Spain Restaurant — Restaurant in Cranston

My 15 year old son had to write a report for Spanish Class regarding his experience at Spain.

Here it is:

Food The food was great, definitely would get a 5 out of 5 stars. So for appetizers my family ordered the calamari and shrimp. The two appetizers had a lot in common they both were seafood and they both were fantastic. The calamari was cooked perfectly and the different kinds of peppers gage it a spicy taste that made it phenomenal. The shrimp was as well amazing for different reasons though. The liquid that the shrimp was soaked in was mouth-watering, in fact it was so good that my brothers and I were soaking our bread in it. The bread may seem un-important but with the garlic butter I could've made a meal just off the bread. For my dinner I ordered the veal Spain, and it was veal stuffed with all kind of food such as lobster and even chicken. Although I didn't like the mashed potatoes the veal definitely made up for it. It was cooked perfectly and the crispy edges of the veal made it even better. Going back to the mashed potatoes, the restaurant could've improved them by taking out the potato skins. If the chef would've done this I would've at the mashed potatoes as fast I ate the veal. You can't go out for dinner and not order dessert and this dessert was the icing on a very great dinner. It consisted of three layers, the bottom layer was a warm chocolate cake, the second layer was vanilla ice cream, and that was covered with whip cream and cinnamon. The dessert was a great mixture of the cold ice cream with the warm chocolate cake. I couldn't have asked for better food.

Service The service was just as good as the food if not better. Our waiter was consistently checking on us and asking if we needed anything. Our waiter definitely made sure our dinner was amazing. The bread was so delicious, he refilled it for us three times. When it came time to dessert, he took the time to describe every possible choice there was. The service was fantastic at Spain and couldn't of been better.

Atmosphere The atmosphere of Spain the restaurant was comfortable but with a classy twist. All people there were well dressed along with the waiters and the waterfall gave it a beautiful look. More importantly the restaurant has 2 floors so it could fill many people and because of this we waited 5 minutes to be seated. The chairs were very comfortable and the paintings matched the walls great. The atmosphere may have been one of the most beautiful restaurants I've ever been to.

Overall, my dinner at Spain was unbelievable and I would recommend for anybody who likes good European food and likes to eat at fancy/classy restaurants. I would give Spain a 5...

Updated 8/6/23: I was so happy to finally get a chance to dine in their charming outdoor patio area after driving by so many times! It was a hot day during the day but by 5pm it had cooled down enough to be quite comfortable outside and the patio was mostly in the shade by then (and had canopies even if it wasn't). The outdoor area is beautifully adorned with flowers and foliage and even a small fountain, with string lights overhead. There are outdoor heaters if it had been cooler, but it really was the perfect temperature. The ambiance of the patio was perfectly romantic, and if you turn your head away from any view of the parking lot, you might think you had been transported to Spain for your meal, or at least some place more European than Cranston. :)

The service was spectacular (a rarity these days) and the food was delicious. Our water glass was always full and the crumbs were quickly swept from our table. As in my previous review, the prices are a bit shocking at $46 for a 9oz filet mignon. At this price I considered choosing a different dish, but this has airways been my go-to at Spain and again it didn't disappoint. Apparently we are creatures of habit because my husband got the same dish as he did in my last review: Pollo con Gambas. 3 good size pieces of chicken and 2 large shrimp with sides and a delicious sauce. He took home enough for another meal. The fried calamari we had as an appetizer was very good. The portion was plenty for two people, but wasn't as large as you might expect for the price. I had the Spain Passion Martini instead of my usual red sangria and it was good- a little tartness and dryness when I was expecting it to be more sweet than it was (it was sweet but just not what I had imagined). I was happy to see it was a pretty good size martini glass for $14. The dessert was incredible and like nothing we have ever tried or would have imagined. It was a coconut custard cheesecake with a layer of creme Brule on top and an oreo crust. SO. GOOD. We spent a lot but it was our anniversary and had a gift card to cover some of it so we splurged a bit and fully enjoyed it!

Previous review: Always a delicious meal with excellent service! The filet mignon was delicious, as was the Pollo con Gambas. I always look forward to the sangria here! We were a little disappointed that the prices seem to have increased significantly on many items. Maybe it reflects the market or the loss from covid, but it makes us want to visit only for special occasions. At least the food and service was perfect...

A Taste of Spain in Every Bite!
