What an awesome experience! Great food and service. I felt as though I were in Spain again. The prices were very reasonable as well and the portions were large. Shared a seafood paella with my friend and a tortilla espanola and fried calamari. The calamari was lightly dusted with flour and was amazing! Try the sangria too!
The place is good. The paellas have a very authentic taste (I'm not a Spaniard, though). The patatas bravas are not as hot as I expected so that was a bit of a downer.The atmosphere is not bad but not what I expected from a Spanish restaurant. The music was what you can hear on any radio station. Besides, they were showing a soccer match, which is great for men who like it, just not for me.
Circulo Espanol is a Spanish cultural center but also has a restaurant. From the outside, you wouldn't know it though. I lived around the area for years and never knew about this place. The restaurant is only open from Thursday to Sunday. The food was great and the prices are reasonable. The service was very friendly. It was very quiet when we went. People come with their families since it's like a community center. Complimentary bread and butter is provided. We had the garlic shrimp which was phenomenal! Definitely scoop up that garlic and put it on the bread! The paella was also very good and had plenty of shellfish.

Hidden gem off of Broadway and Steinway Street.Food is always prepared with love and everything on the menu is a must have!I recommend the sangria with any paella option.Check the site for shows and dances. I’m sure they will have a special for New Year’s Eve!

We drove an hour to get to this place because in the website says the close at 10pm, we got there at 8:35 and they didn't take us because the kitchen was about to close and we could only order appetizers, the waitress didn't even ask the kitchen if we could order and that made us feel very unwelcome
I came with 9 to eat a family style tapas tasting, and we had a delicious meal with mostly hits, but there were a few misses. Who knew potatoes could be do delicious in the Patatas Bravas? Or sliced thin in their Tortilla (omelette). Chorizo slices are crispy and flavorful and the Serrano ham with manchego cheese is a classic delight with their homemade bread. The paella was the star brimming with succulent seafood and a balanced flavor of the ocean. We found the empanadas flavorful but dry, needing a sauce, and the pork loin was so overcooked, we'll skip those on our next visit. Some guests had issues finding the place as the entrance is not on Broadway, but around the corner through the Spanish Center.

Recommend the Bistec a la plancha and the house sangria. They accept credit cards.
