Their brilliant riff on steak tartare replaces raw beef with chunky cured tomato, made possible by molecular gastronomy. A stunning carrot juice orb poses as egg yolk. You'll never miss the beef. Read more

The pan con tomate — crunchy grilled bread with a blood-red swipe of garlicky tomato puree — tastes good, particularly with the proffered cured ham or boquerones (pickled anchovies) on top. Read more

With its roots in the cuisine of the Basque people, Cooks & Soldiers is an excellent place for tapas, veal and the local favorite fish grilled over hot coals. Read more

Have not been in almost 4 years. Glad I decided to revisit. Service is excellent. Lots of great options but the Tostada de Conejo aka roasted rabbit is a must try!

The hulking chuletón (a bone-in rib-eye for two) does the traditional Spanish steak dish proud. Weighing in at 2.2 pounds, it’s slowly cooked on the restaurant’s impressive wood-fire grill. Read more

Must get the veal cheek! The octopus is also very good. All the dishes were prepared and presented very well, but those two stood out.

We had a very good time! I thought it was awfully loud at first but then I just kept drinking 🤷🏻‍♀️overall a lovely experience and will be back!
Sophia LiuSeptember 29, 2015
Had a great time. A variety of tapas, lovely atmosphere. My favorites: the trout and the paella (pictured)!
Chris HintonFebruary 22, 2015
It's usually busy, so get a reservation. There's definitely a Basque influence, but not a huge amount of traditional Basque choice. Still, the food and atmosphere is great.

The menu consists of smaller, tapas-style dishes and larger racciones, created by Landon Thompson, from the restaurant group's other outpost, the Iberian Pig.

Grilled swordfish was tender and moist. About the best I’ve had

This midtown restaurant offers a corner patio space that allows patrons to see (or be seen) while they sip and savor. Perfect for a group. Read more

In the mood for something meaty? Then Cooks & Soldiers has got you covered! Order up one-kilo of bone-in rib eye to share or a plate of pork tenderloins for one. Read more

Get the bikini and their version of pigs in a blanket. You will not regret it. I still dream about it every day!

Nice Vibe and atmosphere. All staff were very friendly from the time walked in until the time you walked out. Food is filling.

The cucumber gin drink was refreshing, hongos y setas the croquet jambon the meatballs were all great

Tapas were okay but not out-of-this-world worth the money. The restaurant has a great vibe and beautiful interior.
Ryan De MeloAugust 27, 2015
Descent food. My wife and I have been to Spain and the food experience is close enough to the real thing. Extremely friendly staff. On the expensive side.

Don’t leave without getting the bone-in ribeye.
Alexandre MunhozMarch 15
Such a disappointment. 2nd chance I gave to this place and absolutely nothing was good. Moldy jamon, chewy octopus, salty risotto, garlicky tomato paste. A S* show.

The piperade was pretty good, the veal cheek was ok but not great

Do NOT get the chistorra, not real chistorra, more like an Americanized hot dog version...

It's good, but Iberian Pig is better.
