The Scene – Opened in 1868 as the Benevolent Spanish Society, the restaurant/social club exudes an Old World charm matched by few Manhattan eateries. The utilitarian back room is the joint's heart, with an open kitchen, televised Spanish soccer and a few chatty old men. The more formal front dining room with its red walls and imposing wood furniture attempts a warmer vibe. – – The Food – Classic tapas preparations anchor the menu.

Most Authentic Spanish Restaurant in NYC
by citilivin
If you are searching for a delicious authentic Spanish meal, look no futher. La Nacional's seafood casserole and sangria are amazing as are their classic paella dishes. It is a great place to dine, the inner dining area is very romantic and you feel like you have been transported to Spain. I highly recommend La Nacional to everyone!

Authentic Spanish food in relaxed atmosphere.
by at183
My husband and I go to this place regularly. He's from Spain and it's definitely the most authentic spanish food he's had here. Very unpretentious place and you can often find Spanish expatriates here which is a good sign. The paella is very good, as are the croquetas. And of course, the sangria is a bonus. Definitely recommended.
- Pros: Fairly cheap, relaxed, authentic
- Cons: Not many food options
