Nothing marked gluten free, but we had the most knowledgeable server ever. We ordered olives and Marcona almonds to start, (assuming they were the safest bet). He quickly told me I couldn’t have the olives because they were from Portugal-the marinade wasn’t gluten free. Who knew? Lots of dinner options. The paella was delicious!

First time to eat at this jewel. Got reservations for patio. With fans, it was very comfortable. No cocktails. Just beer and wine. Best red wine sangria I’ve ever had. Several gf options. My husband had seafood with a bouillabaisse. I was able to taste as it was gf. Delicious. I had beef tenderloin with marseille mushroom wine sauce. So tender and delicious. Flourless chocolate cake topped off the meal. Highly recommend that you treat yourself.

España had great food and service (Brian was great!) Their GF game is strong, most of the menu is already GF and we had plenty of choices. Everything we ordered was excellent, the paella was great and the rice was perfectly cooked along with clams, mussels, chorizo, chicken, etc. To top it off, Basque cheesecake (GF!) which has to be the best ever. Can’t wait to go back!

Amazing food and atmosphere. There was not a dedicated fryer so empanadas are not safe, but I had the tenderloin medallions in a Madeira sauce and cheesecake for dessert, which was amazing. I can’t wait to come back here. Outdoor patio dining is especially nice and well Heated.

The waiter was extremely knowledgeable and explained how everything would be prepared to make sure I was comfortable. The food was delicious. The best seafood paella I’ve had in years. The restaurant is beautiful and they have a great wine list

We were delighted to find this restaurant! No reservation on an early Saturday night, but we were seated outside under an umbrella & were comfortable with a fan nearby. We were able to choose several gf items from the tapas menu. Those and a fresh sangria salad would’ve been enough. But Michael, our excellent server, skillfully described a Burnt cheesecake with lemon chantilly whipped cream that we succumbed to temptation. It was deliciously creamy & not too sweet.

Díos mio!!!!!! We chose so well. The special tonight was an eggplant dish that was wonderful too! The sangria topped it off!! Beware of items fried in common fryer!!!!! I did have some intestinal issues after dinner; not sure exactly what from (fried potatoes or polenta or Corona premiere beer).

So tasty good. The Calamari steak is to die for. The scallops are amazing. The wait staff was very knowledgeable and was able to modify certain items to make them safe for my celiac daughter. They have gf desserts too.

Nice place! Delicious and filling. Much of the menu is naturally GF, they were accommodating to modifying items, pan fried something for us that is normally deep fried, (they have a shared fryer) etc. 3 GF desert items to offer. Very knowledgeable server. Probably need to call ahead for reservations. I think dinner only, 5-10 pm.

España is one of my favorite restaurants on the island! The food is wonderful and there are a lot of gluten free options. The servers are always very helpful and willing to check on items with the kitchen and chef. I’ve eaten many tapas, salads, and even paella without any reaction or issue. The sauces for many of the meat dishes are GF and most of the tapas are GF. Highly recommend!
