The food is good, I would give 4.5 stars bc the service is better than the food and there is an older waiter who does an amazing job singing the bday song if you are celebrating
Delicious food! Beautiful environment and great service and staff!
My husband and i went for dinner and happened to catch ladies night on a Wednesday night. We got half-price drinks and some truly yummy food. Lots of $7 hh options. Loved everything! Wait staff so friendly.
Great place for drinks food they need to work on it bartender is okay ambient is cozy and relaxing prices are average
Very disappointed with the paella. Super dry and tasteless. The salad also meh.The service: its mothers day. The first thing were told as were being seated is that we can stay for up to two hours. Not that we were thinking about staying longer, but who likes to be told how long you can stay for?The same person who made the above comment also had a terrible attitude later. Its possible that it was just her. Dont know.In any case, this wasnt my first time here, but it was my last.
Great Spanish Paellas, even better deserts. Atmosphere is very festive and the Décor makes you feel like you are in a traditional restaurant in Spain. Highly recommended.
I’ve gone to this restaurant for dinner multiple times and have had really enjoyed this place, but we decided to go today for mother’s day for lunch and unfortunately did not have a great experience. When we sat down we were immediately told we could only sit for 2 hours, which was fine, we weren’t plan on staying longer anyway- but it was a weird way to start the lunch. Also there was a brunch menu listed for sundays - but this menu was not available on this day. There was no special Mother’s Day menu, we were told they were only serving dinner. Which was also unexpected but fine, not a huge problem, just slightly disappointing. The food we did order was just ok- the fish my father ordered did not seem right. He got filet of sole and it smelled weird They did deduct his dish from our bill without any questions. Some of the dishes were good. The best dish we did enjoy was the filet mignon, shrimp, and the fries. The salmon was just ok. I was really looking forward to this lunch but it ended up being just ok.
Been here several times and I keep giving it another try and each time is disappointing, they must have changed the chef and the bartender. Service was perfect as always but the food not so good, the paella was watery and smokie burnt the shrimp in green sauce had no taste at all. Samon was slime. The bar we tried several drinks and they had to be redone. Like I said they can have off days but this is the 3rd time I have been there plus there street fairs so I know the quality they used to out out.
Service was impeccable! Adreina our server very attentive and sweet. The bread and olive tapenade was delicious. The paella Valencia was good but it seemed a bit dry. The mushroom with shrimp and crab tapas was delicious. Also the tres leche dessert was superb. I would recommend this restaurant :)
Had dinner with friends. Everyone loved their food. I had the skirt steak, which was seasoned and prepared well. No complaints.
This is one of our favorite restaurants. The food is always so delicious and the folks are always so nice. Our favorite appetizers are the camarones en ajo, pulpo a la parrilla, and scallops wrapped in bacon. And for dinner we split the meat platter usually.
It was my first time. Great food and excellent service. Love the atmosphere. Best place in town for sure. Will be back
I was recently in this restaurant, this is the PLACE that I DO NOT ADVISE TO GO. I ordered a steak that was tasteless and even had some kind of aftertaste, the appearance and condition of the product does not give the expected joy, I also want to note that the fried potato chips also tasted like stale oil, such a taste appears when the oil does not change and potatoes are fried on it many times. This restaurant does not comply with the recommendations and reviews. The food looks and taste definitely not restaurant standard!
First time eating at this restaurant, it was relatively packed inside, the tables are kinda positioned close so it feels a bit crowded. They have a lot of variety of tapas but are missing the iconic pardon peppers. The portions of the tapas are bigger than the traditional ones. The chorizo is not spicy enough, the mussels and the sauce was good, the lamp chops were definitely the best of all the tapas we tried. Finally about the paella: we ordered the seafood one, as you can see from the pictures, the rice is sub par, missing the socarrat which to my opinion is what makes a paella good. The price is relatively inexpensive. The service was fast and respectful. No parking here, but you can park around the neighborhood. Overall, it’s a relatively good place for Spanish oriented food, and not bad considering the menu prices.
Great service, warm atmosphere. I had the seafood paella which for me was just ok the stuffed shrimp and grilled baby lamb chops were very good. The red sangria was on just ok for me. Overall, I would visit again and explore the rest of the menu.
I never going back to this place.The sangria was really bad no enough wine and the paella terrible.After so many years going to this place > I will never go back.
Although the ambience pleasant and the staff was very friendly and the music very nice, the food was only fair unfortunately. I was expecting more as friends had said it was very good. I had the vegetarian paella with string beans and my husband had the chicken with wine sauce. Both were mediocre and under seasoned. The chicken was tough. Had a conversation with the couple next to us who loved their meal, they had seafood and salmon and seem to love it. Maybe we chose poorly. Unfortunately I cannot recommend.
The service was phenomenal, great ambiance, the food was delicious and the live music taking requests amazing. Great experience! I will definitely keep coming back.
We have been here twice now, always great, huge portions and best service around.
We ate here Saturday for the 1st time. Fabulous service! Great vibe. Amazing food. Paellea to die for ... Great Sangria. Which it better be as thats what the restaurant is named. Great desserts. Fun, evening. People of every age group. Pleasant decor, tight tables... I cant stress enough how impressive the staff is. Richard was our server ... Well definitely return soon. Reservations a must ...
