    Between the waitress and the manager, I didn't really know whether to take them serious or not. Been there several times, by far the worst experience. Unfortunately Albarino is not the spot it once was... Would still recommend as the food is good. But 3.5-10 for me on this last visit.

    Sangria is very good but their pitcher is literally half the size of a pitcher you'd get anywhere else, and it's 45.00 Garlic shrimp very tasty but only 5 shrimp Mussels very good Calamari had 7 rings and 2 legs. Skip it The eggplant was great The paella was a bit overcooked but still very good I'd go again, overall it's well prepared food and fine service..

    Alberino’s continues to impress. The octopus was excellent and the salmon tartare was also good. Service was prompt and friendly. The place is quite noisy when they’re busy. The Sangria was a little sweet to my taste (but we managed the drain the pitcher anyway, lol)

    Really impressed with the service, speed of getting food and quality of the various tapas. Look forward to them adding Teresa’s also to the mix. Best to go with 4+ people so you can share lots of dishes.

    First time here in more than six months. Menu was far more limited (and different from website). Ordered four Tapas dishes for two of us and chicken tenders for child. Brought salad two minutes after order, one minute later brought empanadas. Felt we had to eat them while hot or at least warm so set aside half eaten salad. Empanadas were not hot or even warm and had very little flavor. Also very mushy. One minute later pasta came. Taste a little better but not great flavor. Pasta was too hard. Meatballs came out a minute later - hot but not great flavor. Dishes came out way too fast AND it took almost 10 more minutes to get our child dish for our son - never a good thing that we are almost done eating and he has gotten nothing. We have enjoyed Albarino's in the past, but this meal felt rushed and not enjoyable. It looks like their transitioning their business to be a pizza place in half the restaurant and maybe that is why the size of the menu and the taste has suffered. We will wait a while before going back again.

    While the food was excellent and generally the service was very good, we were completely rushed for our entire reservation and informed numerous times that the kitchen was closing at 8pm. I am not sure why a restaurant would offer a 7:30 reservation and then as soon as the party sits down and orders drinks inform them that it’s closing. This fact should have been disclosed at a minimum when the party arrived.

    Took my 17 year old son for his birthday dinner. He loves it especially the chicken flatbread. We ordered the Valencia paella and it’s good but will we really loved the squid ink paella more.

    Good food, great service. But yes, the portions are small for the price. Next time we’re getting what the table next to us ordered, flatbread with chicken, potatoes and empanadas! Looked great! (And definitely more substantial)

    The food was great. Everything was great until my girlfriend asked to have a cherry not put in her drink as she’s allergic to them. Our waitress then proceeded to insult and make fun of my girlfriend’s allergy both to her face and to other waiters and the bartender. All while we could clearly hear them and their mocking tones. Completely ruined our Valentine’s Day.

    Albariño was the perfect place for Valentine’s Day, it wasn’t overly crowded or noisy. We had the mussels and empanadas to begin and the paella negra for our main entree.We also had The flan and churro Martini for dessert. Both perfect for sharing, the music was great, & the service was of team effort, I really enjoyed it here.

    Albariño was a bad experience. The food was poor quality. Small portion. No Spaniard food. The only good thing about this restaurant was the wine which was pricey. $16 per glass of Albarino

    It’s a perfect date spot. You can easily share and try new things. It’s not dressy but it’s nice, you won’t feel like it’s super fancy but it’s a cool atmosphere. Staff is fantastic. Nice, warm, friendly people. We are definitely making this a usual spot and letting our friends know to try it for their next date night

    Food is consistently good, and the service attentive without being overbearing. Nice selection of regional wines, limited but not bad beer selection. Rustic atmosphere, concrete floors make it a bit on the noisy side, but not intrusive by any means. Always good, I'm a repeat visitor and will go back because I don't mind paying a bit more for authentic quality.

    Met friends for a holiday get-together. The small plates were great and conducive to a festive and social occasion. Definitely tastes to satisfy everyone’s pallets and differing dietary concerns. A special shout out to Katrina, the bartender and our waitress. Not only was she beautiful, friendly and courteous, but her recommendations were spot on and made the dining experience all the better.
