   One of the specials with white bean soup was exceptional. This could be ordered with or without chorizo. Halibut was excellent. Husband thought pork shoulder was tasty but not 5 stars. Flan was pedestrian. Wines were great.

   Went there to celebrate a special occasion and had an amazing time. The ambiance and the service were phenomenal. The drinks, especially the sangria with Cava was divine. We had multiple appetizers and that is the way to go.

   Ser is a great Spanish restaurant because of the quality, price, ambience, and service. It's the only Spanish restaurant that I go to in the area.

   NOT GREAT - My table of 3 opted for the tasting menu for $75. There were a couple of high lights tuna crudo, risotto part of the duck dish, but nothing blew our socks off. The soup as well as the octopus with potato courses came out room temperature when they should have been warm. The scallops were not properly trimmed so the tendon was still attached and chewy, the duck fat wasn't seared and came out white - looked like it had been sitting around for a while so we sent it back to cook longer and they just cooked one side. Dessert was forgettable. Honestly, I had really high hopes for this place, but was disappointed. There were several larger parties in on that Wednesday evening, and it seemed as though our meal was following their schedule and we got the leftovers. It would take a lot for me to come back - it would be nice if the venue did a redo for us, that would probably be the only way. We spent $360 on dinner for 3 and left unimpressed. Seemed like a bunch of inexperienced cooks in the kitchen. I guess I will have to stick to Jaleo and Barcelona for my tapas.

    Excellent authentic Spanish cuisine. The tapas were great (pan catalana, foie, eggplant, gambas) as were the mains (grilled squid and Dorada in Salt). Desserts were also good. Rice pudding was excellent. Churros were the only miss of the night. Pleasant service. Definitely a place to visit.

    What a disappointing experience we booked for brunch they had no coffee!!! Seems the delivery had not come in for coffee for a week. Had to go through Starbucks and get coffee. We ordered the food 45 min later they get the food cold messing a few orders in and we returned two dishes. Waiter didn’t even bother to send the correct ones. Bread was stale, they didn’t even have heating on. It was freezing. Seems to me they are going out of business

    Really enjoyed it. The original table we were sat at was not great (we were early, it wasn’t crowded, and we were stuck next to swinging kitchen door). I asked to be moved, and they graciously agreed. After that, the service was very good and the food was great. Tapas were tasty, dessert was unusual, no complaints!

    For lunch, get parking ticket validated as soon as you get there! Because our waitress said we could validate parking when we paid bill, we missed the 2:30 p.m. cutoff for validation and had to pay $12 to park in garage!! The food was very good. Margarita was expensive and skimpy—mostly ice and very little tequila. Disappointing.

    Our waiter was nice but not attentive. The restaurant menu looked good and had nice variety but the quality did not match the expectations. The first two wine pairings were excellent but the dessert wine was not. I’ll have to come back here to get some more tapas one day to make my mind up but I’m not sure it’ll be soon.

    We were really excited to try SER. It received good reviews and looked to be everything we wanted in a great dinner. The food was good or very good. But the entire experience was overshadowed by service that was abysmal. Our waiter, I believe, was a good guy who was just totally distracted. My mates had been seated and ordered sparkling water. I sat down a few minutes later after I parked the car. After I sat down, the waiter approached and said "what do you want?" To the table. Even his tone was surly. No 'hello'. No 'thank you for dining with us tonight'. No nothing. No 'my name is....' Things went downhill from there. Our drinks were good...and we probably would have ordered more if ANYONE had ever asked us if we would like another round. We sometimes went 15-20-25 minutes without so much as a look from the staff. It felt like every other table was receiving regular check-ins. They didn't appear understaffed. After we had been at our table for nearly an hour and a half, after we had asked for water 3 or 4 times to 3-4 different servers, I finally spoke to the manager and asked if there was a problem. From that point on...things were better. Not perfect, but better. The real icing on the cake was when our waiter delivered a round of brandy on the house at the end of our meal. As he poured our brandy he said (this is no lie or exaggeration) "the manager is offering you a round of brandy on the house because you said the service sucked and you didn't get water." I didn't say "the service sucked." I very pointedly told the manager that I had asked three different staff for water multiple times and felt the service as abysmal. Sucked. Abysmal. I guess they distilled the water situation down to the truth...the service did, in fact, suck. It sucked big time. SO much so that it has been a recurring theme among my colleagues all week every time sit down to a meal. Restaurants: it's the simple things. Just a simple bottle of water...is that so hard?
