SER Restaurant - Spanish restaurant in Arlington - 1110 N Glebe Rd, USA

Had clams and shrimp as an appetizer, nothing to special about. Also had a mushroom dish with egg that was flavorful and potatoes. I must say I haven’t had such a great tasting Paella since I went to Spain!! It was so good. The ginger soda is fresh and the ginger in it wasn’t overwhelming for my taste bud. So I would also recommend trying the soda.

We did the restaurant week lunch prix fixe. The salad was good but not exceptional, the duck confit was great, the swordfish was average and the hangar steak was nicely cooked. The deserts were uneven. The chocolate flan was good but predictable, but the "French toast" I ordered was soggy, cold and burned at the same time. The selection of teas looked nice but the sugar lumps were awkward to use. Water came in those flip-top glass bottles, but at least it was filtered. The really good stuff was not part of the prix fixe. The house made sodas were excellent, but $6 a pop and the cheese plate was fun to share but $35 for 6 cheeses with accompaniments. The cheeses were described as Spanish in origin and were of good quality, but I have purchased similar products at high end grocery stores for much less money. I think I would have felt happier about the price if the restaurant cut the quantity of cheese in half and added a few pieces of the Jamon Spain is so famous for. The restaurant did kind of randomly give us a ham, egg and cheese sandwich, so that was nice. The complimentary bread and olive oil was also fantastic. Service was friendly and our waiter was pleasant and approachable. I did not feel neglected or snubbed as a non wealthy person enjoying a rare treat with his family. I would definitely come back. It would be a good place for a formal dinner in the evenings, but they also seem like a nice place to grab a quick lunch during the work day. This place has the basics down and they seem to have built a good foundation on top of them.

Another wonderful experience at SER. The dishes were delicious and plentiful. The fresh ingredients and seasoning resulted in rich and flavorful foods. As usual, the service was exceptional. Anna was friendly, patient, and highly attentive to our progress and needs during the meal. She's a true professional and should be commended by management. There's an variety of wines to select from for any occasion and pairing. I highly recommend SER for any (but fast food) dining experiences.

My friends and I had an absolutely amazing NYE celebration dinner at SER! The staff was incredibly friendly and greeted us for our reservation and sat us immediately. We all loved the lively atmosphere getting ready to ring in 2024. But where we were truly blown away is both in service and food! Our waiter, Moises, went ABOVE and beyond for us. He was able to work with the bartender to slightly customize one of their cocktails for one of us and it was spectacular. He also gave us great advice in selecting a wine in our budget that paired perfectly with everything we ordered. My boyfriend was obsessed with the smoke in his old fashioned and Moises packed up a small sample of the wood chips they use in that smoker for us to try at home. We didn’t even ask for it, he just went and brought it to our table. I’ve never felt more welcomed and truly taken care of by wait staff like that! Moises is clearly someone who loves his job and the smallest gesture shows that. Now to the food. It was all OUTSTANDING. We all shared a few tapas (super fresh and tender octopus, Catalonian tomato bread, and croquettes) and then split the paella and the rabbit. Truly, this was some of the best Spanish food I’ve ever had outside of Europe. We finished with the Manchengo Cheesecake which is a must try (even if you’re not a big sweets fan, it was so good). We can’t wait to come back for more! Thank you to Moises and the whole team at SER for making it a perfect celebration!

What a fantastic experience! We tried so many dishes and every one of them was amazing. Our favorites were probably the langosteen's and the raw tuna dish, but I also loved that they had whole grilled sardines which are so hard to find around here. The fried shark bites were okay, I'm glad we tried them but I probably wouldn't get them again. The salted cod fritters were a wonderful surprise, and not salty at all. They were perfectly seasoned and fried, with a light citrus background to compliment the fritter. The salads were perfectly dressed, not too rich and just enough to accompany the tapas. I highly recommend trying the olive bread with olive oil and a couple drops of fresh lemon juice to accompany your meal. So glad to have experienced dinner at SER!

Love this restaurant top tier service, food is always good, drink menu is amazing! Tapas on point and the vibe is just 10/10. Is always on top on my list pf restaurants in Arlington 🙌🏻

"An absolute delight, thanks to my friends! Their favorite Spanish spot did not disappoint. The standout dish for me? The seafood paella- it's bursting with clams, shrimp, octopus - you name it. Every dish is a must-try. But beware of the bread, it's dangerously tasty for a pre-meal treat 😉. Their sangria is next level - fruit integrated into ice cubes that melt as you sip. The vibe's perfect for group hangouts or cozy dates. Can't wait to try their outdoor seating next time I'm in town.

Great discovery. The food was just amazing. We had the Magret de Pato and the Presa de cerdo ibérico ahumada and the Goxua for dessert. The specialty cocktails were also great, the diablo and another one with gin and blackberry but I don't remember the name. We were served by Christian and he was just so nice and gave us great recommendations. We'll be back.
