Average. Patatas bravas (Spanish for fried potato chunks with mayo and tomato sauce) and can of Miller Lite was great. Other than that, the waitress was nice.

The atmosphere was very good, low light setting, very old industrial/confy style restaurant, loved the lamp hummus !!! And the cheese tray! Tapas. We had the lamp chops over black lentils.. awesome!

Fantastic atmosphere, simple menu yet complex flavors that sustain the palate's interest, an appropriate wine list, fabulously creative cocktails, finest coffee in town and a professional and knowledgeable staff all make The National THE local restaurant of choice for any special occasion or as a unique treat. Try the stuffed dates with the cheese plate as appetizers. The Hanger steak and trout never fail. The National is worth every penny.
