A culinary Journey to Spain. Yesterday, I had the pleasure of visiting a Spanish restaurant, and I must say, the experience was simply spectacular. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance transported me straight to Spain, with its warm lighting and a cozy atmosphere that perfectly captured the Mediterranean essence. The food was the highlight of the day. Every dish was carefully prepared, featuring fresh ingredients and authentic flavors. From appetizers to main courses, every bite was a tribute to Spanish gastronomy. A special mention goes to the G&T drink (Gin Mare), which wasn’t only perfectly balanced but also had the power to transport me to Spain with its freshness and well-crafted aromas. An excellent choice. To top it all off, the selection of desserts was simply exquisite. Each option was a burst of flavor, with that homemade touch that makes all the difference. A sweet and unforgettable ending to a well-rounded culinary experience. If you’re looking for a place in the city where you can experience the essence of Spain through its cuisine, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit. Highly recommended!
I want to start by saying- My server was phenomenal. PHENOMENAL!!! I cannot believe how amazing the service was. My sister and I are visiting from Canada and we were blown away. That man deserves a raise!!!!! 630 reso for Shields.. make sure he sees this. Food was amazing, atmosphere is gorgeous and everything was perfect. I also appreciated the servers lovely uniforms. 100000/10!!!
Del Mar is a Spanish restaurant featuring many authentic dishes and tapas from Spain. It's is located at the DC Warf zone. It is an upper scale restaurant. It was very cold and rainy day so I felt nostalgic for the foods of Spain so I decided to stop by Del Kat. The decor is casual elegant. I parked myself at the bar, which it was not crowded when I artoved around 3pm but later became lively. Between 3 and 6 they offer a "happy hour/bar menu" which is basically a, simplyfied regular menu with the same prices and portions. I began with a gin and tonic and ordered the "camarones al ajillo" (shrimp with garlic), the I dividÃa egg and potatoes omelet (tortilla española) and "croquetas de jamón" (ham croquettes). The ham croquettes were served with a truffle aoili that's mad delicious. The Spanish omelette had mushy potatoes and a huge mound of creme freshe and Truffles which did not add anything to the dish (the potatoes were overcooked and mushy), so I returned te the dish, which my server was happy to do. I also ordered the octupus ei h WAS set ed with a dark ink sauce and was delicious. My only other quip was that the " Vasque" cheesecake was not the traditional brunt Vasque cheesecake, but a regular cheesecake served with bananas Foster-style side that was decidedly ot Vasque. The service was friendly and warm (thank you Joel
Pretty close to a once in a lifetime experience, albeit pricy. Service was top notch. We had the jamon iberico 5J, octopus, branzino, patatas bravas, half dozen oysters, and basque cheesecake. Everything was phenomenal. Subtle attention to details mattered when even the vegetables were prepared to complement, If not surpass, the primary dishes. We washed everything down with Albariño wine.
