    Been here 25+ times
    This is an amazing, beautifully design lil gem in the west village. The food is great, the energy and the quality of the cocktails are perfection! I love everything about this place a lot!

    Refinery 29: all kinds of adventurous, Spanish with a Mediterranean twist, with inspiration from Greece, Italy, Israel, and more, stuffed mozzarella, decor here is all about romanticism.

    The chef, Jesús Núñez, pulled off his menu as a greatest hits of the Mediterranean songbook: moussaka, osso buco, goulash, bouillabaisse. And he is hosting a seventies-themed dinner party.

    If you save room for dessert - no doubt the chickpea cake. This place is great! Say hi to Caesar at the bar, he's the best.

    For vegetarians skip the falafel salad but devour the cauliflower and hummus! The tequila and rose drink is delicious :)

    The meaning of 'melibea' is 'looking after' as in 'caring for' just in case you need a dining table topic. Thank me later.

    the sconces need to be put on a dimmer and be careful of the metal edges around the tables.

    So bad. Don't go unless you like mainstream music pumped loudly into your ears whilst you wait a long time for your badly made drinks.