Not as good as I thought. Paellas are more rice than meat. I have tried better. Service people is fine but of course Im going for the food. Wouldnt recommend it and wont go back
Good service but the food is horrible. The seafood is frozen tasteless and chewy. Plus it was way too salty. It has a good menu but we will never be back.
Good: good service, good vibes, prices and portions are good.Bad: compared to other Spanish places like boqueria, this taste just okay. The paella had no depth of flavor, no crust on the bottom, very dry rice, and very very dry chicken, stringy.
I don’t usually write reviews, but after what I saw I have to. Last Saturday me and my family went here for dinner and I got a paella. In the paella was the biggest bug I’ve ever seen in my food. It was like a big beetle and I was so disgusted. Please check your food thoroughly. I don’t plan on coming back here.
Two of our three brunches were cold. The waffles were clearly cheap frozen waffles and the other breakfast was missing an egg. Dont bother with the bottomless brunch drinks, its too hard to get their attention for a refill.I had heard such good things...
My wife and I frequent both the Commack and Williston Park locations and both are great. Both food and service is top notch. A few years back I also did a home party with their paella pan in my back yard and that was amazing.Just this weekend I did a 40th anniversary party at my business in Queens and had Sangria 71 do the outdoor paella pan and my customers were delighted. We bought paella and sangria for 100 people and easily fed a nice tasting portion to about 250 of my customers. The owner Jose and his assistant were incredible and professional. If you have a business, corporate or family and friends event, I 100% recommend Sangria 71. Youll make a big impression on your customers.Steven R, OwnerTurnpike Comfort FootwearFlushing, NY
Food and service (Jose for us) was amazing, the pulpo is a must, and the waiter who sings Happy Birthday is a blessed voice!!!
Amazing ! Love the attention the guys were checking on us all the time.The food has a lot of flavor in every plate even the bread and the olive oil but the paella is our favorite and the dessert is amazin !
The food was great; the tapas portions were large so you only need to get 2 per person. The sangria is fresh and delicious! I am looking forward to my next visit :)
The ambiance of this location A+...the attentiveness of the staff (Manager, bus boys and waiter) A++ and the food was oh so delicious. I had the mussels in garlic sauce to start yum and their bread was fresh and warm. For our entree we had the salmon with saffron rice and branzino with string beans. Everything was absolutely lovely. Definitely adding to my list of places!! I decided to add a dessert YUM
Great place got here for lunch really good time enjoy the food and drinks clean place service very attentiveNext time will try for drinks and maybe dinner but so far so good.
Very cozy decor and atmosphere. The food was great. Friendly efficient service.
I like dining here after my 1st experience. The staff was great with my family and I. The service seem to be driven by reservations, so I highly recommend you make a reservation or call for availability to ensure smooth entry.The food was great and is clearly made from some of the best and freshest ingredients. I enjoyed every dish set before us. I also enjoyed the many varieties of tapas that was available on the menu.I highly recommend trying the sangrias as they are made just perfectly crisp and refreshing. After trying the sangria you will then understand why the name was inspired by it.
Great atmosphere and very tasty food, the staff was wonderful and friendly.
Excellent Food!! Great Service! Definitely Going Back Soon...
Delicious real food and excellent service! Will definitely be back again!
Came here for my gfs birthday services was very good. Food was tasty. My drink which it was mango Margarita was good, however the rest of my friends didnt really liked their drink. Price was average. Atmosphere was very relaxing, I will come back here again.
This is my best friend and mines go to tapas place. We get everything they offer and their regular red sangria is always our favorite. We love the bacon wrapped dates the most.
Great lunch special! Great service and background music. Love the decor and will definitely be back
Amazing food!!!!! Perfect setting to go on a first date, family dinner, night out with friends or even to throw a party for any occasion. Staff was friendly and the atmosphere was clean and welcoming. Definitely worth stopping by!
Tried two rounds of Sangria sampler, everything was overly sweetened and not enjoyable. Move on to the paella, I swear they didn’t season the food. Shrimp was dry and rice was very bland. For a place called Sangria 71, you would think it would get something right.
Amazing place and our waiter was the absolute best. In a place that is dishonest, he was honest when we gave extra money and also finding my cousin wallet. Love how attentive he was to our table. The absolute best!!!
Great place to get a authentic feeling of what its like to be in Spain. The Tapas are great, they have many, that main dishes are also excellent. You can eat at the bar and watch the game or sit in the dinning room. It is a little pricey, but Im a firm believer of you get what you pay for. Worth the visit.
A/C wasnt working, so it got a little warm inside. There was a fan, but we were not able to feel it. Food was ok. I was trying to like it more, but just wanted to leave because of the heat. Overall it is a nice neighborhood eatery, but not for me anymore. It used to be better. A little pricey for what it is. If they drop their prices by 15% to 20%, I would say then it may be worth going there.
Food and service was amazing, we are looking forward to going back soon
Our favorite place for birthday celebration, food is always good 😊
Been coming to this place for over 3 years . The sevice is great. Food is excellent and the owner is hands on. I highly recommend this place. Just went in Jan and yesterday. Have to say I was a disappointed with the food. Ordered the pulpo gallego it was full of fat and wasnt clean properly. The camarones pil pil were overcooked. Never had an issue until now.
Great food. Service was wonderful- highly recommend!
Great food. Johnny the dessert waiter sings! Hes very entertaining!
They are very nice. We had reservations for 6pm and a few in our party came an hour late, but they didnt rush ilus at all.
