   Overall a good lunch experience for a first time visit to the restaurant. Ambience lacks a little bit and the place can get a little noisy and tight from a crowding perspective. Food was very good, but not exceptional. Chicken in the chicken bowl was overcooked, but Salmon bowl was excellent. Service was exceptional. Overall, I thought the prices charged were a little high for quality and quantity of the food served. So, a good experience, but probably a one time visit for me.

   We had an amazing meal. Very busy, which is good/fine. Noise level is very high. We had to yell across the table, which can be expected in DuPont on a Saturday in spring. Bartenders very slow and our table couldn’t fit our dishes. Otherwise great meal

   The server was busy and took a while to get dessert which came after our coffee when we were getting up to leave. She didn’t charge us which was nice. But more importantly within a few minutes of leaving the restaurant my friends credit card number was stolen and she now has to cancel her credit card. The QR code system seems to be a more secure way of paying, but we don’t think it was.

   We loved Boqueria! It was a great experience from the food to the atmosphere! Food was absolutely fantastic! Our server was so friendly and attentive. I had mentioned in my Open Table booking that it was my husband’s birthday and the server brought my husband a dessert with a sparkler in it! It was such a nice gesture and made my husband feel special. We will absolutely be coming back to Boqueria soon!

   Great service, great location, great atmosphere, food over priced and underwhelming. Up the food or lower the price. Great ham but the rest is overpriced.

   Had the Boqueria Experience that included the imberico jamon and paella. It was excellent! The variety of dishes we tasted was amazing - 8 different dishes. Energy was on 100 with music playing loudly and ppl engaged in lively conversation. Definitely recommend for a fun dinner night out!

    Experience felt very rushed. We got the brunch feast and almost all of it came out immediately, one after another. Food came out lukewarm and the server interrupted every 10-15 minutes to ask if we needed something else. The server was ending his shift but rushing his table as a result felt unnecessary. Check us out and assign a new server. As for the 2nd server, he comes over once to introduce/ask if we needed anything, a 2nd time to ask if he can clear the table, and a 3rd to remove the water container. While we didn’t order anything and said he could clear the table, I felt it was poor service to remove the water jug as we were still there. With subpar service I will not be back here nor will I recommend the restaurant.
