Tapas Restaurants near Bethesda, MD

“Cute setting for group gatherings and date nights! Food was light yet yummy!“

“I wanted to like Spanish Diner since I'm a huge fan of Jaleo and of Jose Andres, but the food was so lacking in finesse and taste, even for a diner. Patatas bravas was drowning in tomato sauce (I could barely taste the potato or aoli) and the bacalao over eggplant and tomato sauce had little flavor. The ham and cheese was tasty, but nothing to say "Spain" about it...mediocre food accompanied by a hefty price tag will keep me from going back. I'm so sad that Jose Andres missed the mark on this one, unfortunately.“

“Everything was perfect, the service, food and cocktails! Look forward to returning.“

“My favorite restaurant. The food and drink are delicious. Reyna and Nico make you feel like family and they cater too. I often have them make food when I go to a party.You must try them out, just a lot of fun.Dietary restrictions: I am allergic to shellfish and they are extremely careful and safe.Kid-friendliness: They love kids of all ages.Wheelchair accessibility: Very easy to get in and be comfortable“

“Had dinner before the Oh He Dead concert on Saturday December 17, 2022. We arrived a little before our seating and immediately were greeted and taken to our spots. Ian was outstanding! He was attentive, descriptive and helped create a good experience. Dan, our bartender, was magnificent. He created delectable cocktails and we also chatted along the way (we had bar seats which I highly recommend). This was very reasonably priced, we left very filled and happy. I want to give the highest possible compliments to Ian and Dan. The entire experience was perfect, largely because of the great food, but they took the experience well beyond a 1 star evening!“

“This is a pretty good place to eat! The food was delicious. Service at the bar was great! We ordered around 6 tacos and the enchiladas and it was super tasty! I will say it is on the pricier end, and portions are small compared to a typical Mexican restaurant, but it was perfect for us. 10/10 would come here again.“

“Wife and I live in DC. We go 4 or 5 times per year. Best dinning experience in DC. Don’t even read the menu. Let Bonnie great server, just bring you food and wine pairings. Blow you away. We usually sit at the upstairs bar. Chefs table was great as well. The wine flight is worth every penny. Bring your Amex!“

“It was fabulous! I loved how much thought went into the meal and the whole place showed the care and love behind the creations. The food and service were spectacular!“

“We were really amazed and enjoyed our visit. Great staff and amazing food!“

“Had a great experience. I would definitely come back next time we are in DC.“

“Bottom line up front, Cranes is a MUST for DC’s Winter Restaurant Week! From the hostess's accommodation of our late arrival, friendly greeting, and front door coat check to our waiter’s, Elmer, and wait staff’s attentive service throughout our visit, Cranes was superb! The Faux-jito, Squash Hummus, Ramen, and Iberico Pork Fried Rice were fantastic! When there was a problem with our bill, it was quickly resolved. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend!!!“

“Was here for lunch, after a long drive from New York. Had a great time! The place looks amazing. Modern minimalism, yet so comfortable. Noel, our server was great! Friendly, nice, knowledgeable, and helpful. The drinks selection is also great, and they have mocktails which was great for my daughter. Overall, our visit was so great!“

“This place is amazing! My partner and I sat at the bar. The bar attenders who waited on us were so friendly and helpful. The Som helped us picked out a bottle of wine as well.We split the focaccia, arancini, fusilli, and the pork Milanese. All very good and I love how simple their menu is.I am 1000% going to be craving the Pork Milanese again very soon. This place wasn’t cheap by any means but it was reasonable for the quality, great for a date night or special occasion.“

“A very special place for a nice Sunday brunch. They have $8 cocktails from 12pm-4pm on Sundays and for happy hours. The food was a little wait but worth every minute. The staff was fun and attentive. I was also very pleased by the portion sizes.Some of the favorites at the table was the catfish--both of the fried and blackened variations. The potato salad and collard greens were popular sides and you dont want to skip the cornbread!Parking: You will have to find parking in the surrounding neighborhood. If someone has physical mobility challenges, plan to provide assistance with entering and exiting the restaurant.“

“Todo exquisito y un ambiente muy bueno . Gracias por dejarme volver a mi país por un rato ♥️“

“This place is gorgeous! The cocktails are delicious and the food is excellent as well. Our server Rey was the absolute best, he went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time here and did not disappoint. We are totally coming back here!“

“Did the cocktail mixing class. Great food and awesome experience!“

“I went to Sabores with friends for Restaurant Week. We had an incredible experience from beginning to end. Everything was delicious and the servings were more than generous. We left fully satisfied, and I know I will be back again and again! I highly recommend the roasted beet salad, the churrasco, and the passion fruit cheesecake. My friends loved the pan con jamon, the bacon wrapped dates, and the arepitas. Really, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu! The service was impeccable, and the ambiance was beautiful. I loved that we could hold a conversation without yelling across the table at each other. Many thanks to all the wonderful staff and the manager/owner, Ale, who took such wonderful care of us.“

“One of the best sushi places in the DMV area and I've been to a lot of sushi places!They have nice portions. Their Black Magic is amazing. Their belly bun is good and I just recommend everything on their menu super flavorful and awesome service.“

“This is a really sweet cafe with delicious pastries and a full menu of Armenian food. The space itself is really inviting and comfortable and the staff are friendly. I highly recommend the Mountain Tea which is made with thyme and is really unique. I always stop in for one when I'm walking by!“

“Great service with no waiting!“

“Seen this place while exploring Virginia with the family. The place was completely booked and the lady at the front 'Sun' was extremely friendly and nice enough to fit us in. She made us feel so welcomed and we had a great time trying a few happy hour wine selections! Definitely coming back in the future to try some food.“

