Great service and good food. I enjoyed my server Leonardo attention to details. The dessert was so good I didn't get a picture of it, crema catalana was awesome.

Pleasantly surprised to find this walk-in happy hour at the bar on a Sunday afternoon.

So frickin' loud! What's with the loud? Yeah, Spanish, I get it. I get it. Spanish music. But I came for the food, and to talk with the people I'm with. Is this the most important thing to lead-off on the review? Yes. Yes it is. That's what's most memorable. The food is pretty good, for sure. A little pricey for the portions, but...tasty and clearly competently prepared. Just ditch the overly-loud Spanish guitars and crooning and we'd go up a star.

Great food, service and vibe! Good cocktails and wine too. Never disappoints and food often comes out fast. One of my favorite tapas places in the area.

Sat at the bar. Service was nice although my friend's burger came out way before my food so I sat around waiting. Burger was only average.

Nice space for brunch. High tables are a little tight but doable. Standard food and drinks. Friendly staff.

The service was very attentive but the food was just so-so. Though I am usually a carnivore so my opinion may not be as valuable as others.

I was visiting a friend in the area and we decided to stop by for food and drinks, our waiter was the mustache guy, he was so nice and attentive and suggested the most delicious tapas and cocktails, I really enjoyed the potatoes bravas, the sprouts and grilled octopus, as for drinks we were recommended the margaritas(yummy) and sangria, we had an excellent evening, thank you mustache guy, we will be coming back soon!

Only had happy hour drinks and a snack but enjoyed our experience! Monday afternoon & most places were closed or dead-Ella had some people so we popped in. Our bartertender, Rosie, was lovely and did a great job even though it was her very first day behind the bar! Want to come back again. They have a popular lunch special but no vegetarian options on the special. They do have quite a few vegetarian appetizers and a few entrees.

Food is not that great for the price. The menu was pretty small and nothing I got tasted very good. Nice ambiance. Nice employees.

Decided to have lunch at this place before strolling in Central Park. What a lucky choice for us. It was Monday so it was not busy. We were seated promptly. We chose the lunch special. The skirt steak was a large serving. It was a little chewy but cooked to medium rare as we requested. The fries were delicious. The salmon was nicely done. My favorite was the fresh seasonal vegetables. I was expecting soft previously frozen vegetables.

Vibes are immaculate. Service is nice. Make a reservation if you can. Food is a bit pricey but every thing is delicious. Great place for small bites - shrimp, skewers, potatos, sangria are all top notch. Should be higher ranked for the area too.
