"I have been going to this place for a number of years and its never disappoints. The food is terrific, the staff is right on target. Everything I have had is delicious, especially the paella. The owner is a true gentleman who is always there to greet you. So everyone must try this place."

"The sangria price was steep... $30 for half a pitcher with ton of ice and couldn't squeeze three glasses out of it. The seafood paella was excellent and sufficient tapas choice and general food price is fair. Good old school service plus a harp player added bonus point for our Saturday evening dinner. It is a place that we will feel safe to entertain our friends for a casual elegant meal."

"Although the portions were large, the cost of the dishes were high given the area and type of food. Much better food and cost in the Ironbound section of Newark, NJ."

"Marbella is a favorite of my family's (my daughterand her husband like it so much that they chose to have their wedding reception here!!!!) My family is Spanish,have been to Spain, and could honestly say that the food, tapas, sangria, and Spanish coffee here rival any restaurant that we had gone to. For those who do not enjoy Spanish food (and no, Spanish food is not spicy like Mexican)there is a continental menu as well with choices of fish and Italian choices.
There is always a romantic ambience, no matter the night of the week, with tables spaced for quiet conversation and on Saturday and Sunday evenings there is the added benefit of live, background harp music.
You will want to return again and again."

"First time dining at this restaurant, the food was excellent but they were way too under staffed for the day (valentine's day) we sat on time but waited 15 minutes before we even received a menu. There were a lot if mistakes on the food people orded and the waiters tried their best. Took us close to 3 hours to complete dinner. I will definitely go back and see how it goes on a normal week day or weekend."
