Monti BrayJanuary 9, 2017Their signature cocktail is worth the hype, but make sure to minimize the tonic in your drink.
JoyceSeptember 8, 2013such a bad experience. i've never been in a restaurant that rushes you to take care of the bill and get out literally! the restaurant is small but come on! we havent even ordered the main course yet!
CITY GRITAugust 1, 2014Of course we had high expectations for Michael Chiarello’s food, but it was the cocktails that blew our minds at his Spanish inspired spot.
Advait MadhavadasAugust 9, 2022I had the Widower’s Kiss. It’s an excellent variation on an Old Fashioned. Slightly sweeter, infinitely better.
armand gaerlanApril 30, 2013pretty full? who cares, make room for this one biter! manchego cheesecake w/ caramel popcorn
James GuigayomaMay 26, 2013Protip: take two spoonfuls of the lemon alioli and mix with the paella. it adds additional creaminess and a slight hint of lemon.- Micaela ChooMay 2, 2013Crispy shrimp and chicken flour pancake with saffron aioli! Get it. It is to die for.
Joshua AllanSeptember 19, 2013This has the same level of quality and dedication to the menu as Bottega - however Chiarello can't take all the credit. Ryan had done a killer job with this menu.
Grilled duck and pork meatballs sets the bar for any meatball period.
- CITY GRITAugust 1, 2014The Castro - Espolon Tequila Blanco, Curacao, Fino sherry, Fresno pepper, & Lime – is the best play on a margarita we’ve ever sipped.
Kerry SnyderApril 12, 2016Wow! Eat everything and anything. Drink the gintonics. Sit anywhere you can and order all the foods!
Stephanie Palma GilOctober 30, 2017Spent the afternoon post-brunch at Coqueta. Good drinks and good music for an easy Sunday.
- Valentin GuerinJuly 4, 2016Come for he view, stay for the food and drinks! Nice cocktails and great tapas.
ZhannaOctober 28, 2017Very tasty tapas (especially * - highlighted by the chef), nice vine as well 🍷
Stephanie AdrienneAugust 3, 2013Don't go at lunch. Or post lunch. Wait until dinner when they can give you proper attention for your requests. Also, crafted cocktails on menu can be skipped. As former b-tender order what u like.- Frances JamesDecember 1, 2014Spanish gin bar! Great view of the water and people watching. Solid drinks and tapas.
Jonathan DiazJuly 19, 2015Meatballs are great. Octopus was under seasoned. Great cocktail menu. Can't go wrong.- Kendall ThorntonJuly 30, 2017Don't miss the huevos de codorniz & manchego skewers, albondigas, and pulpo.Sangria is too sweet.
Kyle R.August 8, 2014The manchego cheese lollipops are heavenly (dessert). Our favorite dish of the night!
Jacob GyllenstiernaMay 11, 2013Great innovative cocktail list, including a sherry-based section. The duck & pork albondigas are amazing!
Great tapas and wine selection. Even though I don't usually go for the Sangria.. it is real good here.
- JoAnne GiardinaJune 17, 2013Different drinks, but delicious and the tapas was to die for. Can't beat the view and service either.
Try one of their gin tonics, I've had 'barca' and it did not only taste but also look great!
Steve BSeptember 22, 2015Every time I walk by this place is lovely and food smells good. Must try sometime.
Robert RoblesDecember 29, 2013Make s reservation or be prepared to sit at the bar or community table. Service was very good and friendly.
Karina NSeptember 11, 2014Paella is not bad here, looks better than it taste though. I like the chicken pie nuggets the best
Must try their gin and tonic it's incredibly smooth and well-balanced
Great place but hard to get a reservation. The bar is first come first served & has the full menu.
Ryan StensonNovember 27, 2013Patatas bravas, albóndigas, and cocktails were stellar. Avoid the Pintxos, Pan con Tomate, and Pan con Chocolate - all were pretty weak.
Eric HalvorsonOctober 30, 2013You would think you were in a very higj end tapas restaurant in Barcelona. ..not to he missed!- Come early fir the razor clams. sells out fast! Manchego cheesecake pops are delicious! Paella not impressive.
ErinApril 19, 2013Amazing food! Sit at the counter. You may get to meet the chef. Order one of everything!
