    Wasn’t cheap, overall food was ok but could have been much better for the price, slow staff service…. Bill had a service charge which really wasn’t worth £6 tip…. Unfortunately we probably won’t go back :(

    We had a great night out here as a couple. The service was exceptional - they let me change the allocated table, let us try the wine and didn't push us into rushing our evening. We ordered and eat in stages, which meant we didn't over order and waste any food (or money!) All dishes were delicious. Would definitely come back.

    We love Santiago’s for it’s food and have never had cause to complain before now. On this occasion the service was lacking. It was great until we had received our main food then we couldn’t get the waitress to come to us after that so we gave up and went to the bar for the bill. We sat there for quite a long time before giving up and other customers around us did the same thing. We would’ve had dessert and another round of drinks but their loss. My husband caught her eye but she didn’t come near us. It won’t stop us visiting again but I hope they’ll take note

    We had just the most amazing time at this restaurant! The food was oh good quality but still kept the home cooked feeling. Service was quick and attentive. Would recommend to everyone!
