Santiago Restaurant in Brighton and Hove

I have wanted to visit this place for years, and this weekend I got round to it...I shan't bother again!I think it overpriced, and the staff abrupt. The food was good, but not exactly exciting although, the cheese board was very good.As I say, I won't visit again; if I had one, it would be a 'bucket list tick' and move on.

This restaurant was a let down from start to finish.We were in a group of 8 - a surprise birthday dinner for my husband. I choose this restaurant because it had ceviche on the menu. Unfortunately it was the worst cerviche we have ever had. Four people ordered it and everyone left it. The fish was super fishy and stringy. I had two mouthfuls and had to spit it out in a napkin. The waiter didn’t question why everyone had left it. The starter took over an hour to come out. Next the steaks came and they were ok but very standard for a restaurant that specialises in steak. When the bill arrived we paid without complaint as we were a big group and didn’t want a fuss on my husbands birthday. Four of us stayed back to finish our wine and then the waiter came over and said “we had paid the wrong bill”. When I pointed out that we had paid the bill he had given us and half the group had now left. He said that we owed an extra £290 and that we must have known it was the wrong bill as it said table of four at the top of the receipt. We were all completely gobsmacked that he was blaming us for his error. When the owner came over, he was equally as aggressive and asked why it was an issue that half the group had left already. Just call them and ask them for the money tomorrow he suggested.I would definitely not recommend, at best below standard food and rude, incompetent staff.

Incredibly high quality meat. A really good evening. It turns out that Latinoamerica and the Cafe Malbec tapas bar next door are run by the same people and share the same kitchen, so you can have tapas or mega-steaks in either!

Great food, attentive service, fab bottled beer!

The ambient is romantic and the beef cuts are good. Do not get the grilled vegetables because they are just boiled and it is misleading from the menu.

While the menu offers a small list of vegetarian and fish options, this restaurant is very much a meat place. The tables in the restaurant are nicely spaced out, so there’s a reasonable chance you can have a ‘quiet dinner’. They serve an Argentine beer on tab but also have some amazing wines.Most of us ordered the special sharing menu, with chicken, pork, sausage and two pieces of beef. The beef was cooked as requested, was juicy and tasted nice . We found both the pork and the chicken a bit dry. The sausage was thin, nice, but tasted quite salty. We were disappointed with the grilled veggies but excited about the mushrooms with spinach.Nice table service, but guys…keep an eye on the toilets upstairs. Both ladies and gents toilet were dirty and smelly.I found this a high price for the value we received

We took 18 people here this evening and pre-booked the private room upstairs for a work meeting and then dinner. I cannot stress enough how WONDERFUL the team were that served us, and the food was really really great. Thank you guys for making the experience really exceptional - we will definitely be back in the future!

Very friendly and welcoming staff, super tasty food, sauces just on point. Huge wine list to choose from. Definitely will be coming back

It isn't often that a highly rated British restaurant truly lives up to the hype but this place has done it.Our starters were the mixed sausage platter and the chicken and vegan empanadas - both of which were generous portions and tasted absolutely fantastic.Our mains were equally as great, with my steak being one of the most perfectly cooked steaks I've ever had. Blushing red and juicy, with just the right amount of grill. The side salad and hand cut fries were also delicious. My partners grilled vegetables platter was a very generous portion and had a great variety of mixed vegetables.The staff were friendly and helpful, and added to the overall experience.Overall a meal that was tough to fault and somewhere I'd definitely recommend to others.

Went for a special occasion and ordered the 'Argentine Meat Experience'. The food was exceptional and arrived at the table promptly, all 4 steaks were delicious and cooked perfectly. T,,he waitstaff were super friendly and attentive. We will definitely be coming back!