Instagram: @andiamoadventureFun place! 2nd time here! If tapas were our favorite food, I’d probably give this place 5/5 stars. Not my personal favorite so it’s hard to be a judge, but we were really happy with this experience! We went before 7 and got the Happy Hour special! Sangria was delicious and fun, we ended up getting a second pitcher. We got several tapas including: guac and chips (loved), shrimp(highly liked), artichoke hearts (not my fav), muscles (liked a lot), side salad (liked), and this absolutely mouth watering phenomenal filet mignon in mushroom sauce which we all agreed is the best filet mignon we ever had in our life. We felt the filet mignon was even better than 5 star steak houses. Their filet mignon mushroom sauce dish is by far the most delicious thing on their menu- WOW! 😍We decided that when we come back, we will be coming back for Happy Hour sangria pitchers, guac and chips, and that mushroom filet mignon😍!Also the bread was delicious. We kept ordered more bread for the table. They gave us two types: a soft Italian bread and then a rustic sourdough. Both were delicious and great for dipping in the garlic oil served with it!Yum yum yum! Very pleased. ☺️
HORRIBLE!! How you put a deposit to reserve a table and say you can’t sit in your table. Say we can’t sit till all our guests are there and say we should be on time but yet still wouldn’t let us sit without everyone here, like huh????? Makes no sense. If it was a simple reservation then okay but Your putting money Down to save your spot and not give it away. DONT GO HERE
Loved it.. food was delicious and service was outstanding
Great attention la paella was great and the sangria .....
My first time there on a Sunday night and I was impressed. The service was excellent. The Paella 🥘 was delicious and the drinks were really good. I would recommend this place.
They finally started outdoor dining. Very nice set up. Take out is great value also. Seafood paella is full of seafood! Good amount! Come with salad. Grill octopus is delicious!
Who doesn’t love a brunch. Sangria does brunch with a Spanish twist. Highly recommend if you like brunch without the loud city ambiance.
I’m from Spain and in the 15 years I’ve lived in NY I have never had such authentic Spanish food like I had here. I gave up trying years ago but a friend kept pushing me to try Sangria 71 and I’m so glad I did! The ham and chicken croquetas are exactly like my mom’s croquetas which I’ve missed dearly all this time. Enough said.
Its a very quaint restaurant. If your looking for a nice night out with your significant other without breaking the bank. The food was very delicious and very hot when it got to our table. The staff was also very courteous and attentive so you wont be disappointed. I have been to Spain many times and the food is very close to real authentic typical Spanish food.
Yummy tapas. All tables are well spaced out and distanced. Ibfelt comfortable eating in there. Food was delicious. We had pollo con arroz and was flavorful and a lil saucy, mussels w garlic sauce but i think i would prefer the other sauce on the menu more. Grilled octopus was good.
Service and food were great. They even had my favorite zero alcohol beer!
The food was good, the shrimp in green sauce had more onions than parsley. Very few dessert choices available from the menu.
I went here for Valentine’s Day. Great customer service, delicious food and good atmosphere. I would go again and I would recommend this place to friends and family. I had the chicken sangria which was pretty good and I would recommend the passion fruit sangria for the drink.
Went here once and sat at the bar and just had sangria. That was a 5 star experience. The sangria is awesome, reasonably priced, and the bartender was amazing - friendly, attentive (but not hovering), and accommodating.Unfortunately our second trip in the dining area was probably a 2 star experience. It was early for dinner, so maybe they just werent on their game but service was unbelievably slow. We wanted a second pitcher of sangria while eating and our waiter was nowhere to be found. We waited for 20 minutes after we had finished our food and then flagged down a bus boy for our check and left without the second pitcher. Food was good, not great, and empanadas were a bit overpriced. Not worth dealing with the service.Overall we definitely plan to go back to the bar, but probably wont return to the dining area any time soon.UPDATE: Went back again and just went to the bar. We were there on Tuesday (I think) when you can get paella for two and a pitcher of sangria for $50. Great deal and the paella was super good. The bar apparently is where its at.
Just isnt what it was. Had 2 paellas, meat & seafood. Neither up to par, soups both mediocre. Only really good thing was the sangria.
Great tasting food. Excellent sangria, hot bread and great wait staff. Seafood is always fresh and tasty. Over the years we have tried many of their dishes and none have disappointed. Best lamb chops too. Our favorite restaurant.
I simply enjoy their food. I always get fantastic customer service there. The place is clean and the employees are always very kind. Will come visit again.
Great service and Tapas were excellent. Delicious Sangria makes for a perfect night. This may become my new go-to place , really a very good restaurant with great choices.
Good food, good service, great ambience. Family friendly. Must go for birthday dinner... The restaurant greeting is awesome.
Great selection for both tapas and full dinners. Best tapas Ive ever had. Bring friends to share the tapas for a wide range of meats, seafood, and vegetarian dishes. Wide selection of entrees. Something for every taste and all good. Staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without being overbearing. Waiters and owner will talk to about choices and make good recommendations based on what your tastes are. Ill go back again and again.
I ordered the Meat Paella,yesterday....ti take home.Flavor is very good. However neats are stale.eirher leftovers or mit Fresh..too bad
Excellent tapas, excellent sangria excellent paella. Been coming here for years, you really cant go wrong with anything on the menu. Get the datiles!
