Wow! What an amazing birthday experience I had at Spain restaurant. It had been my first time and it was such a great time for my family and I. I'm so glad this was planned for me to go here. What a perfect time. I wish I could give 100 stars. The outside and inside of this restaurant is so classy and just so beautiful. They have amazing walkways for beautiful pictures, they have valet and there's chandeliers everywhere. So many places to take beautiful pictures and it's very upscale in here and the hospitality to match it. We had a family of 5 including myself the 30th birthday lady. We were greeted very warmly by the host and lead to my table that was decorated by my family, which was beautiful. We were socially distanced from everyone else which was PERFECT, and the table had so much space and was very roomy. We were greeted by our AMAZING server David. David had to have been one of the main reasons why I'm making sure to write this review. He treated my family and I like his own family, he was so professional and he was very patient with us. He made my birthday very special. He took pictures for us which came out beyond perfect and his service was at 100%. David needs a serious raise, his service is beyond amazing. Please pass that on to him. We were always waited on properly and our food was such a bonus. So tasty and nice sized portions. There's nothing bad I can say about this place. I loved it and I will be back, for sure! Thank you so much David! read more

Spain Restaurant - Paella Valenciana - Spanish Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

Ive been going to Spain for a long time and I've always said great food and great service. I went a few weeks ago and it was terrible. The food was good but much smaller portions. The service was awful. The waiter we had couldn't even be bothered telling us the specials he threw the paper with the specials at us. He didn't ask how are food was. The other guy was great, and was the only reason why a tip was left. read more

First time here. Made a reservation which I informed them it was our anniversary. They sat us at a table where we were the center of attention. Service was great and attentive. Food and drinks were great as well. Definitely will come back to try more of the offerings on the menu. read more

Should have been warned beforehand. And Calamari seemed under cooked IT WAS NASTY FELT SICK all day read more

Best and highest quality food I've had in my life!!! What a birthday dinner!!! I've never had food like I had here and it's actually not as expensive as I thought. I got the Chairman's pork tenderloin at $26. The pork was stupid juicy, the sauce was so good and the amount of pork they gave was way more than I expected. Our apps were the artichoke hearts, $13.50, which are to die for and perfect clams casino, $15. I tried their lemon chicken and have no clue how the got it so juicy, $24. It's almost like you don't need a fork to cut, it could be cut just looking at. And the Smithfield Sirloin was just not fair, $45. Like butter!! I also got a Blue Hawaiian cocktail which I've been wanting to try for a while. It was really refreshing. There's rum, vodka, blue curacao, pineapple juice and coconut cream in it. $11 Don't avoid going here because you think it's expensive like I did!!!!! read more

I have to admit...I haven't been here since graduating from URI with my degree in Spanish Education. Everything was just as fantastic today as it was in the 90s - the service, the food, the atmosphere. My mother insisted we go here for my birthday since I love Spain and all of its cuisine. They come right away with water and bread and get you started on the drink menu. The sangria was delicious, just like we used to make in Spain by the river. My mom is elderly & they treated her like a queen. We got the gambas app, which was delicious! A couple of us got the paella and it was enough for four people. It was just like I have on my trips to Spain. Crispy rice along the edge and LOTS of seafood. My sister got the salmon and she adored it. This is not your typical tapas bar. Although they have lots of apps, the entrees are your meal here. Everything was excellent. And although the prices are higher than other restaurants, you get what you pay for! I recommend coming here on a special night: anniversary, graduation, birthday. Live it up! Spain restaurant...looks like you are here to stay. From this Rhode Islander turned Bostonian...bravo y muy bien hecho. read more

This is a well known Cranston version not related to the Narragansett Spain restaurant. Very popular and difficult to get in, there is a nice bar, large open dining area, and an upstairs for private parties. I had the Veal Corunesa - the portion was quite large and was good - a large dollop of mashed potatoes and some vegetables/mushrooms. Not super flavorful, but good. Our table also had the chicken parmesan, which was very good. Not sure why they don't have veal parmesan...also had the garlic soup that was a special, it was a large portion and very flavorful. The service was excellent, and nice touch to have a tempting dessert tray should you have any room. The portions are big and prices reasonable. read more

Second time here in a few years and I have to say it has not changed! If you like to dine with dim lighting and gorgeous interior design this is the place for you. Perfect place for birthdays/other celebrations! The quality of food and drinks were a treat! My girls and I were running late however they still accommodated our party. Our servers name was David and he was such a delight for us. I didn't get to take any food pics bc it got to complicated once all the girls arrived. However, the stuffed mushrooms were to die for! Oh I forgot to mention the expresso martini is the best I've had in a while! read more

