Reviews of Marbella Restaurant

Whenever one of our colleagues goes to Marbella, she has every intention of trying something new. But every time, she orders the paella. She can't help herself, because the combination of seafood, sausage and chicken is always delectable, and she'd probably kick herself if she didn't get it. But she knows she's missing out on all the other ""flavors of Spain"" offered by this Pepper Pike establishment, a sister to the Warehouse District's Mallorca. Most of the dizzying array of specials involve fresh fish in one form or another. All entrees are served with rice, fresh vegetables and Spanish potatoes. The 16-page wine list is more like a bound book; the textured walls, Picasso-like paintings and soft lighting suggest comfort and peacefulness. As one pundit says, it's like a touch of Europe in Pepper Pike - one that offers homemade sangria.

Great or Better
Simole but elegant dining room. Service is "pretentious" but I love the attention they give! Love the big sirloin steak (with fresh garlic). I have also had great lamb chops, veal chops, soft shell crabs, and a grilled seafood plate that was out of this world. The seafod hot pot or "stew" was fantastic, with subtle flavors of spices which highlighted the seafood, not masking or covering. Portions are very good making this place a good value, even with the higher prices.
