We came here for our anniversary lunch while we were shopping at Srow, and had a pleasant experience. I walked over first with our dog as my husband was finishing checking out, and we got seated early. They were super accommodating and welcoming. I ordered the Paella Negra (Squid Ink Paella) first as it indicated on the menu that it'll take 25-35 mins to make, then when my husband arrived, we ordered the traditional sliced octopus and a mocktail for myself. The Maracuya mocktail (passion fruit, mandarin soda , lime and mint) was delicious. It's sweet & tart. The traditional octopus was good, with lots of pickled olives flavor so if you're not a fan of olives, this isn't for you. Lastly, the paella was also good. We ordered the size for 2 people, and it was larger than we expected. The rice was cooked perfectly but it lacked the crispy edge that we love so much from paella. However, the flavor was there. They give you a decent amount of seafood. Our favorite was the grilled shrimp. Chef's kiss. read more

Stopped in to try out this nice looking place with great service. The food was almost the same as in Spain, but the big difference was the prices. The high end place was great for special occasions. The place was not crowded and plenty of room for large groups. read more

This was our first time ever going to this restaurant and we wanted to check out the fusion style. We figured we would set up the bar since we had an early dinner at 5 PM. They had such a wide assortment of drinks. It was really nice to see. It was rather hot so we decided to do ceviche and then with food allergies we had to change some of the toppings. Luckily the chef had some red pepper flakes, which worked perfect perfectly with the sour lemon in the ceviche. It was the perfect pairing!! We loved our cocktails, La Mar and then an easy white wine ($13 organic), and as we are getting ready to leave, we decided to use the restroom when we found a speakeasy that was hidden!! So freaking cute and adorable we decided to stay longer!! They had a different bar menu and I'm completely different environment! There was a live DJ and it was very lively! We were served by this very bubbly server. She was adorable and didn't mind our 100 questions about drink drinks! Lol we ended up getting the enchanted and it was delicious so we had two rounds! Lol. The music was so great. We wish there was a dance floor! So we had to head out to the V bar to go dance! Lol. Our Kwik dinner ended up turning into a night and we finally left around midnight! We will definitely be back again!! Amazing first impression of a restaurant! read more

I've been to this restaurant a few times and every time I come I feel like there is something lacking. Food and drinks are decent, but I feel like the service is just okay. I do like the decor and since it's located in Santana Row, there is plenty to do. We ordered the ceviche, empanada, beef skewer and got myself a sangria. The sangria wasn't my favorite and I wish I had ordered the red wine instead. Overall, it's a satisfactory experience. read more

While this spanish/peruvian spot has curb appeal with its stylish and modern aesthetic "form", the "function" of this of this place, in terms of food quality and service consistency, leaves much to be desired. The manchego grilled cheese "sandwich" was cracker-thin and disappointing - you can find a tastier one at a fast food chain. The paella de carne looked decent but lacked flavor depth, with undercooked rice and overcooked meats. Though we were seated immediately, and the busser was efficient and friendly, the rest of our visit suffered from slow, dismissive, and unattentive service. If you're looking for flavorful and delicious paella and great service, I'd suggest trying Telefèric Barcelona. read more

Suspiro is a stylish Spanish restaurant at the south end of Santana Row. The restaurant is nice and clean, but there are opportunities for improvement. We did get seated immediately and the busboy was quick to deliver water and the corn snack. If only the actual server (Jass) was this attentive or helpful, the place would have gotten another star. Unfortunately Jass told us not to talk to the busboy. On every table, there's a medium sized glass container holding a battery powered fake candle. They couldn't be bothered to even turn on the fake candle or put in a container that remotely looked correct. It's like a kid wearing his dad's suit but with a broken clip on tie. It's a microcosm of this place. Jass did not care. Jass walked around the bar near our table dozens of times but it took a long time to come for an appetizer order. The food was eventually delivered but he waited until it was pretty much gone before asking for feedback. We told him it was "just ok" which for any server that cares would be a red flag. Jass didn't care. Jass put the serving spoon on the dirty pot mat which the food runner had to ask us to move so she could put the paella down. Jass doesn't care. The food was mediocre. The bikini trufado is an $18 grilled cheese sandwich with a slice of ham and olives. It's salty but decent. It's also way overpriced. Jass never asked what we thought of it. The paella de carne was large but had many faults. The rice was undercooked and hard. The chicken was dry and tasteless, and the pork was cooked to death. Everything tasted bland and boiled. It took Jass another 15 minutes to come back with the check. It probably would have taken longer if I didn't wave him down. Jass didn't care. I don't remember him even thanking us. Like the poor fake unlit candle, Suspiro has potential but the staff fails to deliver. I doubt I'm going back. Telefèric blows this place away. read more

