Spanish Diner - Bethesda

I went to this restaurant for a late afternoon lunch and was greeted unenthusiastically by a dull hostess. However, things improved from there. It was my first time there and I was excited to check out the menu, which included all-day breakfast options and a variety of entrees and smaller plates. I had my eye on the soup special but unfortunately it was sold out after I placed my order, which was disappointing. However, everything we did try was delicious! The prices were a bit high for a diner, such as $5 for an iced tea.

This was our first time at José Andreas?s Spanish Diner, and we are definitely now going to be return customers. We love José?s restaurants because of his creativity, excellent food and generous philanthropy. The decor was really fun and relaxed, with upscale food and drink presentations, incredible flavors and choices of both small plates and regular entrées, along with excellent service. We were fans of José?s Jaleo restaurant at this location, but had not been back

Eggs on French fries?!? OMG, YES!!!!! Update: I go almost every Sunday now. The traditional Spanish Tortilla with potatoes is really amazing. It looks small but I still never can finish it even though it's so great. I love to get a side of avocado with it.

The restaurant was good overall, although the music was too loud for my liking. I particularly enjoyed their French toast, as it was very soft and creamy. The fried cod with manchego was also delicious. I tried flan for the first time and found it to be great as well. The prices were reasonable, not too expensive.

This is a tapas restaurant with a good exterior and a nice vibe and atmosphere. They offer all-day happy hour, but the prices are only slightly lower than their regular prices. The food is not particularly tasty or unique. I have been here before, when it was under the same ownership but called Spanish Diner, and it was much better back then.
