Santiago's Florida Kitchen & Craft Bar

What a little gem. I was craving something different from fried seafood or shrimp w/ a side of shrimp - seems that's all every restaurant in St. Augustine serves for the most part, but not Santiagos'. First, its important to know this restaurant is located inside the Guy Harvey hotel, there is only a tiny tiny sign at the road on A1A and there is NO sign at the hotel entrance, nothing. The only reason we went into the hotel was we could smell food from the parking lot. Boy was I glad we went in. We were immediately greeted by the bar tender and sat. Our waters and drink orders were taken immediately. I had the gyro with a side garden salad. Admittedly I was skeptical that they cold make a good gyro, I've had them for decades all around the world including Greece so I know what a go

They served an excellent Thanksgiving meal. Christa is a very warm, welcoming, and wonderful Server. They're inside the Guy Harvey Beach Resort and the restaurant is a very cool, stylish spot. Make sure to try their Tropitini. Don't miss out on Santiago's. ☺️

The food was great! Their mashed potatoes are the best, there’s nothing like it. Their portions are a little bigger than usual, so I think the pricing is reasonable. Only issue w/ me was I overheard our server telling their coworker that we were taking so long to finish. But yeah nonetheless, the food was good!

My wife and I were very impressed with the flavors, portions and atmosphere at this place we only stumbled into after Googling for a new place to try some poke… and oddly, the poke itself wasn’t even the item we loved most. We started with the Jerk Pork Belly Nachos which was fresh, hot and loaded with flavor. We’re goat cheese lovers so the “whipped goat cheese” jumped off the menu at us and we think we made the right choice. We had to stop ourselves halfway full of we wouldn’t have room to even try our entrees. For entrees we had their unusual take on Poké - lots of grilled veggies and pineapple - and the “& Grits” with blackened shrimp, which was probably the standout dish of the night… Although the dessert kind of blew our minds too - coconut pineapple cheesecake 🤤 The menu here is

It was a breakfast 😞. First we were waiting 15 min to be seated. Although the restaurant was almost empty. Then we were waiting a menu for 15 min more. Then our drinks 15 min more. At last we have our food. Just an hour later. Pancakes for my 8 year old son was inedible at all. My wrap was fine but I start eating my fruit salad. I eat it almost a third and here it comes. A hair. A nice brown hair in my salad. It was a top of my indignation and disappointment. I’ll never visit this place again.