Came back to try the Paella de Mariscos and Lomo Saltado! I have to say I prefer the Paella de Carne but they were both delicious! The seafood tasted a bit too fishy to me. My favorite meat was the squid. The Lomo Saltado was so good! The fries were crispy and the meat was tender and juicy. The Maracuya mocktail was very refreshing and the perfect level of sweetness! read more

My husband and I came here on a Sunday at 1 PM with a reservation. The restaurant was about 80% empty, which I personally didn't mind. But it did make me wonder why were all the other restaurants in SR were packed while this one had open tables. We were greeted warmly and seated in a lovely shaded outdoor area which was perfect for the 85* day. Here's what we ordered: Ceviche Mixto ($31) - 8/10 - Delicious and refreshing. The seafood had a nice bite and well balanced flavors. The only downside was the chips. Most were soggy upon arrived since they were submerged in the sauce. Wish they had been placed a bit better. They asked if I wanted chips on the side, but didn't mention the extra $6 charge. Luckily, I had seen it on the menu and declined. Croquetas De Pollo ($11) - 6/10 - These were okay. A bit mushier than I expected (I had Porto's Potato Balls in mind!). More of a filler item. I wouldn't order them again. Causa De Cangrejo Y Camaron x2 ($16) - 8/10 The star of the meal! Bold flavors and beautifully presented. However, I wish the staff had explained how to eat it. It looked like a massive one-biter and came with small garnishes (olives, egg, tomato) that seemed intentional but weren't clarified. One server said, "just take one bite" (not physically possible) and another said, "cut it in half." Some guidance would've made the experience better but I'd still return just for this dish. Sangria Roja (charged $16, listed as $10) - 3/10 Too sweet for my taste and the hibiscus was overpowering. Probably a personal preference issue but it's definitely not for me. More importantly, I ordered the Sangria Roja listed at $10 but was charged $16 for Sangria Rose. When I pointed it out, our server Sarai apologized and said I had been given a weekday menu by mistake. However, the menu from the host and their website both listed it as $10. There's no indicated that there's different pricing from weekday/weekend. I think the server was confused. Advice to management: Please be more clear on your prices. Our waitress mentioned that prices had been updated since the menu was printed. The online menu says one thing, the in person menu says another and the final bill has prices that don't match to either? Pro tip to customers: Double check your bill! According to our waitress, the online menu is "100% not up to date," which is surprising given how easy digital updates should be. I expected more consistency and transparency with pricing. Lesson learned. read more

We were a large group celebrating a friends birthday and had a nice time at Suspiro. We thank them for handling the group as best they could despite a bit of chaotic ordering and taking care of the kid in the group, offering a birthday dessert, and taking pics for us! I think we should've gotten a lot of shareables but was difficult with picky eaters. Overall the price was pretty steep for the portion sizes but the flavors were fresh and tasty! The stars were definitely the desserts and the speakeasy in the back ! read more

Came here for a long-awaited girls' night out, and it did not disappoint! The location is super convenient -- right next to the Hatton Parking Garage at the end of Santana Row near the theatre, so parking was easy to find (always a win on Santana Row!). Our waiter was fantastic -- incredibly attentive and checked back with us more than any other place we've been to, which we really appreciated. We ordered a sangria carafe to share and several small plates: * Empanada de Carne -- Very good, flavorful, and satisfying. * Croquetas de Pollo -- So good and creamy, easily one of the best dishes of the night. * Tiradito de Pulpo -- Sliced octopus with olive relish and avocado cream -- very fresh and delicious. * Puerco y Huevo "Bacon & Egg" -- Crispy pork belly with panko-crusted egg and cauliflower purée -- this one was just okay; we probably wouldn't order it again. * Paella de Mariscos -- Shrimp, mussels, squid, and aioli -- one of the best paellas we've had! Tons of seafood, and the aioli kept it moist (unlike the dry paellas we've had at other places). For dessert, we tried both the cheesecake and the chocolate tarte. The cheesecake was very good, but the chocolate tarte was disappointing -- we were expecting something rich and indulgent, but it tasted more like a diet dessert, so it didn't hit the mark. There's also a speakeasy hidden in the back, which we didn't check out this time but definitely want to on a future visit. Overall, we had a great experience and will absolutely be back! Perfect spot for a fun night out with friends. Highly recommend! read more

