About this restaurant

Charming
Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem

MariPili is a James Beard nominated Galician themed tapas bar providing a casual environment for elevated Spanish bar food and homestyle cooking. MariPili is named for chef's aunt and the bar and walls are adorned with Galician art and keepsakes. Estrella Galicia is served on tap and there are a wide variety of tapas options like the pan seared lingcod 'Bacallau a Mariñera' and Spanish classic 'Croquettas de Jamon' as well as our seasonal tasting menu Tapear Tapearei which includes many bite sized courses reflecting a more traditional tapas experience. Honoring the chef's blended heritage, the wine list features a selection from Spain and Washington exclusively.

This was our first time at the restaurant and we really wanted to love it! The space is lovely and intimate! The service was excellent! Unfortunately, the food was average. The salad was excellent! But, the rest of the food was way over salted. We had the potatoes, the rabbit and paella. They were all very underwhelming and so salty! Maybe it was an off night.

Everything was amazing! Sat at the bar, and the servers were perfect. They were very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and engaging. We couldn't have asked for a better time. The food was wonderful. Great variety, good sharing plate sizes, and wonderfully prepared. Great alcoholic and non alcoholic options. Very highly recommend.

The ambiance was great, it’s a very small romantic dinner experience with great service and wonderful food. I really loved how the wait staff explained what each dish was when they brought it out so there was no guessing what any of the elements were on our plates! I absolutely plan to go again
