Santiago’s Beer Garden — Restaurant in New York

I stumbled upon this place by accident because I work around the corner. So yesterday eve was the 1st time going. I will start with the positives I love The ambiance décor and vibes in this place. The host Kimberly was very nice She Made every effort to get us a reservation inside on a busy Friday summer evening. We were Quickly seated when my friend arrived. Now I must say the music is way too loud here It's not enjoyable to be screaming While having dinner and you're sitting side-by-side with the person and also trying to hear what the waitress is saying vice versa. The waitress I think her name was Jessica long dark ponytail a lot of tattoos she was not the friendliest ,at least to us because she barely cracked a smile. She also didn't know the menu very well in terms of how food is prepared or the wine list she could not explain much of anything. I ordered a side of beans because she didn't tell me the coconut rice already had beans in it she actually said it does not come with beans and she brought the beans out close to the end of the meal didn't even apologize or offer to Take it off the bill. My friend has food allergies and one thing the waitress did make sure to let the chef know and told my friend so she felt comfortable. At one point my friend and I were screaming at each other so much to hear over the loud music, I asked the waitress if they could just lower it a little bit And instead of saying that she will ask she was seeming like it wasn't possible so I told her to please ask And it seems like she did because they lowered it just a Tadd bit. this is not a night club the music doesn't have to be blaring for people to enjoy themselves I think it should be at a conversational level.

Ending on a positive note here the food was very delicious well seasoned and filling.We enjoyed it very much. Drinks were okay but please serve everyone with a glass instead of some with plastic cups.I will be back here but I will not have the waitress again and probably will sit on the sidewalk to avoid the...

I can’t say enough about the incredible experience we had at Santiago Beer Garden for my wife Gina’s birthday! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warmth and professionalism. Genesis, in particular, went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for our special day. We had a party of 12, and not once did we feel overlooked or rushed. Genesis took charge of organizing the cake we brought, and she did it so beautifully—it was like she had planned it all herself!

The food? Absolutely phenomenal! Every dish that came out was prepared to perfection, from appetizers to entrees, and each one had everyone at the table raving. We started with mimosas, and they were delicious and surprisingly potent, setting the mood for a fun and exciting celebration. The entire group was so impressed—not a single complaint, only smiles and compliments all around.

What really stood out was the impeccable service. Genesis and the entire staff were so attentive and made sure that everyone was comfortable and having a great time. They balanced professionalism with a friendly, welcoming attitude that made us feel like family. They truly made Gina’s birthday feel special, and it was clear that they cared about every detail of our experience.

The atmosphere of the place added to the magic of the evening—vibrant, lively, yet intimate enough to make it feel like our own personal celebration. The prices were incredibly reasonable, especially considering the high quality of both the food and service. Every dollar spent was worth it, and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

If you’re looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion or just have a great time, Santiago Beer Garden is hands down the best spot. Huge thanks to Genesis and the staff for making this night one we will always remember. We’ll...

This place is super cute and really small. You must be vaccinated to be allowed inside. The waiters and bartenders do not wear mask. However, they are vaccinated.

I came in with a party of 8. Theres a bunch of rules. A limit to how long we can sit. If you want the bottomless mimosas, the entire table has to get it. We opted not to.

Overall the ambiance is cute. They have a clear roof but with plants and fabric covering it. The decor was nice. It's cute, cozy, etc. They dont allow you to request any songs. So you are stuck listening to whatever the bartender plays.

The waiter was so patient. He was super busy!! He had to take care of people inside and outside. The bar did move alot slower then we would of liked. We did wait long periods of times for drinks. We were seated right next to the bar so we could see him on his phone or hanging instead of making the drinks. That was a little annoying.

My mom drive the waiter crazyyyyy. And he was so sweet and patient. I really give it to him. There were periods he was overwhelmed and forgot some items, etc so my mom wasn't happy. However, he rectified it and got us what we needed. He did good.

I ordered myself a Passionfruit Margarita. It was realllly good. The remaining people at the table ordered beers and moscow mules and mimosas. All good.

We ordered a whole bunch of starters. We got the cheese empanadas (dont order. It wasn't good at all). We ordered the broccoli and cheese tots, OMG so good, order this. We ordered the shrimps, sooo delicious, get this. We got yucca and regular fries, both delish. We ordered the fried chicken chunks, so good too.

Overall, this place is def worth a visit. Especially if your in the area. They have outdoor seating for anyone whose non-vaccinated or wants to...
