Sangria 71 - Village of Williston Park

This was my first visit to the Williston PArk location. I usually go to the Commack location. I Took my mom and 2 aunts. They had never had paella. They are now official paella fans. Service was excellent, food was excellent.

Definitely not as good as the last time we visited. Maybe just a bad day at the restaurant (Wed May 1 . Wife and I ordered shrimp in green sauce shrimp was rubbery (overcooked? and green sauce was thin and lacked flavor. We know that everything has gone up in price, but the real shocker was $38 for a pitcher of sangria. Will think twice about dining there again

The food is excellent. The staff is very polite and knowledgeable. My only complaint is that it's pretty noisy. Otherwise the place is very clean, especially their bathrooms.

Layout/atmosphere*Bar area straight back and to the left from hostess area (high tables, two TVs and live music); two separate dining rooms (recreation of old posters from Spain on walls)Service*AttentiveFood/drink*Complimentary bread (seeded unseeded) with garlic/pepper/olive/oil dip Good*Crabmeat Avocado Tower Good; fresh; side sauce not spicy*Bacon Wrapped Scallops (served on pineapple slices) Good*Paella Marinera (seafood paella shrimp, scallops, calamari, mussels, clams) Good; scallops were the favorite*Pork Chops (grilled) OK

Yummy food! I went there for their 3-course special and I was blown away by the deal and the quality of food will be going back soon
