Highly recommend sitting by the kitchen to watch the chefs in action. Definitely try the homemade G&T's, tortilla espanola and sautéed shrimps.Waiters are super friendly and knowledgable.

The closest thing to eating at your (amazingly talented) friend's home. Try the tapas, or paella on Wednesdays, & ask your server to recommend a different Sherry for each dish, esp if you're a novice

In a bold departure from juniper-heavy gin & tonics, the gintonic here combines Old Raj gin, which has a tinge of saffron, with house-made tonic, infused with oranges, thyme and bitter bay leaf. Read more

A must for tapas lovers. The steamed mussels will blow your socks away. Who would have thought mussels and chorizo are the ultimate combo. Jamón ibérico de cinco jotas is worth the premium price.

Plan ahead to avoid long waits at this super popular tapas spot. Make sure to get the roast corn during the warm months and the crispy brussel sprouts in the off season.

Cocktails are fantastic - expect to have to wait outside for 30 minutes or so, drive they don't take reservations unless you're party is 6 or larger. Worth the wait. Scallops are to die for.
Jeremy COctober 6, 2015
Arrive by 6p if you don't have a reservation (and they only take reservations for 6+ after 6p) to beat the crowd. The chilled tomato gazpacho and hanger steak are excellent choices.
Loren WorsleyMarch 14, 2015
Escalivada sandwich so good we ordered it twice. Brussels sprouts and crispy cod close runner ups, plus the armpit sweet quince jam cheesecake, and elderflower mixed drinks! Pricey but incredible.

Excellent! But come with a heavy wallet and be prepared to spend. Everything meticulously prepared and seasoned. Loud. Small parties. Dinner only. No reservations.
M. Nicole SiobalMarch 7, 2011
The best tapas I've had in DC. Their pork belly is amazingly tasty and flavorful. Another must try- tortilla de patatas, croquetas and chorizo. The most authentic and best quality tapas I've had in ye

Pork belly sandwiches are mind blowing. Bring your own wine - Steak entree and sautéed kale were amazing! Try to get seat near windows to watch craziness of DC walk by! Manchego cheesecake - yum.
Pat RussoDecember 29, 2016
IMO the best tapas in D.C. I've been several times but brunch is probably my favorite. GoTos include the smoked salmon bocadillo, chorizo hash, and slow roasted pork. Enjoy!
Serious EatsAugust 14, 2013
Basque tapas, charcuterie, and other small plates with a bar menu that includes traditional ciders, sherry cocktails, and a bevy of other Spanish beverages.
Alice HuJanuary 5, 2015
Great tapas and delicious gin and tonics. Reservations up until 6pm... You have to wait for anything later.
Colleen NJanuary 11, 2014
From Washingtonian: watermelon slushito, mini pork belly and pickled pepper sandwich, scrambled eggs with mushrooms and goat cheese, manchego cheeseburger, country bread with honey butter
SunainaAugust 30, 2015
Everything was so delish. Def get the lamb shoulder, jamon fig, foie gra, egg tortia... Worth every penny... Must try with a small group of friends
Richard RevillaApril 23, 2015
Brunch is amazing for all different tastes on the menu. Have a mojito to top it off. Decor really symbolizes the Spanish culture.
Lionel MadiouJune 22, 2014
Sauteed shrimp and mussels w/ chorizo are a must...so is the braised bacon! Make sure to have a Tecolate if you're looking for a strong but fresh cocktail.
Ruth KFebruary 22, 2015
Everything is good and fresh. My go-tos...Mussels; shishito peppers, squid; chicken and rice. Refreshing cocktails. Haven't been blown away by desserts.
Travel + LeisureJanuary 4, 2013
An ode to tapas in a chic, loftlike space. The roasted shishito peppers and the montadito (a Spanish open-faced sandwich) of duck and foie gras are menu highlights.
Kevin SchultzJanuary 2, 2015
A seat at bar watching the prep is fun. But a warning: you will have a thin layer of cooking oil all over if you're too close! I enjoyed everything - just shouldn't have worn something dry clean only!
Trevor MApril 13, 2015
Hanger steak, duck, fried cod, and brussels sprouts were my favorites. Be careful - your bill can add up quickly with all these yummy small plates!
Kat LDecember 31, 2013
Beet goat cheese sandwich is a must. Papayas bravas were tasty. Next time Try tortilla espanola, foie gras sandwich, spicy chix, and crispy pork belly.