So happy to have good food options at the Row! I've come to Suspiro several times since it has opened and have always had a great experience. The restaurant is beautiful and open and the decor is top tier. Service has always been great in my experiences and the servers are educated on the menu. Can't go wrong with any of the ceviches here, I've tried almost every one on the menu and the seafood is always fresh and the flavors are balance. Our server recommended us the cheesecake last time and we loved it! I got a side of ice cream with it and it was a perfect way to end our meal. read more

This place was perfect on a warm sunny evening. The ambiance and service were fantastic. They have a great assortment of cocktails (The Suspiro was fantastic!) Definitely order paella early. The ceviche, ribeye, ensalada (beets) were delicious. Unfortunately, the pulpo was overcooked so it came out very tough and the Fritos were also pretty tough. What made it better was the paella fideua that was perfectly cooked. It had squid and mussels that were tender and delicious. I want to come back to try the charcuterie (missed out on the Iberico jamon) and other food on the menu. read more

We came for Mother's Day brunch and it did not disappoint! We brought a dog so we did their patio dining, which was a cute and well decorated area. Unfortunately there is no sunlight that reaches those areas in the morning due to the overcast shade from nearby buildings, so it was quite chilly; however, they turned on heat lamps for us. Everything was well plated, and service was consistently friendly and attentive. Ceviche mixto: very fresh, somewhat small portion and more liquid and chips than actual seafood. But it tasted great. Tortilla de Patatas: well seasoned and simple but delicious, about the size of your hand. It was soft and flaky. French toast: yummy but nothing particularly uniquely good to write about Seafood paella: star of the meal! Generous portions with plenty of seafood, very saucy and flavorful. Everyone loved this dish and it was a good portion to share. We had some leftover paella to take home between the 6 of us after this meal. I'd recommend for a treat yourself kind of place with a good ambiance, but probably won't come regularly for just a casual meal. read more

Hubby took my and baby girl to a nice dinner here. Pulling up gave us true holiday vibes, the strip is lit up and decorated.. too bad its freezing cold. The resturant is very nice and trendy. Also decorated inside and staff was very welcoming. Our server was a guy, didnt catch his name but he was very nice and relatable. My daughter kept waving at him as he would walk by. We ordered- Octopus plate- 8/10 very good and not too chewy, sauce paired well just think it was a bit too charred on some pieces, kinda taste burnt. Pallea negra- 7/10 we opted for no mussels all shrimp. The dish was tasty, i think addition of aioli was nice but a bit much and made it very salty. Baste cheesecake- 10/10 never thought i would love a cheesecake with no crust but this was bomb. Changed the game for me. Would love to come back and try more dishes, i can say it is more of an adult pallette my daughter did not like anything we ordered so had to go out and grab her a bite to eat afterward. read more

Pleasantly surprised with how delicious their dishes are! Very warm and inviting atmosphere with a beautiful bar. Our favorite dishes were the chicken croquettes and the Lomo Saltado. The beef was so tender and their sauce was delicious. I wish it was served with a side of a spicy sauce - we had to ask for that separately, but I felt like an additional sauce would have pulled the fish together. The service was quick and friendly. Would go back again! read more

This one was a hard one to rate! I was a bit disappointed by the food, but loved the ambience. Let me dive a little deeper.. Everything about the location, setting, and decor is great. It's a corner restaurant, inviting outdoor space with plenty of decorative greenery, and a warm yet modern design inside. There's a chic bar located in the middle - made me already want to perhaps come back for a drink with my girlfriends. Service was also really good - very prompt and friendly. Unfortunately, I was not too satisfied with the food.. We ordered: - Sweet potato and shrimp appetizer: it was only okay.. it was very pretty, but it tasted just like the ingredients all put together, not better together - Octopus: also only okay.. I didn't love the olives - Paella negra: I felt like it was too salty, and also, this might be a little contentious, but it was actually a little too al dente for me Overall, I feel like I would come back more for a drink and an appetizer, not necessarily for a meal. read more

