The lunch special deal is a steal for only $15 you can get the seafood pot with saffron rice. And for $6 more, you can add soup and a cup of sangria. The seafood pot had scallops, clams, and mussels in garlic broth, and the saffron rice was perfect accompaniment. Rice was cooked perfectly. The sangria was refreshing and full of fruit totally worth it. What really makes this place stand out though are the servers. They are top tier: super attentive, constantly checking in, and really make you feel taken care of. Between the amazing food, great lunch special deal, and outstanding service, this is a fantastic spot for lunch. Highly recommend!

Delicious Spanish food! The tapas portion is bigger than I expected, but good value for the price. Love the octopus! Will come back for the paella festival! Follow up since my last review: the lunch deal was pretty good in price. Also surprised that this place offered lunch special during Saturday. Had paella lunch. The Sangria was strong.

This is my families favorite dinner spot. The dishes here are always solid and consistent. They are full of flavor and absolutely delicious. What makes this place even more special is the staff. The staff here is super friendly and attentive. We usually come on Wednesdays for happy hour and ladies night which ends at closing. Our waiter is usually Sebastian, and let me tell you he is the most attentive and kind gentleman. He’s always willing to answer any questions and makes suggestions. We love coming here when he’s around. He has share that Friday is Latin night and they have music which sounds like so much fun! We have been coming here consistently for months and we are always pleased.

This is my second time at this restaurant, and the paella is truly unforgettable. It’s a long-established Spanish restaurant with consistently good dishes and excellent service.

I ordered to-go Paella Marinera yesterday because I had Paella for the first time in my life couple days a go somewhere in Bayside from another place and I loved it so much. So I decided to having it again here in Sangria as the place close to Bowling alley that I went after. I literally just ordered Paella Marinera, the price is $36ish exclude tip but included tax. They gave bread + salad inside my order. Which is a very nice gesture, the staff also was quite nice too. Then I tried the Paella in the car, ohhhh mannnn, I was so disappointed, its too blant compare to the one I had from Bayside. Its not that bad tho, but just not that good. They put alot of seafood tho, which is a good thing, means they are not being cheap. I give 4 stars mainly just because the taste, I expecting more flavoured and lil bit more fragrant. But well, Im gonna give it a try again someday in the future, maybe the taste blant because its to go order. I need to try dine-in there someday

Absolutely enjoyed our date night at Sangria 71. The service was great, staff was very attentive. The food was great! Everything was fresh and perfectly seasoned. We had the Seafood Paella, baked oysters and fresh salad . Cannot wait to go back!

We were in the mood for Tapas & wine. Sangria 71 was a pleasant surprise. Walking in the main entrance felt very homey. This restaurant is separated into 3 sections. We decided to sit in the bar area for the romance swaying through the dimly lit room. We were offered the happy hour menu in addition to the dinner menu. I’m overjoyed since the happy menu really reflects what it should be. Sunday happy hour is 2 pm to closing . The blue point oysters were as good as it gets. The dish emanating immense flavor was the chick peas with spinach. The paella for 2 is sufficient for 3 actually. We truly enjoyed the meal and look forward to returning again!
