Suspiro

Stumbled upon this new establishment while walking around Santana Row. Food is average for a Peruvian/Spanish tapas restaurant, although portion size is actually more generous than some other tapas places in the area. Ceviche Mixto was our favorite out of all things, very flavorful and all ingredients used were very fresh. Paella is a miss for us, $32/person and the rice came out way too salty and no crisps at all. The bar is fantastic, drinks are great, would be a great place to grab some drinks and small bits with friends on an outing. Given this place is so new, there are still some kinks they are obviously trying to work out. All service staff members are friendly and helpful. I will look forward to re-visiting this place in a few months.

Super cute new tapas restaurant. Designed beautifully. An average size of portions. The cocktails were great! Some of the portions were extremely delicious and beautifully served, and some of them were mediocre. The prices are reasonable.

Suspiro is located in a quiet courtyard in the trendy Santana Row (near Barry's Bootcamp and NetApp). The restaurant has a beautiful setting and ambiance. The bar is situated in the center of the restaurant displaying its wide selection of wines, beers, bubbles and spirits. We had an amazing lunch filled with tasty tapas and delicious paellas. We started with the classic pisco sour, a glass of MV Cava "pink brut" Pares Altes, a glass of Rioja, La Mar cocktail and the Soulstice ginger peach iced tea. For starters, we had the Ceviche Mixto, Ceviche de Atun, Causa de Congrejo y Camaran, Croqetas de Pollo, Berenjena Asada, Bikini Trufado, Empanadas de Carne. We also pre-ordered the Paella de Mariscos and the Paella de Carne for six. We probably would have been ok with Paella for three as there was plenty of leftovers. For dessert, we shared the Suspiro Limeno, Torrija, Tartin de Manzana, and Tarta de Chocolate. There was more than enough for the six of us after consuming all the tapas and paellas. The service was amazing. Our server and bartender, Steven, was warm, attentive and friendly. We even had the pleasure of seeing pics of his beautiful fur babies. I highly recommend Suspiro for their tasty dishes and amazing cocktails. If you are up for more fun, inquire about their hidden speakeasy ...

Had a beautiful little lunch here on a Sunday. Had the ceviche, omelette, empanadas, croquettes, and chicken anticuchos. Loved the Peruvian Spanish fusion. Very nice drinks, food and ambiance! The music was a vibe. Our waiter Oswaldo did a great job and was very attentive!

Wow. I have been waiting for this to open for a while. This is quite frankly the best food I’ve had on Santana Row in a long time. Yes it’s expensive, but you definitely get what you pay for and then some. Came in during lunch time when it was quiet and sat at the bar. Steven and Adrienne took care of my wife and I and made some great recommendations. The flavors of all the food were on point and next level. We got the ceviche de Camarone, Spanish omelette, and octopus. Wr didn’t have time to stay long for the paella, but we’re coming back soon to try that. Be careful of the spicy sorbet ball on the ceviche. Ask for it on the side, because it creeps on on you hard. I have not had a chance to try the speakeasy bar in the back but took a quick tour of it. It’s reservation only but looks promising with a small patio area as well.

I am from Spain and this is an amazing Spanish bar. I had tapas like in Spain. Vibe and service is outstanding. Ali's cocktails are incredible, he deserves an award. Daniela's service at the bar was also excellent. She is a good professional with a smile all the time . Finally , the welcome host (Valeria ) and her peer make you feel that you are in an exclusive bar in South bay. Feels like a private club in a good way (classy). Finally we have a bar in South bay with high standards like Barcelona or NYC. Congrats to the entire team .

Food and drinks were amazing! We were on the patio with our pup and definitely appreciated that they offered a blanket for us. What a great touch 😁

The place is only three weeks old at this stage. Oswaldo, our caring server told me they were in training for the last two months - and it showed. The Chef who is from Spain was excellent. What a delightful surprise at a reasonable cost. We’ll be back!

Came here for lunch to celebrate my friend's birthday. Everything was outstanding from the ambiance, the food, and excellent service by our waiter Oswaldo! Best dish was the Causa de Congtrjo y Camaron, highly recommend it, was so good ordered it twice. Empanadas were tastey and so was the chocolate cake.

Went to Suspiro last night on a date night with my husband, the ambience was so nice. We had HOSNA as our server and she was excellent attentive to our service and fun. Gave us great suggestions on the food and very helpful.

3.5 stars but will bump to 4 stars since our server Johanna was so sweet! granted it's a restaurant in Santana Row... so expect a pricey dinner. The ambiance and aesthetics is absolutely beautiful though! I would definitely recommend this place more for girls night out, date night, or happy hour/ drinks with friends with lite bites. our favorite dish is the BIKINI TRUFADO! toasted bread with ham, cheese, and truffle second would be the PAELLA DE MARISCOS (seafood paella with rice). It's flavorful, but very salty and oily -- also no crispy rice pieces :( The squid ink paella was enticing too, but it says with thin pasta. Paella is priced 'per person', say whaaa, with a 2 person minimum. So about $60+ the sampler mango ceviche was also really good! they should definitely make that a full menu item. The other sampler eggplant focaccia was okay. Other tapas we got were chicken croquettes (yummy) and the octopus (not that great). Didn't get to try their drinks yet, but my friend ordered the Lola and it was strong. Their cocktails look really pretty in general, next time! Love the decor and indoor/outdoor open concept! Shhhh, they have a speakeasy in the back (:

My friends and I came to try out this place when it first opened and the food and lack of accommodations was disappointing. We ordered the eggplant, carne paella, and ceviche. The ceviche and eggplant were decent, pretty standard. We have one person in the group who can't have pork and is sensitive to creamy sauces. We attempted to order the veggie paella and add chicken but was not allowed to according to the server because "the chef, she has a vision and does not do customizations." We then asked if we could do the carne paella without the pork and the server said "you can, but she will not give you extra chicken to make up." The way he said it was kind of odd, but then when we asked for aioli on the side, he reiterated "we cannot do that because the chef has a vision for her food and will not put aioli on the side." This chef is very unaccommodating to her customers due to her "vision" which put off the whole vibe of the dinner. After we ordered the paella, we expected it to come out skimpy which we were okay with, but when the paella did come out, it was very salty. The ambiance and drinks were super cute, which adds an extra star to this place. Our server was also very nice, but seemed scared of the chef by referencing her "vision" and unwillingness to accommodate multiple times. Overall, I would not come back. If you're looking for a cute tapas/paella place, I'd recommend Teleferic instead.

