From the OpenTable editors: Elegant bites, like a black olive tart with grilled squid, are just the beginning of the Spanish delights at Xiquet. Jaleo veteran and Valencian-born chef Danny Lledó serves up showstopping paellas and other seafood-forward fare in an intimate, MICHELIN-Starred tasting experience. Finish the evening with a glass of vintage port in the romantic cocktail lounge.

Service at the restaurant fell very short of expectations. Surprising as communication in advance was impressive. They made every effort to understand food allergies and respect food preferences. Suggest you bring your own wine and pay the corkage fee. The wine options are stunningly expensive.

Disappointing for a Michelin starred restaurant. Food was OK, service was awkward and really just fair overall. There were exceptions of both food and service that were very good, but they were few and far between. Will not return, nor recommend.

This was an experience to remember!! The food was amazing and very well curated. I left not too full and certainly satisfied. I especially enjoyed the iberico and the prawn paella. We had the wine pairing which I can see why they won the sommelier guide, they were uncommon varieties yet and I appreciated the time and care they took to explain each course.

A fantastic experience. We were taken on a journey throughout Spain through the eyes and hand of Chef Lledo and his staff. Impeccable presentation and service. Our close friends brought a bottle of 1995 Haut Brion and a bottle of 1996 Montrachet and they paired extremely well. The sommelier was wonderful as well What an experience! When we return to DC we will definitely return to Xiquet.
