I'd give this place 6 stars if I could. The server from Greece is top-tier. He created a stand-out experience from start to finish. The Spanish coffee demonstration was extra and FABULOUS. Their entire menu is incredible. It's a great spot for a date night, evening out with friends, or a formal dinner out- this place has it all. In the warmer months, there's also a fab patio. read more

Unique dining experience here with small plates of food - everything was very good but just note that you do not get a lot of food unless you're ordering one of the more expensive dinners. Nice atmosphere and a very nice bar area. Very authentic! read more

A corner location that has an appeal to the neighborhood. Huge menu that will test anyone with a varied palette. Our party of three had different tastes and all were impressed. I had tapas plates of octopus, veggie plate, and bean stew. All were excellent and moderate quantity to satisfy most. I'm a clean plate member and needed a to go box. Give it a try. The service is outstanding. read more

This quickly became one of my favorite restaurants after moving to westlake! The food is high quality and the menu has many options. The portions are big and fairly priced as well. The best part about sangria y tapas though is the service! The employees are so fun, kind, and hard working. They really may the whole experience amazing every single time I dine here! read more

Stopped in at this place on a Friday night with a girl friend. We called ahead to make reservations for 7:30 PM because we didn't know how busy they would be. When we walked in, we noticed the bar was full but there were only a few taken tables. So reservations may not be necessary. Our server was nice, he joked around with us and was in high spirits. The feel inside is a little old, I prefer more modern places but this place was ok as far as decor, but it could use some help. We ordered the spinach dip which was good, there were only 6 little triangles of pita bread and the rest where tortilla chips. I ordered the roasted grape salad which was different. It all tasted good together but the grapes were pickled not roasted. Also, there were onions on the salad which wasn't listed as an ingredient. Overall, it was ok. I would return for their happy hour which is Monday-Friday from 5-7 at the bar, but I don't know if I would return for dinner. read more

A night that happens to start off as just exchanging and returning xmas presents turned into one of the most wonderful meals we have ever had. A typical disagreement on where to eat and what to have was going on when nothing seemed to sound good. Eventually as we were reaching 90 to go home I remembered seeing a restaurant that was called sangria. We both were like okay let's just go with that. Upon entering the restaurant it takes you to the bar area. We are bar people and we were tempted to sit in the bar but decided to ask for a table in the restaurant instead. We were sat at a 2 top. The table had white linen table cloth and was set for 2 with folded napkins and water glasses. Instantly a server came over and poured us Waters. We both looked at each other and was like - this is fancy. We weren't expecting this at all. We decided to order the small pitcher of sangria to start and we were served warm Italian bread with olive oil. We were quite thirsty and our water glasses or sangria for that matter were never empty and always replenished. This instantly made me impressed as wonderful service. We ordered 5 tapas entrees to try: mussels in marinara, spicy potatoes, fried artichokes, chicken skewer and short rib over Asian noodles. The Mussels were some of the best that my boyfriend ever had.. I tried the marinara with bread and holy shit was it good. The short ribs were tender, tasteful and delicious.. literally melt in your mouth.. and the Asian noodles were long and addictive. I really enjoyed the fried artichokes as a palette cleanser in between bites of other food. It had a simple fried crust drizzled with balsamic. The chicken skewer was juicy as well. Now the dish that we couldn't stop eating was the spicy potato's. So easy and simple.. yet so damn good. You need to get those. We saw a table next to us get some dessert and decided to not eat everything as hard as it was and to box it up so we can share a dessert. We got the triple chocolate and of course ordered a Spanish coffee. The table side presentation of the coffee was impressive, fun and blows an regular Irish coffee out of the water. Overall we have put this establishment in our top 5 and can't wait to bring family and friends here to have fun and try new things. Even though the restaurant looks fancy the servers are all down to earth and really want you to enjoy yourselves. This is By far the best service we have ever received. Bravo Sangria Y Tapas. read more

