"The best of Spain awaits diners at this gorgeous downtown spot, opened in 2013 by restaurateur Sava Lelcaj. Chef Raul Cob has been recognized as one of the top paella chefs in the world and his team serves five different variations of the popular rice dish, including one with confit duck and bone-in chicken leg and another with four kinds of seafood. The menu also features an all-Spanish wine list that perfectly complements about 20 choices in tapas and other Iberian delicacies. Takeout — including wine — is available and reservations are accepted on Tock." - Mary Hayes Weier
"Sophisticated without being stuffy, this tapas spot is a great way to show off how cultured Ann Arbor is to your East Coast parents while also getting the most out of your once-a-semester free meal. Bacon-wrapped dates with chorizo and some heavenly patatas bravas stand out for us, but honestly it’s hard to go wrong. Sava’s got this city on lock. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
"Folks in Michigan looking to indulge in a legit serving of Spain’s quintessential dish paella need to look no further than chef Raúl Cob." - John Reyes
"A romantic evening in Spain is on many a bucket list, but a visit to this downtown spot is considerably easier. Aventura’s authentic pintxos, tapas, and paella are served by an attentive staff in a gorgeous, historic space. Innovative cocktails and an all-Spanish wine list complete the experience." - John Reyes
"Red and white sangria are on the menu in Ann Arbor’s swanky Spanish bar. In true tapas style, a party can order a pitcher of either flavor for the table. Sangria by the glass is also available during happy hour from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays." - Alexandra Schmidt
