Stick to the classics at this tucked away tapas bar, south of Duval. Fantastic service and all around great meal, though we thoroughly enjoyed the classic Spanish dishes (all served on a slightly elevated level) over than the less authentic ones. Worth it for the atmosphere alone.

I cannot believe the amazing ratings this place has. Maybe we came on an off day, but we ordered 6 tapas and only 2 of the 4 were tasty. Everything tasted like it had no love or seasoning. My husband's French onion soup was clear! I've never seen a clear beef broth. It had NO flavor. My puff pastry was cooked well but also had no flavor. The service was even mediocre. We waited forever to get our check and we were barely visited the entire time. Needless to say, this was not a great meal! The wild chickens were very entertaining, though.

If you're in Key West, you must make a stop in Santiago's. I love tapas! We ordered almost every hot tapas. Everything was delicious. Just go, you'll be pleased. Order the short ribs!! Prices are fair, staff is friendly and dress is nice casual. I suggest reservations as it's a very popular place.

A nice place for small plates and tapas. Happy hour is a little cheaply. Sangria is good, not too sweet. (Red). The beef tenderloin was delicious. Bread pudding and ice cream was sooo good. The fried ravioli was not good. (Happy hour item) . The cheese plate was flavorful with a wide variety of three cheeses. Overall, a good experience . The only have wine and beer, no other cocktails. That’s the biggest downfall. The front area is hectic. Servers wrapping silverware. Closing out their tabs. (Around 4pm) . The room to the right is the best area to sit or the bar.

Santiago's was a great recommendation. The food is served tapas style. We made a reservation and were seated timely. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable. The food was great and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Definitely worth a visit.

Every once in a while you walk into a restaurant that you can tell is being run right. From first impression. Staff is friendly genuine and knowledgeable. This bohemian eclectic decor in a historical section of key west works well. Lamb chops were rare To medium rare and flavorful. Croquetas were creamy and savory. I finished with their bread pudding which I rarely do but kw was getting in my veins. It was worth it.

This place is five stars of heaven! The croquettes have a dreamy sauce. The sangria was perfectly not sweet but fruity. The lamb chops and short ribs melted in your mouth. The cheesy dish was heavenly. The service was good and prompt!

The bar tender at our hotel recommended this place for dinner. Food was delicious! Bar tender was very friendly and attentive. It was a long walk to get here from our shuttle but it was definitely worth it! I say give it a try!

Diverse and done very, very well. The Roman meatballs would make most Italian restaurants blush. The short ribs would make many Asians reconsider their life choices. Salmon carpaccio might be the star of the whole show. And the rest? Too good to go on. Really, a diverse tapas menu that’s executed so well. The switch gears like an F1 car - fast and with precision. 5/5

Amazing, it was the highlight of my vacation trip, it was a great experience since the moment I did the reservation. I highly recommend to do a reservation beforehand, although you don't need too, there was people waiting outside to get in. It has a great atmosphere, amazing music, vintage style and amazing decoration inside, no matter where you sit. The food was a 100/10 I highly recommend the ribs, the plates were small but worth it. it's very economic we ordered 4 plates and the check was only 60. The attention was amazing the writer deserved the 20 dollar tip.

Tenderloin, cheese plate, meatballs and half price wine at happy hour were all great. We didn't like the bland, fatty, mushy ribs that others strangely brag about. Inside decor is dark and poorly decorated. Restroom is a hot box.

