diningindc Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Is anyone interested in going to Taberna del Alabardero for a Tuesday event? Taberna del Alabardero is celebrating their 20th Year Anniversary with a Summertime Special of Tapas and Sangria. During the month of July, Taberna del Alabardero will offer an assortment of 6 traditional Tapas along with a pitcher of the best Sangria in town priced at $50 for 2 guests. The summertime special Tapas will include a new seasonal dish, Gazpacho Andalucia, Salpicon de Marisco (marinated seafood salad), Tortilla Espanola, Croquetas de Jamón, Chorizo Parrilla (grilled chorizo), and Falda de Buey con Pimientos (steak with piquillos peppers). I'm interested in helping to organize a DR event there. Anyone interested? Let me know! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always enjoyed La Taberna when I've gone in small groups, but on the occasion I went with a larger one, the risotto was soggy, the mariscos were overcooked, and the chef droned on in a self-promoting spiel, delaying the dinner. But the place is good enough, and beautifully appointed, to deserve another try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escoffier Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I'd be interested if this is going to happen on a Tuesday in August (considering that there are no longer any Tuesdays in July) but only if there is a reduction in the price because I abhor Sangria...

Was it a special type of event put on at the restaurant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it was a special event hosted by the Harvard Club of Washington, and the presentation lasted an hour and a half, 90 minutes, 3 stomach-grumbling cycles. I wrote about it here last November.

leleboo Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Are we getting close to selecting a date? Are you still aiming for a Tuesday this month? I'm in. (StephenB -- did you do the chocolate tasting at ACKC w/the Harvard Club too? We did. And then we let our membership to the club lapse. Oops.)
