Food was excellent. Restaurant is cute. Server was kind. Has a bit of tourist-trap vibe, but location is great for other North Beach activities.

Absolutely excellent service! The patatas were great as were the squid. The blooming mushroom was interesting and the shrimp was good but not outstanding. Would definitely return and maybe try a craft cocktail.

I went here for my birthday and you have to try the matador spritz! It was so good and just ask the waitress/waiter what they reccomend and you won’t be disappointed! Also get the churros!!! The waitress was bubbly and gave great recs to two people who have never had tapas before

We spent two weeks in Spain in May and were excited to have some yummy Spanish dishes. Well, the food we ordered, patatas, gambas, croquetas was very poor. The croquetas were hard as a rock and borderline cold. The gambas were tiny shrimp swimming in oil. The patatas were a different presentation from any we’ve ever had but were acceptable. All dishes were accompanied by cold sliced white bread. Best part of the meal was the wine. Won’t be going back again.

We had amazing service: friendly, prompt and informative. The first two of our party of five were seated and provided with water and menus right away. Our server was understanding about our timing needs given this was pre-Dear SF show dinner, and happily took our orders in increments to get us going and then as each guest arrived. She provided knowledgeable information about the food and wine offerings. The food came fast. When we asked for our bill while still finishing our food and drinks, she already had the bill ready, to get us on our way to the show. The food choices were inventive and tasty. I don't often choose tapas restaurants because the food tends to be fried or oily, but I have returned to Red Window because it is consistently very good.