Stopped by for Fathers Day and place is nicely decorated and staff are friendly. Had the paella for 2, which was a generous portion and appetizers were very good. Everyone in the restaurant had a sangria so I tried one and was glad I did. Ive had better paella from West coast but this was a close second and definitely coming back. Family friendly atmosphere with good food and a sangria what else could be better.
Had an event here today and I must say, everything was great, from service, food and location. Great waiter staff, very attentive. Food is always fantastic and flavorful. We frequent it for dinner or lunch, but our event was great. Thanks to all for handling it well. Prices are reasonable for the great food.
Liked the food ,good quality and staff was great. Management to take care of cleanliness a bit more. Overall a pleasant experience .
This was the first time going last night. The service and food was very good. They have outdoor seating which is nice but the mosquitoes are ridiculous there! Within 20 minutes I killed 2 with no blood. We always carry bug spray, and in the middle of dinner I ran to my car to spray myself. I later found out they keep bug spray there for customers as they know how bad it is. The family before us even sprayed before they came to the restaurant. They need to spray that darn yard! Call freakin Mosquito Joe or something!!! The only bug zapper there doesn’t even work, it isn’t even on! If I go back, I’ll make sure to sit inside. I got 4 mosquito bites and I’m allergic so they swell up like a grape. The first Moscow mule drink was good, the second one sobered me up with no alcohol.
First time trying brunch. Waited almost 40 minutes for the food which was cold. Service was not good. Very disappointing.
This restaurant is great. Food is delicious, the staff is knowledgeable and nice at all times. We enjoy going there!
Great friendly restaurant for family or just by yourself. Greatest service and the tapas are to die for. The dessert portions were so delicious and large that I will wait until next year to eat more sweets. You must eat at this restaurant. If you dont you are missing a true treat.
Very fancy and nice. Came for my husbands birthday party and I enjoyed the experience. The food is very tasty ! Worth it :)
I seriously advise you not to visit this place while on the pandemic! I saw their page running mentioning the patio was now available for dinning. I called and asked if patio was open and available and the women I spoke to said yes. I made reservations for a table of 12 when we got there they wanted to put us outside on the sidewalk which is fine if we had made that reservation but we didn’t since I have a 4 yr old and don’t feel comfortable having him dine on the side walk since we are too close to the street. We asked to speak to the manager and he said nothing could be done. Very sad that as a manger this was what he said and did nothing to try to accommodate us. Very sad because I had invites that I wanted them to have a great experience with Sangria 71 but it was horrible. Very disappointed with this manager and he tried to blame the hostess for making a mistake like this while making the reservation. If she didn’t have accurate information on making reservation than she shouldn’t had been put to make reservations.
Portions were very small. Food quality was good but value was poor.
The food was not that great. The service was ok. The restaurant was clean. The drinks were very light in alcohol. The prices were very reasonable. There was nothing special about the restaurant. I will not be going again.
Really good Spanish food. Priced right and consistently on point. Service professional without being overbearing . Paella is really authentic and their lobster special is great especially if you get them stuffed. Also dont forget the sangria.
Food, service, drinks & wine-all top notch here. Had a wonderful dinner with amazing selections. Cold mussel appetizer was great. Paella was awesome and cooked to perfection. Will definitely go back!
The food and atmosphere are great. They serve traditional continental Spanish cusine and offer a wide variety of selections. They also offer complete lunch special during the week.The staff there is very cordial.They also have a party room for hosting events so we chose to host our daughters bridal shower there.
Excellent. Great tapas appetizers. Paella for two was main course. Had to take some home. Get the sangria with fruit. Attentive service and reasonable priced. Nice people and atmosphere.
There is absolutely nothing to recommend here. I am shocked they have a good review. Maybe there are no good tapas restaurants around there and so there is nowhere to compare this place to. The staff are good, the problem is the experienceThe setting is not good. Cramped with small tables that leave you so little room you have to always worry about hitting the people on the next table in the face.Tapas was bad. Fried calamari like you would get in a cheap bar, fried in low quality oil. Grilled octopus tasted like rubber in engine oil.The paella, well, the portions are big (who wants to eat it anyways?). Badd rice, food coloring instead of saffron, cooked all wrong. The chef must not have ever had tried a traditional paella or any good variants of it. This was not paella. It was colored rice with some seafood thrown on it.I gave them a last chance to see if they had anything to offer as of desert. When the chocolate souffle turned out to be store-bought sponge chocolate muffin with chocolate syrup on top and a scoop of generic ice cream I was completely convinced that people running this restaurant have no idea about fine dining. Nice people. Just terrible food.Like I said, they only way I can make sense of an over 4 star rating is that all restaurants of this type in Nassau county must just be so horrible that this one looks good, comparatively!I dont know maybe they can make decent stake or cutlet or something. I didnt try.By the way, the salad was edible and the starter olive oil was not bad (the bread that came with was bad). I thought I should mention that to be fair.Again, nice people. Only this is fast food quality dining even a two star in my book.A look at the chocolate souffle picture in the review just before me should rest my case for a trained eye.
A few months back my husband and I went to the Island Park location and vowed to come back. So I was so happy to find this location so close to home and heres how it went.....The one star is for the Server (Liz) who was sweet but a bit overwhelmed for a Friday night . We ordered 2 of their specialty drinks which were so bad we sent them back (Ive never done that before) and ordered completely different drinks. Since the drinks started off so bad we were concerned about the food. So we only ordered appetizers while waiting for our new drinks which were just as bad as the last. Needless to say we were correct about the appetizers. So we got the check and ditched it all. $$ downthedrain.
