Taberna De Haro

evil owner. What an awful experience! There is nothing worse than being a customer at a restaurant and being made to feel like they are doing you a favor by serving you. Im not a snob and am friendly and not demanding. They are just simply rude and the woman that runs the restaurant is satan.

We gave them a second try because we can walk and we like wine but they are simply awful there. Food is fine but i would rather buy a bottle of wine at the store and make a peanut butter sandwich than give her a penny…

disapointing. I have lived near Taberna de Haro for several years...and I had been so excited to try it. I was extremely let down. The food was ok....but I have had much better Spanish food. Several dishes were over salted, some overcooked. We were squeezed into a table next to the door....which was freezing in the January cold. In addition, the service was terrible. Our dishes were brought completely separate. Two of us had our entrees for about 20 minutes before the third received her meal. Also..the hostess/manager was very rude. I have been a waitress for many years, and to all the comments accusing reviewers of treating staff as "servants," this was not the case. Just poor service.…

not authentic. I was there once after I came back from Spain. I was totally disappointed in the tapas. We ordered a tuna dish expecting sashimi grade fish only to get tuna that appeared to come from a can. The white asparagus was from a freshly opened jar. They charge just as much as Dali and Toro but there is no comparison, The best feature of this restaurant is you can sit outside in the summer. I would never go back there again.…

Best Restaurant in Boston. This is my favorite restaurant in Boston. I have spent most of my life traveling to Spain, and find that Taberna de Haro is better than most Spanish restaurants in Spain. The dishes are simple. "We are not creative here," once said Julio Haro, one of the founders of the restaurant, "We just make the traditional dishes," and thank goodness someone does. Julio and Deborah Haro started the restaurant as a typical Madrid tavern, which means that it serves dishes from all over Spain. Everything here is good, but you would have a hard time going wrong with the specials, which range from game to fish to vegetarian dishes. Three dishes is a good start for two people. Then, if you have room, order the natilla, a Spanish custard, or the flan. Deborah, now the sole owner, travels to Spain every year, and discovers new wineries. She has an encyclopedic knowledge and a passion for Spanish wines, and she tries to impart that knowledge to her young staff. She also charges very reasonable prices for the wines. She once said that she doesn't believe that restaurants should charge a lot of money for wines they aren't to keep around for a long time, and most of the wines here are young. If you want to have great Spanish food and interesting wines from new wineries, this is the best place in the United States, far better than trendier places in Boston or Washington. If you're going from Thursday to Sunday, get there by 6:45 PM, or you'lll have a wait if you don't have a reservation. Then again, you could do a lot worse than wait at at the bar while Deborah prepares tapas for you, or offers you a few slices of Manchego cheese and suggests a sherry to go with that. Expect to spend about $50 a person.…