My mom suggested I try this restaurant during my visit home. So, my parents and I came here for tapas for dinner. They definitely draw a crowd and the atmosphere was very lively including music from a talented musician. I started with the signature sangria which was pretty good. For our meal we shared deviled eggs with ham, fried artichokes, chicken skewer, stuffed peppers, shrimp, and the cheese and meat plate. Every item had lots of flavor and was served at perfect temperatures as they were ready instead all at once. We could have probably gotten away with five tapas for three people as we had to take one to go because we were too full. The deviled eggs- were tasty and the ham added a nice saltiness. The fried artichokes were good, but the bed of greens underneath with the walnut dressing was even better. The chicken skewer was flavorful and included a nice variety of vegetables in addition to the chicken. The stuffed peppers were generously stuffed with the sausage on tender peppers and nicely layered with a delicious sauce. The shrimp was lightly marinated with garlic. It was good, but not the most exciting of the options. The cheese and meat plate was much larger than I expected. Every meat and cheese was delicious. I used the bread from the other dishes to enjoy this. We ended the meal with the almond cake which reminded me of an almond tiramisu. It wasn't lacking in yummy almond flavor and was very moist with the perfect amount of caramel drizzle and whipped cream on top. The waiter also brought out shot glasses with a really nice tasting drink for each of us which I think was a dessert wine. It was a nice finishing touch to the meal. I'd definitely recommend this place for a fun dinner out. read more

8 of us went for the wine dinner on Thursday evening. We've been a few times, but Our two friends are regulars. Everything we tasted was fantastic. White asparagus, dates, octopus with this fantastic pickle cocktail sauce to the lovely, veal chop, oxtail and short rib. Everything was paired very well. We ended up buying a case of the Rioja ( pictured) and split amongst the 4 couples. The owner and his staff are exceptional at what they do. We will return for dinner and any other events they may have. Well done. read more

A great gem on the corner of a busy intersection. Great patio despite the roar of I90 traffic! The meals are served with sides family style and large portions of main choice...recommend any of the seafood dishes! The sopa de marisco is absolutely fantastic and I could eat it everyday. The restaurant is family run and service is perfect with attention to detail. The bar is staffed with friendly bartender who knows what you will order before you are ready. Come in anytime and the bar is full of regulars which makes for a fun night of socializing. Recommend dining in this wonderful restaurant in Westlake conveniently located on Detroit road close to the free way read more

Attended today for the first time and what a great experience. The way our host Manuel described the dishes made you want to eat just about everything in the menu. I had the octopus for the first time and it was soo good,!! I will be back to try something new. read more

Last night my sister had reservations here. Our party of 6 got here around 8ish. Omg it was so busy. We were all surprised at how busy it was especially for being later. We got seated right away and they brought out water, bread baskets and olive oil. We looked over the menu for awhile trying to decide what to get. I ended up getting a seafood bisque soup and a wedge salad. One person had a tomato and avocado salad looked so good, and a burger (yes they have burgers here too) everyone got salads, a couple ordered tapas and a couple ordered seafood soups. I didn't get any pics. We were celebrating a bday so I was focused on that. My bisque was really good (not a huge fan of tomato soup) but I ate it. The wedge salad was really good, never had it with thousand island but it works. I tried one of the tapas. It was a bread with onion and greens with I think goat cheese? I don't know but it was tasty. I tried a few pieces of seafood from one of the soups too. Very good. The desserts are very rich. I tried the flan, really yummy and a bite of lemon (forgot the name completely) it is really tart and lemony but good. It's a nice spot for a date night or whatever. They have a bar at the front entrance so getting by all the people at the bar is a bit tricky. I would eat here again. read more

