On our 3rd trip to KW, we made our first stop (on 12/24/08) to Santiago's Bodega for lunch. Now I'm kicking myself for waiting until my 3rd trip to try this place. Allen, our server, did a great job with explaining the tapas choices and recommending selections to us. Our choices...in order of consumption: - spicy shrimp bisque (oh mama...this... more

I'm not sure how this particular place became the #1 restaurant in Key West according to TripAdvisor, after visiting there and everywhere else on the small island we're still a bit shocked. We tried a variety of things off of the menu (our favorite by far was the camembert wedge!) and liked everything well enough. Each dish is pleasing to... more

Went to Santiago's on 12/20/08. Arrived around 8 without a reservation and were sat at the bar...a great location. Alan was our server. Nice guy, going back to Atlanta though soon. We were guided here by a good friend who has lived in KW for 25 years. Having lived in NYC for many years you get your fill of Tapas... more

This was our second visit to this restaurant and it did not live up to the first visit. Although we enjoyed the food, it wasn’t nearly as good as a previous visit. The main difference was the atmosphere of the place – very sedate, compared with lively and enthusiastic the first time. I will probably return and give it another... more

The place is small yet it looked like somehow they could fit at least 30 people inside comfortably with additional seating outside. The menu has a varied selection of soups, salads, hot and cold dishes, and a lovely wine list as well. We started with their homemade red sangria and a spinach salad featuring candied pecans, fresh strawberries and bacon... more

Went again this year and it's still very good. The location could be better. However, the quality of the food makes up for it and I would certainly recommend trying the place if you've not been before. more

Excellent restaurant in a bad neighborhood. 2-3 tapas is enough for a dinner. Not touristic. Number one rated of Key West restaurants in Tripadvisor. It is forth it. more

The food and service was excellent. Wide range of flavors and choice of wine. The service staff was the best we have had during our week long stay in Key West. I would recommend taking a cab and making reservation. The Shrimp Bisque was outstanding and recommend trying their special of the day. more

A great tapas restaurant a short walk off Duval St in a quiet neighborhood. Excellent selection of beers including Red Stripe and a good selection of wines. Enjoyed the croquettas, the tenderloin dish especially. Don't skip the bread pudding for dessert. Excellent service. more
