Hispania Tapas Bar & Cafe 34 North Fort Harrison Avenue, Clearwater, FL 33755

"Just ok. South American food is much better. A baked empanada only half full and a small portion of rice for $15... Disposable tiny cups of lemonade for $2... Nah, this ain't good. Taste was okay but Latin food usually has more taste. The flashy red lights were a bit much and made my kid's head hurt. Waitress was kind. The music was good. But typical Spanish food: over priced, small portions and lacking flavor."

"The Columbia restaurant has nothing to worry about. Food is marginal at best. Owner waited on us...very cold to the point of rude. Food was cold and sparse. Paella tasted like Rice a Roni with one shrimp, 2 muscles. Cheese plate is nothing with a few little olives thrown in. Don't be fooled by the their website presentation. Save your money and go to the Columbia if you want good Spanish food. Very disappointed."

"I've been wanting to try this place for quite some time, well I finally got the opportunity to try it.....what a disappointment! Boring, lackluster, bland, and uninspired are a few words that come to mind. The tiramisu looked the most promising until I put it in my mouth... freezer burned and still frozen! The wine pour was on the less than generous side. I was seated in a part of the dining room that was generously light by fluorescent bulbs. There is some interesting artwork to look at and for sale. That's the best I can give this restaurant. Oh, and the wine was fresh since thay had to open a new bottle."

"Fun little intimate restaurant in downtown Clearwater. Small menu but packed with flavorful items. Stop by on our way to a concert at the Bilheimer theater. Ordered the cheese platter, Spanish meatballs, empanadas, bravas potatoes and paella. We really enjoyed every dish that we shared and especially the empanadas, meatballs and the bravas potatoes. It is a fun evening to sit and casually. Order multiple dishes to share by sipping on a fine wine."

"This quaint restaurant, around the corner from the main street downtown, is quite good. Everything is seasoned well and authentic. The paella is amazing!! The sangria was delicious; I could have drank a whole pitcher! The waitress/hostess also paints beautiful canvases which are on display. Now I have to go back and this time make room for dessert."