Great service. Very friendly as well. Food was good. A little different but was good.
Excellent service (men cannot wear hats though). We primarily order the tapas. The drinks and food are excellent. The make mixed drinks out of their sangria. We have been twice and we will definitely return. It is a small space. I dont recommend bringing small children. Its nice for a romantic dinner.
Very good food. Dont think its overpriced. Family of 5 ate for less than $250. Both Paella Valencia and Marinera were delicious. Service was fantastic! Celebrated a birthday there, very friendly, nice ambiance. I would definitely recommend!!
The paella for two was delicious and plenty.Drinks were nicely prepared and the tapas was tasty.I suggest the baby lamb ribs.
Just found this amazing spot located in Williston Park. The menu offers lots of typical Spanish dishes, but by far the most impressive offerings are in their Tapas selections. I had some of the best calamari Ive ever had, and I almost decided to skip my main course just because so many of the tapas choices looked amazing. I will definitely be going back, and I highly recommend this location.
Same everything here nothing new the food and drinks have not improvedI come here once in a while to see but nothing with the location and the side of this restaurant bar they should come with new ideas to bring new customers but thats my opinion for some people if is not broken dont touch it
Excellent effecient service, delicious paellas.
If I cant go to the ocean to catch my own fish I go here 4 amazing seafood platter. The Spanish food mixed with the generous servings of sangria is enough 2 keep my husband and I in this restaurant for hours. But the alabaster bar is the coziest warmest venue in our neighborhood. Monday nights are my favorite for a few bucks more at a lobster to your seafood platter. I am a martini girl, and I have yet to be disappointed!
Made a reservation for Valentines day with my husband. Food was excellent atmosphere and staff was very nice. Parking wasnt too bad there is a municipal lot on the corner.
Had date night here with my husband. Food, service, and ambience were excellent. We enjoyed our meal on the back patio. I highly recommend the grilled octopus and paella.
I went to this place after hearing great reviews from a friend. My experience was horrible. I went to this place whilst having a babysitter for an 18 month old daughter. We came at 5:30 and the server said an option was to wait at the bar; order Sri is and wait until about 6:00 and a table would be ready. I said sure. My wife and I waited till 6:20 u til I went back and asked if we were forgotten. The hostess said a table will be opening up momentarily; to wait 5 mins or so. I had to be home soon in order for our daughter to sleep. I said sure. But more time passed. It was now around 6:45 when I decided we had to start leaving in order to get our daughter to sleep and relieve the babysitter of her duties. We ordered 3 beers and a bottle of wine at the bar at this point and stilll didn’t have a table. This was the 1st time in almost 2 years where my wife and I had a chance to go out alone. We weren’t able to eat a nice meal. And waited and waited and WAITED. Our night was ruined. We ended up going to the king Mullen next door to get food...very romantic. The bar tender and especially the (maybe bar back?) were so pleasant and kind. But the overall experience of the wait and ruined night was horrible. I’m very disappointed. Here’s just my 2 cents. What a waste of a babysitter and night out with my wife.
Love doing Tapis dinning, you can have a little of this and that and just really enjoy.I have not been their in a few years until last night. I will say service was great, food spectacular, i will be going again soon.
~our servers was great... food is a little too salty... portions were sufficient, the five star is for our servers... less salt would be nice... the calamari was the best... drinks needed a little more touch... I ordered don julio, I am sure it wasnt it... not the same taste... I am a bartender... I know my drinks... please do better with your drinks... kudos to the servers...
The food was great!!! Definitely recommend. Street parking. They do have valet. Not sure if this service is offered every night. The waiters are friendly. Family friendly restaurant, while it sets the ambiance for a great date night.
Food was amazing -- love all the tapas especially the empanadas and the patatas bravas. Paella is flavorful and the Sangria is the best you can get. Always have a great time here!
I was looking for a seafood place and this restaurant had a great selection of seafood. It was a very tasty meal. The seafood paiella is a definite choice. Be warned, you get a lot of rice! Got 4 stars because parking is not easy sometimes and in cold or wet weather you may be walking a couple of blocks.
Ive heard wonderful things about Sangria 71 so I made reservations for two on Saturday night. Reservations are recommended, the restaurant filled up quickly after 6pm. Bread and flavor oil is served, so is a salad, nicely dressed. We opted for two glasses of sangria instead of a pitcher. They were big. We had the stuffed mushrooms and shrimp tapas. They came out quickly and very hot. The paella valenciana for two was delicious.... clams, mussels, chorizo, shrimp... So good. We did not finish so I had enough room for dessert which was flan. Very good. The staff was great, our waiter was terrific. Sangria 71 is definitely a local and not so local gem.
Always happy going back to work. 😊 Lunch special is $15. I had a HUGE glass of Sangria🍷, Salad (soup is other option), and one of many delicious $13 entrees 🍽 (up charge on entrees over $13). My wife had dessert 🍮 for an extra $1 (Flan or ice cream) Shes not a cheap date. 😂 Octavio, our server, took excellent care of us.
