Reviews For Spanish River Grill & Wine Bar

What a wonderful experience! We had our first dinner out in months since welcoming our baby, and this spot exceeded all expectations. It came highly recommended by several friends who couldn’t stop raving about the food, and they were absolutely right—the dishes were exceptional, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was top-notch. As a small business owner myself, I have a special appreciation for places where the owners are clearly hands-on. Their presence and passion for their business shone through in every detail, and it truly enhanced the entire experience. It’s always inspiring to see that level of care and commitment.

An absolute hidden gem. Very cute outdoor patio space that’s dog friendly, and a very inviting and cozy interior. The food is absolutely amazing, the chicken a la plancha was “chefs kiss”. The pork belly tapas was amazing as well; tender, and delicious. We will definitely be coming back!

Menu is always changing with amazing options! Had the mussels to start, then the Oysters special followed by the lamb chops then had the Oysters again for dessert because they’re that good! Oh and probably the best Martini in town. Great food Great people highly recommended! Wish I took more pics to share.... Next time

Food was Amazing!!! For starters we ordered Pan con tomato, Pork Belly, Mushrooms with Egg, Patatas Brava and Croquettas. The flavors on all were perfect if I had to choose only 1 from the list it would be hard but probably Croquettas. ENJOY

Excellent experience! Bikini sandwich and green beans were impressively tasty. The lovely bartender Giovanna recommended a wine from Portugal that was perfect. Ambiance is cozy and chic. The desserts look amazing. Highly recommend.

An absolute fantastic experience at Spanish River Grill! Even though they were under staffed for the day, everything was just as seamless as every other time we have been. The small things, like drinking from the owner’s grandma’s martini glasses, to the delicious deserts and home grown organic tomatoes and fresh ingredients, it is always consistent, delicious, and a place we will return to. Must get the whipped feta and the mushrooms. Thank you for making my birthday dinner an awesome one!

Went to the Spanish River Grill and we ordered some tapas for the table as a starter which was a great call. Our main was a paella.This dish takes a while to prepare so we placed it with our wine order. It was timed perfectly! The wine came out first, then the tapas. As soon as the tapas were finished the main came out and it did not disappoint. It was magnificent. The flavors was just right. I absolutely loved it. If you go there get the paella. You’ll love it!