3.5 solid stars Came here and ordered a variety to share. The cocktails were OK. Nothing too special. Pretty standard. My top favorites were 1) Chicken and short rib paella - the chicken pieces were very tender. Super flavorful overall, but the short rib was a little dry... 2) Ceviche was super good. Love the acidity and flavor! The other 2 dishes were okay. We thought the octopus dish had too much olive purée and the egg and potatoes omelet was pretty bland. The desserts were disappointing... I would skip they in the future. On a side note, we did check out the speakeasy... it opens at 5, and I believe we were one of the first guests in there. We walked in and no one else was in the room. Ordered our drinks and 15 mins passed, and no drinks. We were short on time and had to leave. Disappointed.

3.8 rounded to 4 stars. Suspiro is a newer Spaniard/Peruvian fusion cuisine joining Santana Row, serving elevated drinks, tapas, paella, charcuterie boards, and more. RESERVATIONS I've been here twice, once for lunch and once for dinner. Both occasions have groups of 3-4 people. Reservations are quickly booked through Resy. Check-in with the host upon arrival and be seated rapidly both times. INTERIOR/EXTERIOR Beautifully decorated with neutral, earthy tones accented with lush plants. SERVICE Service is spotty. Staff are attentive upon arrival and at the beginning. After you've ordered, you'd have to wave a server down for anything. FOOD Suspiro offers an array of tapas to choose from. Everything I've tried was delicious and well-executed. I'll list a few favorite tapas to make this review shorter and more readable. TAPAS & CHARCUTERIE * Canelon De Carne * Ceviche (all are delicious!) * Patatas Bravas * Croquetas * Tiradito de Pulpo * Berenjena Asada * Bombas de la Barceloneta * Charcuterie boards: Jamon, Salamis, Manchego, Queso Picon, everything is perfect PAELLA I highly recommend all of the tapas and charcuterie items on the menu. Unfortunately, I don't recommend the paella here, but hopefully, there will be improvements. We ordered the Fideua Negra Paella, and it was very disappointing. The entire entree was overcooked. The shrimp and mussels were dry. The shrimp are cooked shell-on, but it was a struggle to peel them off without tearing the flesh. Since this paella came with thin noodles, they were dry and hard. Luckily, some of the noodle's bottom layers were soft, but there was considerable inconsistency in texture. Unfortunately, this entree was bland and missed the mark. It'd be nice to provide a citrus wet wipe for patrons to wipe their hands, especially when handling seafood. Overall, it is an excellent addition to Santana Row. Suspiro is a great spot to meet with friends/family for lunch or dinner. It has all good vibes. If you're interested, there's a speakeasy in the back; ask a staff member. IMPROVEMENT FEEDBACK * Service could be better. Staff members can check up on tables more often for water and drink refills. Perhaps ask the table if anything is needed. * Paella, as mentioned above, could use significant improvements. Since Suspiro is part of Spaniard cuisine, paella should be a priority to attract patrons.

F O O D: 10/10 - Ceviche Mixto $26 |White Fish, Shrimp, Scallops, Octopus, Leche de Tigre, Rocoto | - was unbelievably amazing. the freshness and temperature of seafood and flavor profile was so. good. i would only come back here to enjoy this one dish, must have/try. ordered at 6:45, came out at 7:10 3/10 - Paella de Mariscos $32 a person so $64 total - Shrimp, Mussels, Squid, Aioli - price tag, wait time (which was noted by our server it would take a long time, took about an hour to come out), over saltiness had me chugging water after we left. mid range of amount of seafood. on a very salty and oiler side, could've been cooked longer. disappointed to say the least. togoed half of it home and ended up tossing anyways, I wasn't trying to eat the ocean again. 2/10 - Canelón de Carne $26 - Catalan Cannelloni, Beef, Pork, Chicken, Parmesan - mushy and just not a pleasant flavor at all. think of a pancake rolled with lunch meat and some white mayo sauce and white nacho cheese flavor. D R I N K S: 2/10 - espresso martini - one of the worst espresso martinis I've ever had. it was a straight shot of espresso on the burnt and bitter side and cheap vodka. soooo bitter and not an ounce of sweetness. S E R V I C E: 7/10 - host was okay, server was okay. not patronizing in any way but they act like they could care less, just there to do the job A M B I A N C E: 9/10 - the interior design and open concept was beautiful, very lively and pretty, I did not favor our seat though, it was right in front the bar, pushed to the window so it was extremely busy and someone celebrating a birthday decided to have their whole entourage crowd around us. too overstimulating with bad food, I really wanted to like this place

Really nice place to sit and eat. Everything looked super nice and everything including bathrooms looked clean. Service was pretty good and was always checked on. Only thing that was a 3 star was mainly food. Combo seafood ceviche was really good, might've need a little like a sprinkle of salt to counter so much citrus added but overall the dish tasted good. Eggplant dish could've used some crunch or umami flavor to it. Just tasted way too plain for a half eggplant with cheese. Again it was decently good. Not a fan of the meat roll we got. (Forgot the names of all our dishes lol) the meat reminded me of Siopao and the wrap was chewy and not very appetizing. I would pass on this one. Paella had really great flavors, pork ribs were seasoned and cooked nicely, chicken to me was over cooked and dry. Aioli was delicious and smooth! Decent pricing with decent food. Not much to rave about. Would probably come back if a friend wanted to try them out but other than that, nothing really begged my taste buds to make sure to return. Staff were great though!

First timer & definitely returning! Came here for my sister's birthday celebration and we had a blast. We also enjoyed the speakeasy experience. Special shoutout to our servers: Alexander & Angie (Thanks for a fabulous time!) Everything was delicious! So let's get into what we ordered: Food: - Ceviche Mixto - Causa de cangrejo y camarón - Empanada de Carne - Bikini Trufado - Paella de Mariscos Cocktails: - 3 Poncho - 1 Lola - 4 shots of Casamigos Reposado Bon appetite!

