“We enjoyed our evening. It was raining and a Saturday in Memorial weekend and were able to get a reservation late afternoon for 7:30pm which usually unusual in DC. The cocktails were all superb including the mezcal cocktail, the gin cocktail, and the sangria. Definitely the best part. We did not order wine.
We ordered all vegetarian appetizers including the hummus(3/5 star), salad(4/5 star), carrots(4/5 star), tomatoe toast(4/5), Patatas bravas(5/5 star), entree roasted Cauliflower(4/5 star) and the vegetarian Paella(2/5 star as had too much beets and sweetness), flan(5/5 star), churros(4/5 star). It was a little dark and there were not many people this evening which was surprising. We enjoyed dinner for the five of us and was enjoyable. We parked in the Ritz colonial garage and received another ticket when leaving and parking was $10. Do not understand why they can’t comp us. It was pleasant but not out of world but I as enjoyable as healthy food with some good flavors. It was as about $90 a person total including tip reasonable for everyone who had a cocktail, apps, entrees and dessert in upscale DC restaurant. I would recommend a try as if ate fish or meat may be slightly better.“

“Excellent restaurant from all angles, a new DC/ Georgetown favorite.

The decor brightened an otherwise gloomy and stormy day. The service was efficient and friendly. Menu labeled for dietary restrictions and can ask server for help. The food (brunch prix fixe with burrata (no bread) and steak eggs) had the right flavors to waken the palate and satisfy the soul and the stomach. Kudos to the right amount of salt on each dish to highlight all the deliciousness. Cantaloupe to Spain was a balanced cocktail with unique flavors and smooth to drink.

Overall a memorable brunch experience and I'll be recommending to friends in and out of DC. Look forward to coming back.“

“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!“

“It's not often I come into DC and feel that the restaurant food and experience was worth it. But this restaurant was EXCEPTIONAL in every way. The plates were delicious, generous and beautifully presented. The cocktails were delicious and beautifully made. The atmosphere was pleasant and warm. The service was excellent and attentive. We were here to celebrate my friend‘s birthday and they accommodate us and made it very memorable. It's not often a restaurant will do nice things for someone birthdays these days.“

“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.“

“The place is amazing . The food is good“

“This is our 5th time doing Restaurant Week at Alabardero and the food never disappoints. We have always loved the paellas and croquettes. The service is amazing, super fast, and the interior decor is beautiful. I know some folks mention the paella doesn’t have the crispy rice in the bottom but personally I prefer that way. A good selection of mocktail options.“

“Hidden gem, although has been around forever! Beautiful restaurant, delicious food, attentive service. Spanish fine dining tucked away on 18th St NW just south of I St. I'd been wanting to try it, but was put off a little by high prices and white tablecloths. Don't worry, the vibe inside is more laid back than it looks, and the prices fairly reasonable. Happy Hour especially great way to try the cuisine - all delicious! After a few HH apps, we scaled back our ambitions and shared paella and desserts - left feeling very stuffed, happily so. Sangria and cocktails nice too. Very pretty; very nice staff. Definitely will return and recommend : )“

“An exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The food was outstanding, with the Beef Wellington as the clear highlight—simply perfect. The wine pairing was equally impressive and elevated every course. I highly recommend choosing the premium pairing; it is absolutely worth the additional cost. Xiquet is a special restaurant and one I would gladly return to.“
