Hadn't been in a while and it's still great! A ton of seating inside. The staff were very nice. Party of 4, came here for the Monday/Tuesday lobster dinner special (comes with a side and salad), but we didn't realize it was also restaurant week! 3 courses for $39. 3 of us has the lobster dinner (our sides were string beans, rice, broccoli) and 1 person had the restaurant week menu (fried calamari, seafood pasta fra diavolo, slice of chocolate cake). He requested a surprise birthday candle in the cake and they also put it on a plate that says happy birthday. Really nice presentation! He unfortunately didn't love their version of fra diavolo because it has a ton of peppers. Otherwise it was tasty, he just picked out most of the peppers. The seafood in it was cooked well and he said the shrimp was his favorite part. We also added extra tapas - -brussels sprouts (VERY good) -baked clams (these have stuffing with shrimp and a slice of bacon on top. We actually didn't like these, would prefer clams without a pile of stuffing). read more

I am so happy I decided to come here for a family dinner. The service was great and the food was delicious. They get 5 stars due to their service alone. First, I would like to thank them for having lots of patience with us. Part of our party was running late and they were very accommodating and didn't rush us at all, even when it was close to closing time. Second the food was tasty and plenty. I would order different dishes and share. We ordered some tapas, patatas bravas, fried calamari, lamb chops, and shrimp. All were fresh and delicious. For entrees, we ordered their lobster dish, paella, seafood pasta. Their Paellla is really good and they give you ample protein. My family enjoyed the other dishes. Even their salad hit the spot. Now for dessert, they had ample options so we really appreciated that. There is something for everyone. Come here for a nice date night. Very cute place. As for the drinks. Get their sangria, you won't be disappointed. read more

I have ordered catering from this restaurant a number of times and in that regard, the food is always a good value. Because of this, I wanted to try the food here dining in. We had made a reservation and upon arrival was informed there would be at least a 20 minute wait and were directed to sit at the bar. The wait for a table had to do with a party going on simultaneously. The bartender was kind and attentive. We ordered sangria that was strong, but good. As appetizers we ordered the bacon wrapped scallops, shrimp pil pil and brussel sprouts. The bacon wrapped scallops were good, the presentation could be better though. The shrimp pil pil was also good but pretty forgettable. The brussel sprouts were surprisingly my favorite however the charring and seasoning was a bit uneven, specifically resulting in some random very salty bites. At this point, we are still waiting for our table. A couple who sat at the bar maybe 15 minutes after us somehow managed to get seated before us even though we had been kind and patient with the waitress. They tried to allay us by offering us more sangria and eventually comping our drinks but I found that pretty insulting. Eventually we were seated, likely 45 minutes after our reservation time. Once seated, the service was fairly quick and the waitstaff was pleasant. Before getting seated we ordered their paella valenciana. If the paella was marketed as a seafood rice I would be on board, but paella? No. For what it was, it was just fine but it might have been the most disappointing item we had. It felt like a nicely seasoned yellow long grain rice with an assortment of proteins, no socarrat. For dessert we got the tres leches and the flan. Both were good enough, i enjoyed the tres leches more. read more

I had a great brunch with my girls at Sangria 71! The atmosphere was perfect; the servers were great and the food was awesome! Luis was our server and he did a great job taking care of us (as usual)! We had sangria, to start, calamari, seafood salad, and a tower of appetizers. Our entrees ranged from Fettuccine & jumbo shrimp cognac, lamb chops, Pollo al limon, Paella, and Pollo a la sangria, and of course everything was delicious! The restaurant is always clean and the great food keeps us coming back. If parking were better this would be the perfect spot! We'll be back! read more

Review based on food only. Got takeout here, and it wasn't bad...but also not that good. Paella with mixed protein was flavorful, but overpowered by saltiness. For the price, I should not have felt like I was mostly eating rice, but there I was... read more

Love their weekday specials....Can't beat their service and friendliness. Go there hungry, leave there satisfied.

Made 11:30 reservations for Mother day b/c of there brunch menu only to be told after seating they weren't selling brunch b/c of the holiday. No we're in there menu did it say that they don't offer brunch on holiday. Was told they could not accommodate us and the manager was extremely rude and snarky when tell us that "everyone know we don't serve brunch on Mother's Day" which clearly is not true. The ambiance was not there give all the attitude from ever service around. read more

we love the restaurant and our server Isabella was AMAZING!!! She was the BEST SERVER EVER!!! So nice and was absolutely the best ever!! We will surely go back just because of her! read more

Amazing every time we come, even for parties. Had our son's baptism here and worth every penny. Great service & food.