Good for formal setting. Spanish style food with a decent selection of tapas. The dates wrapped in bacon are a personal favorite along with the octopus. Patatas bravas actually have a light kick to it, unlike other spanish restaurants that barely put any heat into it. The sangria is a no brainer with a decent selection. Although they have a decent selection of top shelf liquors, their cocktails could use a little help. I had the old fashioned while waiting for the tapas and I cant say I was impressed. It tasted like bourbon (which is how I prefer it) with triple sec and water. Lacked that sweet and angostura bitters I like in the after taste. Overall pleasant and great to go to for tapas, and their mains are typical of most spanish dishes. We were charged gratuity when given the check even though it was only four of us. Parking could be difficult, but I was lucky to get a spot right in front, so I guess it could be hit or miss. Cheers
They have good lunch deals, but the quality and presentation of the food were lacking. I would be willing to try dinner service to compare.
First time coming here and the paella was ok. Didnt taste like Spanish Paella I was a little disappointed in that, the waiter was polite and on top of everything. Appetizer was better than the main dish. Dessert was good and the sangria. The bar was well put together but the staff was rude to my fiancé because she left $4 tip for 2 beers. I would expect for you to at least not speak Spanish and complain about the tipi front of us. I spent a good amount on food and two beers is nothing. I have to still find a place to try good Paella like back home.
I have ulcerative colitis and still found amazing options that were extremely tasty
Tonight I had reservations for 9 people at 630 on Saturday in island park for my boyfriends moms birthday. Island park is closed on Tuesday’ so my boyfriend called Williston park and the girl on the phone reassured us that our reservation was booked and We didn’t need to call back to confirm. We get there and no reservation was booked ! The manager at both places didn’t even say sorry and didn’t make the situation right at all. His family drove over an hour away and they did nothing abt this. Didn’t call back when they said they would. So they never gave us a table .no complimentary dinner for the future Panz Foods good but the management is terrible . Will never go back there again.
Food and service were great. Friendly servers!
Food is amazing! Fresh and very delicious! They have a good music and very nice staff! This restaurant has a lunch menu with surprising prices for such a good quality of food and European type restaurant. ❤️
Best Sangria ever. Usually restaurants make sangria juice or even sangria water, but Sangria 71 makes real sangria and delicious too. The service and food were good and authentic. Most waiters are Spaniards and background music is too. I wonder if they ever have live Spanish music? Overall, we loved it. Great for a date night or family dinner.
Good Service, mediocre at best food. Came here with a friend who recommended the place. I should have listened to my father who told me to stay away. Of course, he was right. Service was good because my friend knew the guy working - however, the food was pure doo doo. The baked clams were the worst clams Ive had over 10 years of dining. The stuffing was hardened on a little neck clam and topped off with a strip of undercooked bacon. I couldnt even pick it up w my fork. Terrible. Lamb chops were asked toBe cooked medium rare and half were on the more done rather than medium rare to its perfection. String beans werent crispy or tasty but most likely microwaved. $30 full pitcher of sangria was tasty, but I thought I paid for the alcoholic part of the beverage. The sangria was simply water, ice, and a HINT of wine. I could have gave this whole pitcher to a baby, and it would have been sober.Verdict: 2 stars for good service. Food was mediocre and wasnt worth the price. I wouldHave felt guilty if I spent a penny more on dessert. Plenty of other good places (but make sure you DONT go next door to BBG.)
Wanted to visit Spanish restaurant and all liked it
Food was delicious. The grilled octopus is recommended and the paella was incredible. The sangria was OK. Service was great. Definitely coming back in the future.
The service was phenomenal, great ambiance, the food was delicious and the live music taking requests amazing. Great experience! I will definitely keep coming back.
Awesome food. Great ambience. 5 stars
Food is good workers work really hard
Great food and nice attentive staff. Clean restaurant too.
Absolutely delicious food, but service was not that great.
The food was pretty damn good. Overpriced but good, you pay for the ambiance and quality. However the front desk lady gives off the vibe that if youre not a regular, you need to get used to how the regulars do things. I may return, but not any time soon.The waiters have their process down pat, very attentive.
We love this place... our away from home. I asked for the wrong temperature on my meat and got an entire new plate as a replacement. Food is amazing, ambiance is perfect.... you cant go wrong.
Love this place! Come by for some amazing tapas and Sangria!
Horrible service, terrible all around. Not recommend at all.
Very disappointed with this restaurant!!! I called yesterday to see what time the lunch special ended. I was told 3 pm. I went today for my mom’s birthday!! I left my home right after I got home from work & drive over 20 mins in dense fog @ made it there by 2:50. I went into the restaurant and was told they were no longer serving lunch despite getting there before 3! I could see if I came after that time, but being I got there before 3 they only offered a regular menu! The whole reason I traveled to go to this restaurant was for the lunch special! Any other normal restaurant would have given the lunch menu! Anyhow, that being I walked right out & despite wanting to eat @ this restaurant for some time I will never return to eat the food!!
Super professional and high quality service. Love the mariscada. Their Sangria is the best around. The lunch special is a fine value - I love the garlic soup and the flan. I go back frequently.
One of our favorite places great service and treatment. My wife and I came tonight with another couple and had tapas. Everything was so delicious. And Nanolo the manager as usual making us feel like we are home.
Seafood in then paella wasnt good, sangria was okay, the chocolate souffle was just a regular lava cake but the service was excellent. We had a lovely waiter.
Very good food, excellent service. Very fairly priced.Great vibe....A really nice place!Very glad we tried it, and well be back soon!
