“I love this little place! The food is always on point! The ceviche mixto was absolutely fantastic and every time I have gone or ordered frog this place , the service has been excellent! I’ve had to substitute items because i have a limited diet and they have been wonderfully accommodating! THANK YOU!!“
“I can't say enough good things about this place. The food was delicious! I loved the family feel and the whole atmosphere. When I'm back in town, I am going to make it a mission to go back to this restaurant. Everyone is so friendly.“
“Totally recommended!! As a Galician, I confirm that it is a very good option to drink good beer (Estrella Galicia) accompanied by the best tapas in the city!! And in line with the rest of the comments... I very much agree with the good rating of the gin and tonics!!“
“Excellent experience! Wonderful chuletón with vegetables sides and very enjoyable sangria. Fabian gave us a very warm and caring service as well as Vivian. We loved the atmosphere and the food’s quality is A+!!! We absolutely recommend the Salinas dining experience!“
“ngl good food and ambiance, but they charged an extra $10 to my card and never responded to my messages and email (they don’t have a phone number), so be careful and check your card statementsupdate: they got back to me after i wrote this review (1 star), so i’m bumping this back upupdate 2: i went back and wasn’t charged extra, the oysters are solid“

“The food here was amazing we ordered the mar & mar with the special grilled fish special. The for the mar & mar 2 sides can be chosen but for the special it comes with rice and soup. Marjorie our server and she was very helpful with suggestions (we needed up getting the mango and guanabana smoothie). We will come here again especially for the daily special and the attentiveness.There was a hair on my fish, I didn’t mention it to the server tho.“
“There is a really nice atmosphere at Ernesto’s. The food was tasty, however I think the smaller dishes are stronger than the larger ones (so load up on these). The pricing is on the higher end eg $20 for a g&t, $34 for Iberico & crisps (chips). Our bill for 3 people and 3 drinks each came to $400+“
“Wow! Some of the best food I have had in the city! Was looking for a nice place for dinner on a Saturday night, happened to find this place and they were super accommodating without a reservation. Our server, Dulce, was personable and attentive and took such good care of us. We will be coming back, highly recommend!“
“This is the second time that we have eaten at this gem near the theater district. We were there for lunch. We each had sangria, I had the seafood paella and my wife had a shrimp burrito. Great food, friendly service and very reasonable pricing“
“best tapas outside of spain, and fair prices for the quality and taste, freshness too.used to be on 19st pre pandemic this location is beautiful. staff very friendly. we’ve been all over, to thousands of restaurants in the city and this is one of our favorites.Kid-friendliness: lots of families and lots of space“
“Really good food and aesthetic atmosphere! Loved the nachos and quesadillas it was really fresh and delicious! Jessie was our server and she was very attentive and made sure we are okay at all times. It was my birthday and I really enjoyed celebrating here!“
“I recently dined at Vinateriá and I must say, the food and service were absolutely phenomenal. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and seated promptly. The menu offered a variety of authentic Italian dishes, and everything we tried was delicious. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the sauce was rich and flavorful. The service was attentive, friendly, and truly made our dining experience exceptional. I would definitely return to this restaurant in the future and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic Italian meal. 5/5 stars.“
“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!“
“Came here on a Friday night with a group of four and had a wonderful experience. The place was packed but the service was still incredible. Not only was the food wonderful, but this is one of the few places in NYC where you aren’t rushed out. We ordered the paella, ravioli, multiple apps, and sangria. Major shout out to Jose for the wonderful service and night!“
“Such a beautiful space, delicious tapas, warm staff, great wine selection, clean and the prices a great! Great space fir meetings, lunch, dinner, … Did I mention they have a nice Happy Hour!? Yes they do! I have recommended it and will definitely revisit“
“Siento de Corazón que el dueño haya fallecido en un incidente de verdad era una gran persona y trabajo muchísimo para dejar su legado ? La comida es 5 estrellas servicio lo único es que debe decirle a los clientes que la propina está incluida a veces falta de comunicación pero el lugar es increíble el picante la comida es súper increíble“
“The food is great and the ambience is great. The greeter seemed to be in the wrong position. Very unfriendly. Not even a smile.Also, we had a guest in our party with a seafood allergy who asked about their handling of this. The response was “I don’t think this is a problem” we had to ask them to confirm.“
