Spanish Tavern of Mountainside

Had a great experience at Spanish Tavern in Mountainside. The food was outstanding from start to finish. The soup was phenomenal—rich, flavorful, and the perfect way to start the meal. I also ordered the chicken paella and it did not disappoint. It was perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and generously portioned. The service was just as impressive. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything came out perfectly. Overall, a fantastic dining experience and definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to whenever I’m in the area. Highly recommend!

We hosted our courthouse wedding reception at Spanish Tavern on August 15, and it couldn’t have been a better experience. From start to finish, the staff went above and beyond to make the evening special. Both Isaiah and Monica were incredibly communicative throughout the planning process, always ready to answer questions and provide guidance. On the day of our reception, the entire team was attentive, respectful, and so careful with handling food, the cake, and our guests’ needs. As a restaurant, Spanish Tavern is already outstanding — but as a reception venue, they were truly amazing. They even allowed us to come in at noon (though our event didn’t start until 7 PM) so we could set up early. They kindly let us leave some of our items there, kept everything safe, and made sure it was rea

I had an amazing experience at Spanish Tavern! The food was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere warm and inviting, and the entire evening felt special from start to finish.

Visited this location for the second time last night for my mother’s 60th birthday. Upon arrival for a 6:00 PM dinner the tables were all open except for two others. With it being so slow on a Monday night I was expecting exceptional service especially in celebration for my mom. But, not only did our waiters not check on us after receiving our main course I had to ask for a refill beverage on different 2 occasions because it was forgotten. The icing on the cake was eating and seeing a huge roach crawl on the back wall as we were seated near the right-hand side of the dining room next to the window. We all quickly grabbed our belongings and notified the waiter it was a roach crawling on the wall and he proceeded to come and grab it with the cloth napkin from our table. He walked away and a

It's been 20 years since we last ate here and sorry it took so long to come back. Sangria was not too sweet..perfect! Octopus special app was exceptional! Paella was a large portion, well cooked, with a generous portion of lobster. Took half of it home. Mahi-mahi served over purple potatoe puree with asparagus was well balanced and delicious! Will definitely return to try other dishes on the menu.
