Category: Tapas restaurant. Although the night was cool, we snagged a table for six along the front side of the large L-shaped patio with trees, shade sails, strings of Edison bulbs, and moveable heaters. Our heater made us toasty and comfortable. Inside, there’s a cozy dining room with exposed beams, exposed brick above the windows and doors, and visible HVAC ductwork. The wall-facing live-edged wooden bar had about 6 seats. The wine list offered no reds in our sweet spot for restaurant wines (under $50), but several just above that price point. The menu offers small tapas, large tapas, charcuterie, and Iberico ham. We ordered several, as you might expect six hungry humans to do, and were impressed by all. The Boquerones were well presented and excellent, the Blistered Padron Peppers were delicious, the Pan Con Tomate was served on local Noble bread and the Tomate was fresh and bright, the excellent Bacon-wrapped dates were my fave, the Chilean Lamb Chops were meaty, and the accompanying Crema and Bravas Sauce perfectly complimented the Potato Croquettes with Jamon Serrano. The service was excellent and super friendly. We’ll be back. YouTube’s Chef’s Apprentice

My boyfriend and I recently had an incredible date night at Dahlia, and I can’t recommend it enough! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance captured me. The decor brought a wave of nostalgia, reminding me of my childhood in Mexico, with a unique blend of exposed brick and modern elements. It felt like stepping into a cozy home halfway through restoration, complete with dim lighting and soothing colors.
The atmosphere was perfectly complemented by chill music, creating a relaxed vibe that made our evening even more enjoyable. Our server Fernando was not only pleasant but also incredibly knowledgeable, guiding us through the menu with ease. He suggested we try several small dishes, as the concept here revolves around tapas—appetizers in Spanish.
We ordered an array of tapas, including shrimp, lamb, and grilled veggies, all bursting with flavor. Each dish was a delightful experience, and we were thoroughly pleased with our choices.
I took plenty of pictures to capture the night, and I’m already looking forward to our next visit. Dahlia deserves a solid five-star review for its delicious food, welcoming atmosphere, and fantastic service. Don’t miss out on this gem; we’ll definitely be back!

My husband ate at Dahlia for the second time in a few months. The food and service were as good this week as a few months ago. The blistered Padron peppers with Manchego cheese are so good that I’ve been thinking about them for months! We will definitely return – we wish this restaurant was a bit closer as we would go there more often. The Basque cheesecake is as good as what we ate in the Rioja/Basque region of Spain last year. Good wine choices, too!

My friend and I came here to celebrate my birthday, and we had an amazing time! I don’t drink much alcohol, and I was really happy with the quality and accessibility of the mocktails–no extra inquiry required! The passionate fruit tasted very fresh and acidic. We got one small plate (the pan con tomate) and two larger plates (the tostada trio and the potato croquettes) as well as a dessert (the creme catalan). Everything was really delicious! The service was friendly without being overbearing, and the atmosphere was really cute and inviting. I’d absolutely recommend this place for a nice date or a evening out with friends. We sat inside, but it looks like there’s lots of lovely patio seating for larger groups as well. I’d definitely go back!

Dahlia Tapas & Wine is an absolute gem! From the moment we arrived, the warm and inviting patio ambiance set the perfect tone for the evening — cozy lights, rustic tables, and a relaxed vibe that makes you want to linger all night.
The food was outstanding. Every dish was plated beautifully and packed with flavor — from the crispy croquettes to the perfectly seared octopus, smoky bacon-wrapped dates, and tender steak with chimichurri. Each bite felt carefully crafted and balanced, both in taste and presentation. The wine list also paired perfectly with the tapas, offering excellent variety without feeling overwhelming.
A special shoutout to Jorge, whose customer service was incredible. He was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and made us feel truly welcomed throughout the night. His genuine care and hospitality elevated the entire experience.
If you’re looking for a spot that combines delicious food, great wine, and exceptional service, Dahlia Tapas & Wine should be at the top of your list. Can’t wait to come back!

Michaela was a fantastic guide through the menu and didn’t steer us wrong. The small plates were delicious and a joy to share. The kitchen staff are excellent in their craft and the flavors just kept coming.
We forgot to take pics of half of what we ate because we had to devour it before it was all gone!

We were here on business and happened upon this amazing, small, charming restaurant. The experience was so good that we made a reservation for two days later! When you choose a restaurant two nights out of a three night trip, you know it’s absolutely delicious. Service was as excellent as the food!

Oh my goodness! What a find! This is the best restaurant we have been to in years. The food, drinks, service, and atmosphere were all fantastic.
The best bite of food was the Spanish Dates paired with the pickled veggies were problematically delicious. But make no mistake, everything we ate was amazing. The drinks were all great, unique. The drink of the evening was the Como La Flor. A perfect balance of sweet, tart and wonderfully floral. You need to make it a point to get here!!

Great spot for drinks and small plates. The food’s fresh and flavorful—especially the short rib empanadas and garlic shrimp. Cocktails are excellent, service is friendly, and the vibe is relaxed but classy. Perfect date night for the wife and I.
