“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“
“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!“
“Highly recommend Bar Vinazo. I was there with a large group and we had arranged a tasting menu. Everything was delicious. From the bread (sourced from Winner) to the olives/cheese to the croquetas to the tortillas española to the-out-of this-world chicken, we couldn't go wrong. The chef is clearly talented. The service was also impeccable. I will be back.“
“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“
“This place, to me, is such an under-rated, undiscovered gem. Every time we are theremcrowded, we keep expecting it to be way more crowded as it's not a huge place, but the food and service are on par with some of the best tapas places around. And the prices are also Very reasonable too. They are unique, in that they are more Argentinian tapas then Spanish or Basque. So, in addition to favorites like paella, grilled octopus, and patatas bravas, there's also a decent selection of pastas and Italian fair via Argentina. And in warmer weather, the back garden can't be beat. Always fun music playing (often 80s dance or rock hits), homemade sangrias and a finished meal with free shots of Limoncello round out the meal. Friendly, top-notch service too. Let's keep this place going! They'd be worth the wait.“
“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.“
“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“
“I do eat here twice a week at least near by my job I love them chicken roasted with fries salad and rice for less then 14$ them prices fair specially happy hour drink 8$ that super good for upscale restaurantCustomer service is so great and professional I love the lights and the setting I’m loyal there lol“
“Went here for dinner midweek. Food was excellent. Great apps including empanadas. The beef one was exceptional. Also had a salmon crudo app which was on special. Many specials at this place. Fish is a specialty I went with halibut which came with an awesome leek based sauce. My friend had a steak and it came with an awesome sauce too. Desert was a banana bread pudding in a sugary sauce again. This place has sauce!! Service nice and friendly quite attentive. Place is big with a nice seating area downstairs as well as a private room highly recommended go check it out.“
“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...“
“Wow!! Just around the corner from where I live and so glad I stopped in!!! The food is so fresh and well seasoned and flavorful. I had the garlic shrimp, meatballs and half chicken. The meatballs have a little lemon which I've never had and makes them so fresh. The shrimp was perfectly cooked and the chicken was tender and bright. So satisfying. Great and friendly service. Can't wait to come back.“
“I had a great time on Friday night at our friend's birthday celebration at Marbella. The staff is wonderful, so friendly ! Marcello was very attentive and made sure we had a great time AND we always had a drink. A++ The room is very spacious and festive. The cocktail hour was great! Had a lot of my favorite bites, like seafood croquettes and tortilla espanola! Dinner was lovely, buffet with items such as pork loin, arroz con pollo and stuffed filet of sole which I really enjoyed. (if u know me, you know i dont eat fish, my hubby couldnt believe i ate this piece of sole! so good!) Lastly...Sangria, my drink of choice always...was a constant on the table and I couldnt be happier! I will definately be visiting the restaurant very soon!“
“Fatima's is the best. I got the pernil, which I don't see on the "dishes I recommend" list, and that is a crime because this pernil was *amazing.* Also just plain old rice and beans, I don't know what they do to them but even the next day when they were cold they were still the best damn rice and beans I've ever had.“
“This is our second time of many at Sangarita's. The calamari, paella mariscos, pulpo (octopus), tuna tar tar, Cubano sandwich tapas , drinks are amazing. You want a mix of lychee martinis and tapas, this is your place! I am a foodie and been all over New York and more and this place has fresh seafood and great entrees. The flan and churros are a must. Juan and his team are great and we will be back for my cousin's birthday! Check Sangarita's out at Bell Blvd“
“We had a great dinner at ABC Cocina last night. All the food was delicious including the guac, patatas bravas, fluke crudo, hearts of palm salad and tacos. We also loved the speciality margaritas and the churros for dessert. The meal was a little spendy but at least you get what you pay for unlike many other overpriced restaurants in NYC these days.“
“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.“
“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.!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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!“
“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 ?“
“Gave this place a try a week ago and it was pretty good. Nothing we had was what I would call "ground breaking" but it was pretty solid for classics. The pancakes were very fluffy and fat but held good flavor too. For some reason I just had to try this places chopped cheese (my local bodega stopped selling food and switched to weed) and yea I've had better chopped cheeses but it did scratch that itch when you're craving one. I got the energizer juice also which was on par with others no notes. All in all the place is studry it sells what it's good at and seems to have a following of customers that appreciate that.“
“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.“
“It's a very nice little place, they have a live Jazz band on Wednesdays, the drummer also does a karaoke night. He's absolutely fantastic, very funny and no matter how many or little people are there he tries to involve everyone there, it's great.. If you participate you get a little trophy ? you must go at least once.. it really is a little hidden gem!! ??“
“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“
“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.“
“Food was delicious. we had stuffed mushrooms, fried calamari, shrimp with garlic sauce, chorizo with peppers and onions for appetizers. I had Fideau with seafood it was delicious. Healthy portions. Service was exceptional!! Others had seafood paella, veal chop, shrimp. I recommend this restaurant ❤“
“Very good service, the girl who served me was very friendly, she was always attentive to me, she treated me very well, I loved her service, the order was prepared very quickly, they didn't make you wait so long and the food was very good by the way, the drink too very good, pina coladas recommended. I liked!!!Kid-friendliness: The place is good to go and share with the family, very safe.“
