It is a covered area with a harpist playing. All the wait staff is wearing masks and are very accommodating. The menu is accessed by using a QR Reader on your smartphone so it is contactless. The emapanadillas are delicious! We enjoyed the stuffed sole and paella along with the Spanish beer and red wine. And we had the Marbella crepes for dessert. Excellent all around!! I've been twice and will continue to go weather permitting

It’s all covered which is nice and nicely lit. The food, as always is fantastic. The staff all so happy to welcome you to the restaurant. We were not rushed, the staff all had masks and gloves. Great night

As I get there I’m greeted by the manager tall man with a beard if I’m not mistaken blue suit seemed decent at first until I went inside. I head to the bar to go grab a drink. As I saw many were doing and as soon as I get up there the bartender says to me let me please see your ID. So as I forgot that I had left my ID in the car I tell him I have a photo and that I’m of age and he grabs the manager and the manager says to me he needs the ID pointing his nasty fingers in my face with an attitude and tells me to go grab it in the car. I look at him im like okay no big deal even though there were people who were actually underage and drinking at the party that he didn’t ID. Anyways. Besides the rude nasty manager whatever his name is. Food was tasteless clams were not fresh. This establishment was not how i remembered it to be. I will never be returning nor will I ever recommend anybody to even bother booking a party or booking a reservation with this place.

It's my first and also my last time I would be coming to this place. Got food poisoning from eating here.

When I first encountered their paella in 1987, it was a revelation, introducing me—and countless locals—to the deep, saffron-infused joys of Spanish cuisine. Since then, Marbella has evolved into the go-to spot for everything from intimate family gatherings to small wedding rehearsal dinners, all while maintaining an unwavering commitment to the fundamentals of hospitality. The service here is impeccable, a throwback to a time when dining out was an event, and every guest was treated like family. It’s not just the food, though that’s reason enough to visit. There’s something magical about the ambiance—whether it’s the gentle strains of a harpist, the passionate rhythms of flamenco, or the soulful strumming of a Spanish guitar. Marbella doesn’t just serve dinner; it serves culture, enriching Bayside’s already diverse tapestry with a vibrant taste of Spain. But let’s not forget the main event: the food. The dishes are crafted with a meticulous attention to detail, each bite a testament to the chef’s skill and the owner’s dedication. Speaking of which, the owner’s presence is felt throughout the meal, as he moves from table to table, ensuring that every experience is nothing short of perfect. In a borough as vast and varied as Queens, Marbella stands out—not just for its longevity, but for its unwavering quality and the genuine warmth that defines every visit.

Juan and Marcos were so incredibly kind, patient and accommodating from the moment we inquired about their venue up until the day of the wedding. The staff was incredibly attentive, ensuring every guest felt welcomed and cared for throughout the evening. The service is impeccable. The food is simply outstanding, as are their drinks. The ambiance of the main dining room added to the magical atmosphere of our wedding. The attention to detail in every aspect of the event was evident, making the entire evening flow seamlessly. I can't recommend Marbella enough for any special occasion. We will definitely be back and will be recommending it to our family and friends. Their exceptional service and food made the wedding an absolutely memorable event. Five stars all the way!

We choose some savory, some spicy and end on refreshing before dessert. The service is better than many Manhattan steakhouses without the hauteur. I always leave anticipating my next visit!!!

I am going to share my thoughts and you make your own decision if you would like to try this place or not. The seafood always tastes fresh and not frozen. The paellas areamazing. The paella valenciana is the best for me. Also, their appetizer is great. The fried calamari and shrimp in garlic are amust-have. Furthermore, I love their homemade sangria. It is made to order. They make the sangria right before your eyes. I willadd more pictures ASAP. However, one the best things about this restaurant are the friendliness of the staff, the manager Marcosand the owner Juan. Always attentive making sure everything is to your satisfaction.
