New Arlington Restaurant to Open Patio, Launch Brunch Menu

Sunny weather is on its way this weekend, and what better way to relax than with friends at a neighborhood restaurant?

Beginning this weekend, SER Restaurant will officially open their outdoor patio dining area and launch their weekend brunch service. Located at 1110 North Glebe Road in Arlington, SER will offer seating for up to 40 on the patio welcoming guests with the relaxing option of dining al fresco with plans to expand seating for up to 100, pending approval from the city.

The patio features bright decor complete with splashes of lemon yellow, turquoise, bright white and rustic wood elements, and the area will also be framed by several planters packed with vibrant flowers. In the near future, SER also looks forward to offering happy hour and other specials to guests dining on the patio.

SER Restaurant will launch its new weekend brunch service available on Saturdays and Sundays, from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Guests are invited to enjoy SER’s twist on creative brunch cocktails including an assortment of Bellinis, Bloody Maria’s - including the “Andalusian Bloody,” with gazpacho, spices, and vodka, and “Javier’s Hangover Helper,” with Oloroso Don Nuño sherry, tomato juice and spices, and an assortment of house-made Sangrias - red, white and sparkling.

Hungry? Signature savory brunch dishes include Jumbo Lump Crabmeat Cocktail with Salsa Rosa, Octopus Picadillo, an assortment of Mariscos/Seafood Towers, Jamon Pata Negra carved tableside, Market Salad, Huevos Fritos served with two sunny side up organic eggs, your choice of serrano ham, chorizo sausage, or morcilla (blood sausage), and Spanish fries, the Sara Montiel Sandwich or “aka the way to Marlon Brando’s heart” served with a fried egg, jamon Serrano, and garlic chips, the Serranito Sandwich with grilled pork loin, deep fried peppers, and jalapeño mayo, the SER Cheeseburger with Mahon cheese, bacon, Spanish fries, grilled onions sandwich, and bravas sauce, and Huevos a La Cazuela - an egg casserole, serrano ham, green peas, and tomato, just to highlight a few.

“Where I’m originally from - the Basque Country - family and friends often gather on the weekends between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. to partake in something we call Hora de Vermouth,” said Executive Chef and Owner Josu Zubikarai. “It’s somewhat similar to the brunch experience in America, but we typically enjoy it as a late breakfast with beverages such as Txakoli (if you’re from the North like me) or Sherry (if you’re from the South), as we prepare to indulge in a late and lengthy lunch a bit later on in the day. It’s a fun way to relax, enjoy the weekend, and catch up with everyone over great food and drinks.”
