    Great food and plenty of variety. Garlic shrimp was outstanding! Justas good as I have had in Spain. Also had a Spanish omelette and Charcuterie platter. Churros were to die for!!

    Lovely environment! Service was rapid and food was warm, flavorsome and menu varied. Could have upped the spice level a bit.wine list was excellent. Although full staff kept pace and the noise level was manageable.

    We had a delightful experience eating here before a 7:30 play at DPAC. Our waitress was insightful and , made fabulous food recommendations for us, then even helped us go out the back door for a more direct path to the theater in the cold. Our only critique that was slightly negative was that it was cold in the restaurant whenever somebody opened the door. We should have asked for a table further from the door!

    We are never disappointed at Taberna Tapas. The menu choices, including a balanced wine list, are varied -- and everything we have tried there is delicious and worth a return visit. This time we had the calamari (lightly breaded and delicate), warm beet salad (excellent with greens and walnuts), albondigas (meatballs with a delicate flavor and unusual lightness), gambas al ajillo (a stand-out dish of Taberna), and pan con tomate. Just the right balance of plates. We will definitely return! And Seth, our server, was super-attentive. We had a wonderful time.