We had dinner here recently to celebrate a friend's birthday. Their menu is designed to share dishes - so that's what we did. We had: Gambas Al Ajillo, Patatas Bravas, Mixto Ceviche, Empana de Carne, Mushroom and Asparagus Anticuchos, Croquetas de Jamon, and Lomo Saltado. All of the dishes were delicious - several were recommended by our server - and we were very happy with our selection. The flavors and the creativity were excellent. They took our orders quickly and dishes began arriving soon thereafter. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful and inviting and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience. What a great place to have a celebratory meal. read more

We celebrated a double birthday dinner at Suspiro in Santana Row, and it was such a great experience. We were running late from our spa day, but the staff was incredibly accommodating and welcoming. Our server was so helpful with recommendations since it was our first visit. We ordered a few dishes to share: the meat paella, gambas al ajillo, and the mixto ceviche. The ceviche ended up being our favorite, so fresh and flavorful. We also enjoyed a carafe of the rosé sangria, which was light, refreshing, and perfect for the night. Since we had a double celebration, we were treated with 2 desserts on the house!Overall, a lovely spot for our celebration. read more

Ode to the Midnight Feast On the precipice of the year, we found sanctuary in S. Suspiro. While the clock counted down the old time, we devoured the marriage of the world: the red fire of the pasture and the silver prince of the tide. Surf and Turf, a final, savory embrace of land and sea. And the cocktails-- liquid amber and cold stars, shaken by alchemists to bless our throats and quench our thirst. We toasted the new sun with the taste of the earth on our lips. A delicious farewell. read more

Suspiro is a very nice spot, with ambiance for somewhere in the middle of a casual weekend meal and a nice celebratory dinner. I'm a fan of their extensive drink menu, including the gin & tonic. The staff are understanding and accommodating, and gladly replaced my friend's drink with another when he didn't like his first drink. All the food is pretty good. For appetizers, the fried squid rings were seasoned super nicely and fish ceviche was nice and acidic with tender fish. The squid ink paella pairing very nicely with the bright cream it comes with. read more

Came here to use my Amex Resy benefit. Nice location near Santana Row- you can take a walk after getting too full. My partner and I ordered two appetizers and one paella and got pretty full. Was able to bring half of the paella home. - Ceviche Mixto: Really good. I've never had Peruvian ceviche and the leche de Tigre was something new I was able to try. It made the whole dish stand out so much more compared to regular ceviche. Make sure to get it with the taro chips. - Empanada de Carne: it was okay. Meaty on the inside and flakey breading- but the sauce and flavor didn't really stand out. It's only 2 pcs for one order. - Paella de Mariscos : first bite was great. The rice was perfectly cooked and crusted, but I didn't really get that seafood paella aftertaste compared to other places. The mussels and shrimp were also pretty good but didn't stand out either. Sangria Roja : this one's my favorite. Loved the mix and flavor. Sangria de Cava : citrusy and light read more

We've never been to Suspiro so we tried to make reservations online first, however, no such thing. We arrived around 6:45 pm and it didn't look busy so we walked in. The hostess led us to a table for two next to the window facing the plaza. As soon as we sat down, water arrived as well as a small bowl of roasted corn nuts. Yum! Lucky C was our pleasant waiter. He was attentive and checked in with us every so often, making sure our water glass was full. We decide to try a paella dish (takes 30 min), beef empanadas (I enjoyed this) and salad. We love going to Teleferic and this didn't come close to it, but we enjoyed our dishes. The restaurant is nicely decorated. Their outdoor seating area is nicely done.

