Ser is so comfortable and inviting. The sangria is the best I have ever had. The appetizers are excellent. We had squid calamari. Bread was excellent as well. We had paella for two and it was flavored spectacularly. We had Flan and Churros for dessert. Both were excellent. The service (our server was Walter) was top notch. Highly recommend this restaurant.

This is definitely a special occasion restaurant, and I really wanted to impress my favorite niece after our Christmas concert - TSO! Kitty was awesome!! He's been there for a few years he knew just how much to bother us, and how to help us navigate the menu. We did the classic tasting menu and it didn't disappoint! Everything about our visit set our Christmas off to a great start! And the host, Alexis, was amazing!!!

This last meal was quite possibly the best I have experienced at Xiquet yet. Our table loved the perfectly cooked partridge and amazing sauce on the sea bass. The festive decorations, kind staff and Spanish kings cake for dessert made for a cozy holiday evening. We are already looking forward to more celebrations at Xiquet next year.
