Spanish Restaurants in Washington, DC

“Unreal 5 star arrive and food . I agree Michelin for sure“

“Check out my sister’s spot!! The wine is divine and the food selection is on point! Can’t wait till they start shipping to MD. You won’t be disappointed. ☺️☺️☺️“

“Great atmosphere with elegant decor. Went for Valentine's Day, so our experience may just be due to them being busy. We were seated late, and the waiter was rushing. Our reservation was for 10:45 PM, so I assume they just wanted to close. Other than that we had the Tapas menu, which offered some really good options. We enjoyed the garlic shrimp, lamb meatballs, potatoes, and snapper the most. The star of the night, hands down, was the Churro dessert. To our surprise this was not your traditional churro. A churro in the shape of a hollow cupcake filled with ice cream and escorted by a side of warm chocolate for you to drizzle. CHEF'S KISS! Overall, a good experience that could have been great if the service was better, but I will attribute that to it being a very busy night.“

“Ahhhh I can’t explain how much I miss you food guys you are amazing and soon withen this year I’ll be back to the city and for sure I’ll be visiting you, I advice you to visit them if in town the staff is amazing and supportive and the atmosphere is wonderful and the food is outstanding“

“Always a pleasure to come to the Taberna! Extra interesting restaurant week menu this time around. I had the artichoke main -- unusual, different, good. Tasty Tempranillo crianza. Espresso was just right o finish off relaxed meal. Fun to sit in the more cozy back room on a cold day. Small quibble -- would have been nice to see a hot soup on the menu.“

“If you’re looking for a place that serves up dry ciders, look no further. You have to order everything online and they bring it out to you. I’ll definitely return to buy some more ciders to-go.“

“Don’t let Atxondo’s modest looks deceive you. I was skeptical but some friends wanted to try this place so I went along. I was very pleasantly surprised. We ate vegetarian and everything was excellent. I can recommend the brussel sprouts, tortilla española, crispy potatoes, coliflor, golden beets, fried shishitos, and risotto. I almost forgot to mention the interesting drink menu and the best flan I’ve ever had. Service was great too. Go with a group so you can try everything!“

“This is a neighborhood restaurant on Georgia Avenue, suitable for family and friend mesls, lunch or dinner. The menu is excellent and the plate presentations are beautiful. Big screen TV's are strategically placed in all directions, should you be a sports afficiando. In the evening the second floor becomes place latinx music. There is a bar and restrooms. The basement sports billards, food and music. The service is warm and friendly. It is not yet total ADA disability friendly to wheelchairs. The new ownership indicates possibly to make those improvements in the future. Until then, carryout is still very good.“

“This is a truly exceptional restaurant. The food was outstanding; service was equally exceptional; the little touches the restaurant added for Valentine's Day was wonderful. For Valentine's Day dinner, they greeted waiting guests with complimentary Cavas and long-stemmed roses. The food was truly outstanding. We love good Spanish tapas, and the dishes we had (pork belly, crispy eggplants, Spanish cheese board, and wild mushroom from the "sides" section) were all better than those we've had at even some of our favorite Spanish restaurants in the region. The pork belly that they prepared using their own house style was especially memorable: crispy, perfectly seasoned, good texture. The seafood paella with lobster was also a wonderful surprise. It came with a whole lobster, and the table-side presentation was a very nice touch for the special dish. We were disappointed they didn't have the flamenco dancing that they supposedly normally have on regular Saturday nights, but before we could ask about it, one of the staff explained that because there were so many guests, they didn't have the space that they usually do to accommodate the dancing. That was understandable, and my wife and I will definitely have to come back for the dancing and to try more dishes from their menu. We would highly recommend Taberna del Alabardero for special occasions or just good food.“

“Amazing place! We had a baby shower there and could not be more than perfect. The food and service were incredible. Tanya is a great manager and very helpful. We couldn’t be more than happy.“

“Food, service, and atmosphere were top notch. Would definitely go back.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
River Club – Georgetown

I had an excellent experience at River Club. The food was outstanding, with beautiful presentation and dishes that were clearly prepared with dedication and full of flavor. Every plate looked amazing and tasted even better.

The service was great from start to finish—attentive, professional, and welcoming. The bartender was phenomenal, crafting exceptional drinks that truly elevated the experience.

Overall, a fantastic dining experience with great food, amazing drinks, and top-notch service. Highly recommend!“

“What a fantastic evening! The hits never stopped from the beginning to the end. Such attention to detail with each dish. The Iberic Wellington is something I will not soon forget. Also very much enjoyed the wine pairing and thoughtful notes on each pour. Thank you for a lovely night, Chef Danny!!“
