Spain Wine Bar
Nestled at the most southwest corner possible of Ocean City, atop the Cambria Hotel overlooking the Sinepuxent Bay and Rt. 50 bridge, Spain Wine Bar is not just the best rooftop bar and restaurant in Delmarva, but one of the best places to eat and drink, period. A legitimate culinary tour of Cocina Española, Spain Wine Bar offers dishes rich in diverse cuisine and regional tradition, heavily influenced by Mediterranean ingredients and cooking techniques. Fresh olive oils, vegetables, salads, and a variety of seafood, meat, cheese, and herbs are captured in creative tapas and pinchos, and also in the ‘large plates,’ including different variations and sizes of the best paella in Delmarva. And don’t ignore the creative list of Iberian-inspired cocktails and drinks, joined of course, by legendary sangria. While the selection of wines is not large enough given the surname of the restaurant, still, a grand tour of Spanish wine is available to help your gaze into the spectacular sunsets awaiting your happy hour visit, as the sun melts behind the water in this west-facing gem of a location. Warning, parking is scarce, and you may need Google Earth to find Spain Wine Bar, but the experience is worth the journey. In these pages, you will observe that so far, no Delmarva restaurant is awarded a coveted five stars, but Spain Wine Bar is close in nearly every respect, boasting best-in-class service to accompany your culinary delight. The owner is passionate about food and drink, and about, well, passion . . and his culinary love letter to Spain reflects this enthusiasm. If reservations are not available, try scoring a spot at the engaging bar, a place to see and be seen, nearly every night. The Spanish carta is among the best around, and the ambience is authentic, bordering, with the view on a summer evening, as espectacular. Visita Spain Wine Bar pronto and a menudo.
