Ah, okay. Well, for Spanish I would agree with what already has been posted and add Tapas On Ann in Hartford, on - uh, Ann street. lol http://www.tapasonline.com

Don't forget about Agave in downtown which is kind of a Spanish/Mexican/Southwestern mix. I know you said "not Mexican" but this really isn't "Mexican" as most know it. http://www.agavehartford.com

BUT for a real experience if you have never been to Braza on Farmington Avenue you have to go. Great - no, make that AWESOME Brazillian restaurant that is a resurected theater. You won't be disappointed for sure, I simply love the place and never get tired of it.

While good restaurants, the food at all three is nothing like Spanish food (meaning from Spain). The first time I went to Tapas I was expecting typical Spanish tapas and found the name a misnomer, it's all Greek (though it is a good restaurant if you want Greek food). Agave is great but I have found nothing remotely Spanish there, and Braza is churasco typical of southern Brazil (and Argentina and Uruguay too).

For Spanish food I would say Costa del Sol and Barcelona are the only two that offer it in the Hartford area. Costa del Sol also offers some of the regional plates such as bacalao (which is big in Galicia). It's a shame that many Americans aren't familiar with food from Spain, I'm headed to Gran Canaria in 2 months so I can't wait to get some.
