I have been to this place at least 4 times, and every time the food and service were great. Love the paella, a must try! read more

See all

I admit I was skeptical when this place first opened but I've been very impressed. Good sangria, modello on tap ( what a treat!) and genuinely enthusiastic service brought us back for drinks a few times. When we finally managed to make it in to eat at the bar, we were really impressed with the food. The grouper tacos and spicy potatoes were fabulous, and the Serrano ham fritters were such a delicious surprise. It does feel like the dining room is pretty formal, but we feel fine in casual clothing at the bar. Can't wait for the patio to open! read more

Food wasn't good tonight. Service wasn't up to par. No one checked on us and we had to send something back. They weren't that busy , very disappointed probably won't go back. read more

Great food and amazing service!! Will go back definitely!! The chorizo is great and stuffed banana peppers to die for!! Finished with the amazing pistachio cheesecake was delicious!! read more

No such thing as mediocre food or lousy service at Sangria y Tapas! This place is awesome in every respect. The menu selection is beyond compare. Come and discover for yourself. I guarantee your satisfaction! read more

We went there about 2-3 weeks after opening so maybe they need some time to adjust. There were sooo many employees on the floor, looking confused, running into each other. They were all very nice but didn't seem to have been trained. Their sangria was not good which was a bummer because they should be known for it. The tuna avocado tower was awesome. The shrimp ceviche was awful. The fish tacos were average. I don't think we will try it again. read more

I have not been to many tapas bars but I must say, I was impressed with this place. The outside decor is about 20 years outdated however, the food and service more than makes up for it. We had sampled 8 tapas and 2 types of sangria... Excellent! We did not have a bad dish. I saw someone comment on the fish tacos before and I have to say, if you don't like corn tortillas, ask flour ones and them the fish tacos would be perfect. I will definitely be visiting again in the near future and hope to get the same quality of food and service. Note: I would personally not recommend the patio, it has a great view of I-90 and is loud from the traffic of cars going by. read more

I love Sangria y Tapas. Yes, the food is fabulous and lots of options (I especially love the grilled octopus), but I rarely feel so welcomed and special as I do at the bar at Sangria. Marco delivers a world class customer experience every time and makes every visit special. Keep it up Marco and Sangria. read more

A party of 5 went this past Sunday. It had rained earlier in the day so I called ahead to see if they had patio seating available. They said they would dry off a table for us and get it ready. We all thought that was great service. When we arrived, our table was ready and we had the patio to ourselves. We ordered several tapas and a pitcher of red sangria. The sangria was perfect. Not one complaint on any of the tapas either---artichokes, fish tacos, tomato/cheese on toast points, a couple of wonderful salads and croquettes. The service was exceptional and they even brought all of us a shot of a Portugese almond liquor which we devoured. There were not many people here, although it was around 6PM on a Sunday, but I desperately hope this restaurant stays open. The food was great, the sangria very tasty and the service is probably the best I have encountered in months. All 5 of us swore we would return and I, for one, can't wait to go back sooner rather than later. read more

Cute place with generally good, if brusque, service. We have only been there once, so take this review as a point in time. The four of us had assorted tapas and the daily special seafood platter. The tapas were a bit pricey and generally Ok, but not very refined for the price point. I can get similar items like beef carpaccio as an appetizer at some chain restaurants (i.e. Brio) for a similar price and receive more food and far better presentation. We got the seafood platter largely because they said it included a lobster tail, which is technically correct but it was not a Maine lobster tail, it was an overcooked half of a little rock lobster tail. The mussels were tried three times and all were bad; nothing like a bad mussel to ruin your tastebuds for a bit. The shrimp were all overcooked. The scallops were well done. We finished with the Spanish Coffee, a tasty drink with a fun table-side preparation, the creme brûlée, which was denser than the French version, and the tiramisu. I love independent restaurants, but this one was expensive and just Ok. read more

What a find! First of all the service was impeccable. Guermo (Bill) offered a great wine suggestion followed by some fantastic tapas. Great place for a date, work dinner or family. The tapas were really really good..artichokes, potatoes, calamari(sauce was amazing). Wonderful dining experience..beautiful patio. Guermo and Tony both were so warm. From A-Z fantastic! We will be back often!! Desserts were dangerous and awesome coffee! read more

I pass this restaurant every day and finally decided to give it a try with a friend. We walked in around 8:00 on a Saturday and were seated right away. It was crowded, but we still were met with great service. Being our first time here my friend and I decided to split 4 tapas items and got a dessert to split. We were stuffed! We also ordered the red sangria (it's in the name) and this was also excellent. I've heard they have a great happy hour and patio in the summer so I know I'll be back! read more

