Mauricio GJune 14, 2015Great spot for some simply good tapas. Awesome and inexpensive happy hour on Sundays. Get one of everything on the happy hour menu. Service is great and a garden area outback. Try the gazpacho
Ashley CJuly 26, 2018I love this place! Tuesday Pallea night is amazing! Pallea for two and a bottle of wine for $50! Great for date night, the cocktails are delicious, and they have a pre-fix menu for large parties.
Marc SchneebergerApril 14, 2019Makes me feel like home, in Barcelona. It tastes the closest to real Catalan tapas in nyc! Good wine and beer selection too.
As of Fall 2014, there is a new chef and new seasonal menu. Much more creative presentation! Paella is delish. Socarrat was the perfect nutty, crunch you expect. Bravas is better than ever.
Margot MazurApril 30, 2015Really loved this place. Great shitito peppers and potatoes bravas. The wine list is wonderful and the atmosphere is romantic but not fancy. Loved it.
Matthew ListroMay 26, 2021The $45 9-tapas special is a GREAT deal. Nice vibe, solid food, would def. come back.
Fernando FigueroaFebruary 2, 2018Live music! Great selection of tapas, excellent paellas, fixed price menu is the best for large parties.
Joe DApril 22, 2015The grilled octopus dish is plentiful and delicious. Crispy and flavorful. Also, pretty solid happy hour deals.
Pamela CastilloApril 26, 2015Excellent food, service and wine. Get the croquetas and paella. Or come for happy hour!
LukeAugust 9, 2015Grilled octopus is a must. Also extremely legit 2 for 1 gin and tonics on Thursdays!
Arden GinsbergFebruary 23, 2014The Mushroom Spread is excellent you must try the Cod appetizer and the chocolate croquettes
Ben GaspariniMarch 11, 2017This place was great but beware the spicy martini is indeed spicy. Oh and they have PX!
Santi AmayaJune 7, 2015Tried three different tapas: the patatas bravas, the octopus, and some sort of meatballs. All of them were bland. The octopus just tasted like the oil it was cooked in.
- Jessica CJanuary 2, 2022Sadly I do not recommend this place. While the service was lovely, the food was really disappointing.
Daniela AsaroJanuary 19, 2014Service is mediocre. Food too. Wait until they get it together before coming here.
