About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
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.
