Really beautiful restaurant with lots of little rooms and nooks, great for a date. All tapas, so fun to go and share a bunch of food. $$$$

The "Whole Shebang" was slightly overwhelming but it allowed us to have a taste of the entire menu. Hands down favorite was the Braised Short Rib with Beet Pasta.
Ankush BhatiaApril 18, 2013
Get the short ribs over beet pasta, spaghetti pepperoncini, goat cheese balls, lamb meatballs, octopus salad, brussel sprouts and the mussels! #winners

FYI Amex and Cash only!! Can’t punch your card number in...had to run out to get cash. Otherwise amazing food.

Great for dates... Tapas are awesome, a bit pricey, but the ambiance is awesome.

Hands down, my favorite restaurant in NYC. The brussel sprouts, avocado & crabmeat, lamb meatballs, bacon wrapped dates, the list goes on forever, just like their menu.
Rob LongertNovember 20, 2011
Get the fried goat cheese balls, lamb meatballs, pizza, spaghetti, bacon wrapped dates and olives, empanadas, chicken wings and pretty much anything else on the menu!

This place only takes cash and American Express (!). If you don't have either be prepared to take a quick jaunt to the ATM down the block like I had to do. Good food though. Brussels sprouts ++

Very nice atmosphere, bartender was great and they have happy hour, but tapas items can be a hit or miss

Hidden gem with a super cute atmosphere, fantastic small plates and reasonable prices. Great for dates!

Food was good. Brussels sprout are delicious. Wine price is pretty much reasonable. Just be careful: they automatically apply a 20% gratuity on your check without even asking.
Nate BeattyApril 5, 2015
Amazing hidden spot. Walk into the bar and keep walking to the dining room. Big, but still cozy two floors.
Nate TDecember 8, 2015
This place is amazing. Tucked in a renovated brownstone with no sign in front. Delicious food. A hidden treasure.
JM ParveauxMay 5, 2015
Charming tapas place. Gnocchi were amazing and special beef w/ smoked tomato sauce was out of this world!
Corey WallApril 10, 2012
8 of us ordered The Whole Shebang: $480 gets you everything on the menu. can't help but giggle with excitement/chaotic delight as each dish is served rapid fire & fought over (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Excellent restaurant & service! Try the Brussels sprouts--Also had the fried goat cheese with lavender honey (sooo good), the angus sliders, sweet potato ravioli & the pear coffee cake for dessert!
Vanessa RuedaAugust 31, 2016
they offer an amazing basil ice cream dessert. Also the beets salad is good. Varied vegetarian options

Amazing place. The spicy margaritas, rock, as does the food! Cozy, cute, buzzy and fun. Cant go wrong
Tina HilllJune 21, 2017
Enjoyed many items on this menu! Fun atmosphere and great for groups. We're coming back to try out the whole shebang!!
Andrew BurchJanuary 28, 2013
Maybe the best tapas in the US. Try Brussels sprouts, bleu cheese gnocchi, fried goat cheese and the molten chocolate cake!
Josh FerryApril 24, 2017
Group of 9 rather boisterous friends and I had a fantastic time here and left planning a trip back. You won't regret it. Go.
Alex CavoulacosSeptember 1, 2017
They have an option to get one of everything on the menu, which feeds 8-10 people and is a real deal!
Dina RughaniNovember 29, 2014
Everything is delicious..the shrimp, goat cheese balls, lamb chops, and all the veggies are nice As well
Christine EspinozaJanuary 6, 2013
Brussels Sprouts & Fried Goat Cheese Balls: order plenty of both for the table (extra if you're whole shebangin'). Red sangria is delicious.
Valentin GuerinMarch 14, 2015
A good tapas place, not typical Spanish tapas, but still good. Nice place with a fireplace, could be a dating spot!
JulieOctober 14, 2012
Best Brussels sprouts in the world! This place makes it easy to adore veggies! Beer battered corn is as heavenly as it sounds!
JaimMay 28, 2016
Must try - Braised short rib, paella, mozzarella, foie gras, seared scallops, brussel sprouts.
Ruby AnayaMay 23, 2016
Cash or American Express only - weird. After 8pm the bar area is fire hazard levels packed. Get the fried goat cheese with honey!
Ken CrearyApril 22, 2016
Wonderful gem in the neighborhood! The food was excellent and the service outstanding
Gretchen AltmanOctober 13, 2015
Great ginger mojito, grilled octopus, fried goat cheese. Good for a group but call ahead.
Rolando MurilloMay 14, 2017
Definitely go for the pork empanadas and give the paella a shot. Focaccia bread is tasty as well
Raphie SyedJanuary 22, 2018
Housemade Parker house rolls + Brussels sprouts + grilled skirt steak + lamb meatballs
Sarah T.April 23, 2015
Fantastic atmosphere! get the smoked mozzarella and the lamb meatballs were pretty good too.
Courtney R.August 3, 2014
Get The Whole Shebang. With a group of 9 people no one left hungry. It's a great option for a birthday dinner!
Chelsea BalkanDecember 1, 2012
Fabulist: goat cheese balls, lamb meatballs, Brussels sprouts (2x), empanadas, calamari salad, paella, flat bread pizza
Inara COctober 6, 2012
Hard to find but it's there!! Right next to the post office! It's amazing. Be careful...they only take CASH OR AMEX

You must order the Philadelphia Surprise and Goat Cheese Balls with Lavender Infused Honey. I dream about this food.
Chris EvansJuly 23, 2014
Amazing tapas. Downstairs gets pretty loud and rowdy. If you are 8+ people just go for the whole-shebang deal. It'll end up costing less. Somehow.
RachelMarch 25, 2016
Delicious tapas in such a romantic spot! Bacon-wrapped dates are a must.
Kristen PeiranoDecember 28, 2014
Everything is delicious minus the mussels. Mussels are made in a lobster broth so very fishy
Ina LiFebruary 24, 2015
Really good atmosphere and interior. Mediocre tapas and sangria but good experience and wine!
Raquelle JessieMarch 14, 2015
GET THE SALMON TARTARE AND follow up with the sticky toffee bread pudding. GORGEOUS restaurant
Rosemary AbdelshahidSeptember 10, 2011
Brussel sprouts, lamb meatballs and short rib were hands down my favorite dishes. Go with a group so you can try everything!
Mason SJune 29, 2011
Best Brussel sprouts you will ever have. Other highlights include lamb meatballs, gnocchi, and fries goat cheese. Good sangria as well.
Lawrence LenihanFebruary 8, 2012

Favorite tapas. More creative menu than boqueria, and great bar
Iuliia KononenkoMarch 8, 2014
Hidden gem of the Village. Food is outstanding. And it feels like traveling to Spain.
Yoko YasudaDecember 9, 2014
Bacon wrapped dates and crispy Brussels sprouts are delicious! Nice atmosphere too.
