We had a reservation for 8PM, and were not seated until 8:40PM. Of course we understand that sometimes some extra time is needed, but 40 minutes was crazy... on top of one of our guests requiring seating due to an ankle/achilles injury. Once seated, TWO waiters proceeded to step on said injury (left ankle) and did not apologize once. We were incredibly frustrated, as none even acknowledged. The guest was in an incredible amount of pain. Every other experience I have had at this establishment has been great, but will reevaluate my patronage and recommendations after such poor treatment from the facility and staff. Nonetheless, the food was great and our specific waiter was great with accommodating for allergies in our party. Really unfortunate that in general, the quality of service goes down during the dinner rush.

Was here with a friends for a bday dinner. It was absolutely delicious from drinks to mains and to dessert. We had their private room and it was so great to make all the noise in there. Totally recommend everything but our favorites was the croquettes, patatas bravas, shrimp in garlic and the salad. But totally do the omakase pre doze meal they have. Let them do all the thinking. Sit back and drink and stuff your face. Can't wait to go back. Service was phenomenal too!!

I never leave reviews but I just had to for this restaurant. an absolute 10/10 if you have the opportunity to go, you have to. They were one of the only restaurants to take my big party res of 13 and they made it exceptional. The staff was lively and fun and caring. They made the experience so special and fun. the food was WOW. im probably the biggest barcelona wine bar fan of all time but this knocked it off its pedestal.

While the food was good and the bar atmosphere was lively and enjoyable, I couldn't help but feel that the restaurant fell short of delivering an authentic Spanish Boqueria experience.The bartender were friendly and knowledgeable, crafting great cocktails and we love their wine selection. The food was good with a great elements of the Spanish cuisine but there was no Spanish music or elements that could make the difference with any other American-Contemporary restaurant in the city.

The place is good, good atmosphere and very nice decoration and facilities, the food is expensive and a small portion for the price. I expected much more, I wouldn't return.

Great atmosphere, love the music! Me and the bestie on a girls weekend to celebrate St. Patrick Day. We sat at the bar. I had a white sangria which was perfect. My friend ordered an Allagash white Belgian-style wheat beer. Since we were barhopping, we decided To just share an appetizer to keep our stomachs coated. We settled on the Patatas Braves, which were absolutely delicious . Soran our super handsome, but much too young for me, even if I wasn’t happily married , bartender was friendly and helpful when inquiring about upcoming festivities. All in all , I’ll be stooping again on my next trip up here.

Made a reservation for 2, then when we are arrived we were told they were running behind so either we could take a communal table or wait about 20 minutes for a table. We said we didn't mind waiting 20 minutes for the table at all, so after waiting 20 minutes we were thanked for waiting and got put in a communal table and ignored our request of another table. We had no problem sitting at a communal table at all, but making us wait 20 minutes after having a reservation with the impression that waiting would get us a private table was quite unfortunate. The food was great and our waitress was awesome.

I loved my dinner here! I got two drinks - peacock mocktail spiked with fine and rose sangria. I liked the peacock one most. For tapas I tired ham croquetas, broccoli, eggplant dip, octopus, and lamb skewers. I loved all of them, but the croquettas and broccoli were the best. The restaurant is pretty on the inside and the service is great.

Great service and vibe! The food was delicious and the atmosphere fun, high energy!
This place slaps. Staff is so so nice. Food comes out fast and sangria rose is so good!! Cute atmosphere with great bites. The chicken was so yummy, potato's bravas were delicious, and the mushroom croquetas omg! Pan con tomate was mid. Manager gave us a free steak plate since oven was broken last visit which was so wonderful!!

My partner and I have gone twice now to the Boston location of Boqueria and have generally enjoyed our experience. The cocktails are always a hit, always a big fan of their sangrias and G&Ts. We've tried various tapas now, all of which have been satisfying. The croquettes - both the mushroom and the jamon - are incredible and we'd recommend those always. We usually split the medium sized paella which is delicious and with a good amount of seafood (better than Barca wine bar in our opinion). Churros are always a fun dessert choice but nothing particularly unique. Overall expensive but a fun and yummy place to dine

Overall phenomenal experience and I highly recommend. First time dining at Boqueria and will definitely be coming back. A huge shoutout to Adrian, Zach, and Raymond for incredible hospitality. Adrian had us laughing out of our seats and they all treated us like family. To start off, the margarita de rosas was delicate, yet punchy with delicious flavors and rose undertones. The hard tequila taste was masked beautifully, but you could still tell it was in the drink, which was great. I'm a huge margarita fan and this was definitely up there for all time best. I don't like peppers so I was apprehensive to try the shoshito peppers but they were truly unique and flavorful - I can't stop thinking about them. The flaky salt made them exceptional. We ordered the octopus and it was definitely a standout - cooked to perfection and a plate that was very well put together. Will definitely be getting this again the next time I come. Thank you for an amazing experience and you'll be seeing us again soon!!