A delicious and gorgeous new dining option in Santana Row! My friends and I finally got the chance try this new place and ordered a variety of dishes family style: - causa de cangrejo y camarón: potato, shrimp, and crab (3 pieces) ; my least favorite only because I don't like crab but my friends enjoyed - tortilla abierta: a thin omelet topped with earthy mushrooms and sausage; an umami explosion - bikini trufado: basically a ham & cheese & truffle panini (4 pieces); it was so good we ordered 2!! Melt in your mouth - canelón de carne: a homemade sausage with beef, pork, and chicken; looks unappealing but well rounded meaty flavor - puerto y rocoto: pork belly entree with plantain and sweet potato; melt in your mouth texture and wonderful balance of flavors - the pork and chicken paella: more short grained crunchy rice than the paellas I've had in the past but was still delicous after all the small bites We each had a cocktail and were impressed by the presentation and complexity and variety of flavors. Of course, we couldn't walk away without trying the dessert, so we ordered - suspiro lemoño: a passion fruit custard; I normally don't like passion fruit or custard dishes but this was the perfect balance of tart and sweet! - Torijja: Spanish French toast; dare I say I like it better than regular ?! - tarta de chocolate: a classic chocolate torte; rich but not too dense! This was plenty of food for 5 people - we struggled to finish the last bite but forced ourselves bc it was so tasty! I will definitely return to try the other tapas - we barely grazed the surface. Logistics : - indoors and outdoors seating available; reservation recommended for busy times - some vegetarian options but you'll do best if you can eat some meat - free parking in the garage down the street

My husband and I enjoyed an early date night here (around 4:30pm so it wasn't crowded) and it was such a delightful experience. The waitress was very knowledgeable about the food and drink menu so she gave us excellent recommendations. All the food we ordered came out absolutely stunning and delicious! To top it all off, we discovered the hidden speakeasy that's located past the restrooms. That is a whole mind blowing experience in itself but you'll have to go to find out. Highly recommend trying this place out and consider going during non-peak hours!

Ngl Suspiro surprised me!! I met up with two other friends for an evening here, and was immediately blown away by how nice the interior was. The pictures don't do it justice I'm a sucker for sage green color ways lol. My reservation was for indoors but I'll definitely have to choose patio next time because it is such a nice vibe and really brought me back to my trip in Barcelona last summer. Our server was very knowledgeable and helped us determine and double check which foods were peanut free as my friend has an allergy. I appreciate how I never had to refill my glass, he was really attentive! We got three items which were perfect for us to share. Ceviche mixto - 5/5 what a banger of a first dish! The seafood was fresh and perfectly tangy and I loved the purple chips that came with the meal. I would order this to eat by myself LOL. Paella de mariscos - 4.5/5 really enjoyed this dish as well! The shrimp were huge and amazingly charred, overall it was a good dish to share and took less than 35 minutes to come out. :) I did find myself getting a bit weary towards the end of the paella though and felt it was a bit salty. I'd definitely eat this with a cocktail paired next time. Puerco y rocoto - 3/5 my least favorite dish of the three. It's beautiful presented but overall didn't wow me like the previous dishes. My favorite part was definitely the crunch of the puerco. I wasn't a huge fan of the sweet sauce to pair with it, but the dish was still good overall. Overall a great place to catch up with friends and enjoy some good food. I can't wait to stop by the speakeasy!

Tucked away at the end of Santana Row next to the theater, Suspiro is a speakeasy that I'd never noticed before, but its striking interior of green and wood caught my eye. Hidden behind the restaurant, through some curtains, lies a candlelit bar lounge with cozy tables, a stunning bar, and an aesthetically pleasing patio where we chose to sit. It's a quaint courtyard adorned with lights and lush greenery. The drinks are fantastic for vodka and gin enthusiasts, and the edible glitter adds a super fun touch! The waiters were so nice and super accommodating. While the menu is limited to charcuterie, you can't order from the restaurant's main menu. Nonetheless, it's an awesome spot for drinks. I had so much fun discovering this little secret with my girlfriends. I can't wait to return and try the restaurant itself--the Spanish food on the menu looks absolutely delicious!

Came here for a Mother's Day lunch recently and was greeted with a tulip at the front entrance by the hostess! We were walked to our table outdoors and the waiter moved an umbrella to block the sun for me. That was very nice of them. Since I only came here with my husband we only tried two things: Beef Empanadas 5/5- very flavorful and a tad spicy Seafood paella 5/5- flavorful and fresh seafood but will ask for it to be extra crispy next time Dog and kid friendly! Can't wait to come back and try the other tapas with a larger group next time. The mocktail was also perfectly balanced

I saw this place on an ig reel and wanted to try it because I love paella! I really like the vibe of this place and it's perfect for a date night or night out with friends. The staff are friendly and attentive. I went here around 5pm on a Friday and was able to get seated right away, although I noticed the place was packed shortly after. There were also people sitting outside, but it was a windy day and I noticed the staff bringing out blankets for people to stay warm, which I thought was really nice! The food is ok. I would come back for the paella (it was kind of salty for me but adding lemon to it helps) and to try other things but would not order the tomato bread again. The tomato bread was underwhelming and pricey for what it was. The ribeye was delicious though and I would recommend!

Ever since we've been to Spain, I always try to find authentic Spanish cuisines. This place was new and so we decided to try it. The place is fairly spacious and the ambiance was upscale. The food was good, my favorites were the chicken/pork spareribs paella and the ceviche mixto, although I would add a bit more spice to it. The server we had was very friendly and attentive. She would always check on us to make sure we got everything.

Came here for drinks during the day while we were out walking around Santana row. The restaurant really nice and spacious. Since we were just getting drinks, we sat at the bar. I wasn't the biggest fan of my drink, it felt a bit watered down and so did the drinks my friends got. I would come back and try the food. It looked really delicious. They also have a cook speakeasy which Is only open after 5pm. Be sure to check it out!

Newest kid on the block Santa Row showcases Spanish & Peruvian Cuisine at its finest. My only gripe was the service, which is why I rated it 3 stars. My recommendation would be is to have a 90minute seating requirement. I wanted to have an early celebratory birthday with my besties and I chose to be at the hottest new restaurant in town. My reservations were at 745pm and we waited about 45mins just to be seated. I was really upset because we were told 5mins ok?! We're working on your table ok? Given we were seated in a corner and offered to order drinks kept us satisfied. When we were actually seated inside- the hostess or manager seemed to forgot to assign us to a waiter. 15 minutes later I called over the bus boy and asked if he can find our waiter. I saw him asking around and he brought this matter to the manager which I can tell he was flooded with fear that he forgot! Right away he scrambled around and assigned a waiter to us. Let me make this short, the bus boy did way better than the server. She was not attentive or apologetic in regard to what was happening. She even knocked over our to go box with no apologies. Anyhoot as for ambiance-had the feel of boho chic decor. Tons of patrons and authentic food. Reminded me of when I went to Spain. One of my faves were the pork belly served with plantains and sweet potatoes as well as the paella de maricos. The restaurant has a lot of potential itself but needs more organization. Peep out my food photos!

