“The food was absolutely spectacular the chicken was crispy, juicy and flavorful. Upon entering, the wonderful and kind host saw the Popeyes shrimp I was holding and promptly gave me some of his own at no charge. The shrimp were delicious and textured. The Mac and cheese was cheesy, tasty and full of texture. The chicken was clean and tender. The host was so incredibly kind and provided us with complimentary drinks. The service truly elevated the overall experience and was incredible.“

“Good service, good food and awesome drinks!“

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

“We ate on the ground floor and were surprised at how quiet it was. Even though the restaurant was mostly full, we were able to talk and enjoy conversation throughout dinner. The food was fantastic. The mussels were prepared differently than we usually have them and they were fantastic. From the minute we walked into the restaurant the staff were all very friendly and helpful.“

“We’ve been going to SER for several years now especially for family celebrations. The food and service is always excellent. I highly recommended SER for any occasion!“

“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.“

“Excelente lugar, la comida, la atencion en especial la de Federico, nos dio muy burnas recomendaciones, es excelente.“

“The place is amazing . The food is good“

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

“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.“

“Really good. Went for a girls night. Got like all the mezze and a bunch of cocktails and the lamb for the table. Everything was Amazing. Standouts were chicken skewers and beef carpaccio. O m g. The carpaccio. Omg. Tiffany our server was so awesome and nice and prompt and really really sweet we liked her a LOT. Tableside Martini was unlike any i had before. Cantelope to spain cocktail was a hit. Would def go back. Super cute on the inside with super comfortable chairs and not too loud or too quiet. I was really really happy“

“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!“

“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.“

“I don’t usually write reviews—when I do, it’s because the experience was either exceptionally bad or truly outstanding. This one might be a bit long, so let’s start from the beginning. It’s been 10 years since I moved to Virginia, and I have to say, I love it here. That said, I do miss the beaches and the incredible food from Miami. Ever since I moved, I’ve been searching for the perfect spot—a place where both the food and the service are amazing. Let’s be honest, that’s hard to find. Often, the food is great but the service is just okay, or the service is excellent but the food falls short. When looking for a place to celebrate my wedding anniversary, a few options came up, and one of them was Sabores Tapas Bar. Unfortunately, I couldn’t make it there at the time and ended up going to two other places—one was okay, the other was awful. Later, I told my wife we needed to try Sabores, maybe on New Year’s Day. Again, we ended up at a “safe” spot we like to visit. The food and service were good, but it was just our usual go-to. Fast forward to last week: my best friend from Puerto Rico came to visit with his family. He loves to eat, and his wife can be hard to please. This time, we decided to go to Sabores Tapas Bar. I’ll admit, I was nervous—I wanted them to have a great experience, but pleasing everyone is never easy. Finally, we went. What can I say? The food was amazing, and the service was just as incredible. It was so good we couldn’t stop eating. I had high expectations—growing up, my house was always full because my friends came over for my mom’s cooking. She’s an amazing cook. Mom, forgive me for saying this, but Sabores Tapas Bar is as good as, if not better than, your cooking, and the service was amazing. Wow. I’ve found the place. It’s so good that I want to go back and try dishes I normally don’t like, just to see if they can make me love them. I can’t wait to return. My taste buds have found the love of their life at Sabores Tapas Bar.“

“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 : )“

“Service and food were very excellent!!!!“
