Enjoy Mediterranean atmosphere in Tampa’s most unique, modern, urban setting complimented by excellent authentic Spanish cuisine at affordable prices. Just blocks around the corner from Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center and the Tampa Theater, the Spain Restaurant and Toma Tapas Bar is the perfect place to be before or after a show. We offer Live Music every Friday and Saturday nights.
"When we arrived, the host was great, friendly and accommodating. Service to our table stopped when we told the server we were not eating, only drinking a pitcher of Sangria and watching the flamenco show. After 40 minutes without our server coming to our table, we finally decided to order the churizo dessert. It was the smallest portion I have ever seen and the dipping sauce was ice cold instead of hot."

"A varied menu with genuinely European style, the pairings of grouper with crab hit the spot. Beef tips were a little dry but only because the meat was lean and well seasoned, with an excellent burgundy mushroom sauce. The Flamenco guitarist added the right atmosphere without overpowering the ability to talk with friends. The place is small, but a top notch evening overall."

"I have listed a "No" recommendation as the bill we received was far higher than what we ordered. The manager seemed to understand what had happened and took the bill, but returned only removing $9 instead of the $21-$23 that was due us (we ordered the wonderful "4 for S30" tapas dish but were billed for each full size tapa). He actually said 'well, you ate all the food'...of course we ate it, we ordered it...as a 4 for $30 tapas sampler. He then said the dishes we had were bigger than the "4 for $30"...how in the world he expected us, who'd not eaten there before, to know the portion size is beyond me! We just paid and left. A wonderful evening and new discovery was completely ruined."

"We were excited to go to Spanish tapas rest. When we arrived only 2 people in restaurant at 7 pm. Dinner was ok. Needs a major facelift. Could be a great spot with a little investment."

"Entrees and sangria were excellent. Tapas are over-priced, with most over $10, some $14/$15. Tables are very close to one another -- really crammed in. They added a per person live music charge which I find tacky!"

"Reasonable prices, very good food and good selection. Tapas portions appeared to be larger than some places we've been, but we ordered regular entrees. We will go back."
