Best Spanish Restaurants in Long Branch

Brought my partner and 6 of our friends here to celebrate his 40th. There were multiple allergies at the table and our server was not only SUPER knowledgeable and friendly but accommodated and everyone and put together an incredible tasting menu for us. We all felt very well taken care of and had so much fun! 5 stars all around!

When I made a reservation at Lena, I mentioned in the booking that my father had been diagnosed with terminal cancer and that he was determined to start living life to the fullest. The first thing he wanted to do was revisit Lena, a restaurant he cherished from years ago. While I didn't have any specific requests, I mentioned that great service would mean a lot to us. From the moment we arrived, the team at Lena went above and beyond to make our experience special. They seated us in the best booth in the restaurant. The staff's warmth and attentiveness were immediately apparent, making us feel welcomed. One of the highlights was when they allowed my father to order a meal intended for two, Aurora’s chicken, just for himself, while I chose the noqui. This thoughtful gesture made him feel special and allowed him to enjoy his favorite meal. Our server was incredibly attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout our visit. In a particularly touching moment, she even remade his coffee because he was in the restroom when it had cooled down. I was so moved by the kindness of the staff that I found myself tearing up as I thanked her for making our time so special. I felt a bit embarrassed for crying, but she was so compassionate. As for the food, it was nothing short of amazing. Each dish was beautifully presented and delicious. To top it all off, the chef came out to say hello, which was such a lovely gesture. Overall, our experience at Lena was wonderful and memorable. The combination of exceptional service, delicious food, and a warm atmosphere made it a perfect outing for my father. I am incredibly grateful to the staff for making this meal special during such a challenging time. I highly recommend Lena to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. Thank you, Lena, for creating a beautiful memory for us.

Always a fantastic experience and meal. The small plates are amazing, from the flavour to the attention to detail.

The experience was the best from start to finish. Booked our resv through open table but was only able to book for 1 person so made a note that table was for 2 & a birthday. They adjusted the resv for table of 2 automatically, reserved us a beautiful table & the chef is incredible, he greeted us at the door & remembered me from visiting before with other friends. The food was more than amazing, we had the anchovies appetizer & seafood paella for 2, my friend said it was just as excellent as what she’s eaten in Spain, the seafood was so fresh, everything tasted incredible! They even brought her a little flan with a candle on them! All the servers were so attentive, kind & great humour! I even recommended it to one of my members & she showed up the same evening with her partner to try it! Love this place & will def continue to promote & come back! Thank you LaVinia!

It was my girlfriend’s birthday and it was a great experience, great food and great service. I gladly recommend this place to anyone.