Love this place, they know a little some thing about customer service, went there on a Friday and was completely satisfied and the bartender Marco is so cool and fun. read more

This is a great dining experience! The food, atmosphere and service were top notch. A great staff made our family's first time worth repeating. And they are child friendly! read more

Just stopped for drinks and a snack in the late afternoon and found this place in our GPS. What a pleasant surprise. House made red Sangria was excellent and we ordered a couple things from the tapas menu. The service was impeccable read more

So many mixed emotions about this place. Some of the tapas are truly fantastic like all of the octopus - all three dishes. The gambas en ajillo very good. But then you have the croquetas that look and taste like frozen cheese pockets. And let's be honest: the paella is clearly not paella in the sense of using bomba rice. It's more like the rice you get with a burrito at a Mexican restaurant with peas and overcooked chicken and chorizo piled on. It really is not paella, and you should t come here if you want paella. The sangria is meh, but the mains are solid. But then you have a host like Kadris who is so wonderful and makes everyone feel at home and want to come back. read more

This place was phenomenal! Service, food, atmosphere all an A+. We will definitely be back. Vladimir was a magician making the martinis read more

I went here to see a performance by Justo Saborit, which was fabulous. Also fabulous was the food, drink and service. Gentleman friend was also impressed. The sauteed calamari was my fave but everything was delicious. We will be back, even if Justo isn't there! But that was a bonus. read more

Nice restaurant and the service was ok, but that's where the good ends. The bread was served with a plate of oil. Not sure what kind of oil, but it was very bland. No seasonings in the oil. I ordered the shrimp cocktail which was expensive for 4 pieces of shrimp and also tasteless. My friend got the spinach dip which was the consistency of soup. The drinks were watered down and had very little alcohol in them. We thought we could save the whole experience by ordering dessert, but that didn't go well either. The creme brûlée tasted like vanilla pudding and was a huge disappointment. We will not be going there again. read more

What a nice surprise! We were looking for something different and decided to try this place. Very nice. Nice ambiance, the staff are all dressed neatly and are very polite and attentive. The service was wonderful and the food very good. This is dining out old school style. Definitely recommend for that special occasion. read more

Great tasty tapas. Nice neighborhood place to drop in for happy hours.

Nice environment and excellent service. Food is very authentic. Great environment for a date. I'll definitely come back.

Stumbled upon this great place after an afternoon at nearby Crocker Park. As new arrivals in the Cleveland area we were hoping to find a top notch Spanish restaurant and we did! We ordered from the tapas menu, four different tapas, each was excellent and there were many more we'll want to try next time. Plus a great wine selection. The staff and owner couldn't have been more attentive and efficient and friendly. It was a nice weather evening for a change and we ate on the outside patio, a pleasant experience. We'll definitely be back! read more

Absolutely amazing. The paella Valencia was unbelievable! Lobster, scallops, shrimp, mussels, clams, chicken, and sausage with saffron rice. Comes with steamed broccoli and cauliflower. read more

the bar is dingy and musty. Bartender was nice. Drinks ok.

One of my top five restaurants in the Cleveland area! Their patio seating area is very cozy and all lit up with white lights. The wait staff is friendly and provide excellent service. The food, though, is what keeps me going back! Everything has been delicious and all worth trying. If you have never tried octopus, this is the place to do it. I thought it was shrimp when I first tasted it, since we had a few apps before dinner and It looked like grilled shrimp to me, so I just dug in! I was pleasantly surprised when my son said "you just ate octopus, mom!" Delicious!! I have enjoyed frequenting Sangria all summer and hope to go back a few more times while the weather is still nice! You have to try this wonderful place, but be sure you make reservations!! read more

If I could put no stars I would. We come from Pittsburgh and decided to go there because of the good reviews. We got there around 4:30 and the parking lot was almost empty which is a red flag but it was still early so we decided to give it a try. Once seated we ordered white sangria to start and what we got was a pitcher full of Tropicana orange juice ice and a little bit of alcohol. I took one sip and it was disgusting I don't know how can a restaurant call that "white sangria" we left right away if that's what they served for drink I definitely don't want to try the rest read more

Ambiance is awesome the food is excellent and the employees are polite with great service. The 2 owners are the perfect Chiefs I would refer my family and friends and to anyone. This is the perfect place. read more

Great place to eat! good food and service and the environment was excellent. The shrimp Alfredo was the best i've ever had. Would highly recommend read more

Amazing food and service! Excellent wine selection. Love the outdoor patio in the summer.

