" I visited Taberna del Alabardero after hearing great things about it, but sadly it did not meet my expectations. While the space was beautiful and well-decorated, the food lacked the authenticity I was looking for. The service was decent but could have been more attentive. Some dishes, like the gazpacho, were disappointing and tasted far from what I remember from my time in Spain. I wish it had been better as I really wanted to love this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wonderful experience overall! The tapas were fantastic, and the staff was attentive and friendly. We truly enjoyed the ambiance of the place, and I was particularly impressed with how authentic everything tasted. Will be my go-to spot next time I’m in DC! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience! The ambiance was charming with beautiful Spanish décor, and the food was absolutely authentic! I particularly enjoyed the seafood paella, it was bursting with flavor and generous portions. The staff was welcoming and attentive throughout our dinner. I will definitely be back for another round of tapas soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" A good restaurant, but it has some high and low points. The food was satisfying, but there was nothing that made it spectacular. The service could have been a little more engaging. I expected more considering the price point. I think it could use a little polish! " (*Curated Review*)

" I really enjoyed my visit! The ambiance was unique, reminiscent of a classic Spanish setting, and the service was prompt and caring. I tried a variety of tapas, and while some were excellent, a few were just okay. I'd definitely advise trying the paella; it was one of the best I've had outside of Spain! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was impressed by the unique dishes and pretty presentation of the food. The quality was admirable, and the seafood options were really fresh. However, I expected the portions to be larger for the price point. Overall, I enjoyed my visit, but I believe some small adjustments could elevate this restaurant to top level. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was great right from the start! We were warmly welcomed, and the ambiance was lovely. The tapas brought me back to Spain - simply indulgent! The only downside was the slight wait for mains, but it was worthwhile! All in all, a restaurant to cherish and return to. " (*Curated Review*)
