plates and reasonable prices make it easy to try a lot. I was at a large table and we basically orderedmost of the menu. The short ribs are insanely delicious. So was the ceviche. We ordered the Malbec, which was also great. TheAtmosphere. It is a very warm and inviting space. The design is comfortable with an abundance of spectacular artwork throughoutthe whole restaurant. The layout is unique and walking around the whole restaurant looking for the rest room was a smalladventure. I love restaurants that have a passion for design. This one totally does. The Atmosphere. This is probably myfavorite part. The restaurant is run by a family and the whole staff seemed to exude their generous, professional vibe. There isa passion involved with this restaurant, all without an iota of pretentiousness. All and all the place is a Home Run. We will bevisiting whenever we find ourselves in south Florida. Read more

Here's some pictures, and I really hope the best luck and best wishes for this restaurant and I'm going to be here verysoon thank you. Read more
First timers. And what a great choice it was. We were able to find free parking -- that was a plus. The concept is small plates,... which is perfect because we have been eating less lately. Our server, Chadwick, was unbelievably friendly, informative, and soattentive. We started with a Happy Hour glass of Red Sangria. Only $4. Then the small plate options. While we chose wisely, nexttime (and there will definitely be a next time) we would order one less dish. We had a cup of onion soup and the cheese was hotand melty (it was a little under seasoned and likely the dish we'd skip next time). Then we moved on to the small wedge saladwhich was perfect to share. The generous portion of blue cheese made the lettuce look more like a head of cauliflower. So good!The tuna ceviche was very good but we'll try a different protein next time. The Brussel Sprouts were delicious, as well as thePuff Pastry with Portobello Mushrooms. We finished the meal with Zeppoles. My fiance is from New Jersey, where Zeppoles arealmost the national treasure and he was not disappointed. The vibe was so upbeat and on trend. I keep smiling, thinking aboutthe next time we will go back (and ask for Chadwick to be our server). Read more