This was my second time dining in Spain to celebrate my friend's graduation for their master's. We sat at a two-person table looking below the balcony on the second floor. For an appetizer, we ordered the Clams Casino, which was very flavorful and a good portion to share for two. I also ordered a white sangria, which was delicious! Good pairing with my entree. The entree I ordered was the Veal Spain. Good portions, marsala wine paired well with the bone-in veal and mashed potatoes, but the whole meal could have used a bit more seasoning. For dessert, we shared a creme brulee which was 10/10. Out of all their desserts, get the creme brulee. Everything else was also satisfactory, although it was a full house on a Tuesday, the food came out relatively timely. The service was also very attentive. I would make reservations even on a weekday. read more

A couple of friends suggested this restaurant so my husband and I tried it for our latest date night...and I have to say, this wasn't the ideal place for a date night. The food was good, the space was nice, the service was excellent, but the atmosphere was not quaint or romantic. This is where you would go to celebrate your Nona's 80th birthday party or your daughter's high school graduation. During our 90 minute dinner, the staff came out and sang Happy Birthday 6 times to various tables in the restaurant. So if you ARE looking for an upscale restaurant for a small celebration, this is the place. I ordered the mushroom pasta and my husband had the salmon, both were tasty and plated beautifully. If I ever do have a small party to celebrate, this is the place I will book, but if you are looking for a quiet dinner, I would suggest somewhere else. read more

I had been coming here, every year, for my birthday dinner as I used to absolutely love their paella. Unfortunately, this time I was rather disappointed. Granted, all the food ingredients were plentiful and rich. However, there was a complete and total lack of seasoning. No salt, no pepper, no paprika, no garlic and most of all, NO SAFFRON! On top of that, my husband ordered one of the specials which ended up being all of a variation of chicken parmesan with eggplant. That too, had no seasoning whatsoever. Oi vey, the quality of HOW they prepare their food has taken a hit, and although I know that saffron is an expensive ingredient, it is still MANDATORY for a paella. The service was great, as usual. read more

Excellent meal with a wonderful atmosphere. I had the special of steak tips on pasta noodles in a creamy garlic sauce. And it was a portion for two meals. I couldn't eat it all so a doggy bag was provided. My wife's salmon was cooked to perfection as well. All the staff were knowledgeable and attentive. Service was never hard to find. I HIGHLY recommend trying this place. (I reserve 5 stars ONLY for exceptional places which are rare and wondrous. So 4 stars here is not a slight by any means) read more

Spain Restaurant - Dinning in Spain!! - Spanish Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

If you want a true five star experience, then you have to go to Spain! Thankfully you don't have to buy a plane ticket for this experience! The restaurant is exceptionally well decorated! Beautiful decor and sparkling everywhere! The only thing more impressive is their top notch service... and of course their food! I am normally not a sangria drinker, but Spain truly has an amazing sangria. White or red, it doesn't matter, they are amazing! I have a hard time not ordering the Pollo Jerez. Chicken tenderloins sautéed in a sherry brandy sauce with fresh asparagus, spinach, imported Jamon Serrano, topped with smoked provolone cheese, and served over mashed potatoes. The sauce makes this dish absolutely fantastic! Save room for dessert, as they have some good choices here! My favorite is the Callebaut Chocolate Mousse. So light and decadent, it is truly amazing as well! Again, the whole package is five stars all the way! Grab your friends and take a trip to Spain! read more

With a group of 6...seated promptly-service was excellent (Michael from North Prov-lone) Food -appetizers were ok--empanadas small-bland. Stuffed artichokes--tasteless.-mushy, The Barcelona (Caesar salad) was presented beautifully--the anchovies were rank--and I LOVE anchovies--usually I order extra!) My wife's Limon Chicken --very mushy. Checking around the table--everyone else was very pleased with their entrees--one rating his a 9. Deserts were very good. We had 3 bottles of wine. Check was $500.... cha ching!!! Seriously--I don't' care if this is SPAIN---the value was simply not there. read more

While visiting the area someone suggested Spain restaurant. What a great suggestion. While a bit pricey, the food was so worth it. The garlic shrimp appetizer was delicious as was the specials. I initially was going to pick something off the menu until they came and told us about the four or five specials they had. Filet mignon shrimp in a Papadallia noodle and cream sauce was delicious. Others had the stuffed chicken special with prosciut and mozzarella and spinach delicious as well. The tray of desserts was amazing we had the ice cream with bread pudding and chocolate chips. Service was beyond good. read more

I've been to Spain on numerous occasions over the years and fell in love with this establishment when they first opened in Narragansett years ago. The Cranston location is very beautiful as well as the updated original by the sea. I have never been disappointed by their delicious food. Their signature stuffed veal chop is the plate Dreams are made of. On this night I only went for drinks and apps at the Cranston location. I guess I haven't been there since they changed their policy, but they no longer serve food in the bar area on weekends unless it's after 9:00 because they're "so busy." We stayed in the bar area and decided to just get a couple drinks. I had two Margaritas. One was made by one bartender and it was meh. The second was made by a different bartender and it was great. Let's talk about their Sangria. Maybe it was an off night? This is a restaurant specializes in Mediterranean Spanish influences. The Sangria was like Koolaid. It looks pretty in my picture but it didn't taste good. They really need to work on their recipe. You'll always have a great time here because the food and service is wonderful. Don't plan on eating at the bar though. read more