My husband and I joined another couple to dine at this west side restaurant. It was fairly busy when we arrived, but all of the staff was very attentive. I am typically intimidated and disappointed when I see a giant menu like theirs, but was able to decide on several tapas dishes to share. Red sangria: solid, but have had better White sangria: outstanding. I don't typically enjoy white, but this was perfectly peachy and boozy. Bacon wrapped quail: tender, juicy, very flavorful Stuffed peppers: perfect amount of heat, quite tasty. Octopus: tender and delicious. Oddly enjoyed the blue cheese it was topped with. It worked. Ceviche: best I've had in Cleveland. Easily rivaled some of my favorite ceviches I've had in Mexico. High praise, I know. Beef carpaccio: just okay. I prefer a little olive oil drizzle. Came out a bit warm which, to me, was off putting. Finished dinner with complimentary amaretto shots. Nice touch. 5 stars for food and service. 3 stars for decor and dirty bathroom. read more

Un-freakin-believable! I can't remember the last time I had a top to bottom fantastic dining experience. For a girls night out on a Friday evening we met at the bar for their happy hour half priced tasty martinis. We had both amazing bar service and the other patrons at the bar were amusingly entertaining. When it was time for dinner we were seated by a large picture window that overlooked the beautifully gardened patio (closed for being 50 degrees). Here we had the most outstanding, personable, knowledgeable, and over all fun server for the evening. For the table we shared a pitcher of red sangria and it was delicious. We also shared four delightful appetizers: Croquetas san Miguel - lovey honey finish on a ham fritter, Patatas Bravas - wonderfully spicy potatoes, Camarones A La Cancun - shrimp (cocktail) on a spicy salsa, and Alcachofas Tiera Del Fuego - *best of the apps* artichoke breaded and fried then topped with balsamic vinegar. For dinner we got: The evening special of wild boar - fall off the bone tender with rice and vegetables, Pimentos Banana Rellenos - perfectly spiced banana peppers stuffed with Italian sausage, Vieras A Cebon - delightful scallops stuffed with short ribs, and Solomillo A La Strogonoff - crazy delicious filet with mushroom sauce. And to finish the meal they treated us to the traditional shot of Almond liqueur. To repeat, un-freakin-believable! read more

OUTSTANDING PORTUGUESE & SPANISH RESTAURANT My wife and I had an absolutely fabulous lunch here. We started by ordering a flight of wine and it turned out to be 4 full glasses of Spanish red. Yikes! Then we shared 2 tapas items: the Chorizo a la Riojana and the Gambas al Ajillo (shrimps with garlic sauce). Both were outstanding. After that we shared the Paella Valenciana, which proved to be a very large helping, certainly suitable for 2 people. It was exquisite. Everything about this place was 5 stars. The service was impeccable. You may consider this a rave review! read more

Very average food and way overpriced for what it is. Seems to be more locals go here. Excellent service though.

I brought an out of town friend here recently, we were both highly impressed! There's ample indoor seating, however, we chose the equally enticing patio as it was a gorgeous night. Our sole disappointment was the house being out of sake- as we thought the pineapple jalapeno sake sangria sounded wildly interesting. We weren't sad for long- we ordered Calpirnia and the house red sangria- both of which were perfectly crafted and tasty! As for the food, we ordered the Ahi Tuna tower, the octopus (with olive oil and paprika), the salmon carpaccio and the shrimp ceviche. Every single dish was flavorful and aesthetically pleasing. Our water glasses never emptied, and there was a nice basket of fresh bread with olive oil tableside. Every staff member we encountered were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and were happy to give their favourite menu recommendations. I will definitely revisit this wonderful place, and I encourage others to try it as well! read more

I had high expectations given all the raving Yelp reviews. The decor is charming and the servers were nice. Food was decent but I would not call it authentic tapas. Granted I have not had tapas in Spain, but I've had tapas in Los Angeles, San Diego, and New York City. The food here was not on par, and seems to be lacking the Spanish flare. read more

