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.

    We had the Dover sole, filleted table side, burger, and short ribs. Everything was excellently prepared as always. The fish here is always delicious. Our favorite Arlington restaurant.

    Had an amazing lunch at SER today! The Sara Montiel sandwich was absolutely delicious, and the service was spectacular—warm, attentive, and made the experience even better. Can’t wait to come back!

    Food is always great here and we come here several times a year. I was a bit disappointed this time as it was a special birthday for my child and although I had noted that in my reservation, there was no acknowledgement at all, as well as my having to raise that we had made a special seating request in the reservation (which they couldn't accommodate but it was an unpleasant exchange as I had to raise it). That said, I know they were very busy, and we did have a lovely server and good meal.
