🤮 1/5 - I wasn't impressed -- I rarely write reviews -- but this place is out and out bad

My wife took me to this place to celebrate my 60-th anniversary. I've traveled in Spain a bit and am familiar with Spanish food. As a plus, the restaurant itself is very nice. It's not noisy. The tables aren't too close together. The service is very good. It was cold out -- the place would be nice to frequent in warm weather (if they get a new chef). If that's what floats your boat, then this is the place for you. A server wiped off our table a total of four times during the meal. But I go out to eat primarily for the food -- and this is where this place loses me. I don't know how so many people give it raving reviews. Freakin' Awesome? Do you frequent Appleby's? PULPO A LA PLANCHA -- $30 -- Galician Style Octopus, Smoked Potato, Spiced Black Garlic Sauce -- The Octopus was so tough and chewy, I couldn't cut it with the provided butter knife. I love octopus, but this was awful. Maybe the 'chef' ought to take a road trip up to Baltimore to the Greek place Samos to learn how to cook it. PAN CON TOMATE -- $15 -- Catalan Crisp Bread, Toamtoes, Garlic, Extra Virgin Olive Oil -- Add Jamon Serrano Mangalitsa 10 -- This was toast with what tasted like Ragu canned tomato sauce on it. They forgot to mention a couple olives also adorn this master piece -- which made it inedible for my wife. Perhaps i should have spent the extra $10 to have 1/100 of an ounce of hamon added. PESCADO Y MARISCOS -- $100 for 2 | $200 for 4 -- Maine Lobster, Prawn, PEI Mussels, Monkfish, Calamari --- It came with 2 huge shrimp, and when pulled from the pan, revealed very little else. The pictures from the website must have been taken in better times when seafood was cheaper and more plentiful. Would it really cost that much to add a few extra mussels and clams? The rice was overly spiced, and over cooked. A good bit of it was stuck to the bottom of the pan. Nothing like paying $100 for a pan of over cooked rice. The wine -- The sommelier came to the table as I was looking at the wine list. I asked if they had a dry rose. He got us one. It was your typical $12 grocery store bottle of wine for $80 -- but that's dining in the U.S. for you. Can't really criticize Del Mar for taking part marking up bottle of wine by 10X. I wish he'd just been honest and said no and offered up a decent white wine. OK, its in DC, so you pay $40 (with tip) to get parking. So with the cocktails (meh) and tip, we were closing in on $400 for the night. What a let down for my 60-th birthday. And my poor wife, who picked this place out, is feeling bad about such a lousy meal when its not her fault.
