“Cannot say anything bad about the taste or quality of the food here. Our favorite was the shrimp ceviche which was delicious. However, compared to the other tapas places we have been to, the portion size for the price was generally a bit too low, especially for the seafood paella.“

“Tl; dr: Kema by Kenaki continues the tradition of really good sushi started by its owners a few years ago in Gaithersburg. I have now been to Kema a few times, and the food is always fresh, and well prepared. Love all the crudos, and the beet salad. The pricing for the chirashi is a bit inexplicable but good food. Also, as a partially disabled person, I am always grateful when I can call a restaurant and ask them to bring my order to the car and they are happy to do so.“

“Looking for great Tapas? This is your place! Wide selection of tapas, and they also offer full entrees. The great thing about their small plates to share is that you are able to taste a complete gamma of delicious food (seafood, poultry, meats, and veggies). Service is attentive and friendly. At the bar, you may encounter Kenza and Oscar, both enthusiastic and welcoming. Thank you both for the friendly service. Recommended: tapas -- duck confit, beef short rib, tempura fried shrimp, grilled octopus, lamb shanks, beet salad. The sangria is nice and refreshing -- neither too sweet nor too strong. From the Charcuterie section, the chorizo and manchego cheese go nicely together. The restaurant setting is intimate with dimmed lighting, touches of metal, wood on walls, bar, and flooring. When full, it gets a bit loud. Ambiance is relaxed. There are 2 TVs at the bar. Satisfy your Tapas craving at Botanero.“

“We tried at the restaurant for the first time and we had a good experience. It is good to make reservations as the restaurant gets pretty busy. We ordered several items and some of them were good and others ok. The fried potatoes, fish and calamari, and the churros were great. The seafood paella, chicken, zucchini, and mushrooms were okay. The place is pretty cozy, and the service is good. The restaurant is on the expensive side but it is good for dining.“
