Great menu options, including paella and fisherman's stew. Starter salads were awesome, too. Service was great; we did not wait on anything. Excellent authentic Spanish dinner! More

We absolutely loved Espana. The service was great, atmosphere perfect, and food incredible. My husband had paella, and I had mahi-mahi - both were flavorful, served steaming hot, and absolutely delicious. We also enjoyed the caramel flan and tiramisu - both were excellent. We will definitely be returning! We dined on a Wednesday around 5:30 - no crowds at that... More

We've eaten at Espana no less than 10 times in the past couple years and it is consistently great. Service is better than anywhere on the island and they always have the best/ freshest fish and seafood. I usually always get a grouper dish and it's been perfect every time. You will not be disappointed at Espana... Enjoy More

This is a Spanish restaurant with friendly, helpful service and lovely decor. The night we were there, we had the spicy snapper with scallops and a grouper special with shrimp and scallops. Our dishes came with rice and an oustanding vegetable medley. Both dishes were excellent, and I can highly recommend the fish dishes at this restaurant. I am looking... More
