Best Spanish Restaurants in Van Ness

Absolutely Best meal we’ve ever had, every course was a flavor explosion that we could not believe tasted better than it looked although it looked perfect, hard to explain. Thank you, Jose Andres, for dreaming of these amazing meals for us to enjoy. , the combs, the carpaccio, the pears, the duck… The steak… The vegetables… Were amazing 

The food here is absolutely amazing. We had to wait a while to be seated, but we were served a appetizer that was on the house. The service that we were given here was also amazing. They checked in on us until we got the table, and they were very kind. It wasn’t too loud, it was like any regular noise level in a restaurant. Overall, it was amazing there. 100% recommend.

This was phenomenal, my wife and I had to stay in town for thanksgiving and needed a pick me up the day before. This did not disappoint, reminded me of eating my Spanish grandmothers food. Paella was phenomenal, I am so glad we opted for the Premium Prawn Rice, it was very umami and so authentic. It was an absolutely beautiful experience, the food was delicious and beautiful, very thoughtful portions, we left full but not overly stuffed. The staff was polite, professional and funny. We will absolutely return and strongly recommend.

We booked a table for two for date night the Tuesday before thanksgiving. I was surprised by how empty the place was. This is an authentic Spanish restaurant. We ordered tapas though they do have main courses and paella. Everything we had was delicious. I was in Spain not long ago and this put me right back. Service was spectacular. They have a lovely private dining space for a large party. Coat check took. 10/10. I highly recommend.

We like exploring tapas restaurants since we don’t have one near us at home. My only concern was not seeing any listing under the “chef’s selection “ pre fixe menu. We still ordered it and enjoyed most of it, but we didn’t know everything we were served and had no idea what was coming next.
