Grabbing a quick bite at The Spanish Table - carrot cake!
Michael Y.

Me encanta! I felt like it was someone's rustic home or pantry I just entered either in a cute small town or a quaint shop in Spain. I was instantly enchanted and whisked away to the Catalan countryside. PSA: they have the decadent nougats and lovely chocolates from Vicens! They also have small treats to treat yourself or the little ones! Chupa chups! Oh, how I would like to get everything there - the fideos for fideua, arros, wines, cheeses, iberico, ceramics, pans, Spanish sandwiches, drinks, spice mixes, etc - the essentials for cooking! It is also a classy establishment with a whole wall of wine next to which there were connoisseurs conversing on the nuances and subtleties of a particular selection.

Always here on Sunday and service and drinks are perfect. Also a wonderful and lovely selection of wine, oil, and spices. Interior is a little small so it can get crowded but always wonderful to visit.

Note to self: I love the Dandelion semisweet hot chocolate here. Friendly and fast service Love all the little specialty items they have in the store Thank you!

A decent selection of Spanish wines
Lee K.

After returning from travels throughout Spain this spring, I've been missing the food, sights, and people and yearning to return. So, when I happened upon The Spanish Table and discovered their vast selection of tinned seafood, Spanish wines and cheeses, paella ingredients, spices, sweets, cookbooks, and cookware, it was a dream come true. The displays were so captivating, I spent a good hour in the store. I walked out ready to prepare some seafood tapas. Their prices are in line with and sometimes better than what I've seen online from other stores in the US and Canada. So, it's great to have such a good selection for those of us in the Bay Area. For those outside the Bay Area, you can order online.

We love this store. Their paninis are so good and everyone is so very friendly. We definitely feel the love here. After many visits, we finally tried all of their paninis. All delicious and made with quality ingredients, and even though we like them all, our personal favorite is the Moroccan, a vegetarian panini with goat cheese. Yummm. I also love their espresso and tea drinks. Especially like the black tea with saffron. Goes amazing with some of the saltier paninis and ready made bocadillo (sandwich). This is also a store that specializes in food, wine, and cookware from Spain. You want chorizo? They have it. You want Jamon de Iberico, they sell it. Cheeses, yes! They also sell paella pans in various sizes, and ceramic bowls, plates, etc all made in Spain along with lots of other items like chocolates, candies, nuts, spices, etc.

I was walking along Richmond and a block away from the muni stop, I wandered into this store- which was such a treat. I went with my Galician friend (aka friend from Spain) and we had such a wonderful time! This is the only place in the US that I've seen sell jamón ibérico, which was a welcome surprise! The product selection made my friend feel right at home- there was Galician wine and beer. I was also told that the snacks there were just like what my friend would eat growing up. I bought a Galician white wine from there as a gift, and the shop lady made it all wrapped up in a wine bag with red and yellow tissue paper and a red ribbon (to compliment the Spanish flag colors). I had such a wonderful time in this cute little shop and I will 100% be back the second I get a chance. This was such a welcome surprise!

One of the beautiful clay pots that they carry!
Olga M.

The variety of products available in this store is astounding, from giant paella pans to hard to find canned delicacies to big coolers of Spanish cheeses and meats. We come here to buy the Jamon Serrano and the Chorizo Bilbao. Both very difficult items to find elsewhere. The manchego they carry is also wonderful. On this last trip we tried their canned delicacies, muscles and octopus, both were very good. Would also recommend checking out their clay pot selection- reasonably priced and very nice colors! During COVID they have a great system set up online for in store pickup, and it's a very efficient process to pick up once you get to the store. All employees I saw were wearing masks and there was enforcement for customers to wear masks as well. They also limited the number of people in the store and had an employee at the front monitoring this. Thank you to the owners and managers of this location for doing this!

HUGE paella pan
Lori N.

Contemplating making paella at home? If so, this place is a must, as it has the utensils, along with the rice, and even boxed Spanish broth you'll need for your paella. Now when I say utensils, I mean an enormous array of paella pans to select from. You can get a smaller everyday one which would easily feed a family of four, or a jumbo one that would probably feed 75 people, and every size in between. These ginormous ones are the ones I've seen at various farmer's markets that they use while cooking the paella in their booths to sell. I truly haven't seen a selection of paella pans as voluminous as this, anywhere outside of Spain! Prior to learning about this location in SF, I frequented their Mill Valley location. If you enjoy cooking, or just even watching tv shows about cooking, you'll find both locations fun stores to peruse in. Lots of canned and bottled foods from Spain, along with cookware and Spanish ceramics. Having been to both, I prefer this SF location, since it seems larger, but it has been quite a while since I've been to their Mill Valley store. In this SF location, there also a little cafe inside where you can get some Spanish foods. Not a huge selection, but sandwiches are available, along with a couple of high top tables. If you're culinarily Spanish obsessed, you'll definitely want to come here to fill of your obsession!

What are the cross streets or what are the two streets the business is in between?