I was lucky enough to stop by this place twice in the last couple weeks (4/13, 4/27). The drinks were delicious and food was fantastic! The first time, me and 2 friends grabbed a few seats at the bar since it was a busy Saturday evening. We grabbed a few drinks and ordered the patatas bravas to share. I got the Lola--super light and refreshing and came as a rec from the bartender! The patatas bravas were also great and a solid choice. The bartender made an extra drink and gave it to us, free of charge! That was the La Mar and was a fun twist on a piña colada. My second visit was more of a sit down at a table. I got là ultima (gin and tonic) as a drink. It was nice and not too strong! For food, I again ordered the patatas bravas, shrimp ceviche, and purple yam with shrimp tempura on top (sorry I forgot the name)! The food was so delicious this time around. The presentation was beautiful. I love the twist they have on Spanish/Peruvian cuisine. Overall, I definitely recommend this place! My "dings" come from the fact that some dishes are a bit pricy, but is a great place for friends to catch up and share yummy foods! Service: 5/5 Food: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 Price: 3/5

I randomly dined at the newest hot spot on the Row last weekend with a friend. They just opened about three weeks ago. Reservations available on Resy. I wasn't prepared with a listed order aye yi yi. Eats: *Paella de Mariscos, crispy edge socarrat style! *Patatas Bravas: classic fried potato dish with creamy aioli and mildly spicy red Bravas sauce *Bombas de Barceloneta: fried potato balls *Complimentary Cancha to snack on: crunchy large corn kernels lightly coated in oil & sea salt Paella was on the salty side but had good flavor. We appreciated the lack of fishiness for the seafood. Difficult to mess up patatas bravas and they delivered! I'd skip the bombas and try out ceviche next time. The friendly ladies next to us recommended that and the cheese board. Gotta have a handcrafted cocktail when I come back. Shout out to attentive waiter Diego! He was helpful in navigating the menu. I probably should've asked for tapas recommendations. The interior is beautiful! Spacious, high ceiling, cream colored walls with hanging brown bohemian wicker lamps. I wasn't sure how the Speakeasy works but you can make reservations for that. Apparently there's a dress code too. Check out Suspiro for a modern twist on Spanish & Peruvian food on the Row.

My recent visit to Suspiro was a mix of culinary delights and service disappointments. As part of a large party, we eagerly delved into a variety of dishes, hoping to sample the best of what the menu had to offer. While the La última cocktail leaned a bit too heavily on the sweet side for my taste, the Suspiro cocktail stood out with its delightful blend of elderflower tonic water and blood orange shrub. We embarked on a ceviche adventure, trying all the varieties available, and unanimously agreed that the ceviche Mixto stole the show with its rich and vibrant flavors. Accompanied by plantain chips, it was a perfect balance of tangy and savory. The empanadas de carne were a crowd favorite, boasting a delectable filling that left us craving more. The Anticucho de pollo offered a tantalizing mix of flavors, although the bombas de la Barceloneta failed to impress, lacking the punch we were expecting. Our foray into paellas was met with mixed reviews; while the meat paella was enjoyable, the seafood paella fell short with its slightly fishy taste and less-than-fresh mussels. Unfortunately, the service fell short of our expectations. Our server, Alex, while friendly, seemed to overestimate our appetite, resulting in an excess of food that left us feeling overwhelmed. Despite our requests, the check took multiple reminders to arrive, leaving us with a lingering sense of frustration. On a brighter note, the ambiance of Suspiro was undeniably charming. With its Instagram-worthy decor and cozy vibe, it provided a welcoming backdrop for our dining experience. Overall, Suspiro offers a tantalizing array of flavors, with standout dishes like the ceviche Mixto and empanadas de carne leaving a lasting impression. However, the mediocre service detracted from an otherwise enjoyable evening. With room for improvement in this area, I would rate my experience at Suspiro a solid 3 stars.

My friend shared an Instagram reel of Suspiro, so there was quite a bit of hype on this new restaurant that opened up in Santana Row. I kept this place at the back of my mind since it left a lasting impression. I made reservations for lunch on a Sunday. I opted to get an outdoor patio seat since I wanted to bring my dog. I read a review about how the outdoor felt like a wind tunnel, so I came prepared with my dog in a sweater. Appreciated the pro tip! Although it was beautiful and sunny Spring day, the outdoor patio was getting strong gusts of wind for some reason. Other than that, it was quite pleasant eating outside. Customer service was excellent. Our server's name was Hasna, and she was friendly and attentive. She checked in on us frequently and did us right with the recommendations she provided (Ceviche Mixto and Susprio Limeno). The kitchen was also efficient as our food promptly came out, one after the other. It was nice to try this restaurant at least once, but I wouldn't hurry back to this restaurant. I really wanted to love this place, but most of the food was OK at best. Patatas Bravas - Patatas Bravas is one of my favorite Spanish tapas in general, but I was disappointed with Suspiro's. The mayo and brava sauce were fine, but the potatoes needed to be crispier. Berenjena Asada - This was a very bland and mushy baked eggplant with machego cheese. Pan con Tomato - I appreciated the freshness of the tomato. The real reason to why we ordered this was because Suspiro doesn't offer chips or bread with the ceviche. We used the pan con tomato to complement the ceviche. Ceviche Mixto - This was the best savory dish that we ordered. It had a great mix of white fish, shrimp, scallop, and octopus. The seafood tasted fresh. Chicken croquetas - If chicken dumpling soup was a solid food, it would be this chicken croquette. I didn't mind the croquetas, but I had better elsewhere. Causa de Cangrejo y Camarón - These were bites of rolled up mashed purple potatoes topped with crab meat and a tempura shrimp. This was my least favorite dish. I felt like the flavors didn't make sense. The purple potato was very vinegary and pickle tasting. The freshness and fattiness of the crab was nice since it cut the acidic flavor of the potatoes. The tempura shrimp had a sauce drizzled on top, but I didn't pick up the flavor of the sauce. All the shrimp really did was add a crunchy texture. Chocolate Torte - Nice slice of light and airy chocolate cake. Suspiro Limeno - This was fantastic! It was like a smooth custard with a wonderful passion fruit puree.

