"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."
