Came for a birthday party. We're seated outside patio area where there's a stage for live music. Very nice ambiance and decor. Very friendly waitstaff and owner was seen helping and tending to some of the tables. Menu is pretty open with nice options for everyone...we ordered the oxtail empanadas ,pizza , the duck and seabass entrees Pizza wood fired style ...was good nothing to boast. I enjoyed the crispy flakiness of the empanadas but I feel the oxtail filling needed to be more tender...or at least that's what I'm use to cooking and eating oxtail from other places. Still had some bites where it was a bit stringy and toughness. Truffle fries were thick and soft and that was yummy...duck entree was great. Moist , not gamey and light crispy skin. Was on a bed of mashed potato and a sauce...gives off a thanksgiving type vibe. The Seabass however I was kinda disappointed...fish it self was cooked perfectly...but it was just paired with the wrong stuff. Flavor profile was too overpowering that it takes everything away from the Seabass. The way it's presented there's no focus on the fish as well. But overall great experience might give it another try for maybe the steak and some other appetizers that was curious about.

Great food. Good music. Lovely place supporting local artists and a great location to hang in a casual yet elevated atmosphere.

Just take a look at the picture of the patio. She is that girl. I felt like I was transported out of the valley and landed myself in a cute little corner of Spain! The ambience at night was even more warm and magical with live music and the intimate lighting.The paella is much bigger than it looks like in the picture, it was shared by 3 of us so it's the perfect family-style meal! It came in this beautiful shell-like plate. There was plenty of seafood inside and the rice was well seasoned. My friend who has visited Spain said this was very authentic. We also ordered a chocolate cake for my friend's birthday and they came out to us singing in celebration. It was a sweet gesture and made our night! Of course, the cake was decadent as well :) I will definitely have to come back.

Love everything about this place. Perfect for a date night or work dinner. Love the little moody bar and amazing cocktails. Food is delish and the chef's expertise is unmatched. Servers always go above and beyond

Came here on a Saturday night. It wasn't too crowded, and the air was nice outside, so we sat in the patio. They had live music. The performer was good and the speakers were at a good volume. Not too loud. The food was just ok. I don't think it's worth the price. The cocktails are better. Our server was very nice and helpful. She was a lot of fun. In the middle of our meal, a whole wedding showed up and set up their reception in the patio area. That was a little weird. We didn't expect it. And they took over the stage area.

This was not my first time to eat at Espana but it was my first time to eat in the bar. I was traveling alone and was going to grab a quick bite and retire to my hotel.I settled in at the bar and ordered a drink, "Holy Smoke" and that is both the name of the drink and my reaction. While basically an Old-fashioned with the added layer of smoke this drink was a delight on the palate. For my meal I perused an extensive and slightly complicated set of menus and ordered. In the interim, the owner/chef of the restaurant Isaac Guerra, brings out some homemade potato chips that were just the right level of crispy and seasoning for my taste. It also gave occasion to meet him and discuss the food. As a result of this conversation I decided to accept a tasting challenge he offered.......I was not disappointed.The meal consisted of small portions of the following....Camarones Del Ray, Oxtail Empanadas, and Saenz Tapas(an amazing green salsa based sauce with an excellent balance of heat, spice, and texture). As a bonus Isaac asked if I was willing to try a new dish he was working on and it didn't disappoint......Waygu Pot Stickers. This dish consisted of the waygu stuffed dough with a poisson sauce that made the flavors just explode in my mouth. To finish off the main part of the meal was a portion of "Cigar Box Smoked Salmon" which was transferred to a tomato based roux that was just slightly spiced and nicely balanced addition to the salmon.At the end of the meal Isaac presented me with a delightful "Creme Brulee" that had a sweet custard that was nicely sweetened without being overwhelming.A delightful evening of culinary adventure and flavor. I recommend this restaurant whole heartedly.

Prepaid for our Valentine's dinner reservation ($125each). Upon arrival, hostess had a hard time figuring out what table numbers belonged to what table. Took us a while as we followed her around a maze of tables and diners. Once seated, we waited at least 20 minutes to receive water after stopping a waitperson. No table cloths, silverware was not picked up between each course (we used same silverware for each course). Cocktails were finally served in cheap, disposable plastic cups. We had to flag someone down to get any kind of service. Appetizers and soup were good, but our entrees were room temp at best. We spent the majority of our evening trying to flag down some help. We typically tip well regardless of service but they automatically add a 20% gratuity and request additional tips on the bill. We spent $330 for dinner and expected a fine dining experience. This was just horrible. Way understaffed and very poor execution. Plastic disposable cocktail cups, no tablecloths, horrible service. This wasn't a kids birthday party! A young couple at a table near us waited over an hour before being served water. Valentine's dinner was a disaster. I'm sorry to say we will never return.

I reserved a table for 2 for their valentine's day special menu where the entire meal had to be prepaid which is understandable. I requested an inside table upon reservation and they sat me and my wife outside upon arrival. We then waited 30 min to be approached by a server who then never approached us after. Our reservation was set at 745 pm and didn't get served our entrees until 1030 pm which we then requested to be plated to go. The ambiance is spectacular, but the service was not worth what I paid for beforehand.

Extremely slow service. Very disorganized layout; walked through the front door facing Main St. and there was no waiter to help seat us. Walked around the side and finally sat down in the outside area. The server took 29 minutes to approach our table to get us started with waters. I try to be patient if the server looks new or the place is busy, neither were the case this time. 30 minutes after placing our mixed drink choice we finally got it to the table; no beverage takes that long to prepare. Figured it was a fluke and decided to give it another shot for the second round; another 35 mins before we got our drinks. By that time the restaurant was trying to close early for the night and urging patrons to close out their tabs. Over all a nice ambiance and decorations but horrible service and a major disappointment for the price point.
