Spanish River Grill & Wine Bar

I’ve been to Spanish River Grille twice now…and somehow my second visit was even better than my first. The first time I went, I shared a few tapas and ended the night with what instantly became one of the best desserts I’ve *ever* tasted — their olive oil cake. I’ve had plenty of olive oil cakes before, but nothing compares to this one. I’ve honestly been dreaming about it ever since. Last night I decided to take myself on a little solo date and went back just for that experience again. There’s something so peaceful about sitting alone with your thoughts, enjoying a good meal, and letting the world quiet down for a moment. I sat at the bar and the bartender was incredibly friendly — the kind of warm, effortless hospitality that makes you feel like you’ve been coming there for years. I o

We had a lovely first visit to Spanish River Grill and were genuinely impressed by the quality of the food and relaxed atmosphere. The sangria was a perfect start—beautifully blended, not overly sweet, and packed with fresh, flavorful fruit. We ventured out of our comfort zone and tried the bottle neck clams and tuna, both prepared in ways we hadn’t experienced before—and we ended up loving them. The calamari was also delicious and perfectly cooked; just a touch of lemon would’ve taken it over the top. But the real standout was the Gambas a la Plancha—I could’ve easily ordered two more. Absolutely divine. The decor is charming and inviting, though the restaurant could benefit from a bit of detailed cleaning as we did notice cobwebs over a few tables. Our server was kind and welcoming, tho

I must say that our server Jill was truly exceptional! The food was absolutely delicious, and the olive oil cake was simply divine.

The tapas were excellent and very fresh. They had the right combinations of sauces. We enjoyed the shishito peppers ( kind of pimientos de padrón), the mushrooms ( excellent) and patatatas bravas. The hangar steak was also done nicely. The olive oil cake was also delicious. The service was excellent! We are going back...want to try some of the Cuban flavors such as the snapper and the fried plantains. Thank you for a great dinner and ambiance!

Loved this restaurant. Located off the beaten path but we just so enjoyed our food, service, and atmosphere inside. Totally enjoyed from start to finish. Most important - these owners genuinely care about the customer experience and pay attention to Quality! The best seafood soup we have ever eaten. The homemade broth absolutely fantastic. The seafood in it, very fresh good quality! Looking forward to going back soon. We moved recently to the area and it’s been a challenge finding good quality restaurants. This is it! Can’t wait to go back.