Absolutely outstanding. The paella Valencia was superb. Our server, Jonathan, was almost as good as the sangria.Overall a wonderful evening.
Had a delicious dinner here last night. Food was outstanding and the service was just the right amount of attentive. Despite neglecting to tell the server I was there to celebrate a birthday, they remembered that I mentioned this when calling in the reservation and brought over a slice of cake with candles-- very thoughtful!!l
I went with my husband on Valentines day I was told no walk ins no. So I went to my car then I car and called I was told only sitting at the bar or high tables. Why wasnt I offered that when I walked in just saying. I trying to say to the race card I truly hope not.
Staff members are very friendly, service is provided in a very professional way. Presentation and food flavor is agreeable to the palate. Variety of plates will allow you to enjoy a great meal.
I rarely write reviews for restaurants, but I felt compelled to write one for sangria 71. The customer service is fantastic and should be recognized. I had dinner in the dining room and the waiters are so attentive. Theres always someone walking the room checking in and whenever they arent busy with tables you can tell they post up and watch the room and jump whenever they see you need something. I moved the tapas tower over and someone came right away to take it out of the way, I just finished my last sip of sangria and there was my waiter right there ready to pour my next glass. Very impressive and for that alone Ill be back. Good job guys !
I got the family special paella for my moms birthday amazing so delicious and great price the order was ready on time and staff was super nice ...will definitely go back
First time and food and sangria was delicious. If I have to list a complaint, it would be that I felt rushed through the meal. Not sure if it was that they needed the table or if thats how they are in general. Will definitely go back but hope we can linger a bit longer.
Paella is what we ordered, lots of it. The portions are huge and you will be pleased with the amount of seafood. Family style and fun. Makes a great place to celebrate.
Food is ok. We had a reservation and we were two minutes late, they said we will have to wait till a table opens. Service at front seem a bit rude and uncalled for.
Good value for lunch. Food can use better seasoning. Good service but espresso machine was not working. Bar looked great to watch soccer games.
Went to Sangria 71 last night and was very disappointed. The tapas at the start of the meal were mediocre at best - for example the patatas brava were mushy and had way too much sauce, we left 2/3 of the plate. Carne empanadas were okay, meatballs lacked any real flavor. We ordered the paella de carne for 1 and the portion was huge - we thought it was the one for 2 people so our hopes perked up. But again , the flavor was bland, the chorizo very fatty and the beef either hard as a rock or stringy and unchewable. It also was to come with pork loin but we found none. I will say the service was excellent and very attentive but the kitchen was way off. Will probably not go back with so many other good tapas choices around like Vinoco.
Easy to see right off of Hillside Avenue servicing Williston Park and the adjoining areas of Nassau County. Parking on the Street is available. Moderately clean facilities. Public Restrooms. On the expensive side so bring your credit cards. Staff is nice. Give it a try and you decide.
Food was very tasty. Sangria was good. Atmosphere was decent. Desert was ok. It seemed like it wasnt made in-house. Overall, I would go back.
Just wonderful. This eatery has it all - like excellent table service, a Spanish themed menu, and a chef and kitchen that know how to prepare pleasing Spanish food. We were a table of seven and each of us was very pleased with our meal. Crema Catalana (Crème brûlée) was served flming!
Great food & price... Especially during Happy Hour. Sit down to a pitcher of sangria and enjoy the tapas at $6 each. I suggest the camarones al ajillo so you can dip the bread in the sauce. Also the bacon wrapped dates sounds different, but tastes pretty good.
Absolutely the best food and service
The tapas and the paella were delicious. Great service. We will definitely come back. Make sure you make reservations though.
The food was delicious and the service was great.. i would recommend this beautiful restaurant to my family and friends ❤
The food was ok; Sangria awesome. As an animal lover didnt appreciate the bull fighting picture on the wall. Im aware its a Spaniard tradition that is now illegal. Memorializing it in a pic isnt right.
Exceptional food, helpful staff members, regularly awesome character. They charge reasonable prices and the food quality is awesome. Top notch!!
Cant beat the Tuesday night special. Paella for 2 and a bottle of wine or pitcher of Sangria for 50$ . Wait staff is excellent.
I went last night to celebrate my cousins birthday. The food was amazing and the service was the best and top notch.I had the solomillo a la sangria which is filet mignon with mushrooms and sangria sauce.Soooo delicious.I am from NY but am Spaniard. Viva España.Gracias al restaurante y los camareros. Todo fue excelente y especial. Sangría 71 es el mejor. Contento de ser español.
Pretty good Tapas and Sangria. The paella left a little to be desired in that it didnt have the hard crusty rice shell at the bottom. Overall a good experience.
Food was delicious, but service was somewhat lacking.
Food is amazing, rich flavors. Great ambiance. Sitting by the bar, high top tables you can hold better conversations. Not as loud as the tables.
My new friend pretty mature older suggested this place and the Sangria was great!! Had 4 carne tapas and salad with a pitcher and 2 shots left full very happy 25 dollar tip and only 130.00 dollars cant beat that JUAN THE BARTENDER WAS AWESOME!!!
Food was okay not my favorite place. Lots of tapas and seafood. Parking a problem. Very hot in restaurant. Great sangria.
Great experience. Very lively place. The tapas and paella were excellent. Not an inexpensive place to eat though. Huge variety.
