“This is a bit of an upscale tapas bar, knowledge staff, not obtrusive. It did remind me of some upscale places in Spain. Go eat tapas the Manhattans with chocolate rim omg! Food was good too!“

“This is some of the best food we've had in NY. Wonderful service and great ambiance. We got blistered shishito peppers, calamari, salmon, red shrimp, and scallops. Finished with the lava cake and the cheesecake. We didn't leave a crumb.“

“We sat outside. Our party was served quickly and efficiently. Food was very good.“

“a great Basque tapas restaurant. i wonderful gem in Chelsea!“

“i usually don't leave reviews but Salinas begs for such a stellar two words. the food was wonderful and the service was immaculate, quick, attentive and generous. we were lucky enough to try multiple items on the menu by the gratuity of the house and i must say, it made my night. shout out to the dear server, jonny, that helped us that night!“

“First time dining at ABC Cocina, and the first impression started off a little shaky. My friend and I had a 530pm reservation and walked in and stepped to the side because the host was taking care of a couple of people who had just arrived before we did.So, while we were waiting for her to finish, a three people group came up on the other side to wait as well. So after she finished taking care of the people before us, she turned to the three group party and asked how can she helped them.Now, this is when my mind begins to wonder. I know she saw us come in and step to side, waiting.The other group wasn't even there when we arrived. Graciously, the older white lady in the group said to her (host), I believe they were here before us waiting.I let her know we had reservations, and while she checked, I turned to the lady and said, "Thank you."Now, in that moment, we looked at each other, and both understood without saying a word. What had just happened.So as she takes us to our table, she sits us next to two gentlemen in the right-hand corner. So now, I'm thinking all these tables are free, why sit us here. Maybe the seating is based on the number of people from reservations.Also, the seat was shaky as well as the table. I let my waitress know, and she took the seat away and fixed the table.Now, from this point on, everything was excellent.The servers here were amazing, attentive, polite, and friendly. We had at least 5 to 6 servers back and forth at our table, making sure everything was ok with food, water, and drinks.My rankings from what we had beef tacos#1. It was the best tasting beef I ever had in a taco, amazing. #2 calamari, perfectly seasoned crispy skin outside and tender inside with the tasty pickled onions and sauce. #3 chicken tacos perfectly seasoned crispy skin outside, tender inside and flavorful. I would like maybe something else added in taco, like the beef one.#4 the mushrooms, never had these types of mushrooms before. Great flavor and nice texture with the cheese added and their hot sauce on the the table put this dish over the top.#5 Spring pea empanada was different but tasted good, hot, and cheesy. #6 guacamole was fresh and tasted good. I never had guacamole made this way before, and chips were crisp. #7 Heart of Palm Salad was good and fresh. Just could have been a little more on the plate.I had one fresh beet juice, and we also had a few basil margaritas. Overall, the food, drinks, servers, and the two gentlemen we sat next to made our experience delightful and fun.“

“It was my birthday and we celebrated at Casa Dani! The food was delicious, the place is spectacular and the attention from the team was up to par! I also want to highlight ALEX's attention! Alex gives a special service and explained everything to us. He was always attentive to what you needed and in the end we were pleased! The experience would not have been as good without Alex at the helm! It was good and even more so with Alex.“

“Wonderful service, amazing communication, great food! I hosted a larger party here and Vianca was super accommodating and clear in planning. On the day of, our waitress Maria was incredibly kind and helpful. We had a delicious prix fixe menu and we left completely stuffed. We had a great time and we're eager to go back and try more!“

“One of my favorite restaurants in the city! Their chicken liver mousse is the best, but I love that no matter what I pick from the menus or specials, I know that it’ll be amazing. Staff is also really friendly and accommodating. I’ve been here many times and hope to go back many more!“

“Great Spanish Mercado vibe just off the High Line in the middle of Manhattan!“

“Having been to Casa Mono on more than a few occasions, I am happy to report that the quality of its appetizers and entrees remains high. We had savory pulpo a la plancha, mussels with chorizo, and sardines as appetizers before enjoying duck breast, grilled skirt steak, and pork meatballs, all of which were served in a timely manner by an attentive wait staff. We completed these dishes with a 2012 Lopez and Heredia Rioja. I recommend Casa Mono with enthusiasm!“

“This restaurant is phenomenal. The food is fantastic! So much so that we came on Cinco de Mayo and waited for a table just to get in. They do have 2 for 1 specials on drinks, but otherwise no other deals or happy hour specials. The seating is well spaced considering the restaurant is smaller. Being able to see into the kitchen as they make the food makes it that much tastier. I really feel connected when I can see them fresh pressing the tortillas ? It's very cool. I will say, the fish taco was my least favorite of the foods we ate. I felt like the actual fish got lost under the delicious sauce and well seasoned breading. It was overall tasty, but I wasn't getting much fish flavor with all the other stuff going on. Regardless, EVERYTHING we ate was BOMB and we will be back!Ate: guacamole, pulpo, tacos- fish, birria, al pastor“

“My new favorite restaurant! Everything is fresh and filling, you can taste the care and love put into the dishes. The ambiance is comforting and inviting, the kind of place you could sit and eat and drink for hours. The bartenders are very nice. 10/10“
