I went here with family & friends to celebrate my nieces birthday. The food was very good and the staff were very nice. I recommend shrimp in garlic sauce,Pan Con Tomate Y Jamon, Chiperones A La Plancha & Paella Valenciana

Mabel invited me to her favorite Spanish restaurant. At the door we were welcomed by the Manager Senor Ariel who was warm and friendly. The place had a great ambience where one could carry a decent conversation without shouting at each other. The food was AMAZING! We had the calamares with their special dipping sauce, the paella Valenciana and the sopas mariscos. All so sumptuous with fresh seafood and ingredients. The special sangria was sooo great! The flan was to die for ! Light and not too sweet! Certainly a place I would not hesitate to bring friends and family over. Maybe next time we could listen to the jazz band too. Thank you Senor Ariel for a fantastic dining experience!

What a lovely place. The service was attentive. The food was delicious. Appetizers we tasted: sardines, pulpo, and salmon were perfectly seasoned. The lobster ravioli had a creamy sauce that was subtle. I loved the local atmosphere on Sunday night. A jazz trio of musicians played whose leader on alto sax welcomed singers from the audience to perform. The whole night felt like a warm embrace at a family reunion.

The food, service, and ambiance could not be better. We ate delicious appetizers, sardines, octopus, and salmon, all cooked just right, served promptly. The lobster ravioli had a pink creamy sauce that was divine. A pitcher of sangria: excellent! And the atmosphere on Sunday night, with musicians, and singers from the crowd, provided lovely entertainment. I walked away thinking this place has an old school New York flavor I could use more of.

If you have a Spanish named restaurant, write it right! It's "Tío" with a written accent on the "í", not "Tio". It's an affront to our languane. Otherwise, it's a fine restaurant with decent waiters.

It was fantastic!! Highly recommend to every New Yorker! Served with care and love, amazing food, such big tapas selection. Their live music was a gift! Can't wait to come back and try more.

Service was slow. Bartender was an arrogant little asshole. I sat there 10 minutes (the place was nearly empty) before he deigned to come over and take my order. My calamari was rubbery.

This place is really nice. The ambiance is very warm, comfortable, and welcoming. My dinner party all ordered drinks and they seemed to like them alot because they kept ordering more. What I can speak about is the food. This was the most disappointing part of our stay. The portion sizes, the aesthetic, and the prices were all bad. And worst of all, nothing had flavor. I'm not sure how that happened but the food was beyond bland, it was depressing. The chicken dish that I ordered sounded so good but when it came out, it looked like a lunch that I could have been served in middle school. The chicken cutlet was so thin that it was dried out and tasted like jerky without flavor. It had semi crispy fries and the veggies looked like they were an afterthought. The lobster ravioli was even worse. The playing and portion size was sad. Look at the photos I attached for reference. For the price point, I would have hoped for some really tasty dishes but I left disappointed.

"Indulging in the delightful flavors of the paella was truly a remarkable experience at the Spanish restaurant. The perfectly cooked rice, infused with a symphony of aromatic spices and complemented by a medley of fresh seafood and succulent meats, showcased the culinary excellence of this establishment. The ambiance added to the overall charm, making it an unforgettable dining adventure. Without a doubt, one of the best Spanish cuisine encounters I've had."
