"We attended on Flamenco night. The show starts at 8:30 pm and our reservations were at 9. We still got to enjoy most of the show from a distance. There is a cover charge to get closer to the stage. The servers were excellent! Ignacio helped us with our food choices and recommended an outstanding wine. We loved it so much we took two home. The food was extremely good and the presentation was wonderful. We started with appetizers: cod croquettes and jam croquettes. Delicious! We had a platter of Serrano ham and Manchego cheese. Very good. Along with a plate of tomatoes and onions. Very good too! Main entree: one that is off the menu and the garlic grilled chicken. Both were very delicious and worth repeating on another occasion. The desserts: Tartara Santiago, Crema Catalana, and Maria Crackers with a dulce leche. Outstanding!!! All of them. Can’t wait to go back."

"The entire experience at this restaurant was exceptional from start to finish. We were warmly greeted by the hostess and the staff was enthusiastic about the food. The passion fruit mojito we had as our first drink was delicious and set the tone for the meal. My sister enjoyed the flavorful arroz con Pollo, while I was not disappointed with my chicken sandwich. The pink flamingo cocktail, made with mezcal, guava, and lime, was surprisingly enjoyable even though I don't usually go for mezcal. The service was friendly and we had a great overall experience. We returned on 4.2.22 and found that everything was still excellent, despite slightly slower service due to the busy evening. This restaurant is definitely worth a visit - you won't be disappointed."

"I went to Spanish Pavilion last night Friday-9pm with 3 others friends. It was our first time there. We ordered apps fried calamari-Good 4 out of 4), baked clams w bacon 4 out of 4), 2) LI Iced teas 2 out of 4), a half a pitcher of sangria 2 out of 4), seafood paelle the rice had a good flavor and the clams,oysters >good, shrimp, calamari-in paella only>not so good), churrasco steak), pork chops, and a burger about $225.00 total more or less. The kitchen closes at 10pm. IDK if it was because they were closing or what? The apps were good 3 out of 4 enjoyed them. Main course 1 out of 4 were happy. The meats were seasoned well enough but were slightly over cooked. The burger was welled enjoyed. The paella was not up to par, it was bland and mushy but from the pics on Google I guess that's how they make it. I did inform them that it wasnt good and they took it off the bill and that was fine but they kept checking thier watches to see how much longer we were gonna be. If your kitchen closes at 10pm don't seat ppl at 9pm and then quietly rush them out. We could have gone to another restaurant that didn't close on Friday nights at 10pm. I doubt we will be returning there but if you go choose wisely. I understand being at work and having ppl walk in last minute and having to wait for them but in the food industry you can word things differently like as soon as ppl come sure I'll seat you just so you know the paella takes 40 mins to make made fresh per customer-that makes ppl think oh really ok) and if that's what you were interested in trying its best if we put that in along with the apps. We were told about the kitchen closing but if you want to go home then tell ppl as soon as they walk in. We felt rushed the whole time spent there, there was watch looking, table gazing but cash was seen and expected. I really don't like giving mom and pop business any kind of bad reviews because I know we are all competing with big business but there is always room for improvements. They had some pluses the 2 appetizers) I guess it's up to you to chose."

"Great place to meet up for drinks (not the sangria and atmosphere. Good location, great outdoor seating and very good service. Food on the other hand, well here is what I experienced: Skirt steak was OK at best, avocado with crab salad was good. Stay away from seafood paella, while the rice was pretty good, the seafood was not (the shrimp were barely edible. I have to assume there are some hidden gems on their overly large menu (which should be paired down, we unfortunately did not find one."

"We went to Meson Sevilla for a pre theater dinner on a Saturday night. We had all tapas though many other tables seemed to be ordering the paella, which looked quite good. They do have a large selection of tapas, including most of the classics as well as some less typical choices. The food was tasty certainly not the best tapas we 've ever had, but also not the worst. Reasonable portion sizes for the price. The service was excellent and very fast they definitely are experienced at getting you out to the theater on time. Overall, very enjoyable, reasonably priced, and quick. If you like Spanish food, a good choice for pre theater on Restaurant Row."

"Service was fine, quiet cozy ambience, but the food really is not great. The chimichurri steak we ordered was cold and of poor quality; when we brought it up to the server, they opted to regrill it.... And so the cut became overcooked and not really edible. The spicy potatoes were solid, but a tad overdone with spicy mayo. Best part of the meal was some prosciutto wrapped asparagus, and the free appetizer bread and olive oil."

"The Spanish-themed restaurant is beautifully adorned with an authentic atmosphere that truly captures the essence of dining in Spain. When we visited for dinner on a Saturday, we were lucky to snag one of the last high tables since most of the restaurant was already booked. The tapas options are listed under the Appetizers section and are quite generous, easily serving 3-4 people. We sampled the shrimp and chorizo combo, traditional octopus, and mussels. The shrimp and chorizo dish was especially tasty, with a delectable sauce. The octopus was also quite enjoyable. However, the mussels and seafood marinara were just average. The marinara dish includes lobster, but unlike other upscale restaurants, they do not shell it for you. Unfortunately, the lobster was overcooked and tough. The service was good, though the food took a while to arrive. They also have a variety of drinks and a skilled bartender."