I went here to celebrate my birthday (party of 4) and I'm so glad I did! It's brand new and we were able to be seated right away on a Monday night. (They do take online reservations) the interior decor was Modern & authentic! (Spanish music was playing too ;)) I really enjoyed the beef paella and the chicken empanadas, the empanadas have a slight spice to them so if you don't like spicy foods beware! I thought it was also sweet that they gave me a birthday dessert and it wasn't a traditional cake but rather it was a passionfruit custard which satisfied my sweet tooth and gave a refreshing taste and feeling. I would definitely come back here again the food was very good quality.

Had sangria, appetizer and the paella de pescado on Saturday night. The staff was great, service was good and the restaurant is beautiful. The red sangria and appetizer were delicious. The paella de pescado was a disappointment. Too oily. Not enough sea food. Not flavorful. Four or five shrimp with the shell, these tiny mussels and about four little rings of calamari. The dinner was expensive. Such a disappointment. We asked for salsa/spicy for the meal. We didn't know each tiny bowl (3 in total) was $3.00 each. The tiny bowls were no bigger than a small spoon. See picture. The salsa wasn't that good! The waitress tried to be understand when we complained. Unfortunately not returning for the paella!

The veggie review! Drink: Got the one with emperor's gin, while it looked really fancy, didn't taste great, although it was super potent Food: We tried all the vegetarian tapas, nothing really stood out enough to order again The cheese platter felt too expensive for the amount of cheese they gave The paella was definitely a hit though. I don't like the tomato-ey ones, and this was more on the charred flavor side which I liked. Loved the decor and vibe of the place, and the servers were great too.

The interior design of this place is soooo beautiful. It is also very spacious. We came by on a Saturday afternoon around 3PM for some drinks at the bar and small tapa. The drinks presentation are on point. My favorite is definitely the El Alquimista. It's light with rose water + hibiscus but also made me feel tipsy with enough alcohol. We also ended up ordering the Ceviche Mixto which consists of octopus, scallops, and white fish. The flavoring is sour but spicy with the citrusy dressing. Very refreshing to eat on a hot day. -1 star because there was possibly miscommunication in the kitchen and it took maybe 50~ min for the ceviche to be ready. Even the server asked us if we have gotten our food yet. It was also mistakenly charged twice on our bill. We had to tell the server and the manager ended up coming to us to apologize and waived the ceviche charge tho. Very appreciative of that so I'll still give a 4/5. I'll be back to try more entree and the paella in the future.

Recently celebrated a friend's birthday at this restaurant with a group of seven. I highly recommend making reservations, especially for weekend evenings. We were seated in a cozy booth with additional chairs to accommodate everyone. We indulged in a variety of dishes, including croquettes, ceviche mixto, fish ceviche, beef empanadas, and a delicious paella. While some dishes could have benefited from a touch more seasoning, particularly the croquettes which needed a pinch of salt and the empanadas where the smoked paprika stood out prominently, the paella was a standout highlight. The ceviche mixto had a delightful spicy kick. FYI the restaurant didn't offer any special birthday gestures, the overall dining experience was enjoyable. It's worth noting that the space is a bit compact, making it challenging for those with strollers to maneuver comfortably. Also the bathrooms are coed but not labeled very clearly. They also have a speakeasy that requires reservations. The entrance wasn't very speakeasy it was a drape entrance.

Suspiro kept appearing on my IG feed so I decided to come here last night with my fiance for our anniversary dinner. We ordered the tiradito de pulpo, croquetas de pollo, lomo saltaldo and one of the charcuterie boards with salchichón trufado and jamon Iberico. Our server was very attentive but the food came out really slowly and our charcuterie board was the last item we received. I also think the croquetas and lomo saltaldo could've used a lot more flavor and the lomo saltaldo definitely didn't give bang for its buck at $45. I enjoyed the tiradito de pulpo out of all the dishes we got but overall I don't think I'll be back anytime soon.

Went in here on a whim and luckily they were able to take us into the speakeasy as I heard reservations are required. I had my dog with me and they allowed us into the gravitate patio and when we saw it it was like a magical secret spot all to ourselves! It was a great hideaway and I like it more than the inside of the speakeasy to be honest. Valeria was a great server and very attentive. The drinks were good and not too sweet. The charcuterie was perfect and they gave us extra bread. I definitely recommend coming here for a unique experience hidden in Santana.

But inside of this place is so beautiful. It is such a vibe. It gives Tulum vibes when we came in. We weren't expecting the food to taste good just more of the ambience and decor, but we are so surprised with how well everything tasted not as we're really good we ordered two plates of those. Everything was delicious service was top-tier recommend.

