I’m so pleased to say that we all enjoyed ourselves. From the friendly and attentive servers to the fresh and delicious food, all of it met our high standards expectations. People speak well of this place and it’s no wonder. First, it’s gorgeous. Definitely a place that makes you feel like a celebration is happening. Second, the attention to detail is evident. The serving sizes are large so bring your appetite or plan to take a box home. I have a gluten allergy and I did just fine here. They’ll take care of you. The prices reflect that this is a high end restaurant. Its layout will absolutely accommodate someone with mobility needs. If you’re ever in the area, stop in.
I've been going to Spain restaurant for over 30 years & it's 100% dependable for outstanding food & service. Regardless of what you order from their specialties to swordfish to steak, it's some of the best food in the state. How they execute large portions for reasonable prices on a consistent basis is truly amazing. So glad they are a RI institution for great reasons.
The pistachio martini!!!! A must have, honestly! 100/10. The steak was great too and the Spain margarita with blueberry was amazing too. The place is super fancy, great for a dinner and some wine. The cremebrulee desert was simply awesome. The tiramisu was mid, nothing special lol
A large Spanish restaurant in Cranston, RI. I went there for Mother’s Day and it was very busy. We were lucky to snatch up a cancelled reservation. Food is good. They give you a large portion, it is wise to share dishes with the party. Although they were very busy but the service was excellent. They took a good care of us. The paella is really big. It’s more than enough to feed 4 people. Sangria is good too.
Wow, this restaurant's food was amazing. We had not been there in a little while. Too bad it is on the other side of town, otherwise we would definitely go there more often. All four of us were very pleased with everything we ate. The service was excellent also. Their drinks were very good. Their prices may be a little higher than some restaurants out there, but the quality and amount of food you get will not disappoint you. I can't wait to go back. By the way, that cheesecake on the pictures was amazing!!!
The ambiance was amazing, very romantic style like. A lot of older people who looked like they had money . But I always say that the best places to go to, are the places where you see older people at. Older people love quality in everything. Which is normal, because back in the day, 50+ years ago things were made to last, and quality was key. Not quantity. The only problem was finding parking. They do have a valet-parking. But that night it was insane the amount of cars there. Which was yet another good sign thw place was good. Since it was our first time there. There are other parking spots you can use nearby, and residential areas where you can leave your car no problem. But I wished they had more parking space. The people there treated us like royalty. And the manager there was a very tall, immaculately dressed, tanned skin man. Who looked like The Most Interesting Man In The World, from the Dos XX beer commercials. But thinner and younger. He greeted us and welcomed us to the place, and asked us if everything was to out liking. Which was a nice touch. The food was OK. Some of it tasted not as good as my wife cooked it. Meaning that if I paid $200+ for a chef cooked meal, I should be blown away. Like when we went to Gordon Ramsey's. Every penny paid was worth it. For Spain ???????? Restaurant, the beauty of the place and the treatment you get from the staff saves the place. But they need to up a notch on the taste of the food (even when the presentation was on point. As the pictures show. Which I did not take many of, to protect the privacy of the people there. Since it was packed.)
It is a nice restaurant. Huge space, good atmosphere, good staff, average food quality. It is worth a visit if you happen to be passing by, but not worth to making a special trip for it. Highly recommend their special menu: seafood & chicken pasta. Fresh prawn and scallops, creamy pasta sparked in a creamy sauce. The rest of the appetizers& main courses is just average. Nothing out of the ordinary. Nothing too impressive except for the pasta. We specifically ask for our steak to be medium rare, leaning toward medium, but it still tastes a bit tougher than expectation (even though the picture shows like medium rare), don’t know why.. Servers are friendly and nice to us. Same as the receptionist! We didn’t make reservations on a Sunday and they arrange the table for us right after I called, thanks for doing that!
Wonderful food and experience. Best calimari I have ever had. Consistently excellent. We come here whenever we are in town.
