Everything Chef Harrison Mosher cooks is fabulous. Some favorites are Brussel sprouts, short ribs , calamari!
AditiFebruary 1, 2016
Everything on this menu is perfection
Lauren BroughtonJanuary 22, 2010
The brussel sprouts can convert non-veggie eaters! And leave room for dessert - the apple tart was beautifully presented and delicious (though a small portion). Molten chocolate was nice too!
Diego RecondoOctober 12, 2014
The so-called "paella" was very good, even if it has little to do with the real one
Rafi SyedAugust 7, 2014
Get the whole shebang, add extra smoked mozzarella and extra sliders and you're good.
BiancaOctober 24, 2012
Try to get a seat upstairs and definitely order the Brussels sprouts. The lamb meatballs were delicious too.
Abdullatif ANovember 8, 2014
One of the best Tapas in Manhattan. Just try every thing.
Denis SosnovtsevSeptember 15, 2012
Food - everything is even better than it sounds. Cocktails - everything sounds amazing but is generic. Get a dessert.
Gordon MeiJune 4, 2014
If you're feeling seafood, try the PEI mussels with its harissa lobster broth.
Miss GoWhitelyApril 10, 2011
Order as follows: Brussels sprouts, prosciutto wrapped dates/olives, gnocchi, bruschetta, tuna tartar, walk vegetable salad. Skirt steak > short ribs
Rob PrattFebruary 28, 2014
The seared wild mushrooms were better than the crispy brussels sprouts. Highly recommended.
Alicia BenjaminSeptember 17, 2011
You'll hate yourself if you dine here and don't try their fried goat cheese with lavender-infused honey and their amazing Brussels sprouts.
Rebecah ReillyJanuary 28, 2016
The banana s'mores dessert is one of the best desserts I've ever had. Epic.
Stephanie RivkinJanuary 30, 2015
Unreal Brussels sprouts. Delicious drinks. Everything is wonderful!
Nikki 🌺February 2, 2011
Order the Bacon wrapped dates, almond stuffed olives, lavender goat cheese, broccoli rabe, and Brussel sprouts. Heaven will explode in your mouth.
Samantha RodríguezJanuary 20, 2016
Bacon wrapped dates, paella, goat cheese balls, and Brussels sprouts! Don't get the scallops, super small portion and only okay
Joe OJune 21, 2015
Worth a second trip, but maybe just to the bar. Get the wild boar belly, skip the asparagus
Wynoami GlasserFebruary 16, 2010
The lamb meatballs over butternut squash purée will explode your brain. Best spinach dip I ever had loaded with garlic, smoked paprika and topped with poached egg.Tell Shawn Joe and Noami sent you.
W KJuly 4, 2012
Order the meatballs--the sauce is ridic. And get the shortribs. So amazingly tendor and perfect with the pasta
Laila F.July 27, 2011

The lower two floors are great for lively crowd energy, but if you're in the mood for quiet or on a date, ask for the third floor.

Lamb meatballs and spaghetti pepperoncini are amazing. Amex / cash only though so be ready.
KevskiAugust 16, 2017
Try something else if you're hungry. It's good but very small portions, and not worth the price tag. There are tons of other amazing places nearby...
AshleyMarch 23, 2013
Goat cheese balls, Brussels sprouts and short rib. Best tapas in NYC
Jeffrey KaoNovember 17, 2014
While the whole shebang sounds impressive (and it is), it's probably better to order individual dishes and savour the dishes.
Ashley ChanJune 19, 2017
Food was not bad, but it was unsettling that half the dishes were served within a minute of ordering. Romantic environment. I'd recommend the octopus and lamb meatballs, but probably wouldn't return.
John MMarch 27, 2013

If you can, get Jeremy as your waiter. He knows the menu well and made some great suggestions we would not have tried otherwise.
MariannaApril 7, 2010
Linger over tapas in the upper alcove at Alta. Get brussel sprouts with apple and pistacio, lamb meatballs, PEI mussels, and the Torija for dessert -- sublime.
LoraJuly 18, 2015
Then entrance has a secret garden feel. Inside, so warm, so romantic.
Karen ZSeptember 23, 2012
Brussels sprouts... Goooood. Mushroom pizza... Gooood. Friend goat cheese... Goood. Sea bass.... Gooood.
Darian Symoné HarvinDecember 17, 2011
Everyone one is mentioning the goat cheese and Brussels sprouts...I'd like to call attention to the lamb meatballs. Love em.
Pooja YabannavarFebruary 24, 2013
Lamb meatballs, smoked mozzarella, brussels sprouts, octopus and fried goat cheese - yummm
Cheryl ChoMarch 3, 2015
Amazing. Must get the Brussel sprouts and the spaghetti
Amee ShahAugust 26, 2016
Tapas, bacon wrapped dates, good wine selection
Amanda AlbergoApril 6, 2010
Best tapas in the city I've found so far. Brussels sprouts, spaghetti, pork empanadas, tuna tartare and cheese plates. Skip the gnoochi and dessert.
AssedoJuly 12, 2013
Brussel sprouts, Moroccans lamb tagline, short ribs are the favorites.
Desmond FooApril 10, 2017
The best brussels sprouts
Neha NarulaMay 14, 2013
Brussels sprouts are overrated. The couscous dish and the fried goat cheese balls were awesome.
Clyde Erwin BarrettoMay 9, 2014
I'm not a big fan of tapas, but the Sangria here tastes delicious!
Dan HollandMarch 17, 2019
Fried goats cheese and the Brussels sprouts stole the show
Melea S.April 17, 2013
Goat cheese with lavendar honey. It's the deal. Start and end with that.
AbbyMay 27, 2016
great atmosphere for a date or small group
Evan SchwartzMarch 5, 2016
Tapas, Brussels sprouts, gnocchi, rioja wine
Theresa IrvineNovember 10, 2014
Neighborhood gem! Make sure to bring cash as they only take Amex!
NicoleMarch 22, 2015
Cant go wrong with anything on the menu. Or the sangria.
Zach WestJanuary 5, 2015
Make a reservation in the balcony area if it's available
Public House WineAugust 12, 2014
The whole shebang may cost $400 but it feeds 10. Splurge next time the parents are in town.
Kevin BeattyJanuary 5, 2012
Some of the best tapas in NYC. Bacon wrapped olives and dates are a must.
Kevin TolliverJuly 26, 2015
Ambiance better than the food, bacon wrapped dates were best part