3.5 STARS The Row/Mantana Row is arguably one of the most scene-y place in the Bay Area. In scene-y, I mean a place to see and be seen with the rich rich and posers...you know the dudes that rent a lambo and drive laps around the row revving their engine. And, then you have those who come here because of the dog-friendliness. *RAISES HAND* Nearly every weekend, I'll make the trip here to get our steps in and because nearly every business is dog-friendly (all restos have outdoor seating). The two newest restos to arrive are Fitoor and Suspiro. Decided to check out Suspiro first which soft opened over the weekend. Suspiro is brought to you by Buen Rallo Group with sister bar/restos: Zazil, El Jardin, Chika, Colibri (SF) and II Parco (SF). They serve Spanish and Peruvian cuisine. Full bar. T H I N G S T O K N O W Suspiro has two sections: Restaurant and Speakeasy hidden behind a curtain. RESTAURANT * Open for lunch & dinner. * Walk ins accepted; rezzies on Resy. No cancellation fee but they request you cancel within 8 hours. * Different Lunch & Dinner Menu - Lunch: Tapas, Dinner: Tapas, Entrees, and Paellas. * Dog-friendly patio but beware it's located at a wind tunnel and the heat lamps didn't help. SPEAKEASY * Opens at 4 pm. * 21+ only. * Rezzies only on Resy; listed as S.Suspiro. Cancellation *may* trigger a $20 pp fee. * See Resy for "Dress Code" and "House Rules". * Separate dinner (bar bites) and cocktail menu. * Back patio available. * Will become membership only in the future. Unlike their sister restos, no 5% small business mandate was added to our bill. Pay bill via QR code. D R I N K * Suspiro Gin & Tonic: Ginraw Barcelona w/ fever tree elderflower tonic, blood orange, ginger shrub, mint ($18) // 3.5 STARS It was ok. Runs on the sweet side, light on the booze, and didn't taste the blood orange or ginger. Plus, I prefer G&T that's more effervescent. F O O D * Complimentary Cancha: Peruvian Toasted Corn // 4 STARS Toasty, crunchy, and well-seasoned Peruvian corn nuts. * Causa de Cangrejo y Camarón: Purple potato, crab meat, shrimp tempura, huancaína (3 pc - $22) // 3.5 STARS: https://tinyurl.com/mtchzkey Beautiful presentation and loved the vibrant colors. The peruvian casserole sounded great on paper but needs work. The mashed purple potato was too salty and the shrimp tempura was not crispy. * Tortilla de Patatas: Spanish Omelet w/ potatoes, caramelized onions ($18) // 4 STARS: https://tinyurl.com/2p8y5dbe Classic tapa done right. The omelet was filled with soft layered potatoes. It was tasty tho could have used more caramelized onions and an extra dollop of aioli so each wedge had some. * Patatas Bravas w/ spicy bravas sauce, aioli ($15) // 4 stars Soft potatoes accented with dollops of tangy tomato based bravas sauce (not spicy) and creamy aioli. Hard to mess this up. * Ribeye y Tacu-Tacu: Ribeye w/ chorrillana sauce, rice-bean patty ($45) // 3 stars --Requested medium rare This took an hour to arrive, so the anticipation was high... While they nailed the medium rare temp, it seems the ribeye (lean) wasn't rested long enough before slicing because it was dry. The tacu tacu (peruvian rice & beans) were salty, as was the chorrillana sauce (worcestershire + soy based) so together, it was a salt bomb. S E R V I C E Staff was friendly but they're obvs still figuring things out. Our drinks and two of the apps arrived within 20 minutes but then there was a 45 minute lag between the next app (4 pm rezzies). Our kind server was apologetic about the wait times. A M B I A N C E Spacious and trendy with warm tones, basket weave dome lights, a large bar, and mini booths throughout. There's three patio areas adorned with fairy lights. Restrooms could use attention, several stalls had TP thrown around the floor. P A R K I N G Plentiful lot and garage parking. Overall, like most restos on The Row, you're paying for the vibes and Suspiro is one of them. And then, there's inflated pricing which we knew going in (3 tapas, 1 entrée, 1 cocktail, 2 sodas, tax/tip = $166.88). Hope they roll out a happy hour menu in the future!

The moment I walked in, the ambiance and interior really got my eye. I love all the plants they have in the restaurant. Decor was on point. Service: our server was awesome. He checked on us constantly and made sure we had everything we needed. The managers also stopped by a few times to check in. Food: wow, I loved everything we got This is what we got: - Ensalada de tomates (just a tomato salad but was really refreshing) - Ceviche Mixto (sooo fresh and refreshing, I love that there was a combination of everything) - Causa de cangrejo y camaron (the tempura shrimp was delicious but purple potato was a bit salty. I probably wouldn't get again) - Tiradito de pulpo (delicious octopus!) - Ceviche de camaron (delicious! beware that the sorbet on top is really spicy) - Tortilla abierta (really thin omelet and the smoked sausage was salt, I wouldn't get this again) - Empanada de carne (GET THIS! one of my fav dish on the menu) - Paella de marisco (love the mussels and grilled shrimp on here, although the portion was a bit small)

Suspiro is located in a quiet courtyard in the trendy Santana Row (near Barry's Bootcamp and NetApp). The restaurant has a beautiful setting and ambiance. The bar is situated in the center of the restaurant displaying its wide selection of wines, beers, bubbles and spirits. We had an amazing lunch filled with tasty tapas and delicious paellas. We started with the classic pisco sour, a glass of MV Cava "pink brut" Pares Altes, a glass of Rioja, La Mar cocktail and the Soulstice ginger peach iced tea. For starters, we had the Ceviche Mixto, Ceviche de Atun, Causa de Congrejo y Camaran, Croqetas de Pollo, Berenjena Asada, Bikini Trufado, Empanadas de Carne. We also pre-ordered the Paella de Mariscos and the Paella de Carne for six. We probably would have been ok with Paella for three as there was plenty of leftovers. For dessert, we shared the Suspiro Limeno, Torrija, Tartin de Manzana, and Tarta de Chocolate. There was more than enough for the six of us after consuming all the tapas and paellas. The service was amazing. Our server and bartender, Steven, was warm, attentive and friendly. We even had the pleasure of seeing pics of his beautiful fur babies. I highly recommend Suspiro for their tasty dishes and amazing cocktails. If you are up for more fun, inquire about their hidden speakeasy ...

From the moment we walked in until our last sip of a perfectly crafted cocktail, our experience at Suspiro was nothing short of extraordinary. The attention to detail, the warm ambiance, and, above all, the exceptional service set this place apart. Kaleigh, our server, was simply amazing. She made us feel welcomed and attended to our every need with a smile that could light up the room. Her recommendations were spot on, and her service was the epitome of professionalism. John, the manager, was the definition of personable. He checked in on us multiple times throughout our meal, ensuring that everything was to our liking. It's rare to see a manager so involved and caring about their guests' experiences. We will come back to see & chat with him again. In the speak-easy section, Danny, the bartender, crafted some of the best drinks we've had in a long while. Each cocktail was a masterpiece, balancing flavors in a way that was both innovative and delightful. And although I can't recall the name of the supervisor in the speak-easy, he was incredibly personable, making sure our time there was memorable. As for the food, where do I even begin? Each dish was a discovery of flavors and textures, but the star of the show was undeniably the ceviche. It was the epitome of freshness, with each bite transporting us to a coastal paradise. The vegetable paella was comforting and flavorful, a true testament to the chef's ability to elevate simple ingredients into something extraordinary. The anticucho de pollo was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor, rounding out a meal that was both diverse and satisfying. In summary, Suspiro is a gem that shines brightly in the culinary scene. The combination of incredible food, outstanding service, and a vibrant atmosphere makes this place a must-visit. We're already looking forward to our next visit. Thank you to Kaleigh, John, Danny, and the entire team for an unforgettable evening.

