Since 1989 Taberna del Alabardero has been serving authentic Spanish cuisine to the nation's capital. 

Washingtonian Magazine restaurant critic Robert Shoffner called it 'The Best Spanish restaurant in the Country" 

Tom Sietsema had the following description: "Almost everything about this grandly formal restaurant makes me feel like I'm in Spain for a meal. A shot of gazpacho, cool and refreshing, and skewered chorizo, hot and zesty, serve as my amuse-bouche. The room, one of the city's most romantic, is a vision in red with its lace-backed banquettes, thick carpet and deep chairs. My neighbors are all conversing in Spanish, and the food that flows from the kitchen -- creamy rice swirled with mushrooms and snails, a slab of rockfish scattered with bronzed garlic and garnished with scarlet peppers and cubed potatoes -- brings to mind past restaurant tours of Madrid and Barcelona
