Great food, quiet and relaxing. All the servers seemed brand new and a little confused but they were genuine so we didn’t care and had a great time.

Ambiance and service were good. For a Monday night, the restaurant was busy but quiet enough for good conversation. Happy hour drinks and bites were delicious. Other tapas and wine very gd. We enjoyed being at Boqueria. Thank you.

Food was subpar. We spent almost 300 for my husband and I. Flavors were okay and nothing to brag about. There are so many other restaurants in the area that are better!! Service was good but food is not worth it.

We were seated promptly for our reservation. The tapas, beer and paella were good and the service was professional. The restaurant was packed with tourists, regulars and Capitals fans. Between the music and conversations I could not hear my spouse across the high top table! Maybe I’ll try off hours to thoroughly enjoy my experience.

Had another great pre-game meal at Boqueria. We especially loved the new iteration of the Brussels sprouts salad. We also shared the yummy bikini sandwich and patatas bravas and the house Tempranillo.