A perfect dinner on Valentines Day! This place is amazing with sumptuous food and outstanding libation. They make a stiff martini -- the best I've had in the Greater CLEVELAND Area and second only to Smith and Wollensky in Columbus. My wife and daughter, however, rave about the red sangria, which many tables seem to enjoy. Tonight, the three of us split two wonderfully prepared dinners -- seafood platter and Chilean sea bass-- plus our go-to tapas dish of papirika octopus. You can't go wrong here! We also had an amazing waitress, Valeria, who made sure our meal was special. She suggested try the chips with lemon and Tabasco sauce, which we all enjoyed. To finish the evening, we had tres leche for dessert -- superb! Nicely done, perfect pace -- love this restaurant!! read more

One of my favorite restaurants ....classy yet casual...everything is wonderful, fresh and presented as if you were in a very small expensive restaurant . The staff is attentive....I feel so pampered. White table cloths and elegant decor. Sangria is best I've had. I love that no matter what you order, you get platters of yellow rice, al dente plain FRESH vegetables (usually broccoli ) , and bowl of freshly made crispy (non oily/ salted ) chips....Reasonably priced , never disappoints. read more

Nice venue! Very pleasant staff however the food was almost uneatable & not authentic in the least. Now 9 hours after eating 4 "chips" I'm still trying to digest them. They tasted like they were fried in motor oil. Also we were served a small dish of "Olive" oil w garlic & cheese & what ever the oil was , it most assuredly wasn't 1st or 2nd pressing of olive! It may have been something called olive oil pumace which I used to see in a Greek grocery store in Skokie, IL, that sold for 1/2 of what real olive sold for but can't say for sure because I never had the nerve to buy it to try it. All I can think of that it must have been bad because it was so cheap! I had the seafood stew that came w 2 scampi, 5 mussels, 5 baby clams & a baby lobster tail. Out of the 5 small mussels, 3 were empty shells & the lobster was tasteless! She had the Paella which really wasn't, as the rice was done w curry powder & Not Saffron! Can't believe so many people give this place 5 stars but I guess most have never traveled to Portugal or Spain or even to Newark, NJ that has a tons of famous Spanish & Portuguese, quality restaurants?? read more

Tapas is the only way to go here! Small plates are the best and entrees are good not great! And yes the Sangria is a must! That is worth going to the restaurant. read more

Wow, this one of the best restaurants in the Cleveland area. Service is very European/Spanish, very attentive and accommodating. Now the food is exceptional. We've tried something different each time and the dishes were always executed perfectly. The food is superb, highly recommended!!! read more

I eat here a lot,I live just down the street. Everything on the menu is well prepared from the octopus to the braised short ribs.There are so many different types of food and cooking styles on the menu and all are executed amazingly well. Tapas at the bar is a great way to try the place out,they have a nice happy hour. Staff is beyond professional,friendly and helpful. Oh and get the almond cake for dessert,it's one of a kind and the best! read more

Fantastic experience. Beautiful classy restaurant, waiters in suits, table linens, and cloth napkins. My Paella Valenciana had enough food for two dinner entrees - lobster(!), shrimp, scallops, mussels, clams, chicken, sausage, and rice - all in a $15 lunch entrée. My wife enjoyed her Pollo a la Coruñeza ($10) which is chicken breast with mushrooms in a marsala wine sauce. Also included were warm Italian bread with olive oil, soup or salad, steamed broccoli and green beans, and chips. We splurged on a $12.95 half pitcher of Red Sangria and received complementary after dinner drinks. Service was impeccable, our waiter was courteous and friendly. read more

Nice quiet Portuguese restaurant. Great service from Will. He knew the menu Inside and out he was very helpful. The manager stopped at our table and was very friendly. We felt the rice was under cooked a little bit. The rest of the food was very good. read more

This place has great sangria and the food on a whole is really good. But the price is kind of high for how little food you get.

Went her for a birthday dinner off of a co-workers recommendation. We got the patatas bravas, camarones al ajillo, mushroom risotto and the fried calamari as well as a half pitcher of sangria and a flan for desert. The food was pretty good and the service was excellent. My least favorite was the flan, it was less creamy and more like a firm jello. The patatas bravas were interesting, they were nicely prepared potatoes tossed in this sauce that tasted like buffalo sauce mixed with mayonnaise. The mushroom risotto was surprisingly my favorite! The flavors were really developed in this dish and I couldn't get enough. Will revisit this place and try more small dishes! read more
