   Extremely slow service. It took almost a half hour to get drinks. Excessively noisy. Couldn’t talk to each other because of the noise. I have no intention of going back and do not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

   This was a great experience! The food was delicious, great serving sizes and wonderful service. I will definitely be back and recommend. The atmosphere and decor in the restaurant were also very pleasing.

   Had the worst experience with the server, she was never attentive and made my entire friend group feel like she was angry at us. Could’ve been a bit more friendly and helpful as we were celebrating my friend. We did see it had gratuity included (which is fair because we had 6 people total) but the quality of service was not worth the amount that we were charged. The food was really good though, but the service was unbearable and not welcomed at all. Will not be coming back, sorry!

   This was my first time at Boqueria. Overall, I enjoyed it very much. It was lunch on a Friday, very slow day there. Hostess was extremely accommodating as I kept having her show me different tables to escape the too loud music. Cute atmosphere and great lighting. Menu is quite varied with a lot of great choices. We had the manchego cheese and serrano ham, bacon wrapped dates (just OK), meatballs, croquetas de jamon, tortilla española, and lamb skewers. Everything was very tasty. My complaint, I guess, is with tapas restaurants in general -- portions are SO tiny and the prices are $$$. You get the smallest bite per person and that's it. Like, barely a taste. I know these are shareables but it is tough to justify the prices. It's getting harder and harder to dine out these days.

    Easy walk up to tell them reservation details and was taken care of immediately. Service was outstanding for my girlfriend and I’s first date. Beautiful place with fun shareable dishes