“I really wanted to love this place, having heard great reviews from friends. But … I found the food to be lacking in taste (particularly the Gilda and Kroketas) and the presentation was similar to what my mother would have done. Not bad, just average. I read about its Basque heritage but nothing about the restaurant and food really felt Basque to me (and I lived in Spain for a few years, working in the Basque Country). And more importantly, I found the wine to be middling. Nonetheless, my friend and I had a great time and the service was excellent.“
“I had lunch with 9 people and everyone was delighted with the experience and the meal. There is valet parking in the parking.It started with olives and Portuguese bread. Next came the salad. The entrees were served with vegetables and wonderful homemade French fries.The lunch came with churros and a small cup of chocolate for dunking which was sooo good! We didn't know that so we also had Portuguese custard cups and they were wonderful.“
“Comida Buenisima... Lo único tienes que pedir los platos iguales como estan en la carta... Eramos 4 y nos cobraron 5 platos... Deberian de cambiar esto no todas las personas pueden comer el plato exacto como lo tienen... ppr un mofongo aparte nos cobraron el plato del mofongo completo...“
“My Husband and I make an attempt to come here for dinner prior to whenever we go to the Lincoln Center! We love it so much we've found ourselves returning just to introduce other friends to this place. The food is fantastic, ambience is beautiful, fun, and lively, and service is attentive but relaxed. It beats out some of the top restaurants in flatiron and west village for us.“
“There is not much variety of food, the atmosphere is good but there is no place to give celebration surprises, I didn't like that. I went to celebrate my first year anniversary and I couldn't give the surprise because they didn't do that there. That's what I liked. I'm quite disappointed.“
“The front of the house is also the bartender and manages staff deftly. The servers are efficient but personable. The food selection is creative - every dish from the lamb skewers on toast, to grilled salmon with spinach was excellent. Even the churros with chocolate sauce were hot and light. The atmosphere is warm, and inviting. Could this be a neighborhood restaurant in Barcelona? Tremendous all around value.“
“Casa d'paco in ❤️I would give 10 stars to this place if I could.Service was awesome, staff is really friendly and helpfull, always smiling.The food is out of this world, we loved everything we ate, it was delicious, the best food we had during this 9-days trip in USA.“
“My goto place for the best roasted chicken in the area. Their motto - El Rey Del Pollo - King of the Roast Chicken. Also tried their other dishes today like the sautéed pork chops and the grouper fish fillet sautéed, with side dishes of red black beans, maduros, steamed vegetables, and yellow rice. All were generous and delicious. Also ordered their Malecon cocktail, diet soda, and finished off with an authentic Tres Leches dessert. We were so full and we still had lots of food to take home. We actually over-ordered. Service was very friendly, attentive, and efficient. Ambiance is cozy and contemporary. The place was packed on a Sunday lunch, very popular.Parking: Predominantly street parking, free on certain times and days. Paid parking garage nearby.“
“Extremely overpriced food for those who have been to Spain - it’s not supposed to cost this much. The whole point is to enjoy the dining experience. Good vibe and tasty food though, but not worth the money. You can make it better at home :)“
“Excellent Spanish restaurant. You feel as if you were in a tasca madrileña. The atmosphere is great. The attention superb and the dishes we tried, all excellent. The navajas, serrano ham, pan tumaca and all seafood are excellent. Good selection of wines. Worth to come back.!“
“I had such a great time at Dora's Thursday happy hour. Great place to reunite with friends. Food was good, drinks well priced and the owner was a delight. My steak came out a little less red than I like but the flavor was delicious. One of my friends requested to add chicken to her pasta and the owner was happy to accommodate and my friend loved her dish.Vegetarian options: No meat Pasta, salad and vegetable dishes were on the menu .Dietary restrictions: There was enough of a variety for all to enjoy.Wheelchair accessibility: There was a gentleman in a wheelchair that appeared to be able to get around easily. Spacious dining area.“
“The food was amazing! Great mix of Latin cuisine with unique flavors and fresh ingredients. The service was excellent, friendly staff. I was with my dog and it was easy to get a table outdoors.We ordered the pre-fixed menu for two: great amount of food worth the money. I loved the rice with chicken, the tuna tart and the churros were awesome, the chocolate was delicious.The music and atmosphere was great. I’ll definitely come back.“
