    Paella Valenciana con Langosta Dinner
    Natasha F.

    I have to tell you the restaurant is gorgeous and the service is top notch excellent. The ambiance has a vintage kind of feel. We did not like the octopus it seemed to have been heated at a high heat which left it a bit undone inside - but everything else was top notch especially the dessert that was flambéd omg so amazing!!! My Espresso was also proper and amazing! The waiter offered to take a picture of our family as well.

    We came here for a friend's birthday lunch--this Spanish restaurant has been around a long time and definitely has that old-world charm, though it could use a bit of an update. That said, the place was lively and packed, with lots of groups celebrating birthdays and graduations. The all-male waitstaff, dressed sharply in suits, were highly professional and provided attentive, courteous service throughout the meal. The food was a bit of a mixed bag. The three of us shared, the mussels in green parsley sauce which were huge and plump, but they had a slight fishy taste that took away from the dish. My friend couldn't eat them after taking one bite. Me and my husband on the other hand did eat them. She chose the French onion soup--which I wouldn't typically expect at a Spanish restaurant--but since the menu also included some Italian and American dishes, it wasn't too surprising. She was happy with her choice. The seafood paella with lobster was a generous portion and had good flavor, with a nice mix of mussels, clams, shrimp, and bay scallops. They serve it tableside, which adds a nice touch, but it's cooked in the kitchen--so the tableside service is purely for presentation. Unfortunately, there was no socarrat--the crispy rice at the bottom that's usually the best part. My friend also had the paella and noticed the same thing. My husband tried the shrimp-stuffed flounder in a white wine champagne sauce--the sauce was bland and the flounder was dry. The white sangria was just okay--not terrible, but nothing memorable. They do offer tableside service if you order a full pitcher, which is a nice touch, but since we each only wanted a glass, we didn't get that experience. Overall, it was a decent experience, but with a few tweaks in the kitchen and a refresh of the space, it could really shine again.

    Excellent food and very attentive service. Authentic Spanish cuisine in our neighborhood. There were live harp music in the dining room, other nights feature guitar music, flamingo dancing. A real local gem.

    Haven't been in years (previous experience was just ok), was craving paella so gave it another try. For apps we shared the Croquettes, Empanadillas de Carne and Queso, and the fried calamari. Sadly we didn't really enjoy our apps, the calamari was ok but the rest was not to our liking. The Paella Valenciana with lobster was flavorful however the shrimps were way over cooked (practically mush), and there was sand in the clams. Lobster was a tad overcooked as well. The Lobster and seafood casserole in a lobster sauce was tasty, the shrimps were cooked better than the paella but still had sand in the clams. As for service I wouldn't say any waiters were particularly friendly but the job was done. One particular waiter would start to answer a question, before he even finished he would basically walk away and say he'll handle it, when another waiter was nearby. It was odd and a bit dismissive. Unlikely we would return based on our below average meal and service.

    The experience & the vibe is great, except for the 1 server who was inappropriate. The staff sang "happy bday" for us twice! The food can be better. We all chose dishes from the "Pre Fixe Special" which is from Tuesday Through Friday, 12pm- 6:30pm, $24.95 pp- 1 Appetizer & 1 entree. We got shrimp croquetas. I didn't taste the bechamel. There's a bit of minced shrimp in it. The amount of shrimp def should be increased. It was really dense & since it's deep fried, it felt dry w/o sauce. I can't believe it's served w/o sauce! Marinara wuda been perfect. We were given hot sauce when we asked. We also got : 1) salad 2) Pollo alla Madrid- Boneless Chicken Sautéed in Lemon & Wine Sauce 3) paella a la Valencia- Seafood, Chicken, Chorizo, Saffron rice 4) arroz con pollo-Chicken And Saffron Rice with Chorizo 5) Lenguado Al Jefe- Fillet Of Sole Stuffed with Crab, Shrimp & Lobster Sauce I only tried the latter entree. The rice had bell peppers, which was unexpected. If I'd known before, I def wuda said no bell peppers. I didn't like the sauce. The string beans on the side were very bland. I feel like the food didn't sit well with me, prolly cuz of the bell peppers. My coworker didn't like the arroz con pollo. The rice was hard, peas undercooked. She didn't like the cappuccino either. The other 2 coworkers enjoyed their food.

    Always a good time at Marbella. Authentic Spanish food from Queens with a 19726pedigree. Make sure to order the crepes. Spanish coffee is no joke too.

    Saw this restaurant recommended by many on a FB restaurant group so decided to try for hubbies birthday and so glad we did! To start off there is parking! The waiter, Marcelo is amazing! The food so good and the service 10/10. We had such a nice dining experience and we all agreed we would def return. I highly recommend.

    Wonderful class act. The paella is the best and the romantic guitar is excellent on Thursday nights.
