Spanish Restaurant · Turtle Bay · 13 tips and reviews
ドーラ: Authentic and delicious tapas, with an excellent selection of wine. Get the filet mignon and chorizo tapas. Pricey but worthwhile.
Gustavo Gomez: Great Spanish food. B
Rock Raines: Charming, old-school vibe. Food is prepared lovingly but don’t expect any sort of elegance in the service. Thought entrees were a bit overpriced

Latin American Restaurant · Midtown East · 139 tips and reviews
John A: Great place for date or event. The food is unique, looks beautiful, but some dishes the Latin-Asian fusion worked better than others. Recommend the tofu, spicy and sweet.
Gilt City: Latin wines, Japanese sakes and over 400 tequilas make this Richard Sandoval restaurant the ultimate fusion experience. Don't leave without trying the sugarcane-skewered swordfish.
Daniel M.: Two words: mango mojitos.

Japanese Restaurant · Midtown East · 48 tips and reviews
Jannie: Katsu heaven! Oroshi or regular chicken katsu, you'll have it right each time. Check the menchanko ramen in original or miso. I can live here.
Foodspotting: Try the traditional tonkatsu set: Japanese breaded fried pork with shredded cabbage, sesame seeds that you grind yourself, tonkatsu sauce and miso soup. It’s EXACTLY like Saboten in Japan! - Alexa
Caitlin Williams: Tonkatsu is AMAZING and the kimchi is spicy and very authentic