“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“
“Flavorful and satisfying!We started with the Callos, which combined a slightly sweet delectable sauce with astoundingly tender chopped tripe (I would liken it to a savory marshmallow, almost). The chorizo and garbanzo played their part serviceably.We followed it with the Uni Palabok. The uni and caviar were very tasty, and it was nice to try quality ingredients. However, the relative intensity of the sauce somewhat drowned out the more delicate flavors of the uni and caviar.(From my wife who grew up eating Palabok, it is *extremely* elevated)Our last entree was the Lengua de Champinon, and it was phenomenal! The tongue was expertly cooked and wonderfully tender, and the creamy mushroom sauce was a great pairing for it.For dessert, they don't have it listed on the menu yet, but they had some Tres Leches cake available. The cake was perfectly saturated with milk sauce while maintaining it's form, and instead of the standard whipped cream, it had meringue on top which was quite interesting!It was a bit pricey, but the menu is online so that's no surprise.“
“Everything about this restaurant is just lovely--the food, the atmosphere, the service, and the drinks! If you're looking for excellent Spanish seafood in a lively atmosphere with moody lighting, highly recommend Casa Dani. I took a couple clients to dinner and could navigate the food menu just fine but I know almost nothing about Spanish wine. The tall (and handsome) sommelier was so knowledgeable and attentive, it really made the experience a memorable one. Will definitely return!“
“Excellent food! The service was great. We went twice during our trip to NY and the place was packed on both occasions. We were given champagne on the house for being repeat customers, it was a nice suprise. Wonderful atmosphere, highly recommend a visit.“
“For more than a decade, Socarrat has been our go-to spot in Manhattan, and it feels like visiting an old friend every time we walk through the door. From our first taste in 2010, this charming restaurant has never failed to deliver top-notch quality and hospitality. The cozy ambiance sets the stage for an evening filled with laughter and amazing food. With each visit, we're treated to a delightful journey through Spanish cuisine, with dishes bursting with flavor and love. Whether it's sharing tapas with friends or diving into a paella masterpiece, Socarrat's warmth and deliciousness keep us coming back for more. Cheers to another decade of unforgettable dining experiences at Socarrat!“
“Loved this spot! We came for an early dinner and the restaurant was fairly empty but filled up later during reg dinner hours. Food arrived quickly and was delish! The highlight for me was the portobello carpaccio (not pictured). The tapas are nicely sized for being tapas. We got sangrias but I'd probably try a cocktail or do a white wine next time. They did kindly give us complimentary white wine which was super sweet! Dessert was delish and I'd def try the chocolate mousse next time as well. We luckily got seated at the front of the restaurant so it was nice and private plus it made for great people watching. I'd def come back!“
“Yes Mama is one of the best discoveries of Astoria this year!Jessica runs the business all by herself and does a damn good job of it! Not only did she cook homemade Puerto Rican recipes, but she hires entertainment along with having a great selection of wine.I had the Carne Guisada (beef stew with white rice) and it felt like I was eating a mother’s cooking. Paired it with a couple glasses of Rosasera and a lovely Latin jazz band playing in the background and it was heaven. There were even some board games for us the play with while we waited on our food.Topped off the night by splitting a plate of the coquito flan served with the most adorable heart shaped spoons. It was so rich and decadent.If you live in or venture out to Astoria, please please please pay this place a visit! You’ll be so happy you did!“
“We celebrated our wedding ceremony and reception at MyMoon in October 2023 with a party of 75 people. We cannot fully express how wonderful the whole experience was for us. The venue was everything we wanted- Spanish decor, moody, romantic, cozy, and beautiful greenery in the courtyard and deck. The food and cocktails were delicious! Our event coordinator, Lee, is knowledgeable, super responsive, and organized. The staff was well equipped, attentive, and knew how to run an event. Our wedding went smoothly and Lee was there to address any unexpected concerns and provide support throughout the day. Our guests were surprised by this hidden gem in Brooklyn and expressed how much they enjoyed their time! We would love to attend a wedding here as guests!“
“Uncle Peter’s was a wonderful dining experience! The service was great. Our entrees included the grilled skirt steak and pesto gnocchi. The steak was cooked to perfection, and the pesto gnocchi was very delicious— a great vegetarian option. The crème brûlée was fantastic, and delicious cocktails as well. Everything was top notch quality and there is nothing better than that ✨ would 100% come back and recommend to others ?“