First off, I want to shout out Brandon our server! Whoop Whoop! He was an awesome server and very attentive. We came here for our girlfriend's birthday. There were six of us and we made the reservation for 5pm. We all showed up on time and were seated right away. The place inside is very cute and had the perfect lighting for pictures. It wasn't too loud and we could hear each other talk and laugh. A lot of both was going on too. Everything we tried was tasty and we would definitely order again. We all did our homework before coming here and knew which menu items were a must try. It really helped that we shared everything too. I love these ladies because eating, ordering, and sharing is easy with them even with a pescatarian. We brought our own champagne which was great because we drank what we wanted. The corkage fee was a decent price. We did get a rose carafe as well from the restaurant which was yummy! It was very refreshing. Each menu item was unique! read more

This was my first time at Suspiro, and unfortunately, I was not impressed. The food was mostly good. Everything was seasoned well, but nothing felt particularly special. A miss for us was the scallops with green cream dish. The scallops were fishy, not seared properly, and didn't pair well with the sauce. The service was lacking, and our server was inattentive. I think part of it is that they were bartending as well. That said, our water was never refilled at our table, and we struggled to get their attention to order additional items. Additionally, when making a reservation, I indicated that we were celebrating an anniversary, and no one mentioned it. That was disappointing. I hope that others have better experiences here, but I don't think I will be back. read more

The food was ok, nothing super special. I went on the weekend so we were able to try their brunch menu. Got the huevos y carne off the brunch menu and others off the regular menu: beef empanadas, shrimp ceviche, truffle bikini & patatas bravas. The steak & eggs were really basic, not enough flavor in the steak, sauce was a little lacking of flavor too. The patatas bravas had much to improve on, their sauce was bland and the potatoes were not crispy! The bikini, empanadas and ceviche was our favorite because they had flavor and the shrimp tasted super fresh. The restaurant is really cute though but don't think I'll be back. read more

Been meaning to try Suspiro for a while, so decided to drop by for a quick lunch. Was very quiet on a weekday and pretty much empty and I was able to get seated immediately. The ambiance is really modern, spacious, and bright. I loved that the floor to ceiling windows could open up on a nice, warm day. After looking at their lunch menu, I went with the Lomo Saltado con Gnocchi- Beef tenderloin tips, potato gnocchi, snap peas, sweet soy emulsion ($29) and the Pan con Tomate- Toasted focaccia, Campari tomato, EVOO, sea salt ($10). My entree was delicious: the beef was so tender and the sauce was delicious. Gnocchi was bouncy and perfectly chewy. Loved the addition of the snap peas and onions with the dish, would maybe even ask for more veggies next time. Portion was a bit small for the price, but at least it tasted good. I didn't get to try the appetizer because as soon as I saw it, I sent it back. For $10, I didn't anticipate it to look like leftover toast with a dollop of tomato sauce. Disappointing but they were nice about it when I told them I didn't want it anymore. Would definitely return and try their dinner menu. Also curious about their desserts too! read more

Lunch for 2. - Ambiance (5*) Beautiful interior. Very modern. Loved our cozy corner booth. - Service (4*) Friendly and quick. - Ensalada Suspiro, $18 (4*) Good salad. Beautifully plated. Straightforward as salads go. - Ceviche de Camaron, $24 (4*) Beautifully plated. Cool concept with the sorbet. On the menu it's listed as a rocoto sorbet. It seemed more like there were simply hot peppers in the ceviche, with what seemed like a passionfruit sorbet on top. It was a little confusing how to eat it- I ended up using the sorbet individually as a chaser to tamp down the heat from the pepper. The shrimp were all very tender, and I loved the red onion throughout. Interesting concept, which could elevate to 5* if presented a little differently. - Causa de Congrejo y Camaron, $22 (3*) Like everything else, it was plated beautifully. It was difficult to eat without disassembling everything. The purple potatoes were vibrant but themselves could have used a little seasoning. The crab meat could have been better as lump rather than small shreds. The shrimp while billed as tempura didn't seem like tempura batter. Just fried. The overall bite, when I got a little bit of everything, was pretty good. - Pasta y Puerco, $26 (2*) Kind of a confusing dish. Probably shouldn't have ordered it in the first place. Bucatini in a Spanish/ Peruvian place... the meat itself became overcooked sitting in the hot pasta. They should have layered it on top or on the side. The flavors were a bit muddled from all the cream sauce. - Value (3*) There was enough food to feel full, but some portions felt a little light relative to price. - Final Word Mixed bag. Wife dressed super hot, and the ambiance fit her style, so just for that I might go back! Everything is beautiful to look at. And there are some tasty aspects to the dishes, but also something missing as well. Would probably return to try a few more things but also wouldn't miss it otherwise. read more
