Three of us had a perfect dining experience. The dining room is well designed, and it is easy to hear one's companions. The service is crisp and professional. We enjoyed the soup of the day and several tapas, all of which were great. The fried eggplant drizzled with honey were a unique, terrific surprise. Can't wait to go back and have this dish again. One of us was celebrating a birthday, and there was a lovely card on the table when we arrived, and 2 plates of dessert nibbles arrived at the end of the meal. And, a short walk to the Metro was refreshing after dinner! We'll be back soon.
We loved the decor and feel. The food was quite good, but I found the service to be very slow. There were long delays, and it took a while to get our check. Overall, I'd definitely go back though!
Ambience was fantastic for date night. The food was in general excellent i.e. the appetizers we had, my wife's entree and our deserts. My entree however wasn't so good - the octopus. I had incedible octopus once in Portugal and have been trying to find something similar, but this restuarant's version was the worst that I have ever come across.
I had a wonderful first meal here. Having lived in DC for close to 20 years I am kicking myself for not trying this restaurant sooner. The staff was so welcoming and the service was great. Favorite dish was probably the Spanish omelet. 10/10!
As always, the food and service at this restaurant is superlative. This is a true treasure in the DC restaurant scene.
Wonderful food, exquisite service in an amazing environment. A perfect restaurant for a special occasion.
This remains a favorite restaurant in DC. The service is elegant and the food is authentic. The wine list is smart and extensive, and the ambience is old-world at its best.
The waiters spoke too fast with a heavy accent and were impossible to understand over the din. Also, the parking ticket which I asked to be validated did not work as promised, so I ended up paying for parking. If I had known I would have parked on the street. The food was very good and I love the look of this restaurant, but the whole experience was not a pleasant one and I won't be going back.
Wonderful restaurant. Great food - many choices and all expertly prepared. Service was superior and the atmosphere was very enjoyable. Having been to Spain in many parts of the country and I can definitely attest that it is truly authentic. I look forward to returning!
Fantastic Spanish restaurant! Gambas Al ajillo is my favorite tapa. So good!!! But everything is good here. And the service is impeccable. Highly recommend!

The waiters here are excellent! They always make us feel so special and the food is wonderful!
We went to celebrate my bd and it was wonderful. Love that place, design, food, service. Everything about the restaurant is outstanding. I recommend it 100%.
Everything was amazing, from the ambiance to the service, to the food, to the flamenco dancers.
I appreciate their desire to provide entertainment but the flamenco dancing was too loud and made it difficult to have a conversation.
Excellent food and service!! Had several appetizers and salmon for the entree, all were delicious! Will definitely come back!!