It kills me to only give this place three stars but I truly could not rate them higher based on the food! The service: truly this is the only reason I bumped them to three stars instead of giving them two. The service was incredible and from the moment I sat down I prayed that the food matched the phenomenal ambiance that everyone working there created! The space: absolutely stunning, the space is gorgeous and the choices they made with decor are incredible. I truly want to hire their decorator for my future home I was so impressed! The drinks: we had the maracuya and it was on the sweet side but pretty good! In the future, if I do come back here, it will likely be for cocktails! The food: sadly this is where it went downhill fast. We ordered a few items and pretty much all of them were a let down. Bombas de la Barceloneta, I was super excited for these but they were so incredibly bland. They pretty much only tasted like unseasoned boiled potato and I was so disappointed. Berenjena asada, this wasn't bad but they depended A LOT on the cheese and the sauce on top to carry the flavor and overall there wasn't a lot of seasoning in this dish either. It was fine but I don't think I'd order it again. I love eggplant and wish they focused more on making the vegetable delicious instead of dousing it in sauce and cheese. The paella, the dish was so greasy, the rice was a bit undercooked, and for some reason it came with a TON of mayonnaise. Again, it was also wildly under seasoned and really didn't taste like much. The suspiro limeño was good, very sweet but pretty good. It's a smaller serving but I think the right amount for how sweet it was! If I hear that they start seasoning their food and making things a little more traditionally I'd love to give this place another chance because everything aside from the food was so incredible! Spanish and Peruvian food seriously lacks in this area and I'd love to see this place make some tweaks and succeed because I really think they can!

I loved the lighting, decor, and vibe of this restaurant. The staff were all sweet and attentive. We ordered 3 poncho cocktails, 1 cancha, 4 tequila shots, paella de mariscos, ceviche mixto, empanada de carne, bikini trufado, and causa de cangrejo y camaron. The poncho cocktail tasted light and refreshing. The paella tasted buttery but not much flavor to it. Everything else was okay nothing that really stood out to me.

came here for brunch during soft opening, prettt swanky place with a speakeasy. I would recommend coming here more for dinner as the lunch options are pretty limited.

This is santana row's newest place to open. The menu is more tapas and the vibe is definitely more classy/date night. There is lovely jazz music playing, and there is a speakeasy in the back! The food was plated beautifully and the cocktails are well made! Overall, I would come here again because we enjoyed it!

We had lunch here today for the first time. Great contemporary clean architecture with some cool sustainable features. Great vibe. This is a great 'date night' restaurant...even though we ate lunch . Our server was Julian. He was nice but could be way better if trained at a higher level. A few examples: we ordered a carafe of sangria...he never filled our glasses, not even when he first brought our carafe and glasses to the table...it was strange. After we ordered our tapas dishes, and the carafe of sangria, the 5 menus (wine, 2 food, 2 drink menus) were just left on the table. Now we have had tapas many times and it's customary to leave one menu in case you want to order more dishes, but the stack of 5 menus was a little ridiculous. The food runners didn't have room to set the dishes on the table without us shuffling the menus around. We finally set them on the seat of our banquette. OK, Enough negativity, let's get to the food. We ordered the shrimp ceviche (6/5), beef empanadas (5/5) chicken croquets (3/5), and the iberico jamon (4/5). The ceviche was memorable! Citrus and spicy sauce topped with a citrus ricotta sherbet...Brilliant! I would come back just to have that dish again. The beef empanadas stood out to me also. The braised beef filling had a hint of grilled meat flavor, not your typical braised beef flavor. It was a nice surprise for me and was different than any other beef empanada I have had. We finished our meal with the chocolate tart (5/5). Very chocolatey but not too sweet or rich. It was light, with a slightly molten middle. For chocolate lovers, it's a must have! This was a very good experience. With a little more training or awareness for some of their wait staff, this would be my 'go to' Peruvian tapas place.

It's my birthdayyyy and I chose Suspiro as my birthday lunch. Tucked away at the end of Santana row next to Meso, suspiro provides Peruvian and Spanish food served tapas style. We opted for two tapas and a paella. Let me tell you, the ceviche mixto is sooo good!! Actually, everything was delicious! The octopus was super tender and perfectly balanced with the sauce and the olive tapenade garnish was *chef's kiss*. Our paella was great, rice was not under done. It's my let peeve when they undercook the rice, but didn't have that issue here. Our sever was Oswaldo and he took care of us this afternoon. Great attention to detail and a great photographer as well. Definitely enjoyed my birthday lunch and looking forward to going to the speak easy.

We went this past weekend (Saturday lunch) to celebrate our mom for Mother's Day. Ambience was excellent. The decor was beautiful. I love the bar stools. Food tasted really good also. The paella was flavored perfectly for me. Here's the reason for the 2 stars. We could not get a refill on our bottle of tap water to save our lives. We got a bottle of tap water when we got seated (everyone does). We were a table of 5 so we went through that water fairly quickly. Apps started arriving so I asked our food runner for another bottle of water. Fifteen minutes later... nothing. I asked that same food runner when she dropped off our charcuterie board for a bottle of water. Fifteen minutes later nothing still. Our server dropped off the dessert menu and I asked him this time for water. Fifteen minutes later... nothing. I saw our server take an order from the next table next to us, and was running around. I get it. He had other things to do. But to eat a meal without water? It's a pretty horrible experience. Not dropping off any water refill is very fixable but I'm just sharing my experience of this place on Mother's Day, hence the two stars.

We have been wanting to check out this new Peruvian place for a while . Weekends get very busy here and need a reservation . So after several attempts to walk-in we decided to check it out during lunch hours . The location is great and with both indoor and outdoor seatings the ambiance is semi casual . We ordered the mixed Ceviche, eggplant and the Paella . All three were very good and made us decide to go back for dinner before the end of the summer.

