Candela Restaurant

Charming dining room. A very comfortable place for dinner. Authentic Spanish dishes beautifully presented. I think it’s the best seafood paella in Florida. We also love the grilled octopus and the croquettas, Family owned so it’s not like an impersonal chain restaurant. Interesting Spanish wine list. Expertise in the kitchen for sure.

Pleasantly surprised with this place. At first we didn’t know what to expect but everything was incredible. We had garbanzos with chorizo which was great, the grilled octopus was sensational and the lamb shack left me surprised and wanting more. The service was good and the music excellent and nostalgic ???? great place !!

Nice size restaurant with several Cuban and Spanish dishes. I had Caldereta de mariscos, a type of seafood stew. The food was delicious and represents the actual flavors of the dishes back in Spain. Pricing is a bit high, but due to the complexity of the dishes is well priced. My only complaint is that a table next to us had empty dishes with no one sitting at the table for over 30 mins. Service was good and knowledgeable. If back in the area, I would come back.