“Easy 5 stars, even with a long wait for the bar… b/c they were fully booked and we came in on a Saturday evening with no reservation at the last minute, so that was COMPLETELY understandable. I’m only mentioning it b/c i recommend getting a reservation and so that if you go, and it’s busy, be prepared to wait, but it is worth worth it! They even brought out two tapas to thank us for waiting it out. The octopus (seared perfectly), and mushroom croquettes were his favorite, while the shishito peppers, and camarones de ajillo were my strong favorites (I needed more bread for the amazing hot garlic olive oil at the bottom). I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you have any interest in Spanish tapa style of food. The potatoes bravas were good, I like mine super crispy so I would ask for that the next time. I had cava this time, but they have some amazing sangria and cocktails.“
“The Food at Brisas Del Mar is in Far Rockaway the food looked absolutely delicious there were some good choices to choose from that was on their menu and the service was good I was taken care right away and the price was good for what I picked out I would go again when I get the chance check them out if you're in the area ???“
“Great chicken steak sandwichGreat chicken shwarmaHe has fries better than McDonald's.... yes better than!Wings are really good! Add any of the sauces to your liking. I had the regular honey, so good! Will try the fried chicken next time I go!“
“Unfortunately I am attempting to finish this review in 2024, long after visiting this establishment so I do not recall my visit here besides giving it 5/5 stars. So in my very trusted book of ratings, I absolutely enjoyed this spot and the food was amazing. So I'll be back and do a better job reviewing next time.“
“Juan was a consummate professional. This is proper old school Spanish food. Like going back in time but not stale in any way. Menu is extensive and classic in the sense the dish titles say it all - no flowery ingredient descriptions needed. Perfect temperature and seasoning of classic dishes.“
“So happy to have found this Spanish food place. Been here twice... both times the food was fresh and delish. Baked chicken was well seasoned and juicy but my favorite will always be ox tail. They did not disappoint. Not the friendliest service but fast and efficient.“
“As a long time patron this place is home away from home.The food is always great,the drinks are made with care and love and the staff is amazing.Friendly,attentive and responsible for the ambiance in either the dining room side or the bar side it is as close to automatic as you can get when wanting a local bar.Cesar,Alvaro and the gang always make sure the experience is up to standards and do it with“
“On a very rainy night Comfortable seat at the bar.

And flan was the dessert It's a go to for a single person dinner romantic one with someone special or larger party's the place is very inviting once inside. Don't let the old outside fool you.“

“Omg I have eaten lots of ribs in my years, but p&c spanish restaurant knock it out of the park and then some, the ribs so tender and it tasted like you are actually eating a pernil from old school cook, please don't ever change it I love it the best I ever ate,Kid-friendliness: They are friendly with everyone.“
“Went for a spur of the moment late dinner of small plates with no expectations and were very pleased with the result. A great spot to exit the bustle of Metropolitan Avenue. The mussels were excellent and the other items on the menu, while not innovative, were very well executed.“
“Good food! Excellent service! The waitress was very nice and attentive and the food was delicious. I had the special of the day. It was soup with potatoes and meat. Not 100% sure what I ate exactly, but it hit the spot. It was perfect for the weather and was incredibly filling. And for just $12!“
“I’ve been a customer for over 30+ years and can only say that El Cantinero has gotten even better over time. The food is excellent and the drinks, especially the margaritas, are, in my opinion, the best in the city. Their staff is amazing, especially the team of Junior and Edgar. They are by far the most competent, efficient, professional, quick and friendly guys I have ever had the pleasure to meet. They go above and beyond to accommodate their customers requests and ensure the customers have the best experience possible. I hope management takes note and values them as the excellent employees they are. Keep up the good work guys!“
“My go-to Mexican spot in greenpoint for pick up or dine in. The food is always so fresh, down to every ingredient. They have so many options and even offer specials. Although we pick up often don't sleep on dining in. The staff is always so nice and suggest new dishes. One of my favorite spots, always great “
“I live in New Jersey and I had to make a stop on 14th street yesterday 3/21/24 and when I was walking I came across Tio Pio ? then I went to the place I ad to go after I finished I stopped at Tio Pio and grab some food before heading back on the train to Jersey, the food at Tio Pio is amazing and fresh I definitely will be back??the staff there was very nice to me and very welcoming??And fyi you get your money worth cause it came out meal for twoAnd their beef empanadas with dipping sauce is amazinggg ?“
“I really liked this place, it has a nice cozy atmosphere and interesting interior with a lot of unique details. There are separate tables and bar counters. Their menu offers a variety of delicious treats, from ramen to steak. I definitely recommend it, and come here again.“
“It was nice to find a Halal place where I could sit down and eat. My only takeback was that I was hoping to find the usual chicken over rice or chicken Gyro, but they serve chicken, biryani, and other Indian base Halal foods. That was not an issue as what I ordered tasted very good. I had grilled chicken over salad and my friend had chicken tacos. There was a variety of food choices, so you will definitely find what you like and the food is tasty.“
“Great food, great drinks. The staff is always super friendly, and attentive. I order something different every time I come here and have never been disappointed.The room can be a quite loud when it's busy which is not due rowdy customers, but rather the lack of acoustic treatment in the room.I would highly recommend this place if you're in the area.“
