    Disappointing Food, Great Ambience We were really looking forward to trying Taberna Tapas, but the food didn’t live up to expectations. The biggest letdown was the $10 plate of diced fried potatoes with a bit of hot sauce. It was presented as a standout dish.. Most of the dishes we tried lacked flavor. The short rib, was served with cold mashed potatoes. Even the churros, which we hoped would redeem the meal, fell flat, more gas station than gourmet. On the bright side, the ambience was great, and the staff was friendly, though the service felt a little unpolished. Overall, the experience didn’t quite justify the price, and we left feeling disappointed.

    We have been numerous times and always enjoy the food and have a great time. We have a few favs that we always go back to and always try to experiment a little as well, but there is not really anything on the menu that you can go wrong with. Would definitely recommend for date nights, celebrations, or just to go out.

    We have dined there on several occasions. This is the first time that we were disappointed with the food. Everything we had was over sauced but still lacked favor. Really disappointing experience because were entertaining friends from out of town.

    Overall we really enjoyed our first visit to Taberna with some good friends. The atmosphere was inviting and nice but definitely far from formal. The food was quite good. Everything we tried was a hit and we did our best to try a lot. The house made dark chocolate and orange infused ice cream was worth the trip all on its own. Our service was not bad by any means but felt a little distant at times. We will be back!

    The food was phenomenal and consistent with what I had heard from my foodie friends!! We had the croquetas de jamon, bacon-wrapped dates, empanadas de carne, and patatas bravas + aioli. All were excellent! The red sangria was refreshing, very apple-forward. Will be back!

    This was the BEST food I've had in quite some time. The wait staff was extremely attentive & informative. It seemed the staff made everyone feel welcomed & important. Cannot wait to return! Also, highly suggest the empanadas!!

    First time trying out this restaurant with a group of friends and we really enjoyed it. A few of us tried their red sangria and it was very tasty. Service was very good.