Ok. So, I have been wanting to write a review of this place for years and just haven't gotten around to it, so after eating the other night, here it goes! Our first venture to this restaurant was years ago for a date night. From what I recall, not only was the food excellent but the service was outstanding. Our water and wine glasses were never empty as there was a team of servers taking care of us. The night we went, there was live entertainment, but we haven't seen that the last few times we've gone. They served us a complimentary shot of this sweet almond liquor at the end of the meal while we waited for our table side prepared Spanish Coffee. I highly, highly recommend getting the coff2 at least once. It is quite a production as they light the drink on fire! Very cool. And very pretty. This place soon became our spot that we would go to to celebrate special occasions: internships, job promotions, finishing grad school, etc... We've eaten in the main dining area, the outside patio and even the bar. No matter where you sit, you will have an amazing experience. But our favorite place to dine now has become the bar, and that's because of Marco. Marco, like the rest of the staff, will take great care of you. Marco will treat you like a close friend who has invited you to dine at his home. He's always smiling and always has a story to tell. Ok, so now for the food! Let's begin with the Sangria...no matter what kind you get, the white or red, it's delicious. You can not go wrong with the Sangria. My absolute favorite dish on the tapas menu is the fish tacos. They are the BEST fish tacos I have ever had. There is a generous portion if white fish, but my favorite part is the sweet slaw. We've had the scallops, the many soups, the cheese boards, the chicken skewers, mushroom risotto, pizza, paella, various dinners, veggies...honestly, we've had almost everything, so message me if you have any questions. I truly love this place. read more

The food was good, although my salmon dish was a bit over cooked, the service on the other hand was pretty bad. There was a misunderstanding with my server, Steven. Due to the long wait because of the crowd, he gave us soup and salad, my wife and I only heard salad because he was talking so fast. So, when the soup came to our table, we thought it was made for a different table. Steven came to the table, upset and told my wife and I: "I told you I was getting soup and salad for you, do not make me seem incompetent about my job!" He was very embarrassing and pretty much ignored my wife and I the entire night. He never asked if we enjoyed our meal. He made us feel like we didn't belong there. He nearly ruined our 20th anniversary. If you go to this restaurant, make sure Steven is NOT your server. IF I DECIDE TO GO AGAIN, AND HE COMES TO MY TABLE, I WOULD DEFINITELY LEAVE THE RESTAURANT AND GO ELSEWHERE. read more

Sangria ended up being a pleasant surprise. We stopped here for dinner and enjoyed a delightful meal. We had the roasted grape salad. This was delicious but also super pungent. Loved the concept and ingredients- but maybe it was over dressed? It was definitely unique and I feel like I would order again to give it another try. We had the croquetas- nice touch with honey sauce. We also enjoyed the short rib with Asian noodles- this was good but not amazing. A bit pricey for the portion. The highlight of the meal was the paella. This was a huge portion! Beautiful presentation. It came with soup, which was a nice chicken noodle. I commented that it was the soup you crave when you want good chicken noodle soup that isn't too heavy with ingredients. Went down smooth and very flavorful. Paella was full of meat and seafood and very balanced in flavor. We then shared the almond cake- wow- this was also a real winner. Made in house- treat yourself to this delicious cake! The waitstaff was very attentive and professional and we both felt like it made the dinner feel formal is a good way. We will definitely be back! read more

5 stars if they added a couple vegetarian entree's. Food and service have always been great.

Loved everything about this dining experience! Wanted something a little different but tasty, so we decided to give this a try. It blew my socks off. Loved the menu and variety of choices in both food and wine menus. Started with the hot octopus tapa ($16), and it was the most tender octopus I have ever eaten. I absolutely loved it!! Drenched in olive oil with two toasts, the server even sliced it for me. The octopus melted in my mouth. My friend ordered blood sausage which came with sautéed red peppers and onions ($12), and she loved the flavor which was a tad spicy. For an entre she ordered the grouper special, which was pan seared and covered with fresh mango ($32), and I ordered the garlic shrimp tapa ($16) which was a generously portioned shareable plate filled with savory grilled shrimp. We both had soup: garlic and clam chowder. Both were light and tasty beginnings to a great culinary experience. With a choice of creme brûlée or flan, we opted to share a creamy flan floating in caramelized sugar sauce. Our server, Manuel, aka "El Capitán" guided us through the meal making wine and tapa suggestions. He served me a delicious red Spanish wine and was very informative about how the food was prepared and the menu; he was great! At the end of our meal, he presented us with two after dinner port drinks. Loved Sangria and Tapas and would like to return to try the paella! If you'd like thoughtfully prepared Spanish food, you've got to give Sangria and Tapas a try! read more