"For appetizers, we tried bacalaitos, empanadillas de carne, croquetas de jamón, bolitas de queso, and chistoras. Everything was fantastic except for the chistoras, which could have used a bit more crispiness. The white sangria was delightful! The entrees we ordered were all incredibly tasty: carne frita, filete de res encebollado, and filete de mero al ajillo. For dessert, we indulged in flan de café, panela de guayaba, and tembleque de coco—all of them were delicious. We also tried the coquito de turrón; others enjoyed it, but I personally prefer the classic version. Our waitress was not only kind but also very funny, which added to the overall pleasant atmosphere. I highly recommend this spot for a fun and enjoyable family outing. I definitely plan to return in the evening to experience the live music!"

"Made a reservation for on New Years Eve. I called to confirm because the last time we went they had no record of our Open Table reservation saying the the manager manages it on his his phone and he was not there at the time. Whatever. We were seated and the food was great always. Anyway again no record of our reservations and its New Years Eve! After speaking with the manager they agreed to accommodate us. We ended up sitting outside. OUTSIDE on December in NJ! The only other couple there made the mistake of reserving on Open Table too. Now when I say outside we were under the roof but the only thing between us and the elements was a sheet if thick plastic. We could'nt hear the music inside and there was no ambience at all yet we still paid the NYE markup of per person for off food. I may or may not go back because the food is good but I will not be using Ooen Table to make the reservation. This is not a slam on Open Tabke. It was totally Terrazza's fault."

"Marbella, nestled in the heart of Bayside, is more than just a restaurant—it’s an institution, a culinary cornerstone that’s been anchoring the neighborhood’s dining scene for decades. When I first encountered their paella in 1987, it was a revelation, introducing me—and countless locals—to the deep, saffron-infused joys of Spanish cuisine. Since then, Marbella has evolved into the go-to spot for everything from intimate family gatherings to small wedding rehearsal dinners, all while maintaining an unwavering commitment to the fundamentals of hospitality. The service here is impeccable, a throwback to a time when dining out was an event, and every guest was treated like family. It’s not just the food, though that’s reason enough to visit. There’s something magical about the ambiance—whether it’s the gentle strains of a harpist, the passionate rhythms of flamenco, or the soulful strumming of a Spanish guitar. Marbella doesn’t just serve dinner; it serves culture, enriching Bayside’s already diverse tapestry with a vibrant taste of Spain. But let’s not forget the main event: the food. The dishes are crafted with a meticulous attention to detail, each bite a testament to the chef’s skill and the owner’s dedication. Speaking of which, the owner’s presence is felt throughout the meal, as he moves from table to table, ensuring that every experience is nothing short of perfect. In a borough as vast and varied as Queens, Marbella stands out—not just for its longevity, but for its unwavering quality and the genuine warmth that defines every visit."

"I alway love going to this place. It 's a wine /tapas restaurant in a gasoline station on SW 17th Avenue and US1 in Miami. Florida. The ambiance is alway whatever you want it to be. You can dress up or just hang with friends. Tonight we got there with no reservation. You really do need one. The place is small but they found us two chairs at the smallest bar ever. A perfect, incredible, amazing time was had by all!The waitress, Lydia, was amazing. She took time to make sure my husband understood what wine to pick (a red) and she expertly knew that a red sangria was in my future.We picked the Combinacion Meson . With cured pork loin, Serrano ham, Spanish chorizo and manchego cheese. It came with olives and candies nuts. Yum!We also picked the Albóndigas which are angus beef, pork and chorizo meatballs. The meal came with a small but delicious sour dough artisanal loaf of bread. My husband soaked up the sauce that came with the meatballs with this bread. Such a great taste. We finished with the Crema Catalan . It is just the perfect amount of sugar. For a dessert, it 's really well done. I get this every time I go there.If you have never come here, please come. It is an incredible place to experience. The bar only has four chairs (I think) but always moving and always fun."

"At the Dania location, they get it right every time!! Excellent food and service. We highly recommend. (But their other location on Federal Highway is unfortunately a different story. We thought that they’d do chicken right there, too. Wrong. Chicken overcooked and the portion was small. I tried twice, but disappointed both times. Other locations were much better. Looks like the problem is only at the Ft Lauderdale location. Go figure."

"After a hike in Mt Tam, my group and I stopped at this restaurant, which was bustling with customers. It is takeout only, with a couple of registers where we ordered and waited outside for our food for about 10 minutes. The menu is extensive, focusing on proteins and sides like plantains, rice, and beans, making it vegetarian-friendly. I ordered the bistec sandwich, tostones con mojo avocado, and the ponche. The food was decent, but for the price of about $30, it was a bit underwhelming. The steak in my sandwich was tough, making it difficult to eat without falling apart. The tostones lacked seasoning, with only a hint of garlic but no salt. The sauce was good, but I had too many tostones for it to make a difference. The ponche, however, was a standout and refreshing after our hike. Overall, I was disappointed in the food, but if it was more affordable, I would recommend it for the generous portions. Next time, I might just come for a drink and some sides, and I'll remember to bring my own salt and pepper."

"I read the family history before looking at the menu, and it brought tears to my eyes as it reminded me of the sacrifices my parents made as immigrants. I had noticed that this restaurant was always busy, and now I understand why. My son really enjoyed the beans and plantains. My partner and I had the lechón and the crispy chicken. I also tried the Caldo Gallego, which was very close to the authentic version. The prices are reasonable, the service is excellent, and the food is good. The lechón could have been better, but it was still enjoyable. It's great to have an authentic Cuban spot in Broward without having to travel to Miami. I’ll definitely be back and would recommend it to friends and family."
