EL CID

My wife, my buddy and I ate here last weekend. This place offers friendly service and genuinely delicious dining fare.

Many thanks to the staff that took care of our dining needs: Sergio (waiter) very affable, Derek (busser) replaced our plates and utensils with a quick pace and Juan (head waiter) who's excellent recommendations and quirky humour kept us happy through the evening.

Food here is fantastic to say the least. I had the Steak and Lobster tail, my wife had the Scallops and my friend, being vegetarian, ordered the Vegetable Paella.

My Steak was juicy and just the way I like it, medium well, the lobster was succulent. My wife's Scallops tasted fresh and properly cooked, my friend's Paella was surprisingly appetizing.

I would love and plan to come back and enjoy more of what they offer on their menu.

We had 16 people at our party, and the service was incredible! All the food came out faster than some places do serving only two people!! The staff was very attentive and friendly as well. Everything here is expensive, but you also get unholy portions, they're huge! The steak and veggies I had was very fresh and had amazing flavor, I was so impressed. The ribeye on their specials menu was $52 for example, but you also receive double the size of what most other places serve anyway, so the pricing kind of scales to portion size. I tried mussels, ribeye, filet mignon, veggies, and some lobster tail. Everything I tried was super fresh and flavorful, so I can definitely recommend those!!

What a great place, the food was amazing garlic shrimp, stuffed scallops, escargot and a 64 ounce end cut, two of us shared the meal and there was enough end cut left to split and take home,service was quick, I loved this restaurant,I will be back. I suggest calling first on a weekend to reserve because dining area is small, you do have the option of eating at the bar

Spanish restaurant with outstanding seafood and meat options. Portions are enormous, the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender, and the seafood is seasoned perfectly. The sangria is also delicious - perfect for a hot summer evening. I've been to Spain, and this is truly as authentic as it gets. Any meal you have here will be a treat, so come hungry!

Portions were nice size. The food was incredible. Lobsters were great. The steak tips 👍 I bit on the pricy side but definitely worth the money.

My third time visiting and totally pleased again...
The Prime Rib cooked exactly as requested...Warm Pink Center.

Karen was our waitress, and she was fantastic..
The entire staff are happy to make your visit a pleasant one.

Try the garlic shrimp and order the garlic spinach to compliment the prime rib.
Huge quantities but you can share with another for a small fee.

We started with the garlic shrimp and I could die for the garlic and oil it was cooked in. OMG! So good. Cooked perfectly. Tasted delicious. Dinner for me was the sirloin steak. It was GINORMOUS and cooked to perfection. Taste was phenomenal! Served with veggies. We had rice and fresh chips on the side. The chips? 🤤 I couldn't stop eating them. My parents got the paella (said it was delicious) and the salmon (huge piece, great flavor). Took home tons of leftovers. Ordered dessert even though we were bursting at the seams. LOL! Cappuccino for all. Chocolate mousse in cake form for me. Chocolaty, smooth, creamy, yummmmmmm! Flan for dad (he loved it) and rice pudding for mom (said it was tasty). Staff was attentive and friendly. Owner is a doll! Super busy on a Friday night. We arrived at 5:30 with a reservation and got right in. By the time we left at 8, it was packed and there was a wait. Bar was hopping too! What a great place! Recommended!!!

VINNY HAS LEFT THE BUILDING! El Cid left with him!

March 6, 2023, El Cids is currently closed indefinitely. Renovation is in prorgess at this time. There is no update on when or if it will reopen. Thanks

9/19/21 FINALLY! EL CIDS HAS REOPENED AND THE SERVICE AND FOOD IS BETTER THAN EVER!
For almost two years this wonderful restaurant has kept its doors closed to protect their loyal customers from the pandemic! Now they have reopened at 100% capacity and a delicious new temporary limited menu with all the old favorites still on the list of yummy selections!
Stay tuned, the menu is evolving to even higher yumminess, who would have thought it could get any better? Oh and the sangria is the best there is on the planet!
GO ENJOY YOURSELF WITH YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS, EL CIDS IS BACK! CHEERS!🥂

No other high end restaurant offers such decadent selections, by far the best anywhere!
The consistency of the spectacular portions amazes me! I love El Cids, so does my entire family!
The people who work there are the best I've ever met, they make our dining experience a delicious adventure! Try their red sangria, no others compare!

This place is always the go to spot for any celebration. The food has been consistently fantastic since my parents first took me here when I was 11 years old. Surf and turf is a staple. A must try. 10/10.

I've been coming here for years and the food is always consistent. The staff is friendly and they know the ins and outs of the kitchen. We took a party of 8 and waited an hour for a table. But I know from going there so many years that you need to come early to wait on a table because they get so crowded. There's a bar to kill time. It was a great time, everyone loved their food. The plates are large and definitely great for a family or groups. Their blue cheese dressing is so good. It's homemade and never fails me. I got the ribeye, there were some paella's, mariscadas ordered. Everyone loved the flavor and portions. I suggest you go in advance since they don't take reservations.

My Lobster dinner was perfect. No restaurant can do it any better. My wife's Salmon was cooked to perfection as well. This place is a true Gem of a dining experience...

First off I typically don't eat red meat. Mostly a plant based diet for me but when the opportunity to have a killer cut of steak I'm all in. This place will not disappoint! Pictured here is the sliced prime rib over sauteed spinach and it was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. My wife however is a strict vegetarian so the meal next to mine is the vegetarian paella which is not on the menu but absolutely should be. Portions are more than a single human can eat in a single sitting and the sangria is amazing!

Went to El Cid with some friends for dinner. The place was busy but the service and food were excellent! Prices are more expensive than average but the portions and quality are worth it. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for quality meats and seafood. The sangria is excellent too!

Been going to El Cids for as long as I can remember, I use to be a prime rib guy then moved to surf and turf. Now I'm just surf. There food is always consistent. We've never had a bad meal. Also try their lemon spinach chicken so tender and to die for.

Have been coming here since I was a kid, and it never disappoints, glad to see it back thriving after the break due to covid.
Will continue to come back for dinner over and over again.

Holy moly one of the biggest prime ribs I ever seen yet, it was very moist and tasty, this can feed a family of 4 will definitely have left overs Drinks are good there as well.

Every meal our party had was amazing, 28oz fillet was great buy I have the special Kobe Skirt steak and it may have been the best steak I have ever had!!

Great place, food and service is awesome. Will definitely come back soon.

Great food!! Big portions!! And as always, the sangria was very good !

First timer..service was great food was very good. Very pricey but worth it.
