La Cuchara

“My wife found this place to celebrate my birthday here and it was super special. The ambiance is great. The service very attentive. The food is very special, a combination of tapas, charcuterie, and other Spanish specialties. They also brought a sorbet for my birthday. The duck, croquetas, empanadas, and the crudo were the highlights of the night. The churros could've been better.”

“We scored on a Sunday evening after the Steelers beat the Ravens. Truly a destination meal as you drove through a myriad of bridges, train tracks and warehouses. The Basque flavors were popping on all our tapas especially the Pan Con Tomate, Spinach / Gruyere croquettes, shrimp and oysters. The potatoes were phenominal and the bread is baked in house and take a loaf home!”

“La Cuchara is definitely worth a visit. Parking is directly out font and there were plenty of spaces on a Saturday evening. We made a reservation in advance, but they also gave a large bar area. The menu includes small bites, tapas, entrees, and tinned seafood options. Once seated, they give you a few slices of their fresh baked bread, and you can order a loaf to take home! We loved the onion and garlic bread. There is quite a lot to choose from on the main menu and they have a large wine list. We ordered the 12-month aged Jamon (to die for), the shrimp, oyster fritters, and lobster broth mushrooms. Our service was great- thanks to Amanda for some bread to take home after they ran out of the onion/garlic bread. Attentive service and friendly staff.”

“Don’t seem to recall how this made it to my hit list. I’m glad it was. Since we were not as hungry, we ordered small plates like croquetas, small empanadas, candy bar dessert, and fried oysters to share. The only disappointment was not having jamon iberico on the menu. Will certainly go again to try the wines and anything grilled. They have the grill I’ve seen in Spain. Service was attentive.”

“Great servers polite, knowledgeable, and very nice. Kudos to them. The craziness for the evening - you have a set menu and first they run out of the main entree then they substitute it for another type of fish and right when all the entrees were due to come, they tell us they ran out of the substitute! Wow! Don’t recommend to come here for special events. Otherwise, this is a good restaurant.”