At last minute I was able to book an 8pm dinner for two using Resy the same day to no issue. A small win for me considering Suspiro being a new hot restaurant "on the Row" and on a Thursday evening. A bit of concern though were the 3 star reviews for a brand new spot and the ease of booking seemed sus. I really like the ambiance of this restaurant inside and out. Lots of interesting patrons to vibe along with. Service was excellent-my companion and I stayed until well beyond their closing time (~11pm and if you do this, make sure you tip well). I quite enjoyed their pisco sour which was one of the 3 cocktails our server recommended for top 3 "prettiest drinks on the menu" at my inquest. My friend ordered their "Zero Proof cocktails" aka mocktails. She imbibed in their Maracuyá which our taste buds interpreted as Fanta orange drink (where's the passionfruit?) We had the following Pan con Tomate aka tomato bread Ceviche de Atún aka tuna ceviche Paella de Carne - meat paella We added plantain chips after the fact when we realized our assumption that chips weren't included with the ceviche. What we ordered along with our drinks was enough for a party of two. We would have room for dessert but opted to skip. The ceviche atun was delicious but overdressed and complicated. Pan con tomate was simple and good for it's price ($10) . Paella de carne was mid and oily. Would I return again? Yes, for drinks and small bites. For now I'll adjust my expectations and be patient and maybe eventually it will get better.

I have been dying to come here since I saw a video on it over a month ago. Suspiro is located in the heart of Santana Row and has a beautiful exterior and interior. The food was uniquely crafted and very refreshing. We ordered a round of mocktails that were intricate and had very interesting flavors. The ceviche and empanadas are a must, so full of flavor and the empanadas were the perfect amount of crisp. I unfortunately forgot the name of the third dish but it was just okay.. the presentation was amazing but personally I wasn't a fan of the flavor. I cannot wait to come here for dinner and try more dishes and drinks in the future!! Our server Alex was very welcoming and made the experience even more enjoyable.

Date of visit: Sat, April 27 7pm As a fellow Peruvian, I was thrilled to try out this restaurant to get a taste of home. However, my excitement quickly turned into disappointment upon arrival. Despite being quoted a 45-minute wait, we received no updates after an hour, and even after two hours, still no word. The hostess seemed disinterested, which set a negative tone for the entire experience. As the face of the restaurant, her attitude greatly impacted our impression.

had high hopes for this place and wish i had a better experience here. came with a group of 4 on a Friday night (around their 3rd week of opening) & we made our reservations prior through Resy. first off, we were consistently getting pinged by Resy/the restaurant very frequently (nearly every 15 mins) despite having already checked in & confirming we were there. service in the actual restaurant was nice & the food/presentation was good, although we found the Paella de Mariscos & Paella de Carne to be pretty oily. it was also difficult to scoop the rice with the wooden serving spoons they provided, as they were cooked socarrat style, making it more more sticky on the pan. for apps, we ordered the Ceviche Mixto & Calamares con Garbanzos which were both refreshing. as for the speakeasy, we were pretty disappointed in the service. it took 50 minutes for us to get our drinks and prior to that, we were not checked up on at all. it look awhile to get menus + waters & have our order taken in general. the hostess was kind enough to extend the 90-minute seating limit, but it was frustrating seeing other tables who came in after us receive their drinks first. the cocktails themselves were also okay, nothing mind-blowing. though i think this spot has lots of potential, service, particularly for the speakeasy, seems to be a bit disorganized. i hope this becomes more resolved as the restaurant continues to grow.

3.5 stars for me, but I know given the beautiful decor, and it being the new kid on the block at Santana Row, most people in the area will try it at least once! We were able to walk in on a Friday night since south bay folks seem to stay hidden at any sign of rain/wind.... probably safer to make reservations on Resy next time! Decor is modern, chic, inviting with indoor and patio seating, great for a girls' night out or date night. Plenty of wine, beer, cocktail options- I liked my glass of Tempranillo which was medium bodied and a low tannin finish. Personally I felt like there wasn't a lot of variety on the menu in terms of the small plates- the basics of patatas bravas, tortillas, croquettes, and then variations of ceviche, chicken, potatoes. We had the chicken croquettes (they have vegetarian ones as well), which were very good. Comes with 4, and they are ooblong so bigger than at other places that serve them as smaller balls. Very creamy inside! No innuendos intended... Tomato Bread- also a pretty big serving with crisp french bread. The Tomato spread was SAD though, like the extremely thin spread of jam I might put on my kids' toast so that they don't eat too much sugar..... it wasn't chunky or thick or satisfying. Ceviche- my husband loved this, and this was certainly very flavorful with chunky raw fish. Paella annoyed me for a couple reasons. Just say they start at 60+ dollars, instead of pricing them in the 30s and noting a 2 serving mimimum... Other than that I felt like the seafood was a bit sparse for $64 dollars- a few pieces of mussels and shrimps that were so few (literally 4 shrimp and no other seafood or vegetables), that they have to be arranged to make the dish look more full. The flavoring of the rice was very good, but I'm not a fan of paying $64 for a pan of rice personally. Server was nice. They also have a hidden speakeasy for 21+ !

I liked the ambience and the plating more. The food can be better. Quick service. It can get crowded on weekends but they have outdoor seating as well.

About last night.... Here we go!! So the reservation is at 7pm lots of seating.... Party of 2 options outside or in the middle, but they take us all the way to the very last back seating. They sat us next to the bathroom. Hearing people wash hands and throwing up was not how I wanted to spend my evening. The manger on duty for the dinner had no empathy. The guy who runs the reservation for the "speak easy" he was so rude... rushing us out bc we didn't have a reservation but our waiter said they would walk us back there. Just beware you might get escorted out.

We went here for dinner and the speakeasy. Dinner: We ordered Tiradito de Pulpo (cold octopus) (4/5) Pan con Tomate (warm toast with fresh tomato) (4/5) Ceviche Mixto (white fish, shrimp, scallop and octopus ceviche) (5/5) Causa de Cangrejo y Camaron (purple potatoes with shrimp) (3/5) Fideua Negra (squid ink pasta with shrimp, squid and mussels) (1/5) Ceviche mixto was the winner out of the group. The flavors were perfectly balanced, would definitely recommend getting this. Overall, food was a 3/5. Speakeasy: We went to the speakeasy afterwards, you need to make reservations and have someone escort you inside. I ordered the Enchanted drink, which comes in a pretty shimmery pink color. Fruity and sweet, it does not have a strong alcohol taste which I liked. I would rate the speakeasy a 4/5.
