After some research, we decided to eat at Santiago's Bodega last night. It proved to be an excellent choice for what we would describe as "small plates" rather than simply tapas.
We made reservations for 5:00 p.m., which allowed us to arrive partway through Happy Hour, which features about three small plates, mussels, beef empanadas, and beef skewers, at half price, and wine or beer two-for-one.
The menu is extensive, and we probably shared at least one more dish than we thought we would, a delicious bread pudding from the dessert menu.
Although food quality is of the highest priority, we should add that the atmosphere is lovely and the service was friendly and generally terrific. Thank you, Alan!
In the event our travels ever take us back to Key West, Santiago's Bodega will be a definite stop.
Kathy and Brian
Two retired educators alternating joyfully between seeing the world and enjoying our eight grandchildren (in order of birth), Jake, Avery, Taegan, Lily, Peyton, Riley, Blane, and Jace.
Kathy and Brian met in the clarinet section of the University of California (Santa Barbara) Symphony Orchestra several decades ago.
Brian's Western Canadian roots and Kathy's Colorado ties resulted in their making beautiful music together along with producing a cross-border crop of descendants.
Kathy spent a year studying in Vienna at the Institute for European Studies and the University of Vienna.
Brian started the school band program in Hope, British Columbia, and later became the high school's vice-principal for 6 years and subsequently principal for 15 years before retiring in 2001.
Kathy, in between raising our three children, taught kindergarten and first grade, middle school, and high school - mathematics, computer studies, ESL, and her first love, band, before retiring in 2001.
We enjoy sharing our travel experiences and providing the odd travel tip to friends, relatives, and visitors.