To start, I have been here before and it was a pleasant experience. This time everything started out fine. Then, the waiter we had got a bit of an attitude. Our appetizer, brought by a different server, was delicious and then when my entree came, it didn't have what the menu said. I ordered a steak and it was pretty fatty, but it was supposed to come with mushrooms, peppers and onions. Since our waiter never came to check, another waitress did and when I mentioned it to her, she just looked at me and said nothing. My dinner guest ordered dessert which we split and it was not good at all. It had a very strange taste to it. We didn't finish it and asked for the check. Then the original waiter gave us the check. Since he was rude for no reason, we gave him a 15% tip, but it really should have been 10%. After this experience, we decided that we will not return anymore. There are many other Spanish restaurants that we can go to. read more

Paella Marinera - Fairly nice portion size for 2 adults and 2 kids. I usually like the bottom of my Paella rice to have a little texture or socarrat. Not easy to do for these types of restaurants because they need to get the food out quick and don't want to risk burning the food. So risk/reward is not there for them to make the socarrat. As far as the favor and the cook of seafood it was okay. Nothing special. Churrasco Platter - Asked for medium rare and got medium rare which is good. Nice portion size for 2 adults and 2 kids. Lamb chops were nice and Skirt steak was cooked properly. Nothing special. Kids would come back but not at the top of their list. read more

Delicious variety of sangria flavors. Thats their biggest highlight to me. Tight space with mariachi band makes for cramped and uncomfortable surroundings. Went on ladies night. Because I began my tab 15 minutes before it started, nothing I ordered after the time would count at the ladies night price. Also was told I couldn't pay first tab and start a new 1. Would not return or recommend. read more

Taking my previous star down... Sorry guys. But my visit yesterday for lunch was so disappointing. Seems eating here after 1:15pm was a bad idea, the cozy dining room (first room with the burnt sienna colored walls) was full. My party of three were seated in the more formal dining room and we were the only ones there. Our waiter was less than attentive and our waters were never refilled throughout the entire lunch, we had to ask and by then, we were done eating. We ordered lunch specials as I mentioned to my companions that it was the best deal in town but to my surprise, the food was underwhelming. I had the grilled pork chop which was delicious and hot. I asked for potatoes as my side and they were neatly laid out homemade chips. My hubby ordered the Paella Valencia and his seafood was semi dry and overcooked. But my friend ordered the seafood combination on a hot place with rice on the side. The shrimps were totally overcooked and the rice was cold! And to boot, we each asked for soup with our lunches and all of our soups were lukewarm. Almost room temperature. Why was it not hot? No idea! Sangria was not good this visit either. Sad face. I was very disappointed given I've eaten here several times and recommended it many times over. Now I no longer can since the service and food was inconsistent. That is why we liked it before, it was consistent. But not anymore. read more

Early dinner at Sangria 71. Excellent service it was quiet, the restaurant was not crowded. At our table: Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail, Caldo Gallego, Steak Veal, side of homemade potato chips. Drink: Cosmopolitan and for dessert a tart with almond paste, delicious. About the Caldo Gallego it was good but it didn't have the thickness that it usually has, that is my personal preference and my experience. I definitely recommend Sangria 71 read more

outstanding service food was delicious big portions I had to take it home it was a lot of great food thank you Sangria 71 had a great time

This place is a lot of fun. The food is good--not the best I've ever had, but solid. They have a big menu with some really cool options, and everything comes out beautifully plated. The happy hour and specials are great, and they always have fun bands playing. Everyone there is super friendly, and the vibe is really what makes it. I'd give the food 3 stars, but the overall experience a 4--it's more about the ambience and energy. I actually went for a birthday party and had such a good time I went back to buy a gift certificate for my mom. She loves seafood, and I know she'd have a blast here. read more

I liked most aspects of the service and space but the food was not great. First off, service was good and efficient. The portions were very generous (and they gave us two baskets of house bread for a table of 3) and appetizers on the set menu, intended for individuals, were really large and were definitely sharable. The food though honestly wasn't that great. I tried the seafood paella and it was so over salted while peas were undercooked. No hint of saffron and rice was rather starchy. Seafood was cooked well and not overdone. The dessert was also sizeable. The set menu for dinner (appetizer, main, dessert) was $39 per head and made for a few meals after. Of the appetizers, I tried a calamari which lacked crispiness and flavor in the batter, and the fried manchego cheese with honey, which was rubbery and did not have enough honey to cut the cheese. The desserts were good though! read more

Great experience on first visit. We went to celebrate my son's Bday. Party of 5. We ordered the Paella, the Seafood Tower Seafood combo & Seafood Fra Diablo. All delicious servings. Portions were decent. We had sangria & wine for cocktails. Overall, I spent about $400. One negative is that there were no freebies for the birthday boy.. Would have been appreciated. Very attentive & friendly waiters read more

We love to sit at the bar to eat and drink. We were there several years ago and loved it. Recently, one of favorite bartenders, Fernando, began bartending here.

