España Restaurant & Tapas

This Spanish restaurant is an absolute standout. The seafood paella arrived piping hot and overflowing with bold, rich flavor, every bite was tender, perfectly seasoned, and honestly unforgettable. The warm rolls, friendly service, and cozy atmosphere made the whole experience even better. I grabbed the cheesecake for dessert since they were out of the chocolate cake, and it was creamy and delicious. It was too cold to enjoy the outdoor seating, but it looked amazing for next time. If you’re ever in the area, go!! you won’t regret it.

Delicious!! We got the special appetizers chicken empanadas- very good- it had crunchy texture and flavorful filling. Shrimp ceviche was AMAZING. Pork, chorizo all fantastic. We got the salads to share as well. 5/5!! Our server was very nice and checked on us often. We will come back for sure!

My Husband wanted to try "something different" before leaving Amelia Island, and decided to try Espana Restaurant & Tapas. We were NOT at all disappointed! [Take the time to read the menu ahead as there is plenty to savor.] We had a couple glasses of wine along with the Paella Marinera (seafood). It was so beautiful, that it was almost a shame to dig in. 😁 The entree was set for two, but the portion was enough to take care of a party of 4!!! Thank you so much for a great parting meal 💕 we look forward to our return.💫

This place was more than I could have imagined. My friend had been wanted to go forever, so we decided to give it a try. We had a reservation and were seated immediately. Our waiter, Omar, was the BEST. He started off telling us she specials of the day as well as recommending entrees. We started with empanadas, and they were delicious. I'm not to much a fan of seafood and a lot of the dishes contained some sort of seafood. I chose the spicy shrimp in garlic sauce tapas. Delicious 😋 My friend has the Mariana paella, and the portion was enormous. Definitely made for two. He could not stop raving on how delicious it was. We definitely will be back and hope we get Omar again as our server. The only reason I gave the establishment a 4 on atmosphere is because it was a little noisy, but what mo

This is the ONLY MUST on Amelia Island. Everything we had was impeccable. The Portuguese Fisherman's Stew is heavenly. The Tapas are excellent. The service, the best we have experienced on the island. The price is reasonable for a vacation spot and the price is fantastic for the quality of food. The presentation is also exemplary as is evidenced in the pictures. If you are on Amelia Island and do not come here, you have missed one of, if not the best restaurant on the island.
