Top notch Spanish brunch in authentic atmosphere. Salty green peppers were superb appetisers. Salt cod brandade w baked egg, maybe forever fav brunch dish!!! Nicely vegetarian accommodating too.

Impressively genuine Catalan cooking, with a slight twist by talented chef, Seamus Mullen. Tons of delicious Jamon Iberico iterations on menu. The squid ink fideua paella is to-die-for! Martinis = A++

Duck dish, pulpo, peach dessert, & arroz negro! For 4 diners, ordered 8 tapas and a paella. Delicious & authentic Spanish food. A bit pricey, but worth it. $1 oysters 5:30pm-7pm everyday.

Still my favorite of all the Spanish restaurants in NYC. Nightly selection of additions to the menu, along with a menu of staples that change seasonally. Service is stellar.

This place is amazing! Take the waiter's recommendations. The jamon croquettes and the clams were delicious. The Brussel sprouts blew our minds! The paella was magnificent!

Patatad bravas are very good. The paella is shit & everything including the croquettes is not worth the price you are paying. Walk 2 minutes and go to Joe’s & grab a fresh mozzarella pizza & be happy.

Impeccable food in a cozy ambience. The more adventurous that you are, the more delicious it will be. Get the pig cheek and whatever lamb special they have. You won't be disappointed.
Jeana CostaSeptember 28, 2013
Great rustic vibe. Crispy potatoes, shishito peppers, heirloom tomato + watermelon salad are all great starter tapas plates. Loved the bread pudding for dessert (and not usually my thing).

You can't go wrong with the Iberico ham. Pulpit was also a pleasant surprise with its bits of pickled goodness and cabbage.

Francesca and Dev head to Tertulia for dinner here. They wait an hour for a table but their meal — ham, bread, probably paella and more — looks good. [Episode 9] Read more

Some of the best service in the city and great tapas to boot. Try the arroz al horno if it's on the menu, pimientos de padrón and sample from the well-picked wine list
Sarah NelsonMarch 20, 2013
Can I recommend everything? Impeccable food in lively atmosphere. Don't miss the beets, the arctic char, the lamb or the pan con tomate. Desserts are well worth it.
Kristina RudicMarch 4, 2016
Order a lot and share it all because everything on the menu is amazing. Get the lamb and the beets for sure! Both are to die for.
Kelsey QuickstadDecember 29, 2015
Brussel sprouts, mushrooms and lamb are a must! Pretty much anything from this grill will be amazing.

Try-Pan con Tomate is a play between three ingredients: great bread, tomatoes, and olive oil. Almejas a la brasa perfectly grilled little cockles that are tender and briny with a hint of bitterness. Read more

The pimientos de pardon were so unique and delicious but the special Brussels sprouts with pork belly was the winner of our four delicious tapas items! I would visit again!

The best Spanish restaurant in town is run by a guy from Vermont named Seamus Mullen. Try his head-on langustinos and arroz a la plancha with Iberico ham and snails.
Isa SierraFebruary 20, 2018
Best tapas I’ve had in a while. Extra brownie points for knowing the difference between jamón serrano and jamón iberico.
Theresa RoldanOctober 1, 2014
I had the arroz negro and some oysters. Their seafood is amazing, but the squid ink rice was a bit overwhelming. Overall a good experience.

A former stop on our tour. This was an old speakeasy, and then several literary bars. Ask the staff about some of the literary giants that came here. If they don't know, come ask us! Read more

Intimate atmosphere. The Nuestras Patatas and Crema Catalana are to die for.
Auri GhatakDecember 17, 2015
The paella, the octopus, gambas al ajillo and the pumpkin creme Catalunya are the standout items on the menu
Hilary Cramer RobinsonFebruary 26, 2014
Croquettes. Arroz with snails. Escarole. Please do the amazing short rib if they have it.
The Corcoran GroupAugust 1, 2013
Come here for the pan con tomate and the ham croquettes - both are amazingly delicious!
Michael AnthonyJuly 1, 2017
Good for a chill night bc service is slow, so you can enjoy yourself for longer. The Mezcal is great
Alex Cruz-LebrónOctober 9, 2016
My boyfriend is Spaniard, so we go a lot to Spanish restaurants. This place was ok, not amazing. A little bit pricey, not too flavorful. I could eat here again but not by my own initiative.
EvaApril 9, 2012
Sit in the back room by the open kitchen and order freely, keeping a menu and a bottle of wine at the table. Great fun reminiscent of Barcelona...
Stephen ChyauDecember 7, 2014
If you are by yourself, get the Jamon iberico + pan con tomate for $21
Joey PalmaJuly 5, 2016
Probably the best non-seafood paella I've ever had! Fried potatoes with aioli = similarly ridiculous.
Stefano GuidolinApril 6, 2014
Awesome lunch specials! If you don't know what to get, it's easy: pan con tomate + paella del dia.

Steak and eggs, octopus & French omelette all great options for brunch!
DishEnvyNovember 17, 2011
The Arroz a la Plancha is the signature dish and rightly so. The cojundo revisted - a deconstructed bacon, egg & cheese - is a fun start to the meal.
Serious EatsMarch 15, 2013
Very recommendable ingredient-driven Spanish food in a fun, easygoing setting.
Jordi LlobetJune 6, 2017
Not high quality Spanish food, just middle range sold as a delicatessen. Don't choose $50 or $60 menu options, go for separate plates of your choice.
Tom EganSeptember 24, 2014
The paella is awesome. Order it when you first sit down and then pick other things from the menu.

Get the paella for one with sangria. Best way to spend $15 in NYC. Hands down
Greg SmithMarch 16, 2015
The Paella Del Huerto is fantastic! The smaller portion will easily feed four.
Jag FirerwalkerMarch 16, 2016
That this place is packaged is without any doubt reasonable. It is as close as I can imaging to spain, without having to fly there.
LukeJanuary 21, 2016
Their take on patatas bravas is a delicious umami overload
Per SommerOctober 8, 2011
Get the patatas, lamb and serrano. Maybe the best tapas bar in NYC at the moment...
Maybelline New YorkSeptember 5, 2012
Tasty tapas will transport you to the streets of Madrid. Tosta setas get two thumbs up.

authentic tapas, great space, well balanced sangria

Get the ham croquetas (3 per order) - so good.
Josh BerkowitzMay 6, 2013
If you order the Borracho for dessert, the kitchen staff will yell about it as the waitstaff is readying it for serving. In a good way!... I think...
Gail HOctober 8, 2013
Meat and cheese plate alone is good but the garlic patata is devine!
Mouton Noir WinesAugust 28, 2011
One of the best dishes ever! Tosta Matrimonio black and white anchovies, slow-roasted tomato, sheep’s milk cheese, aged balsamic
