   This was an incredible experience, hilighting Valencian food and beautiful wine pairings! After our main savory courses we we're guided down to the after-dinner drink lounge, which was such a delicate, delightful finishing touch. Highly recommended!

   We just had the pleasure of experiencing the tasting menu at Xiquet, and it was an unforgettable culinary journey. From the appetizers to the last little candies at the end was an exceptional experience The staff's warm hospitality made me feel instantly welcome. Each course was a work of art, showcasing the vibrant flavors of Valencia with a modern twist. The dishes were expertly prepared, highlighting the high-quality ingredients and the chef's meticulous attention to detail. The smoky notes from the wood-fired kitchen added a unique depth to the cuisine. The wine pairings were also exceptional, perfectly complementing each dish and enhancing the overall dining experience. Looking forward to come back soon. Thanks Xiquet team! Tom K

   Came for the first time recently and was so impressed, I had to come back to try the new spring menu - and wow, it did not disappoint! Each course just kept getting better and better - creative, beautifully presented and full of flavor. And the wine pairings were spot on. The lamb is unexpectedly amazing - a standout and the Japanese wagyu was nothing short of spectacular. Chef Danny's attention to detail and genuine care for his diners really shows. The professionalism and warm hospitality was consistent each time, making the visit feel very special.

   I haven’t been back to Xiquet in a while and I must say that the experience was phenomenal. The food keeps getting more innovative, beautiful, flavorful, and fun with all the new playing cards. Chef Danny’s attention to detail and care for his diners shows when he came to talk to us for a bit, but did the same for the rest of the tables. Next time I won’t wait as long to go back.

   A disappointing experience. Went there for my wife’s birthday. We told them we didn’t eat squab in advance (my wife's pet growing up was a pigeon), which they confirmed when we arrived. They then served us the squab and we had to stop them before they could prep it at the table. There are premium food (for one or two courses) and drink options, beyond standard wine pairings, which the server asks about at the table, which felt like pressure to me. Additionally, a neighboring table had the birthday they were there for celebrated and nothing for ours. We felt like an afterthought. Just wasn’t the special evening I’d hoped it would be. Update: Danny reached out to me after I posted this, which I appreciated. Seems like a good guy who's working very hard to keep his restaurant great.

   Wow! What an evening, from the intricately detailed small bites, incredible paella, and exquisite desserts. We had an incredible night we won’t soon forget. This was a treasured way to share an anniversary!

    Dining at Xiquet is a transcendent culinary experience that beautifully captures the essence of Spanish cuisine through its Spring menu. From the very first course, I was struck by the meticulous attention to detail—each dish a carefully crafted expression of the season. The flavors were not only harmonious but evocative, transporting me to a blooming field of wildflowers with every bite. The culinary artistry was matched by impeccable service, where attentiveness and professionalism elevated the experience even further. The highlight of the evening was the dessert featuring a delicate bee motif—an exquisite balance of beauty and flavor that left a lasting impression. Xiquet succeeds not only in delivering delicious food but also in curating a sensory journey that celebrates nature, craftsmanship, and the spirit of spring. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking refined Spanish cuisine in an elegant, thoughtfully designed setting.