“We were at Botanero for Todd and Angie’s wedding last night and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it! The amazing food, very attentive wait staff and great atmosphere made their evening great! It was our first time there and we will be back for dinner soon! Thanks for making their evening and ours a special one!“

“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!“

“What a wonderful place! Great atmosphere, delicious drinks and desserts, and incredibly knowledgeable and friendly staff (Morgan blew us away with her scotch knowledge). Two thumbs up!“

“We had an amazing dinner with great atmosphere watching flamenco dance, the food was mind blowing, as well as the service and drinks. I got lamb chopsticks and a dessert, all was high quality, we spent around 2-3 hours there and absolutely loved the experience, thank you!“

“Love the Art and reasonable pricing“

“Excellent back patio, probably the best shawarma I've ever had, and a selection of drinks.Parking: Paid lot right next door but the metro lot is free on weekends and just down the street, or take the metro- less than a 10 minute walk from the station.“

“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.“

“I have gone for happy hour at the bar around 7 times now and have tried all of the items on the menu. The happy hour menu is not only absolutely delicious, but super affordable and provides a great selection of food. I also often tend to end my happy hour meal with their churros (not on the happy hour menu) as they are fantastic. The nutella and dulce de leche are heavenly.The bartenders are also amazing to talk to and are very attentive.I highly recommend this place to everyone!“

“Great food and fantastic staff“

“The manager came by and asked us how the food was and we weren’t yet prepared but since he was asking for feedback on the new brunch items I will provide here. I got the avocado toast and it was a tad small, not bad but yeah so I ordered a medium fried and it was over cooked but the waitress seemed weird that I ordered an egg when most avocado toasts around here come with an egg. But the actual avocado toast was very good just needs to have a little more substance with an egg or something. And then my friend ordered the omelette and it was so small. I think it was one egg only and most omelette are three eggs. But she said it was good just not very filling.“

“My husband, myself, and our three sons dined here last night. It was a such a wonderful and unique experience from start to finish. We had the pasta paella, the oxtail croquettas, the pork belly bao, the ceviche for dinner. For dessert we had the jelly like pie, the cafecito, and the chocolate and mango/passion fruit ice creams. The music and atmosphere were so dreamy. The decor was so beautifully interlaced together with tropical plants and midcentury modern furniture and fixtures. We will be back on our next trip to the DC area.“

“As a vegetarian, this place is SPECTACULAR! Lots of yummy & filling veggie options with a ton of drink pairings — sizes are great for sharing or to have on your own. The food is fresh and thoughtfully curated.I made reservations for the husband’s 30th birthday and the staff were SO welcoming and attentive. We arrived a few minutes late but the staff was so flexible. They even wrote a small handwritten card for our table congratulating him & adding a complimentary dessert on the house. Our expectations were absolutely blown away! Can’t wait to come again!!“

“um ambiente perfeito, a comida gostosa como as bebidas“

“Excelente lugar para despejar la mente y divertirte ala grande viendo tanta mujeres lindas“

“Amazing food and service.“

“Wine store and bar in one. Relaxed ambiance and great wine. The bar gets pretty full around 4-5 but for good reason everyone likes to hangout here especially after work. If you end up really liking a wine you can buy a bottle from the store section which I appreciated“

“Went for my birthday and while it was expensive for two drinks for two people ($100), for a special occasion this is perfect. Jordan made the heck out of our drinks. Amazing views of the wharf, the Jefferson memorial and parts of DC. Great atmosphere, drinks, and vibes. Friendly staff. Attentive. Would 100% return again“

“the food was great and the drinks were good“

“Had a beautiful evening, sitting outside in Dupont Circle and enjoying dinner. The meatballs, grilled octopus, and asparagus were fantastic. Highly recommended. Also enjoyed croquettes and bacon wrapped dates. Perfect setting for eating outdoors when the weather is good.“

“I visited Miss Toya"s Creole on Saturday September 30th. I took my oldest son for his birthday ?. My waitress Hope gave excellent customer service. The food was awesome as always. The manager Imai came to our table numerous times to make sure everything was good. Please go to Miss Toyas in Silver Springs Md the food and customer service will not disappoint you.“

“Came for some after work drinks with a friend after we both had a rough day. Even with it being slammed for a Tuesday the staff were incredible. Our bartender Taylor had the best recommendations, made sure to double check with us if we had any allergies and was generally just very kind and we didn’t feel rushed to leave as you can feel in some DC bars.We will definitely be coming back.“

“Cute atmosphere, good food and drinks.“

“It's very good but I had the bad experience that in the end they remove the people who are already aggressively taken, and the d3 security who is supposed to guard only the entrance was chasing the drunks out of the place, it seemed unnecessary to me, really, not much I recommend “

“Dinner here on our last night in the DC area and it was delicious! You can’t go wrong with any of the dishes, we are a family of 6 so tried several but the gnocchi and penne pollo were excellent! The pizza was also a hit. Even if you’re stuffed, try a dessert. Again, we loved them all. The tiramisu, cannolis, chocolate cake, and cherry gelato were the perfect ending to our meal. Great, friendly service with a cozy atmosphere and exceptional food. Definitely recommend! All 4 kids agree!“

“Caution. They do not honor reservations.“

“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.“

“Delicious food. Great service.“

“Absolutely delightful experience! I indulged in the brioche French toast, paired with a refreshing beet drink. Both were delicious, the staff were incredibly attentive, and the ambiance was wonderfully pleasant. Will definitely be returning!“
