Outstanding service! Enjoyed our happy hour drinks right away, the our first couple tapas, then our entrees, and finished with a surprise birthday cake and operatic serenade. She was always checking by in on us to make sure we had what we needed. And the food was fabulous!

This wonderful neighborhood jewel extends the concept of tapas to include not only Spanish but Argentina, Brazilian, and other Spanish-heritage cuisines. A very nice selection of small plates prepared perfectly. If you like Spanish wine, it has a very nice variety

As always, the Bottomless Brunch at Sabores Tapas Bar was a great experience. I’ve never had anything on that menu that wasn’t delicious, and everyone in my party of five agreed. The service is friendly, attentive and responsive. I’m a vegetarian, and there was no shortage of items for me to order. And as a bonus, I love the light-filled room with bright colored decorations. No question that we will keep going back.

Sabores has delicious food, nice wine & cocktails, and great service. Our favorite dishes are tomate con pan, seafood paella and the Chuletón Vasco. The Chuletón Vasco is quite an experience table sode and so delicious. We were a group of 6 so sampling and sharing dishes was perfect. It’s my favorite place for tapas.

Had a great time and the food was delish! Alex and Ryan took great care of us. Favorites were the arepitas, plantains and pintxo moruna. We’ll be back.
