Top Spanish Cafe & Catering

It's hard to describe how bad the food was. Let me start with what was great. Our server, Sean, was a delight. The bottle of wine we had was very good. We enjoyed the musical selection.We started with Jamison Iberico. It was fatty and stale with cold olives. The bread was like eating toasted white sandwich bread. The patatas bravas left us asking who could mess up potatoes. And mayonnaise not aoili which is typically served with this dish. We hopes that the paella would be better. Hubby ordered paella Valenciana(chicken, rabbit) and I ordered the paella vegetarian. The thing that is great a good paella is the complexity of flavors. There was no complexity here. And who had ever had a breaded chicken in their paella?!Perhaps it isn't as bad as we think it is....it just isn't at all authentic.

Went with my boyfriend this past Sunday in search of good paella. We were not disappointed! Our waiter was the manager himself, who is originally from Spain. We ordered the Agua de Valencia cocktail (champagne, vodka, gin and orange juice) and it was deceivingly delicious and quite strong. My boyfriend additionally got a special drink which was called 'Don't Marry a Woman from Tennessee' which had bourbon, muddled cherries and orange juice - also fantastic.The paella - after 20 min wait to cook from scratch - was full of seafood including shrimp, mussels, clams, scallops and white fish. The rice was the perfect level of doneness - soft but still firm - with lovely saffron and well seasoned.The restaurant was empty so we had the whole place to ourselves - a shame because the food is so good and the service is excellent. Street parking was free since it was a Sunday. Although this is in NW DC which is still not a great neighborhood, the area is gentrifying and I imagine this area will be very popular in the future.

My favorite place on Georgia Ave. Their tapas are amazing. Every time we visit we get better service. The owner is so sweet. I hope their business survives the pandemic

This is a cute place. The staff was super friendly. All the tapas we had were very yummy and they came out quickly. The only reason it gets four stars instead of five is because something we ate messed up our stomachs big time. It was all very good. We just paid for it later. We had:Tortillas espanolas: I would skip this, the flavor was bland Chicken in green sauce: so good, would definitely get again Spanish cheeses: all the cheese was good as well as the honey they serve on the side The warm bread they give you is very yummyWould definitely try again.

Went here for dinner on a Sunday night with a couple of friends, and we were so impressed by the food and service. The owner was so kind and really knows his stuff when it comes to food. We ordered a few tapas - the potatoes, mushrooms, spinach, calamari, chicken in green sauce, and garlic shrimp - and shared a bottle of Spanish wine. Everything was wonderful and so authentic - the chicken in particular was super tasty. The complimentary bread with olive oil was also lovely. Really no complaints about the food at all. The owner, who was also our waiter, was friendly and welcoming.This place is the definition of neighborhood gem...very few of the other tapas places in DC (and I've been to most of them!) can hold a candle to it. Really a charming little place -- will definitely be back to try the paellas and sangria.

Best Spanish seafood in DC area! Came here at the last date of 2019! This place definitely a gem in the neighborhood. The waiter is amazing. He's always smile and explain everything on the menu for you. Will definitely come again.

The food was authentic! The jamón ibérico was delicious. I wish I lived in DC so I could go every week! The paella was to die for and the drinks were on point. If you're in the DC area you need to hit this place up. I haven't been to many spanish restaurants in the US, usually they're knock offs or because certain ingredients are hard to get in parts of the US it usually throws the recipes off but this place was right on point! I'll be back next time I'm in DC for sure!

Been meaning to check this place out for a while because of all the good reviews. Got a couple drinks - both solid - and four of the vegetarian tapas. They were all excellent (mushrooms, tortilla Espanola, cheeses, papas bravas). The chef is super friendly and the prices are very reasonable. Will be coming back!

From the moment I called the place, agentleman by the name of Daniel answered and his hospitality made me feel like I was in Spain, he was super friendly and guided me thru the menu- when I got there he made me feel like I was walking inside my own House, very welcoming and accommodating. the PAELLLA is one of the best I have ever had in my life, the gambas the croquettes and patatas were amzing as well. this was my first time but It definitely won't be my last.. and Daniel deserves a raise, I thought he was the owner by the way he cares for every detail.

Great food! Great ambiance: feels like you're in EuropeOrdered: Seafood paella and Navarra style trout
