CoverDecember 10, 2013Be adventurous. The crazier it sounds, the better it tastes: smoked duck drumettes,bone marrow with beef cheek jam, tripe w/ blood sausage. Pay with Cover and skip waiting for the check!
Meredith MeyerDecember 12, 2014Dinner and atmosphere was incredible. The menu is so expansive - just have the chefs order for you. You won't be disappointed.
A bottle of wine, sea urchin, octopus, mushrooms, and bone marrow. Toss in pork belly and it might just be the best meal of the week.
Jen HarveyDecember 19, 2017Bone marrow was, is and always will be my favorite. Also garlic shrimp and grapefruit cocktail were next level
Evonne CNovember 20, 2013Order the crazy stuff like tripe with blood pudding. Octopus. And go for the classics like paella and the rib eye. Just eat it all...!
Pablo DouzoglouJune 27, 2015Lamb blood sausage is delicious, the setas (mushroom with egg) also a must, and don't get em without the cocks comb.
Miguel LopezMay 21, 2016Probably the best paella I've had in New York. Great crispy bottom. Nice sidra collection, too.
Melody AngelesJanuary 6, 2015Very mediocre tapas I would say... Aside from the very industrial-like huge space I would say nothing amazing really...What was amazing was them charging us a full bottle of alcohol by mistake😨😱😠😡
Danielle BrizelAugust 26, 2016Great food, great atmosphere. Great dishes - pan con tomate, hamachi, shrimp tapas, uni sandwich
Phil TorontoAugust 9, 2014You should add the ribeye to your table's order because it's the right thing to do
Phil KatzMarch 30, 2016Large menu, but somehow everything is on point. Whatever you do, make sure to end the night with the churros.
TiffanyNovember 19, 2015Tapas food and extremely small portions so get a lot of food if you have a big group. Also get the paellas but they do have a longer wait.
Nancy CadetJanuary 19, 2017Super delicious night! Fun date night or out with friends....Jennifer was amazing!!!!
Erika DjerfJuly 14, 2016Must order the Octopus & hamburguesas. Go with 3+ people so you can share and try more.
Aryan JAugust 28, 2014If you're wondering what the ONE thing from the menu that you NEED to get is, it's the foie gras. Trust me on this one.
Chelsea BalkanMarch 2, 2014#FabuLIST #DubiDO duck drumpettes, cauliflower, corn on the cob, atun crudo, and sliders. My fav drink is the tequila ginger.
Akua AidooJanuary 1, 2015Tapas win! The Bone Marrow was strange but the cheese, and the skirt steak were yummy. Pork belly ok
Jeff SolomonFebruary 15, 2019Everything is good. If it’s your birthday, they give you free Spanish champagne
Stephanie AnneAugust 23, 2015Tuna tartare, octopus salad, tomato toast, and the most delish summer squash of life!
Denise LNovember 19, 2014Large tapas menu, good for groups. Try the uni panini with miso butter. Sangria packs a punch.
Naeem IshaqJuly 27, 2016This place was fantastic. Nice ambiance and great food, although a bit pricey.
Jasmin EsquivelJune 2, 2014Softshell crab sandwiches. Do it! Tuna tar tar and shishito peppers are also delicious.
kat duqueNovember 22, 2013Skip the traditional tapas (there are better places in Chelsea for those) and go for the more interesting stuff. The atun crudo may have changed my life.
Meg FarmerJune 12, 2015Chefs table for a bday party is great. Sits up to 24 and there's no shortage of food.
Rachael MJanuary 19, 2014Amazing and massive room in the back (entrance on 16th st) perfect for private events.
Thomas Vander SticheleOctober 17, 2014The traditional tapas have twists that don't make them better - for example the mush they call escalivada. The more experimental ones are better, but can be hit and miss.
Jeanne ChoSeptember 13, 2016Salty dishes and patatas bravas were like diner home fries; strange ambience created via 90s R&B, pop, and gangster rap.
Marie La RueNovember 4, 2018Large, loud, flashy. Expensive wine list by NY standards. Modern American twist on tapas. Highlights were pan de tomate and squash. Inefficient service.
Davy R.December 17, 2015Nice look&feel. Super friendly staff. Good selection of tapas. Fair prices! Bit too salty though.
Ejay SantanaOctober 5, 2013A little expensive for the small tapas... I guess you are paying for the experience and ambiance... I will say they were delicious... But $80 for 4 tapas and one glass of wine just doesn't seem right
KatieJanuary 9, 2014Hardest restaurant to get into, literally. Push the red door and use all your strength to pull open the second door.
Jorge FarfanJanuary 4, 2014Fantastic food and atmosphere...wait staff is Amazing! Gives Boqueria a run for the money!!
NicoleMarch 22, 2015Good but not the best tapas I've had in NYC. Would not come back, but does have a very cool atmosphere and was a good one-time experience.
