I stumbled on this place accidentally when the place I usually go to in Brookline was relatively booked, and I’m so glad I did! The food is outstanding, the cocktail, sublime, and the weight staff were friendly and extremely efficient. This is a gem of a place, not too big so you can have a nice conversation while you are enjoying the delicious food, I will be back!

My friend and I shared the chicken sandwich (which was good) and the haddock with shrimp risotto. The risotto was very bland and the fish didn’t have much flavor either.

Taberna has been up and down over the years but whatever was causing the inconsistencies is no longer present.. The food is great, the service attentive and helpful, and Sangria is back (though not by the carafe sadly). It has none of the date night craziness that Barcelona has, the ambience is great. Couldn't one happier!
