Food, atmosphere, and service are top notch. Best meals at our table were the spicy grouper with panko crusted scallops and the spicy red snapper. My son said it was the best prepared fish he has ever eaten. My husband and I shared the seafood paella for two. Delicious, I highly recommend!

There was nothing I disliked. The food and service was incredible. Roberto the owner went out of his way to make this dinner a memorable experience. From appetizers to dessert it was fantastic. Anything with scallops is a can't miss but then so are a lot of other things including all the tapas I tried.

We stopped in for a drink and tapas that turned into one of the best dining experiences I can remember in years. Patrick at the bar had great recommendations...to the extent we were asking for more bread to soak up the sauce from the Gambas Brava (spicy shrimp). Our hostess Wendy was soooo accommodating! A large party had booked outside... More

Had the fish special and it was delicious. My husband had one of the Paella dishes and he liked it very much. Very nice staff.

We arrived early and there was no waiting. Their home-made sangria was excellent. We ordered two tapas, shrimp and calamari and a chicken Paella for one. All were superb. This was our first time experiencing this type of cuisine and we were not disappointed. The wait staff explained all the different items on the menu and were very attentive during... More

We came here based on other TA reviews and were not disappointed. The chicken and seafood paella was scrumptious and large. Tomato and mozzarella was fresh and yummy. Staff was attentive and professional.

Oh so good. Paella is a must! We sat outdoors in the quaint backyard and Joel, our server, was the best. Great overall dining experience.

Having lived in Spain for some years it is always with trepidation I try Spanish restaurants in the fear that , well, that they aren't really Spanish. Espana was excellent. Spanish/Portuguese traditional food prepared beautifully! It was so good we came back the next night and tried new dishes: which were equally fine. Service was excellent. We tried the Garlic... More