“Wonderful gem of a restaurant. Authentic Spanish food (as far as I could tell!) lovely people helped us celebrate birthdays. Make a reservation for inside seating to see the food being prepared in the open kitchen! Will be back and bring friends!“
“I truly, truly love Babs. I've been coming here for a few years specifically for the oysters with the champagne mignonette - it's phenomenal. The ambiance is sophisticated and intimate, great for a small group of friends or a date. It pains me to give them four stars but I have to because of the service - I swear the waitress looked right at my friend and I waiting for a table and hid in the back. There were plenty of tables, so the bartender asked us if we'd like to sit, and then went and asked her to seat us. I felt like everything we asked for bothered her and I couldn't say thank you enough. Maybe it was an off night for her I'm not sure but from other reviews seems to be a theme. Go for the food and the bar! The location is amazing and it's nice to sit outside in warm weather.“
“Always have such a good experience when I dine here. The food is incredible. Drinks are tasty and fun. The staff is always so welcoming and lovely. Definitely recommend for a date night or a night out with friends! Oh and the churros are out of this world!“
“Walk into Basque country, enjoy wonderful food experiences and atmosphere. A special place- a gem hidden in the Ironbound, where you are transported into a culinary adventure to be shared with family and friends. A formal restaurant and lively soccer bar, enjoy both and La Liga matches surrounded by true aficionados who regular there. After your first visit, there remains a constant call to return and repeat the same, again and again and again..... Enjoy“
“Had a cute date here with my partner after wanting to try this place for a long time. I’m from spain and I thought the food was great actually! We got the setas, pulpo, and paella de mariscos. All of the seafood was tasty and cooked really well. Definitely will return.“
“Delicious and authentic Puerto Rican food. The yellow rice is soft and tasty; it is very well made. The pernil is also very well cooked but does lack a bit of seasoning, it still taste good but I think they cook can add a bit more seasoning to it and it will be PERFECT! I always feel like I am back at home whenever I order from Mis Raices.“
“The churros were amazingly good, they greeted us kindly it’s definitely worth checking out not expensive like other places, there’s only one problem and that is there was a line for the valentine special and there were two women who just skipped the line and pretended to have a friend “waiting for them” so be attentive of who’s in front of you other than that 10/10 place!“
“Another wonderful evening at El Born. Came here to celebrate my birthday with family and the food was amazing. Great service and chill atmosphere. Ordered the Seaford Paella, lso the small fideo paella, several delightful appetizers and fresh white Sangria. Do try the papa bravas and the Grilled Octopus, so good. Highly recommend!!Kid-friendliness: High chair available“
“Found this place on a whim while waiting for Movies with Lin Manuel Miranda at United Palace. Pleasantly surprised by the delicious tapas- garlic shrimp, goat stuffed peppers, sangria and little seafood burrito- and service. Will be back for more!“
“Pil Pil gives the complete dining experience! Tapas style allows you to explore a bunch of different dishes and flavors, and they know how to combine flavors! SUCH a cozy atmosphere too, feels like you’re dining in a vineyard. The service is warm and welcoming.The Pan con Tomate was a great starter — perfectly toasted with fresh tomatoes on top. These guys do chorizo right ?? Empanadillas de Puerco y Chorizo and the Spanish chorizo were some of my favorite dishes. Highly recommend trying the chorizo! Mac & Cheese croquetas were bomb! Worth getting for the table. Carne Adobada and fries were delightful — tender, savory skirt steak and I LOVED the seasoned fries and sauce duo. If you’re into coffee, end the meal with the espresso ice cream. It’s the right amount of bitter and creamy.Highly recommend this place for quality food, new flavors, calming atmosphere, and friendly service.“
“Today I ordered food for Lunch, super delicious.I recommend the broth, the corviches and the breaded chicken, it's super delicious, the house mayonnaise and spicy sauce is delicious and the portions are very large... it's totally worth it, it takes you back to our country completely.I always order from my Ubereats account and they send me little notes, this time my husband asked for it and he didn't feel that love haha“
“I like to eat here. The bread and coffee are delicious! They should improve the way the waiter serves customers. When I was at this restaurant, I had chicharrón, and it was almost cold. Another dish I had was delicious, but it presentation was not good.“
