We dined here last night and had a great experience. The service was outstanding, we had the perfect mix of attentiveness and not feeling rushed. The atmosphere was lively, but not loud. We were able to have conversation without feeling like we had to yell. Unfortunately, the food fell a little short for us. We ordered about 6 tapas total along with the braised short rib paella. The croquettes came out cold in the middle and we found the shrimp to be small, although there was a decent portion. The patatas bravas had nice smoky flavor. The paella was overdone and did not have great flavor, also a bit salty. Not worth the $50 price. The olive oil cake was hard and dry on the inside. I most likely will return for the ambiance and drinks, but not the food.

We had a great experience at Boqueria Seaport and overall really enjoyed our visit. Our server was super nice and attentive, and the drinks were very good. The octopus was delicious and definitely a highlight of the meal. That said, we were disappointed with the choripán—the bread was extremely hard, which took away from the dish. The meat should be the star of the show, but the hard bread really overpowered it. A softer bread would make a huge difference. We’ve visited other Boqueria locations in DC and loved them, so we know how good it can be. We’d still come back and hope this was just a small hiccup.

I almost never write Google reviews, but this experience really stood out. I left feeling genuinely happy, with a full stomach and a very full heart.
The vibe is cozy and elegant, the whole restaurant already smells like top-notch fried goodness, and most importantly, the server who took care of me was beyond amazing and warm.
I accidentally spilled my drink, and she immediately brought me new side breads and a drink refill. When I was finishing up, I was even treated with churros on the house. Sorry I didn’t catch her name, but I genuinely wish her all the best and hope she knows how much her kindness was appreciated.
The food itself was such a treat—everything was cooked to perfection. I especially recommend the gambas, with just the right amount of oil and perfectly crispy side bread. The Brussels sprouts with raisins were also very satisfying. Lastly the house signature margarita tasted light but hit strong in a delightful way.
The only small suggestion I have is that I’d love to see a bit more sour or spicy flavor somewhere in between to add an extra bold layer. But that’s more of an A to A+ comment.
Ty for the feast, and I would definitely revisit to try out more tapas and the paella.

We absolutely loved our experience at Boqueria. We went on a Friday at lunch time with friends visiting from out of town and our 4 month old.
Sometimes restaurants aren’t welcoming to babies and strollers but everyone here was extremely friendly and accommodated us in a spot we would be comfortable. They greeted the babe and we felt very at ease about it.
On top of it being beautiful inside, the food is FANTASTIC. We all ordered a bunch of plates and shared. We left very satisfied. The cocktail and wine selection was lovely.
We will definitely be returning and would recommend to anyone who looking for a place go eat in seaport.
