Spain Restaurant and Toma Bar

William Cassell

We had a large family meal at this amazing restaurant after researching a unique dining experience and were not disappointed! There was live music, excellent food, and the best service! The staff made the experience fun by interacting with our group and taking great care of us. We loved the atmosphere of the restaurant, as well. It was all around a great time and really made our family get together quite festive! I will plan to return to this restaurant on my next trip to Tampa. It would be worth it to eat at this restaurant alone. As a side note, it also had many meal items that were gluten free and it was so nice to have some very good options!!

I began going here from the time this place opened so many years ago. I have to share that I absolutely loved their food. However, in the recent years it’s been hit or miss. I usually order the same thing and only change from time to time. Today though, I must say was a sort of last straw. My order is very specific but very clear and simple. Unbelievably they still get it wrong on some occasions but they manage to redo it. (You would think that if they can’t remember, they would write it down.) The problem comes when I’m standing there waiting for the order to be corrected and the person who is attending walks off to do something else while I stand there wondering when she’s going to get back to my order. To top out off I order a deviled crab (the last one there) and upon sitting down to enjoy it, it looks and tastes like it was fried to death and picked up from the floor (disgusting) - hard, dried out. Trust, I only opened it because there was nothing there consumable. How can you, in good conscience, even consider selling something in this condition!?! Needless to say, I know I won’t break their business, but after many years of hoping it would get better, I’m finally admitting to myself that it won’t… Good bye Spain, it wasn’t me… it was you!

Once again, my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our dinners at the Spain Restaurant and Toma Bar. The seafood was artfully presented and prepared with perfection. We always make sure to follow up with this delicious Cream Catalana. Portion sizes were generous, and Casey was efficient and helpful in assisting in our selection of entrees. We will certainly be returning often to this hidden jewel in downtown Tampa.

May be they have better items in the menu… but the paella does not taste good… rice is mushy and it is overall tasteless. Having said so I know I have high expectations as I have had authentic paella in the past… this one is way below average any paella I had in my life. Service is good and friendly though!
