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

First time in tonight and we were blown away! Our food was delicious, we ordered 5 different dishes and were impressed with them all. Our bartender, Justin, was super knowledgeable and gave us great service and great drinks. Atmosphere was perfect, especially for a date night.

We will definitely be back.. if you are reading this and have not stopped in, go tonight! You will not regret it! 😁

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, though it would’ve been helpful to have a little more guidance as first-time guests—especially regarding the menu concept and happy hour offerings.

That said, we’re experienced diners and still had a great time navigating the menu on our own. Overall, Spanish River Grill is a gem, and we’re already planning to return for another round of those incredible gambas and a pitcher of sangria.

Fantastic Spanish-inspired food. This is a great place to try if you’re looking for something different than the beachy-fare most of NSB serves. The drinks are great and the owners are friendly. Try the whipped feta and the swordfish skewers?

The simplest tapa is the best, Pan con tomate! And the paella is delicious!

I was looking for a special place to celebrate my friend's birthday. I read lots of reviews before choosing the place. Well, it didn't disappoint us. We ordered 9 tapas- wild mushrooms, patatas, calamari, baked oysters, swordfish, salads, artichokes. Everything tasted so good and fresh. Our service was superb and extremely attentive. Giordana, a bartender/mixologist, made me the best Hugo Spritz. Our birthday girl was happy with my choice. We will be definitely back. I recommend to make a reservation as it is a small place and you might miss it. The atmosphere is also quite spectacular. I enjoyed watching the team working together. Chef Henry seemed not only a great chef but an awesome manager. We need more places like these!

Food was Amazing!!! For starters we ordered Pan con tomato, Pork Belly, Mushrooms with Egg, Patatas Brava and Croquettas. The flavors on all were perfect if I had to choose only 1 from the list it would be hard but probably Croquettas. ENJOY

Calamari was cold and chewy. Swordfish, they asked me how I would like it cooked, I said medium… came out over chard and chewy 😂 why even ask 🤷🏽‍♂️ if your looking for overpriced overcooked seafood, this place is for you!

UPDATE: the fact that my friend left his wallet at this restaurant… the lady looked at his ID, and then looked up His information is an indication of how crazy she is. All because we didn’t tip her waitress enough. So she ran out, forced us to change the tip. Then the next day, the Cook so graciously decided to cuss the people out when they came back to pick up their wallet.

It’s funny how this lady has a mouthful of cussing, but a review response that says God Bless 😂 the irony

The best. Chef Henry never disappoints. Everything is superb. The G&T is my fave drink, soooo refreshing on a warm Florida day!

An absolute fantastic experience at Spanish River Grill! Even though they were under staffed for the day, everything was just as seamless as every other time we have been. The small things, like drinking from the owner’s grandma’s martini glasses, to the delicious deserts and home grown organic tomatoes and fresh ingredients, it is always consistent, delicious, and a place we will return to. Must get the whipped feta and the mushrooms. Thank you for making my birthday dinner an awesome one!
