This Spanish restaurant is an absolute standout. The seafood paella arrived piping hot and overflowing with bold, rich flavor, every bite was tender, perfectly seasoned, and honestly unforgettable. The warm rolls, friendly service, and cozy atmosphere made the whole experience even better. I grabbed the cheesecake for dessert since they were out of the chocolate cake, and it was creamy and delicious. It was too cold to enjoy the outdoor seating, but it looked amazing for next time. If you’re ever in the area, go!! you won’t regret it.

Delicious!! We got the special appetizers chicken empanadas- very good- it had crunchy texture and flavorful filling. Shrimp ceviche was AMAZING. Pork, chorizo all fantastic. We got the salads to share as well. 5/5!! Our server was very nice and checked on us often. We will come back for sure!

My Husband wanted to try “something different” before leaving Amelia Island, and decided to try Espana Restaurant & Tapas. We were NOT at all disappointed! [Take the time to read the menu ahead as there is plenty to savor.]
We had a couple glasses of wine along with the Paella Marinera (seafood). It was so beautiful, that it was almost a shame to dig in. The entree was set for two, but the portion was enough to take care of a party of 4!!! Thank you so much for a great parting meal we look forward to our return.

This is the ONLY MUST on Amelia Island. Everything we had was impeccable. The Portuguese Fisherman’s Stew is heavenly. The Tapas are excellent. The service, the best we have experienced on the island. The price is reasonable for a vacation spot and the price is fantastic for the quality of food.
The presentation is also exemplary as is evidenced in the pictures.
If you are on Amelia Island and do not come here, you have missed one of, if not the best restaurant on the island.

This place was more than I could have imagined. My friend had been wanted to go forever, so we decided to give it a try. We had a reservation and were seated immediately. Our waiter, Omar, was the BEST. He started off telling us she specials of the day as well as recommending entrees. We started with empanadas, and they were delicious. I’m not to much a fan of seafood and a lot of the dishes contained some sort of seafood. I chose the spicy shrimp in garlic sauce tapas. Delicious My friend has the Mariana paella, and the portion was enormous. Definitely made for two. He could not stop raving on how delicious it was. We definitely will be back and hope we get Omar again as our server. The only reason I gave the establishment a 4 on atmosphere is because it was a little noisy, but what more can you expect with a full house.

Such amazing service our waiter Eddie was so friendly and had a great personality and his recommendations were superb. The food was amazing you can tell the chef has passion and everything was freshly made. The outdoor patio area was perfect and welcoming such a wonderful way to end a beautiful Saturday.

We had the pleasure of having dinner here and it was amazing! Michael was our server and he was so nice and attentive, the food was amazing. Visiting from Georgia and Texas for our yearly family reunion and Georgia vs Florida game. Thank you for a wonderful evening and highly recommend them, Go Dawgs!

Enjoyed authentic Spanish tapas on our first visit here. The menu has plenty of interesting offerings. The fried calamari was perfect. Nice ambiance and the service was excellent. Outdoor dining is available — there seemed to be more outdoor tables than indoor. Reservations recommended.

First, be patient for parking, parking is a premium in all of downtown.
Our servers were Ashley our waitresses and Casey who was part of the bus staff. Drinks were always full and clean plates cleared without being requested. I know some restaurants reward their employees when they get mentioned in a review and I hope Espaná does and if not, maybe they should consider it.
Ambiance was nice, with both indoor and outdoor seating. We sat inside as we had been out in the sun all day and wanted a cool place to sit.
But you want to know about the food:
Wine/beer/drinks – wine, beer, soft drinks, teas and house made Sangria.
Scallops Ole – my favorite fish of the night, Panko covered scallops in a phenomenal sauce. Order bread with it do you can get all of the sauce. They cut the scallops in half, so you only get two full scallops and four total bites.
Ceviche – fantastic, my wife’s favorite of the night.
Stew – hmm, filled with clams, mussels, octopus, shrimp and a host of veggies. Loved the ingredients but it was very salty, not so salty you cannot eat it, but on the verge. Probably would not order this dish again.
No room for dessert.
Again wonderful service, great wine and beer menu, and the food is incredible.

Great variety of food ( see menu) . We had some tapas and the Paella Marinera.
Better than the paella we had in Lisbon on a food tour!! Perfect portion for two. Everything was fresh and service was timely.
The restaurant seems to go out of their way to accommodate special food requests . ( overheard at nearby table) q
Our waiter Eddie was delightful and did not over sell or rush us .
Lovely indoor and outdoor seating.
We made reservations day of on a holiday weekend but for 4pm. Great mid day meal!