It's between 2nd and 3rd Avenues (closer to 3rd) next to the Ace hardware.

I even celebrated my birthday here earlier this…read moreyear, so it's really tough to write this review, but I had a pretty bad experience last night. I called a couple of hours beforehand and made a same day reservation for three at 8 p.m. I was amazed they could get us in. The guy who answered the phone was so nice. We arrived right at 8 and were seated on the back patio. Our server took a little while to greet us, but by about 8:15 she showed up and we immediately ordered our salad and entrees. The heirloom tomato salad came out around 8:30 and was great in concept, though a few more pieces of cheese would have made a big difference. Our entrees, two salmon dishes and a medium-rare steak, came out around 9 p.m. We had waited a little too long, especially since the restaurant was not very full at that point. My steak was overdone, so as politely as possible, I sent it back. The server said it wouldn't take long, so I assumed 15 minutes at most. By 9:20, the steak still had not arrived and my family had finished eating. The server came by and said it would be out in another couple of minutes. Another 10 minutes passed, and there was still no steak and no sign of the server. At 9:30, I was so frustrated that I got up to cancel it. I found the server standing near the kitchen talking with other servers, while my steak was just sitting there in the service window. I'm sorry, but I did not come to a restaurant at 8 p.m. to eat my entree at 9:30 or later, after everyone else had already finished. What made it worse was that the server was not apologetic at all. We also ran out of water multiple times throughout the evening. Overall, it felt like the staff, other than the host, just didn't care. Neither the kitchen nor the server. I don't know if it's the no-tip model, but it definitely felt like an authentic European zero-customer-service type of experience. I'm really disappointed, Zazie. I know you can do better.

We visited this past Friday around 5:45pm and were lucky enough to get a table in the back patio right away. The staff was super kind and offer us to upgrade our table after it was cleared off. The back patio was gorgeous it was heartening to see the place so lively given the rough year it's been with COVID. You could also tell this was a spot frequented by locals. We ordered a pitcher of Hazy IPA and 2 tomato Basil empanadas. We were impressed with the reasonable drink prices and selection and loved the free chips and salsa provided to the table. When the empanadas came out they were hot, cheesy and delicious too. I love the cheery environment of Finnegan's Wake and we had an excellent time.

The bar itself in very long, so I can generally find a seat. The drinks are pretty reasonable and the place is not too noisy. The cocktails are ample if not particularly well crafted. One thing that I don't appreciate is that the attitude and service at this place is consistently indifferent, unpolite, and often startlingly rude. I've had service from multiple bartenders here and a sour disposition towards customers seems to be a job requirement here. I want to like this place but the rough attitude of the service staff here is decidedly off-putting.

Upon looking at the menu I was "in" for the SF vibe of the food offerings. Below is what we ate and our rating of the food: Me - smoked salmon on toast w/ baby pickles, capers, and spread. Oh-em-gee-times-ten....I was either REALLY hungry or the dish was THAT good! (it was that good!). The serving was generous and satisfying and was accompanied with salad greens tossed in a vinaigrette dressing. I am salivating as I write this. Son - breakfast burrito. He liked it. It was simple: scrambled eggs, bacon in a spinach tortilla. His young age did not help his appreciation of a green tortilla, so.....he only ate half Daughter - granola, fruit, yogurt parfait. She demolished it and enjoyed every bite. And, even carried her leftovers with her (all day, might I add) and ate them for breakfast in the hotel the next morning. To supplement their meals I ordered a side of toast and roasted potatoes. We ate with gusto! My cappuccino (which I only seem to order when I'm in San Francisco) was delicious and gave me enough energy to walk those hills with ease.

We went down to eighth Street to go to the café a few days ago, on a wonderfully warm day, and as we entered, the hostess said "go ahead and sit anywhere." As we went to the back patio as we have done for over six years now, she rudely interrupted and said "not the patio." We were not sure what she was saying as she had turned away and talked away from us, but we asked if the patio was open. She laughed at us and said "no the patio is not open. You can't sit there. " We said OK well, we'll have to go some other time cause we don't eat indoors. She started laughing at us and said well OK and kept laughing as we exited. As I said, we have been going there for over six years and we always enter the indoors masked and the staff who's worked there for a long time know us as well. This rudeness was really uncalled for and I don't know if I'll go back. It looks like they now take reservations for the patio so I don't understand what's up.

My party of four came without a reservation, so we were seated along the wall against a small countertop area. It wasn't the most comfortable setting for a group hangout.

Between the four of us, we ordered the bread/butter, ceviche, Dungeness crab garlic noodles, and the Wagyu dog to share. We also got a bottle of their Lambrusco. The stars of the show were definitely the wine and the garlic noodles. I wouldn't recommend sharing the Wagyu dog as it got a bit messy. Everything was definitely overpriced, and portions were small. We had to order takeout from another restaurant afterwards to satiate our hunger lol. I'm glad I tried this spot but would only recommend stopping by if you're not very hungry or are just looking for some small snacks before an actual dinner.
