The Spanish Kitchen

Over priced Taco Bell Stand

by lasnipster at Citysearch

First off i think it should say mexican kitchen, second food was just ok. atmosphere is a place where people wanna be seen, thats about it. Glorified Hollywood scene for people that wanna be seen and wanna be something. Drinks on the other hand are amazing!

• Pros: parking was killer, valet is the way to go...
• Cons: nothing other then what i said.

Spicy -- in the good sense

by jericsmall at Citysearch

The Spanish Kitchen is one of my favorite "repeat" restaurants, especially as I love the seasonings and the garnishes around the great main entree. The Sweet Potato Crusted Salmon is my favorite. And I love that they have the fried ice cream.

• Pros: Dark enough for dates
• Cons: Some of the tables are strangely boxed in

Great Mexican Gourmet, Lovely Atmosphere

by ashinfashion at Citysearch

We were there for Cinco De Mayo and it seemed really hectic and busy but the friendy hostesses sat us right when we came in. The service was surprisingly fast, the server was really helpful with recommendations. We had brought friends from out of town who thought the Salmon was AMAZING and made us promise to take them to the Spanish Kitchen again next time they were in town. I liked the fajitas, it may be pricey but you get such a large meal it's worth every penny. The atmosphere was great, lots of colorful candles and mexican decor that added to the experience. Oh and lets not forget the margaritas!! delish!!!!

I really recommend this place if you want a good meal and a social atmosphere!

• Pros: Service, Atmosphere, Margaritas
• Cons: NO PARKING!

MOST BEAUTIFUL BARTENDERS IN TOWN

by maggsdodger at Citysearch

I went in on a busy Friday night with a group and had a blast. The Bartenders were fast, attentive and they made the most incredible drinks. I ask this green eyed beauty to make me a different margarita and she made the tastiest drink I've ever had. It was fabulous. I would also recommend the Mojitos. The music was a little loud but it was later in the evening. The price was not bad either. I would highly recommend this place.

• Pros: Service, Food, Drinks
• Cons: Parking, Restroom facilities

Great ambiance but not worth the price.

by supreme_beings at Citysearch

The waitress was nice and knowledgable yet incredibly slow. The wait on food took forever, the portions were tiny and the drinks overpriced. They made mistakes upon mistakes on our orders and really, no free chips & salsa?!! After stating that they would be able to make seperate checks to make it easier on us, they refused and left us with a single 1000$ bill to figure out amongst 20 people. Nice looking place but the service and food could have been much, much better for what it's worth.

• Pros: great scene, vast menu
• Cons: food portions vs. price, service, hostess POINTED to where we we're seated rather than leading us.

Grand Central Cafe - an undiscovered jewel

by mielazucar at Citysearch

This little cafe is right next to 500west, a boutique hotel inhabiting what was the YMCA for many years. The cafe actually opens into the hotel, so it is accessable from both the street as well as the hotel. There are some amazing old black and white photos of the city, as well as the train station that still stands several blocks away. It is a perfect breakfast spot, especially if you are at the W, right around the corner!

Great atmosphere, good food

by alexrv1 at Citysearch

The name may be misleading, but don't let that stop you from getting tasty Mexican style cuisine. Definitely go on a Monday and enjoy their Enchilada Monday's special. Most recommend their Mojito's, don't get me wrong they're good and all, but not my favorite. Wait staff have always been friendly in this beautiful and recommend restaurant.

• Pros: Good food, great decor and ambience
• Cons: A little pricey for what you get, almost have to use valet