We made reservations online for two by a window at 7:30 PM. We arrived at 7:00 PM and were seated immediately, by a window, as requested. Our server " Arene" took our order and the meal was bought to us, one by one. We began with a cup of the spicy shrimp bisque soup (very spicy, but good), then the tuna ceviche (extremely lemony), tomato and basil bruschetta (really good!,) Beef Short ribs (very good), special of the day ( fried yellow tail with rice pilaf)... Delish, brussel sprouts ( ate one piece and hated it, but Arene was nice enough to remove from our check), croissant bread pudding with vanilla bean ice cream (it's a must!). This was the first time that we had eaten at Santiago's Bodega, even though we enjoyed most of all our selections, with the exception of one, it's not a restaurant that I will be writing home about. We found the menu to be very simple with just a few selections. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxing, but were confused with the fact that we kept on getting our neighbors food. The only good thing about that error, was that we got to meet a couple from West Palm Beach, who sat next to us, and had us in stitches, of how funny they were. They were there celebrating Stevens birthday. I was a little disappointed that no one gave him a free desert or even sang happy birthday to him ( this would have been such a nice and memorable gesture! If you plan on visiting Santiago's Bodega for a birthday celebration, you might want to reconsider. All in all, Santiago's Bodega was a cozy restaurant, with simple food selection and not so bad if you just want to hang out and have some tapas. Then this is a cool hang out, but not a fancy place to go to for a full course meal

Best tapas I’ve had outside of Spain! Every dish is beautifully created with intense flavor, fresh ingredients, and inviting presentation!

As a local concierge, I confidently recommend Santiago's Bodega to both visitors and fellow Key West residents. This hidden gem in Bahama Village offers a cozy, inviting atmosphere and mouthwatering dishes that never disappoint. Their happy hour, featuring discounted small plates and sangria, is simply unbeatable! The regular menu, with options like Seared Scallops and Goat Cheese Stuffed Chicken, caters to all tastes. Excellent service and a memorable experience every time. Don't miss out on this local favorite! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Had an awesome time at Santiago's Bodega if you're looking for a laid-back atmosphere with the intimate seating and lighting don't look too far and definitely come here this food is Fresh and Clean! Don't miss this opportunity to have small tapas! I will be back for brunch! Cheers!

Absolutely a must dinner spot. Everything was fresh from the bread to the meat. You must get the tenderloin with blue cheese and order it medium rare. My boyfriend is a steak connoisseur and it was the best steak he’s ever had. I don’t typically like steak, it’s just not worth it to me, but this was the best steak I’ve ever had in my life and I wanted to order more. Our server Chris was incredibly attentive and energetic. Such a nice person. Would go back just to see him as well. This will be a go-to spot forevermore when we come to key west. Thank you Santiago’s Bodega for a fantastic experience. This is how dining out should be.

Lovely place, went in with no expectations for tapas in keywest. The ambiance is nice, our server Juan was GREAT! The food was good for the most part. Many good vegetarian options. Our favorite we’re the Burrata with bread service, churrasco, short rib. The mushroom puff pastry was good lacked a lil flavor. The tuna ceviche was off, maybe the peice a were too think and didn’t take the lime juice well, papas bravas are not the move, the flavors didn’t mesh

Food: A+ Service: A+ Location: A Atmosphere: A One of my more memorable dining experiences. Every single thing we had was top shelf. The shrimp bisque was the show stealer. The depth of flavor in that bowl is endless. The short ribs had like this sweet hoisin glaze that had just the right amount of heat. The potatoes Bravas were great, had a hot sauce kind of taste to them.. hard to describe but really killer. The beef carpaccio was excellent and the ender, the saganaki was fire (no literally they lit it on fire). Best meal of my trip down to Key West.

Amazing and delicious! We did tapas to experience a little of most plates. Simply delightful. It was an extremely hot and humid day in Key West, so being able to sit inside (AC) as a walk in made our experience even better. Service on point and knowledgeable. Music and ambiance give New Orleans vibes.

Five stars all the way. Every bite was exceptional. We ate around 6pm. We had reservations so it went fast. The drink selection was good however it is limited to beer and wine. The food may be the best I’ve had in the Keys. I will be back and I’ll dream about it until I return. Don’t miss this opportunity

I had the Pear & avacado salad with side of Croquettes. Staff was attentive, & food was tasty. Salad was similar to a Cesar, & croquettes were spicy. It's difficult to find parking... you may need to walk a few blocks. A/C inside, nice bar you can eat at... also outdoor patio seating.