While the romantic ambiance has remained the same over the years, I have found that food and service have taken a noticeable hit. Mind you, I always thought the food was overrated here, but this most recent visit REALLY made it apparent. The portobello appetizer was absolutely drowned in a clumpy, tasteless cream sauce, and their Veal Spain is rich in all the wrong ways. A deep fried steak for stuffed with seafood suspended in more thick cream? I ordered this out of curiosity but was wholly disappointed, is this even authentic mainland Spanish food? One of the biggest disappointments was my wife's Surf and Turf. Her Filet Mignon confusingly tasted nothing like beef and had an overwhelming flavor of smoked bacon. In fact, nearly EVERYTHING we ordered was either stuffed, smothered in cream, or flavored with bacon. There is not a chance any of this is authentic, and just feels lazy and uninspired. Dated food for an equally dated clientele. You can find a meal that is astronomically better elsewhere in Rhode Island. Restaurants like Revival and Square Peg in Warren, as well as Los Andes and Aguardente in Providence offer INCREDIBLE food and experiences at a much better value. In it's current state, there is absolutely no reason to come here until they bring the food up to 2023 standards. read more

This is what you call TOP NOTCH! Food is amazing, service is fantastic and the atmosphere is SOOO MAGICAL! This is by far one of the best restaurants we have ever eaten at hands down! We came for my Birthday in a group of 6 and everything was perfect! The waiter evidently heard it was my Birthday and brought my dessert out with a singing crew and a candle! :) The pitchers of sangria were really good, the Chicken Spain was mouth watering delicious!! It was Chicken tenderloins stuffed with lobster, shrimp, ham and Castilian cheese, with bread crumbs, topped with cognac mushroom sauce and served with mashed potatoes. OMG is all I can say. My hubby had the Polo Jerrez and his was really good too... That was Chicken tenderloins sautéed in a sherry brandy sauce with fresh asparagus, spinach, imported Jamon Serrano, topped with smoked provolone cheese, and served over mashed potatoes. The dishes all my friends had were spectacular too! This is a MUST GO TO!!! read more

Good food and flavor except the shrimp empanadillas, which were a huge disappointment (super thick dough and minimal amount of shrimp). The fish was deliciously seasoned and the salad was especially fresh. If they would use compostable takeout containers (instead of plastic) to show some support for sustainability, friends and I would be happy to order from them more. read more

The restaurant is beautiful. The food is delicious and the service was amazing. I will definitely return.

This was my first time dining at Spain Restaurant. The outdoor dining set up is very beautiful and it truly looks quite nice, especially if you're celebrating an occasion. Came here to celebrate a friend's birthday. Got the clams casino for appetizer. They were pretty good but got over too quickly. Got the pollo Jerez and chairman's pork tenderloin. Huge portion sizes. Flavors were Aok, nothing special. Good value for money. The reason for 3 stars was mainly because of the service. Our friends had initially ordered lobster, only to be told later that it was not available. Then they ordered a special salad though something else was brought to the table. Then a short rib entree was ordered and again something else was brought out. The server got the order right but came back 10 mins later to say that the item was no longer available. By the time he got his meal, the rest of us had already finished our meals. Either the server should've said in the beginning itself what was not available or something should've been comp'd in the end, although neither happened. Overall good outdoor seating and good value for money. Food flavors were Aok and service could def be better. read more

Definitely a melhor comida da cidade! We were in Rhode Island in an activity and before we got there, we were looking for options for sea food restaurants, and saw this place. I feel bad because I didn't take any photos of the food (only the desert), because I was really enjoying it and when I finished was when I thought "Damn! why didn't I take any photos to make a review". We had the white seafood chowder, the Mariscada Spain, the Mariscada verde and Pan seared Halibut with vegetables and spinach. The white seafood chowder was great! it was very fresh and you can tell there was no corn starch or thickener added because it was so good! The mariscada Spain and the verde were also excellent and with lots and lots of seafood. Very fresh, tasty and so much seafood for the price! The Halibut and spinach, I wanted it to be cooked different (I'm a picky person) and trust me, the waiter listened to everything I said and the chef read everything, because I had no complains and it turned out cooked just the way I wanted it! Plain, no sauce, and the spinach just plain also with no raisins nor oil. The deserts are unbelievable! They bring you a tray with all the deserts so you see them. Do you want to eat the best creamy fresh and tastiest cheesecake ever? They have it at this place! Coconut cheesecake. It was so delicious I wanted to bring at least 3 slices home The service was 5 stars! The waiters know how to sell the food and the deserts. Listen, if you're in the area, give this place a try! They also have an outdoor area. read more
