You would never have known this restaurant was packed judging from the great service we received. Food and atmosphere were excellent.

After reading reviews of restaurants in Fernandina I made reservations at Espana and had high expectations. But it turned out to be one of the most disappointing dining experiences we've ever had. The atmosphere was pleasant and cozy, they had that going for them. At first I was impressed with the wait staff, there appeared to be a lot of... More

This place was absolutely wonderful. The recommendations by the staff did not disappoint. The paella was wonderful. We celebrated our anniversary dinner there and it was truly one to remember. You have to try the tres leches for dessert. It is probably the best treat we have ever had.

I will NOT recommend this restaurant. We made a reservation on Monday for an outside table. It is raining outside and when I walked in, she noted the only table available was my outside table. Understandably I realized I may have to wait. She was not at all apologetic about the situation, rather smirked that it was our bad fortune.... More

We arrived according to our reservation and were seated promptly with no issues. The service was good, the food was good, but there was nothing special about anything that we encountered either before, during, or after the meal. I really want to say great things about this place, and I really wanted for it to be special, but nothing special... More

We passed by here at 5pm and I wanted to go in to reserve for later in the evening. Being in the middle of the week, my hubby didn't think there would be any trouble getting a table. Wrong! We went at 7pm and had to return at 8:15 and got seated at 8:45. Everybody seemed to enjoy the place... More

We made a reservation at Espana as a result of the TripAdvisor reviews and we were not disappointed! We ordered a few tapas and one entree to split and everything was delicious, especially the shrimp and garlic sauce. The wine list is extensive and the pours are very generous. Definitely make a reservation, they are on OpenTable. The restaurant is... More
