Espana Tapas Bar in Saint James

A lovely place, good Spanish cuisine, friendly staff. Unfortunately it closed definitively this week. We are all very sad...

Great tapas

Wonderful, marvelous! We haven't had tapas this good since our trip to Spain. We take everyone here and are having our wedding rehearsal dinner here as well. The owner is so kind and he always says hello and asks if we are enjoying our meal. Excellent service and cuisine are quite rare. Treat yourself!!!!

Best atmosphere on LI and great food and wine

This is as close to authentic Spanish food you can find! Don Julio is a great host and is somehow always able to add color to your meal with his stories about life in Madrid. Great food, great tapas, affordable prices for the quality you get.

Great food, professional service, will definitely return.

We get the garlic chicken tapas Everytime we come. Excellent and the atmosphere is wonderful.

Authentic, Spanish food from Spain

Really really good food. Good value as well.

My favorite place to eat for a formal dinner, a quick bite, or even to go! Everyone is wonderful there. The ambience is cozy and the food is simply amazing, authentic cuisine. It’s the only place i can say is consistently amazing and delcious. From the small plates, tapas to the dinners and desserts, everything is better than imagined. The sangria and drinks are great and they usually have a great drink special. The coffee is great too. Really can’t recommend this place enough!

Delicious!

Yummy tapas, great sangria, pleasant service. :)

Wonderful food and live music. Highly recommended

Authentic Spanish tapas.

Great authentic Spanish food owner is from madrid so he knows what he is doing highly recommend!!!

Amazing food - wait staff and owner make you feel like you're friends and family! Biggest secret on MCR!

The place is small but very cute, food was good and service was very attentive. Tapas menu was good and well priced but a little limited.

This is our favorite local restaurant! Why, because it is professional....a true restauranteur, a professional and knowledgable waitstaff provide a diningredients experience, not just a place to eat.

Wonderful tapas and paella. Nice ambience

Good place for food and fun

Espana has great food!!! Julio and Maggie the owners are such warm people and take pride in making sure that the customers are happy.Owesome music!!!!

Espana Tapas was very good at one time..Look for a new restaurant/bar calledHusk and Vine kitchen biesto a farm to table/ bourbon bar.. Full bar also..Opening end of October

Delicious food, great ambiance and great staff.

My wife and I almost passed this by due to the misleading frontage on Middle Country Road ... wow, were we pleasantly surprised when we turned in and entered via the rear parking lot! After being cordially greeted by the owner, we had a delicious Calamari asparagus appetizer and Paella Marinera main course. Excellent!

Very expensive food, and is not so great

Very good food. Very friendly staff.

Great food and always livemusicon the weekends.

The food is great and they have nice wine menu

Have been hearing such wonderful things. Finally tried it out and thought the food was wonderful, and the staff super friendly. Drinks were spot on too.

Over priced, under staffed and owner had nothing but a bad attitude.

Fantastic service

Incredible value. Empanadas were great, as was the service.

The food was fantastic! Listen to the wait staff, they will steer you right. From the lobster coquilles to the empanadillos, the tripe and sausage sautéed, to the wines by the glass, we had a great experience. Will certainly be back!!!

Delicious/Authentic food, Friendliest staff, Great ambiance. Definitely a hidden gem.

Good food, excellent sangria.

Never disappoints!

DELICIOUS! I've never had bad service here- the staff is friendly and always helpful to explain menu items.

Food wasn’t great but the service was good.

Very good!!!!

The service is exquisite. The staff is very attentive to detail and the customer. That is second to the food, which has unique items that I haven't seen in other locales.It's worth the trip and you'll come back.

espana is a great place for authentic spanish cusine.

If you appreciate hard work ...You need to check out the Espana Tapas....As a fellow business owner I watched the way this on a work's make sure everybody's happy make sure the staff is doing to job Food is very good .....Come down and have some fun

Good food but the person who is at the entrance (host) was unprofessional.

Delicious empanadas. Excellent service.

Authentic Spanish food good tapas

The food is good. Nice ambiance. The waitress was awesome, she tried very hard to catter to my sister who is doing this vegiterean/vegan diet. The only issue is the lobster in the mariscada was over cooked and my party had to wait for about 10 minutes after being seated to have our waitress come to us

Great atmosphere, fantastic food. The owner is almost always there and works hard. One of my favorite local spots since moving to the area. My wife and I have been here several times and have necne had a negative experience.Great for sharing tapas, full keals or just drinks. The paella is tremendous.

Ok at best. But probably won't go back.

Been coming here for years and love the authentic Spanish food.

Good service and great food
