The atmosphere in this restaurant is very close the an Israeli wedding, loud music, big tables, everyone one is sharing and laughing and enjoying their time.Regarding the food, we ordered 6 dishes, only one of them stood out, the oyster mushrooms, the rest were lack of flavor and seasoning.The best thing there was the bread, so soft!

I came here with a couple friends and wow I mean, I've had my fair share of Mediterranean before, but this place takes it to a whole new level! The vibe is super cool, perfect for a night out with friends or a low-key date. And the food? AMAZING!Every single dish we tried was perfect.The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable too, so you can trust them to guide you through the menu.All in all, Tapas Bar is a total gem and I can't wait to go back!

Love this restaurant!!!!! The Jerusalem Bagel with the dips and chopped liver was amazing, drinks were great, the prime rib and sashimi were very good. All in all, the restaurant has been a real find for us!!

We went to this restaurant to celebrate my mother's 70th birthday. I made it clear from the start that it was her birthday, and I even mentioned it in the reservation. However, the ambiance of the restaurant was quite disappointing. It was very cold inside, forcing us to keep our jackets on, and the choice of music, heavy metal, was completely out of place for a dining establishment. The volume was excessively loud with heavy metal in a cold, underwhelming, and overpriced restaurant with pushy service, what made the experience unpleasant. Despite the quick service, our server was overly pushy. She tried to upsell us on a bottle of champagne, even though only my mom would be drinking. When we declined, she seemed disappointed and continued to push other drinks and menu items on us. She recommended more food than we could eat and pressured us into ordering extras, making us feel like we were bargaining in a market. While the food tasted good, it was outrageously expensive for the small portions. For example, a regular hummus plate cost around $15 but came without any bread or accompaniments. Other restaurants typically provide bread before the meal, and it was odd not to receive any with the hummus. Additionally, three lamb chops for $90 seemed excessive. Despite mentioning my mother's birthday several times, there was no acknowledgment from the restaurant. We watched as they celebrated other occasions, but when it came time for my mother's celebration, they ignored us and instead pressured us to order dessert, even though we were too full. When my son asked for a candle without dessert, the server implied that it might be inappropriate to make a fuss over my mother's age. At the end of the meal, there was no gesture of appreciation or acknowledgment of the occasion. We left the restaurant feeling like our experience didn't matter to them, despite spending over $300 for dinner. It was a disappointing experience, and I won't be returning for any future celebrations

Our party of 8 had a terrific first experience coming to TLV Tapas! We had a blast celebrating a birthday and will definitely be coming back again for more fun occasions. The dj played lively music that made us want to dance in our seats (sometimes around the table) , the service was great all night, and drinks and tapas were delicious. When booking, I put VIP seating which means upstairs on the balcony which is a little more secluded and private, not so loud, fewer tables so not as crowded and close as the ones in the main room downstairs.

Amazing Israeli and Moroccan food. Really high quality, recommend the chicken plate, tahini/hummus, and skirt steak kabob but everything was excellent.

Absolutely loved dining at TLV Tapas. The Mediterranean / Israeli tapas style experience was a culinary adventure. Each dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented but the Sea Bass was by far the best Sea Bass I have ever tasted. I would also highly recommend the Jerusalem Bagel with Hummus. The ambiance was inviting and upbeat, perfect for sharing plates with friends or family. The staff was super attentive and friendly and made some great drinks recommendations The overall dining experience was enjoyable from start to finish, can't wait to come back for more!

Love everything about this place! The food, the service, the vibe is all so good! The music does get too loud for me as the night goes on especially when you're with a lot friends and want to talk! But, we knew what we were signing up for, and will again and again!

I went to TLV Tapas Bar last week and shared a meal with my colleagues. The food was really good. Keep in mind this is a Tapas place. So the food portion is small. It is designed to order multiple dishes and nib from each other's plate. I ordered the Chicken Musakhan. It was so soft and tasty. Also, you must try the Jerusalem Bagel. It was so warm and fresh and soft. Delicious. It is not a cheap place to go particularly because the food portions. Ideally a good place to bring a date and you won't feel stuffed (which I like). The ambiance was nice and the lights were dimmed. However, there must've been at least 6 people having birthdays that night. The music was a little loud for my taste. Other than that I would say it was perfect. I would definitely go back and I recommend you should try it too. The servers were on top of their game. The one negative thing about this place was that they don't have Macallan single scotch malt. Apparently something to do with kosher drinks.
