Spain Restaurant and Toma Bar

Great atmosphere and excellent for a night in downtown Tampa. I had the chicken dish with some fantastic sauce and perfectly cooked asparagus. As I looked around the table, I wished I had been more adventurous in my ordering as everything looked delicious. We were there on a show night which was worth much than the $10 cover. Thr music and dancing really made for an atmosphere to transport guests to Spain. The only downfall was we were there with a large group, which the table was easily able to accommodate, but took a very long time for all us to get our checks. Other than that, highly recommend Spain to anyone and I will be going back.

This is a wonderful restaurant!!! The sangria, tapas, service is beyond compare! The owners & their staff make you feel like family. The photography exhibit adorning the walls is delightful. I can't wait to go back to see the Flamenco Dancers!!!

When we were thinking about options to celebrate our wedding, we decided to make a reservation at a local restaurant. We thought about Spain Restaurant because we had our first Valentine’s dinner day there, and we remembered it as a nice experience. Since the first time we called, John, who is one of the owners/managers, was very nice and attentive. We explained to him that we were looking to accommodate a party of about 25 people for our wedding, which was only 3 weeks away. John confirmed they would be happy to reserve the space for us so we scheduled an appointment for the next day. During the meeting John explained in detail what the options were, including the food, beverages menu, and sitting for our guests. We liked these options along with the decorations, ambient and the fact that the restaurant has live music during the weekends, which our guests would enjoy at no extra cost to us. Also worth mentioning the whole cost was within our budget and affordable for what we were getting. One week before our wedding, Florida was hit by hurricane Irma. We thought we were going to have to cancel. After the hurricane passed, we knew we had to check with the restaurant to see if they would still be able to do our reception. Before we contacted them, John called us to let us know everything was still as originally planned and they were ready for our special day. We even called days before to increase the number of guests from 25 to 35 people, and it was not a problem at all. Every time we called with questions or new requests for our reservation, they were super friendly and happy to work with us to make our wedding as special as we wanted it. Our guests had a variety of options to choose from the food menu, and everything was delicious. The sangria and wine were very good too, and the service was phenomenal. During the whole process we felt like all of their attention was centered on us and our wedding, but they actually had another wedding during the same week and were doing the catering for a large event on the same day of our party. We are beyond satisfied to have chosen Spain Restaurant for our wedding celebration and would recommend them for any type of event. Thank you John and the entire Spain restaurant crew!

I got the Paella and it was off the hook! I loved ever bite! Really cool spot right in the heart of downtown Tampa and a great place to stop and eat before a hockey game or concert if you want something a little more high end. Parking is limited but its downtown so parking is always limited. Check it out if you are down there.
