Candela Restaurant

Came here for lunch. Ive never had Spanish cuisine before so I thought this would be a great place to try it, and I was correct. I ordered the Paella de Candela, it was phenomenal. The fish was cooked perfectly and the flavor was amazing! I also had an espresso and Ive been to Italy and I would say it was comparable. Amazing On top of that the owner Armando is an amazing chef and a great host along with his staff. They make you feel welcome and the vibes are great hear. 10/10 you should try it

We had such a fantastic lunch experience at Candela Restaurant! The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. We ordered the paella, and it was absolutely delicious — flavorful, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. With each bite, it felt like we were transported straight to Barcelona! The combination of the ambiance, authentic flavors, and attentive service made this an unforgettable meal. Highly recommended for anyone craving real Spanish cuisine in a friendly, relaxed setting!

The best cuban food, we had lamb shank and stew with sausage, chicken and artichokes - such a rich flavor! We forgot we were in the US, so worth a drive! Great atmosphere and kind service.

We found this amazing place while on vacation in Florida, and honestly I cannot believe how spot on all the reviews are. Truly, a hidden gem indeed. I even told my husband that if we had driven past here we wouldn’t have glanced twice. (I actually thought the reviews might be exaggerating… not at all). My husband mentioned he felt like having Paella, and that’s how I found the restaurant. The attention, the taste, the quality of the ingredients, not a single thing failed to impress us. We got the shrimps, house bread, a special chicken breast with a side of rice for our fussy little 7 year old, garlic shrimps, seafood stew, steak and potatoes… and the desserts, almond tart, house flan. You MUST come and try this place, unmissable.

Candela Restaurant was an amazing experience from start to finish! The food was absolutely delicious — every dish was full of flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care. What truly stood out was the chef personally walking around to every table, making sure everyone was happy and enjoying their meal. That level of attention and hospitality is rare and made the night feel extra special. The atmosphere was elegant yet welcoming, and the service was attentive without being overwhelming. You can really tell this place takes pride in both their food and their guests. Highly recommend — we will definitely be back!