Go here for the phenomenal food, but drinks program is no slouch thanks to Adam Bernbach. Great g&t made w/ Old Raj gin + housemade tonic; saffron hints in Old Raj are good call for a Spanish place.
Washington PostOctober 16, 2013
True to its name, this Spanish retreat in Logan Circle can be noisy as a "stadium" at full tilt. But good small plates and sherry cocktails are worth any ruckus.
AmateurConciergeMarch 20, 2018
Solid Spanish tapas. Contrary to the hype, the cauliflower (add salt) is better than the Brussels sprouts (which are overly sweetened)
Steven AndrophyAugust 17, 2012

Better than Jaleo and cheaper! The pintxos, gazpacho and pan con tomate are amazing. Don't forget to save room for the awesome manchego cheesecake at the end!
Alex MecumOctober 1, 2016
This place is phenomenal. Get the creamy polenta, sausage and eggs for brunch. Along with everything else on the menu.
Jamie StelterSeptember 29, 2013
It smells like Barcelona up in here! Don't miss the blue crab jalapeno toast, patatas bravas, shrimp, and chargrilled scallions. Oh and hello, rosemary-infused tequila.
Abbie WApril 2, 2013
Everything I had was delicious. I would say the pistachio slushy and brussels sprouts are not to be missed. Sitting at the kitchen bar was fun.
Matt BernsteinFebruary 8, 2015
Every dish we ordered was delicious. My favorites were the scallops with cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and shishito peppers.

Great date place. Saffron infused old raj cocktail with citrus is one of the best in the city. Get ramps when in season.
Karla De VitaMarch 22, 2015
The braised beef short rib is amazing, the manchego...the butternut squash soup...en fin, everything is delicious!

Start with an Old Raj, move onto the Heirloom tomatoes and Goat Cheese Motadito, Soft Shell Crab, Halibut and/or Flank Steak. Finish it off with the Nitella or Fig Tart.
Ian BAugust 5, 2018
Terrific food. Been twice, both times great. Highlights were spiced calamari and an exquisite roast corn dish
TeresaJuly 18, 2015
The raspberry slushito was delicious. The pan-seared halibut and garlic shrimp were perfectly cooked!
Washingtonian MagazineJanuary 9, 2012
Chef Karoum’s Spanish-influenced cooking doesn’t flaunt whiz-bang techniques or trendy ingredients—it’s made for everyday eating. Still, he’s making some of the most exciting food we’ve had this year.
Duncan McIntyreDecember 30, 2014
Loved the homemade gin and tonics followed by spanish classics Tortilla Española and Croquetas de Jamon!
Laura NevilleFebruary 17, 2013
If you can sit at the chefs bar in the back it's fun to watch them at work! An the cranberry slushito is amazing.
Brunch and the CityJanuary 22, 2012
The soft scrambled eggs with goat’s cheese, mushrooms and scallions was excellent -- the goat cheese was so good I wanted to eat it with a spoon Read more

Delicious tapas & friendly service. Perfect for special occasions.
Justine PetrenkoMarch 16, 2012
After moving from Spain (Barcelona) I was a little bit worried about moving to Washington DC but this restaurant makes me feel back home :D If you a chance sit right by the kitchen, its more fun!
Chris SwansonOctober 12, 2013
Sat at the bar and got great advice and conversation from two of the bartenders. Excellent food and even better Gintonics!
Max WennekerJune 28, 2016
Charcuterie board. Pork belly sandwich. Baby chorizo and chips. Churros. Half price wine on Mondays.
Roman ShumanJuly 25, 2010
Best tapas in dc, blows Bodega, Jaleo, and La Tasca away. Everything we ordered was awesome and the pricing is def reasonable. Only thing that was not up to par was the red sangria (too bitter)
John HaberlandJune 8, 2014
Amazing drinks and the best tapas I've ever had. You can't go wrong.
Kathy SunDecember 30, 2015
super tasty tapas and vegan-friendly! especially recommend the brussels sprouts and marcona almonds

Great tapas. 2-3 per person is good. Definitely try the octopus, brussels sprouts, and the scallions
