Amanda SchneiderFebruary 19, 2015The eggplant starter is awesome, as is the duck confit. Make sure to finish with the apple tarte tatin.
Lori LuoAugust 10, 2014The small plates outshine the entrées at Gato. Opt for the Eggplant with Balsamic and Manchego Cheese as well as the Crab Risotto. Desserts here are not their strong point.
Rachael McCarthyJanuary 4, 2016The fried oysters tapa was astounding—this is coming from someone who grew up in coastal NC with a deep uncompromising love for steamed or raw oysters.
Josh UptonAugust 25, 2017Stick to the bar bites, for the table and appetizers and you're golden. The Marlene is one of the best cocktails I've had in a while too.
Ashley KellamMarch 26, 2014Roasted Octopus and Kale Paella are a must! Also fun to get a few items from the bar list, specifically the chorizo with pickled brussels sprouts
Russell SinclairMay 18, 2014Excellent food. Good mixed drinks. Bobby Flay working the line in the kitchen. A great place to drop in for an after work snack and a drink.
Tohm SansaniMarch 25, 2015Apps and bar snacks pack a flavor punch that entrees don't: scrambled eggs & roasted octopus blew my mind!
If I could only pick one restaurant to recommend in this entire city it'd be Gato. Good scene, great food & cocktails. Sit at the bar.
julia tFebruary 24, 2015The bar appetizers are like amuse bouches- small tastes. The razor clams and the artichoke with uni and quail egg both great. Shrimp main is skippable.
Jessica ShimMarch 26, 2015The cocktails are amazing. Don't leave without getting the scrambled egg appetizer, paella, and the fig gelato. Pass on the lamb pizza.
David RosenbergMay 20, 2014Whatever you get, also get the kale paella. Tables are hard to come by so snag bar seats early and often, and order from the full menu.
Jennifer EvansJune 24, 2015Burrata was delicious but found all of our food to be spicy and seasoned similarly. Also liked the roasted potatoes with an egg on top. Perfect.
ChavelliNovember 17, 2014Pleasantly surprised with how good everything is. The kale and mushroom paella was great, as was the octopus! Excellent all around.
Allie NieldsJuly 10, 2014You need to eat here. Had the fettuccine and it was bomb. Worth the risk of black teeth. Can't go wrong with the cocktails either
Meg FarmerOctober 15, 2016Came in for some late night eats and grabbed a spot at the bar. Octopus was our fav dish, paella was also good.
Nikki BogopolskayaJuly 10, 2014Best charred octopus in the city. Stick with tons of appetizers, no need for entrees.
Viren KaulApril 15, 2017Carrots and few appetizers are good. We tried a bunch of other stuff: the steak, and bar menu as well platter: not the biggest fan. The reviews seem like embellishments :( disappointed
- James KiernanAugust 2, 2015Lived up to the hype. Favorite dishes were the chorizo and the kale paella. Also great cocktails. Well done Bobby!
Jason BrewOctober 10, 2015Spacious Nolita spot opened by Bobby Flay. Try the scrambled eggs for an appetizer and the kale paella for an entree
Rachel LNovember 28, 2014The kale and artichoke paella is DELICIOUS and vegetarian. They also have great pizza and the chicken dish was good.- CCnycApril 30, 2016Start with the roasted octopus and have the charred beef and kale/ wild mushroom paella. Nacho cocktail is awesome.
Jen BergNovember 20, 2014Skip the main courses and order two of everything from the bar snacks plus apps. Don't miss scrambled eggs and octopus!
The scrambled eggs and charred beef. My favorite restaurant and cool that you can see bobby cooking in the kitchen.
TAMMY GIAJanuary 2, 2015Sat a the bar and Jason the bartender was super helpful, ordered the snacks- artichoke heart with quail egg is INSANE!!!
Maggie ChaitmanSeptember 20, 2014Get the cauliflower... Whatever else you do, get the cauliflower. Also get the orata and maybe the rabbit, if rabbit is your kind of thing
Mars SpencerMarch 22, 2014Outstanding garlic shrimp. Cauliflower was excellent as well. Great Spanish wine list. Halibut was so so.... Definitely going back!
Andrea BarrezuetaApril 3, 2015The saffron linguini with mussels garlic and parsley was so tasty. The cauliflower and charred octopus out of control. But this time the charred carrots were very disappointing
Kiwi WangOctober 4, 2016I hate to say it because I loathe bobby flay, but the food here is seriously so good. The rice dishes are amazing!
Christina YoshiiNovember 9, 2014Everything is so tasty definitely a must do on the list of places to eat at
The Lorenzo (drink) and cauliflower were supper tasty! Loved the veg pasta app and my friend loved the octopus.
SiovonneAugust 15, 2014In love with this place. All the dishes were amazing! Bobby Flay doesn't Flay Around. Great for group dinners.
Ronald CattrysseJuly 18, 2017I do not remember what I had but even after a year I can say everything was great! Recommended!
Obsessed with the lamb, tuna piquillo, scrambled eggs and paella! And the espresso bread pudding is AMAZING.
ZenFoodsterMay 27, 2014My fave, Chef Bobby Flay, at his new restaurant Gato. So sweet he was there on Memorial Day to cook for us! 😊
- Enigul SonmezJuly 6, 2014Strawberry sorbet and gianduja gelato are wonderful. The black pepper vanilla gelato was the best surprisingly perfect flavor
Cesar Corral-CastillaDecember 22, 2015Good vibes with a really friendly staff. Get the Kale and Wild Mushroom Paella. It's delicious.
Leah HammerschlagSeptember 8, 2014The crispy potatoes are AWESOME. all the fish dishes are stellar. Obviously his beef is delicious as well.
Mark GrahamJune 28, 2014Don't be a fool! Someone in your party should order the squid ink fettuccine w/octopus & king-size prawns. (Fwiw, the lemon tart dessert is a perfect complimentary finish.)
Layered potatoes, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, kale paella. This place could make anyone turn vegetarian
Sue FMay 11, 2015I had the rabbit and it was fantastic. The service was great. Can't wait to go back!
Olivia OranApril 29, 2014Delicious! We had the pork chop, the kale paella, scrambled eggs, shrimp and cauliflower.
Greg S.January 21, 2016Quality Mediterranean food at a premium. Loved the octopus and small plates from the bar.
New York PostSeptember 1, 2014If it weren’t for the legitimately good food Flay is sending out of the kitchen, you’d think patrons would be satiated on the celeb-heavy scene alone. Read more
Gabe EldredAugust 24, 2014the scrambled eggs, octopus, and lamb pizza are all outstanding must-orders
Amol UtrankarJanuary 2, 2015So incredibly good. For appetizers, go for variety and get the bar (pick 3) items.
Small bites particularly the Eleven Layer Potato. Spreads and paella are also standouts.