The atmosphere is great so clean and pleasant so professionalI love this place so much
Love this place highly recommend !
Great service, food very authentic
Just as I was starting to like the place for my appetite for paelha, I decided to take my friends family for dinner. When arrived I went in first to see if we can find a seat. I was told it would take about 20 min. So I went back to the car and brought everyone and we were waiting at the entry way when one of their snobby maitre d came and told us that there will not be a seat, in a most unapologetic way. Too bad, I have say sayonara to pretty good paelha and crew. Will not return after that insult. Then I found Heart of Portugal. Thanks!!!
Great neighborhood Tapas restaurant...great food and great service. Worth having an outing for my birthday.Delicious!!!
Food was great, service was okay... reservations dont mean a thing here! Sat us an hour and 20 minutes late, with no apologies. Not even a drink!
Exceptional food, helpful staff members, regularly awesome character. They charge reasonable prices and the food quality is awesome. Kudos.

We went for the happy hour dinner. It was delicious and the service was great.
Food was mediocre, salt was the most prominent seasoning. Dont go here if you want a low sodium diet.
Great food and attentive staff make for a great night out. I just ordered assorted tapas and passed on the entre. You can get lost in their tapas menu. Something for everyone
Service great. Food delicious. Little pricey so cant do to often but would go back.
Wasnt a fan of the food. Paella was mediocre, the meat was rough. Bread was coarse. Sangria and service were good.
Amazing spanish food with mouth watering flavors. So happy you guys are on Long island, this area need this. Great Atmosphere, aromas and Sangria!
The place is nice but I didnt like the food. My New York steak was burned, and dry. The staff is very nice.
Warning! German Roaches! My family and I came here for lunch. We ordered our food and as we were sipping on some Sangria (the best Ive had btw) we noticed a roach climbing the wall directly behind us.. eek! An embarrassed server saw it and grabbed it and pretty much ran away.Now Im sure he went to tell our waiter what happened but to our surprise no one came by to address the situation. 15 minutes later our waiter shows up WITH our food! Not a word about the roach.I had to ask for the manager! Then he approached us as if he had no clue what so ever as to why we asked to speak with him.I said to Im sure you heard of what happened and his response was yes... lol thats it. After explaining to him how poorly the situation was handled and that NO ONE even came to speak with us afterwards, he waived our check. Of course we tipped the servers.I dont think the Manger had any intentions of apologizing or compensating if we hadnt asked for him.
Good lunch specials. Had meat paella. Others in my party had seafood paella. We all took food home.
Great place amazing food. Great for lunch or dinner. Amazing atmosphere.
The atmosphere and service good. The food could have been seasoned better. Overall it a good place for family and friends
Wow just wow .. Paella is a must order .. the food was fresh and well done and service was great ... Definetely recommend this place to friends and family .. sangrias were deliciousParking is hard to find but the sign says there was parking around the corner
Good food quality selection very good prices reasonable portion size very good gets crowded probably because food is so good parking can be an issue but shouldnt deter you from going highly recommend
Good service and great food! Happy hour had great deals!
Great food, friendly staff, great atmosphere!
Great food love this place
Had the lunch special there, it was very good , as was the service, drink and price (very modest). Paella was a little too salty.
My family and I we love this place , the food is good, the service is exelente, the drinks are very good, the price is a liter high, but it worth every penny
We have eaten at both outputs, Williston Park and Commack, and found the food to be consistently good at both places. The paella is fantastic!
Enjoyed dinner very much.Good food, nice people.
I went here for lunch and the steak and rice were excellent. The dipping sauce was superb as well as the Sangria, service was excellent will definitely return.

2022-04-04Absolutely phenomenal. This is my 4th time here to celebrate my wifes birthday, and everything was top notch. Food is great but I decided to share some beverages as they compliment the meal quite well. You will be very happy with everything you order.

2022-02-06We were there on a weeknight and got a table right away without reservation. Everyone was courteous and welcoming.We ordered the soup, sald, a ribeye appetizer and a 2 person potion Paella (without muzzles)The soup was not bad but not wow.The ribeye appetizer was delicious with the redwine mushroom brown sauce.The Paella looked so pretty and flavorful (not fishy) the rice was the best after soaking up all the flavor.

2021-07-07Good solid place for Spanish food. They had a great staff and it was a nice environment. The overall experience was good.Our waiter Luis was excellent and his sidekick Johnny was hysterical. Definitely a unique personality. These two really made the experience so much fun.As for the food, I thought it was good, but not great. I liked it,, but was really hoping it would be great. Maybe, next time.Nevertheless, a wonderful evening.

2022-05-16Got the paella Valencia. The clams were not fresh and the rice was burnt, not crisp on the bottom.Had tapas, but the best ones were the baked oysters with cheese and grilled octopus.Service was the best factor in the scoring.

2021-06-08We have been here at least five times. Love the food and service. Always get paella - usually with seafood. Always good. This time we got one with meat and one with seafood. All good, but the chicken in the meat one was dry. Not annoying enough to pull a star off. Everything else was good including the sangria and desert.

2022-01-23Wonderful small Spanish restaurant. Food is delicious and decent size portions. Entrees come with salad and choice of one side: saffron rice, homemade potato chips, or string beans. I chose potato chips; seems like it very popular because they ran out. Took a long time to wait for them to make more. I waited 20 minutes for them. Place is super busy so need reservations ahead of time.
