About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
SER is the winner of the Ballston Business Improvement District's 2014 Restaurant Challenge. It is an authentic Spanish tavern or “food house” with a casual, hipster vibe. But, take note…it’s not a tapas restaurant. It’s a gastronomical journey and cultural adventure throughout every region of Spain. It’s an easy-going gathering spot where guests can enjoy typical comfort foods and beverages from Spain at any time of the day or night. The team at SER are your foodie friends from Spain who have a mean kitchen, sharp cooking skills, and comfortable house where you hang out until the wee hours of the night.

SER Restaurant is a highly acclaimed establishment recognized for its exceptional dining experience. It has been featured in the Washingtonian's Best 100 Restaurants list in 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2023. Additionally, it has consistently ranked among the Top 50 Best Restaurants in Northern Virginia from 2020 to 2024 and is celebrated as one of the top restaurants in Arlington.

    SER is always a go to for a good time and great food. It was Easter and we wanted some place quiet and delicious. I was craving their garlic shrimp and tortilla. They didn’t disappoint.

    Food was excellent, drinks were excellent, the server was very attentive and pleasant. It was a great experience. We’ve been there before and it’s always a great time. This time we went with another couple and it was just as amazing!

    With a couple hours to spare ar the end of a business trip, I stopped in for a lovely late afternoon lunch at SER and felt like I was welcomed into an exceptionally familial restaurant uncommonly committed to ensuring I enjoyed every bite and every sip. The food was fresh and delicious and the relaxed environment contrasted sharply with its urban corporate surroundings (including a dungeon of a parking garage). If I’m in the area any time soon, SER will be my first stop.

    Great place for a team dinner. Food was great for both sharing or individual selection. Excellent cocktails. Large wine list. Our server was friendly, helpful, and very attentive. They were great at handling allergies for such a large party.

    A great restaurant that serves good Spanish-style cuisine. True to its Spanish roots, it is open late with a full menu. They also have a great wine selection. I highly recommend it.

    I went for a late Sunday brunch - after 1 p.m. The service was okay, but the brunch menu was really limited.
