Elevine BergeFebruary 9, 2015Top 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.
Boon YapOctober 25, 2012Impressively 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++
Sofia FigueroaAugust 22, 2017Duck 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.
Beth Van DamNovember 11, 2013This 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!
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.
Sam KakriaMay 28, 2018Patatad 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.
EvieApril 23, 2014Impeccable 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, 2013Great 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).
TingNovember 8, 2015You can't go wrong with the Iberico ham. Pulpit was also a pleasant surprise with its bits of pickled goodness and cabbage.
- 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, 2013Can 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, 2016Order 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, 2015Brussel sprouts, mushrooms and lamb are a must! Pretty much anything from this grill will be amazing.
KittyJune 11, 2013The 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!
Travel + LeisureJuly 30, 2012The 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.
The New York TimesNovember 29, 2011Recommended: Pan con tomate, Ibérico ham, smoked pig’s cheek, anchovies, autumn salad, fried fairytale eggplant, croquettes, smoked amberjack, lamb breast, paella, rice pudding, torrijas. Read more
Theresa RoldanOctober 1, 2014I had the arroz negro and some oysters. Their seafood is amazing, but the squid ink rice was a bit overwhelming. Overall a good experience.
Isa SierraFebruary 20, 2018Best tapas I’ve had in a while. Extra brownie points for knowing the difference between jamón serrano and jamón iberico.
Greenwich Village Literary Pub CrawlJune 20, 2012A 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
Auri GhatakDecember 17, 2015The paella, the octopus, gambas al ajillo and the pumpkin creme Catalunya are the standout items on the menu
Hilary Cramer RobinsonFebruary 26, 2014Croquettes. Arroz with snails. Escarole. Please do the amazing short rib if they have it.
The Corcoran GroupAugust 1, 2013Come here for the pan con tomate and the ham croquettes - both are amazingly delicious!
Michael AnthonyJuly 1, 2017Good for a chill night bc service is slow, so you can enjoy yourself for longer. The Mezcal is great- Alex Cruz-LebrónOctober 9, 2016My 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, 2012Sit 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...
Joey PalmaJuly 5, 2016Probably the best non-seafood paella I've ever had! Fried potatoes with aioli = similarly ridiculous.
- Stefano GuidolinApril 6, 2014Awesome lunch specials! If you don't know what to get, it's easy: pan con tomate + paella del dia.
New York PostSeptember 16, 2014Don't miss the tapas that brought chef Seamus Mullen so much success. Read more
DishEnvyNovember 17, 2011The 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, 2013Very recommendable ingredient-driven Spanish food in a fun, easygoing setting.
Tom EganSeptember 24, 2014The 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
Jordi LlobetJune 6, 2017Not 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.
Greg SmithMarch 16, 2015The Paella Del Huerto is fantastic! The smaller portion will easily feed four.
Jag FirerwalkerMarch 16, 2016That this place is packaged is without any doubt reasonable. It is as close as I can imaging to spain, without having to fly there.
Per SommerOctober 8, 2011Get the patatas, lamb and serrano. Maybe the best tapas bar in NYC at the moment...
Maybelline New YorkSeptember 5, 2012Tasty tapas will transport you to the streets of Madrid. Tosta setas get two thumbs up.
David 🎉 LasterJuly 8, 201620% off Lunch With Village Access Card for Residents
Josh BerkowitzMay 6, 2013If 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...
Mouton Noir WinesAugust 28, 2011One of the best dishes ever! Tosta Matrimonio black and white anchovies, slow-roasted tomato, sheep’s milk cheese, aged balsamic
