What a beautiful traditional place! The food was exquisite, and the service was unparalleled. Many thanks to our waiter, José, for making our night unforgettable. We will definitely be returning soon.

A short list of vegan options, but all are exceptional. Limited outside/dog-friendly seating, but no umbrellas and very basic.I highly recommend all three vegan options on the menu, as well as the plantains. The drinks also pack a nice punch ?Vegetarian options: Clearly labeled vegan options

Incredibly disappointing restaurant. The plates are small, the food is not cooked well, and the prices are extremely expensive. Total ripoff.

The sangria and paella were delicious. I felt like I was in Spain not only because of the food but because of the atmosphere. While I was eating I realized I didn't have my wallet, I thought I had left it in the watertaxi. I left the restaurant and couldn't find my wallet. 2 weeks later a box arrives at my house in California. It was my wallet with all my documents, not a single dollar was missing! They sent it to me from the restaurant!! It turns out that because of my nerves, while I was looking for her, I didn't see her. The manager told me that when they were moving the tables, they found her. I am very grateful for the honesty of all the staff at Spain Restaurant, especially their manager. There are still good people in the world! 5 stars for you

Very disappointed in the Paella. The seafood did not taste fresh, rather flavorless as was the ham and chicken. Not much rice in the dish either and did not detect any saffron flavor.

Best venue for a private party. Fred & his superb staff provided my family with an excellent meal starting with tapas, salad and then 3 choice entree & deserts. Bar drinks/service are epic - loved the Sangria. To add to our special fiesta, they arranged "over-the-top" guitar music with a Flamenco dancer performance. Do not hesitate to patron this excellent restaurant.

We have been to Spain Restaurant many times and as always, everything was delicious, the staff wonderful, and the ambience fun. We were very lucky to have Spanish guitarist, Jessy Leros, playing while we were there. He is amazing!

It's a beautiful restaurant, very chic. There is convenient metered parking in the street in front of the restaurant. We've been there twice at 6:00pm (weekdays) and found spaces across the street and right in front of the restaurant. It's a great location if you're attending a 7 or 8pm show at the Straz Theater. The service is good. I'm hispanic and found the food to be okay...not great! A pretty place to take a visitor from out-of-town. They offer live entertainment Friday & Saturday. A few tables outside by the sidewalk are pet friendly.

went with another couple for drinks and tapas. Good beer and wine selection and great prices at happy hour. there's a wide variety of tapas with glutempn free items clearly marked. The ceviche and empanadas were outstanding. service was friendly and efficient. thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

Had fabulous tapas here, both hot and cold, including very good ceviche and empanadas. Service was friendly and helpful with making choices based on the size of our group (4).Really enjoyed the whole experience. We were there on the early side of a Thursday evening and it was pretty quiet. Might be more lively later in the evening.

Upscale, but not uptight. The beef tips melt in your mouth and were done perfectly. Paella is also very much worth ordering. So were the scallops. And sangria. Just go and relax in a modern, but chill environment with delicious food. I wish we were able to go when there was live music.EDIT: We went back for lunch and it is a much more casual style fast lunch cafeteria during the day. Beef was a little dry, but generally a great way to get a very fast lunch that is much better than fast food!