Service was amazing. One of the few places in Cleveland that has great octopus. Plus they have seared calamari! Not all crazy breaded. Giddy up! Damn I miss Barcelona. read more

Despicable treatment of a family in mourning that had an event there. Incredibly unrealistic inflated bill. They might have good food, but our experience showed that they will take advantage of any customer at any time. read more

Service was excellent, as were all of our entrees (a stuffed flounder in wine sauce, a chicken breast stuffed with scallops and lobster, and a seafood stew). The real star, though, was the tapas sized grilled pulp (octopus). We are fans, eat it at our island home, and have had it all over Asia-Pacific. This was the best. My life's goal is now to figure out how they prepped it. We will be back, and soon. read more

The last time I had paella was a couple years ago at a Sunday market in London. There was a vendor cooking paella with open fire on the street, using the specialized shallow pan. Ever since then I have not been able to find paella in restaurants in CLE. Until now. As far as I know there is only another restaurant Mallorca that serves paella. it is located downtown with painful parking situation. We came during lunch time. Here's what we ordered: - Tapa: shrimps in garlic sauce: flavorful! Will order again. When we finished the shrimps (but with ample sauce left), the wait staff came to take away the empty plate; I looked at him longingly for 2 seconds, because in my mind I was planning "when they refill the bread basket, I'm going to clean the sauce with the bread; but now this over-helpful dude takes away my sauce!" Good thing I didn't have to cry over lost sauce for too long, because my paella of heaven arrives! - Paella: I dare say it is better than my "London-Street-Vendor Paella"! The short grain rice saturated in just right amount of seafood-saffron gravy. Not greasy. Not too salty. I have no word. It was perfect. The portion is big for lunch. I couldn't finish in one sitting (plus I had the tapa and bread). I wonder how big it'd be for dinner, costing $26. - Flan: It is firm, smooth, with a hint of anise and rum. It is great. Will order again. But I prefer the flan at El Arepazo Y Pupuseria in Fairview Park. The consistency of these two are very similar, but flavor at El Arepazo's is more classy, without anise. I'm a classy kind of gal. - Mariscada on green sauce: I only had one spoon to taste, but my dining buddy, who claimed to be already full, couldn't stop eating it, so eventually overstuff herself and finished all of it. Her comment: "Seafood is very fresh. It is very very good". - Veal Marsala wine sauce Dining buddy said it was good, but he will order my paella next time instead. And he hates seafood! With our orders come with a plate of saffron rice, green steamed garlicky vegetable and chips. With lots of food, we walked away happy. Worth 40 min drive to get here. read more

Delicious food and charming staff- this place is a delight. The octopus was delicious and the red sangria wasn't too sweet. The only complaint I have is that service was a little slow in the lunch hours, but very lovely none the less read more

I chose to give them four stars because the staff here are very personable and helpful. The tapas that my boyfriend and I ordered were outstanding! Their scallops are to die for. However, their octopus tapas that we ordered was gross to say the least. It was still a quality octopus that was served to us though - which is reason for the 4 stars. Also, I found a tiny hair in my food - I removed it and ate around the area. It was gross but I didn't make a big deal about out. We told our waiter and he apologized repeatedly. The manager offered free desserts (which we declined), so he offered us 2 shots on the house. That we accepted :) Overall an awesome restaurant, although pricey! Our lunch came out to be $60! read more
