    I last ate at the ST 30 or so years when I worked at EWR Airport. My wife and I returned for our 25th anniversary while on an 8 hour layover. Food, ambience and service as I remembered it. You wouldn’t be in business that long or longer if the service and or food slid downhill. We look forward to returning once again. Bravo ST

    I was unhappily surprised. We were sent to the lower level with a private party. The Host apologized, but it was too late. My wife veal was burned, and we had to sent it back. My meat was a bit hard and too salty. The only good thing was the Sangria which was very tasty. Our waiter, Pedro, gave us an after dinner drink which was very good, Amarguinha.

    Our experience at Spanish Tavern was mixed. I would probably rate the entire experience 3.5. The negatives- some of the meal tasted like it came from a can or pre-packaged(soup, gravy). Not terrible, just okay. Very tight seating. The positives- the restaurant appeared to be clean & well organized (including the restroom). The restaurant was welcoming & the staff members were very pleasant & efficient. Large portions. The garlic shrimp was outstanding & the sangria was very tasty.
