About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Good for special occasions
SER is the winner of the Ballston Business Improvement District's 2014 Restaurant Challenge. It is an authentic Spanish tavern or “food house” with a casual, hipster vibe. But, take note…it’s not a tapas restaurant. It’s a gastronomical journey and cultural adventure throughout every region of Spain. It’s an easy-going gathering spot where guests can enjoy typical comfort foods and beverages from Spain at any time of the day or night. The team at SER are your foodie friends from Spain who have a mean kitchen, sharp cooking skills, and comfortable house where you hang out until the wee hours of the night.

SER Restaurant is a highly acclaimed establishment recognized for its exceptional dining experience. It has been featured in the Washingtonian's Best 100 Restaurants list in 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2023. Additionally, it has consistently ranked among the Top 50 Best Restaurants in Northern Virginia from 2020 to 2024 and is celebrated as one of the top restaurants in Arlington.

At each of these dinners, Chef Sierra will guide guests on a culinary journey throughout Spain, mixing timeless recipes with a dash of his innovation, art, and creativity.

    Food was delicious as always but service was a bit spotty for only having a dozen or so people in the restaurant. Felt like we had to ask for more food or beverages.

    Why don't I have lunch here more often? SER offfers an excellent brunch/lunch menu, from sandwiches, to picoteos (little plates), to choices that are more substantive. Prices are reasonable. The room is bright and welcoming, and -- thank goodness -- tables are property spaced. GO!

    Had the best time at SER Restaurant with my girlfriends last night! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was warm and inviting — perfect for a fun, relaxed evening. The staff was super friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and they made great recommendations throughout the night. We ordered a mix of tapas and shared everything, which worked out perfectly.