You won't believe what this establishment put me through. What's the name of this place....oh yeah, Sangria 71. They put me through a very lovely dinner experience from beginning to end. We had reservations for 2:30 and were seated within a couple of minutes of arriving. The ambiance was pleasant and soothing with low music and lighting. (Though I felt the lighting was a bit too low.) Appetizers: croquettes de bacalao, chorizo, and empanadas. All good dishes and portions. Entrees: Delicious! Skirt steak was very tender and cooked as ordered. Salmon had a flaky texture and was very flavorful with the capers sauce it was served with. Chicken breast in a wine sauce was very tender and not overwhelming with the onions and mushrooms. Every dish that came from the kitchen was hot and placed at the setting of the individual that ordered it. No fumbling dishes around. Sangria pitchers were excellent. The staff: From the host to the manager, the server to the runner, they all provided a warm, friendly, and exceptional service. I will absolutely revisit and recommend! read more

Excellent service, dishes that delight. Priced better than the competition- a hidden gem you must try! The lunch special is on point ~ sangria could be better but it wasn't bad. The Catalan crème is a must try. read more

I like the ambiance but the food and drinks were so mid lacked flavor sangria was trash which I was very disappointed.

Great experience at Sangria 71 Thursday night...I had to be in the area for a Wake and was unsure of a restaurant to grab dinner prior as I made great time from NJ Monday thru Thursday Sangria 71 offers a beautiful 3 course dinner for $39 The choices were incredible I went with their avocado salad, garlic shrimp and the Skirt Steak while my wife went with the caldo soup, fried manchego and paella The skirt steak had a $14 up charge which was well worth it, the steak had to be at least 12oz maybe more and it was cooked perfectly. The salad and soup were very good while the garlic shrimp were the best I have ever had, I was eating the sauce like soup...seriously fantastic rendition The paella was solid, the mussels were Sandy but everything else in the dish was excellent. Service was outstanding. From what I understand they offer a great happy hour at the bar with food and cocktail specials. If you are in the area don't hesitate to try Sangria 71 read more

I came here on a double date and we have a mix of thoughts! Ambience was nice and wait staff was extremely friendly. All of us got the 3-course dinner for $39, which we thought was a good deal. Between the four of us, we ordered the: - pitcher of red sangria (excellent) - garbanzo salad (good) - garlic soup (excellent) - fried manchego with honey (excellent) - avocado salad (good) - patatas bravas (good) - salmon sangria (sauce was good but salmon was just okay) - paella valenciana, paella marinera, paella de carne (beautiful and huge portions but a little too salty and shrimp seemed like maybe it was frozen?) We were very happy with how big our portions were but we felt like some of the food could've been better. The wait time between courses was a little long (we were running late for our next engagement)--especially given that I, in particular, felt like some of the seafood may have been frozen, so I don't know if the paella warranted such a long cook/wait time after the second course. Good but not sure if I'll be back; there are LOTS of menu options so maybe I'll try something else next time. read more

Some friends and I met here for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. There wasn't a lot of patrons when we arrived. The restaurant is big enough to offer social distancing. They also have outside dining which looked more intimate. The staff were professional and extremely friendly and welcoming throughout our entire stay. Everyone practiced safety measures for COVID. Our waiter was amazing and I forgot his name because he patiently answered all of our menu questions and made suggestions. We lingered at our table after our meal and dessert and no one rushed us to leave as we talked and cackled away. We didn't order appetizers. My two friends ordered the steak and shared a dish of paella which they agreed was good. I ordered the arroz con pollo (rice,chicken&chorizo). Since COVID I stopped eating red meat and pork trying to eat "healthier." However, when I tell you I slaughtered that rice with chicken and chorizo (pork sausage). It was soo delicious and I had enough to take home for dinner. The three of us shared a pitcher of the red sangria which was yummy and just enough for us. For dessert, one of my friends had the tres leche slice and me and my other friend shared the chocolate slice. Honey, I was like I am full and didn't really want any cake. However, we ate every bit of the chocolate slice, It was fresh with just the right of sweetness. We were completely stuffed at this point. LOL We all agreed we would return here and check out some other menu items. Great times and experiences despite COVID! read more
