Boqueria Seaport

December 25, 2025

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.

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.

After two months, I had the chance of returning to Boqueria for a lovely, delicious dinner. I've had the fortune of traveling to Spain a few times in the last 4 years, becoming friends with locals, and delving a bit into their gastronomical culture and delights. If you're looking for the best Spanish food, your best bet is to go to Spain, but Boqueria comes pretty damn close! Right off the bat, classic Spanish tapas like ham croquettes, patatas bravas, Iberian ham, spanish tortilla, and pan con tomate stand out. Aside from traditional tapas, they offer a variety of other options that pay homage to spanish cuisine with a little added twist: this is something I personally appreciate. I opened with a Parra Jiménez orange wine, and some truffle goat cheese. Then, I moved on to an order of patatas bravas, crispy brussel sprouts glazed with an Iberian ham vinaigrette, ham croquettes, beef and pork albóndigas (meatballs, AMAZING), accompanied by a glass of Cesca Vicent, a grenache, cab, and merlot blend from the Catalonian region of Priorat. Delightful and fantastic! The Spanish generally pair their wine with food, and this wine was the perfect compliment for the dishes I ordered. Everything was delicious. Additionally, the staff was SUPER friendly and kind. Thanks you guys for such a great dinner experience! I'll be back next time I'm in Boston.

Just had an okay meal here. Vibes and atmosphere were nice, but the food did not live up and we were disappointed with how long the end of the meal took. They were clearly short staffed, as we saw our server running around trying to help all of her tables and so we do not blame her—she was great! It just shouldn’t take 30 minutes to order dessert after receiving the menu. The meatballs and ham & cheese sandwich were my favorite, but still a 4/5.
