Tapas Restaurants near Moonachie, NJ

“Food was amazing and service was on point !! Delicious 🤤“

“Great mimosas and food . Good atmosphere.“

“Delicious food!! The best place I've been to in the east village in a very long time. I highly recommend it 😋“

“Exceptional food at a very good price. Lovely setting. Comfortable seating. Good wine list. Some standouts on the menu: fried artichoke, shrimp al ajillo, shishito peppers, patatas bravas, and white pizza. We just had tapas and dessert. The creme brulée was creamy and the chocolate ganache cake was truly over the top! Thick and chocolate-y. The house manager was extremely attentive in making sure our requests were handled quickly and with charm. He even adjusted speakers for us when possible since the vibe here is lively and we were four people who actually wanted to talk to (and hear) each other. This restaurant is an amazing newcomer to the area. We are from out of town, and were looking for a place between mid-town Manhattan and Northern New Jersey, and this was perfect! Highly highly recommend. Great food, and a good time.“

“Amazing and inventive Korean food in the East Village. Must-have starter is the scallop DIY gimbap where you create your own bites with seaweed. Great combination of sauces gives it an incredible umami mouthfeel.

For entrees, dolsot al-bop has the uni flavor in the form of bibimbop, served in a sizzling bowl. And the fried soft-shell crab is to die for.

Only complaint is feeling rushed by servers to clear plates and present the bill before being asked.“

“Honestly- this place is great! Almost everything I have eaten or drank here has been delicious. Recommend the hush puppies and green tomato martini, but everything is good. I don’t normally do reviews but I think this place really deserves it (as someone who grew up in the south)“

“My boyfriend and I went here last Sunday night, and I just had to write a great review, as we LOVED it. Great romantic atmosphere, loved the music.. our server Jess, who I think owns the restaurant made me an amazing mocktail. The croquettes were to die for, as was the chorizo in wine, and the spanish tortilla was literally the best one I have ever had, even in Spain! We are looking forward to going back soon. ❤️“

“How staff treats customers determines my opinion. Workers here know how to make customers happy. You'll taste the difference their high-quality ingredients make in every dish. The team operates efficiently. Highest marks for the wonderful dining and friendly service.“

“I got takeout the other night—braised beef & noods, eastern cukes, congee and the cabbage special. I have no words. Well, I guess I do—happy dance mouth explosions. The cukes even got better as a pickled snack the next day. The staff was kind and fun, and I had the pleasure of meeting the chef, who deserves 5 stars as a human. Anyone who skips this place while in Dumbo should reconsider their life choices.“

“I am a big fan of celebrity Chef Jose Andres, he is brilliant. Chef Jose founded World Central Kitchen and sent food to Palestine such an admirable and courageous man. His deconstruction on Caviar with the finest iberico called Jose Taco is a must-have try. I loved the cotton candy foi gras which I paired with 45 year aged sherry from Spain epic Chef's kiss. We sat next to the Chef's Table. What an amazing experience I was transported back to Spain.“

“Nice restaurant, friendly employees. Brunch hours were from 12-5 pm. I didn’t want brunch food bc I heard from others that it was just OK. I ordered the tiny special roll and was informed couldn’t get it until 5 pm due to the brunch menu times. The waitress took our order around 4:20 pm. Then she came back later to take it again-not sure why. The sushi roll was good. I also enjoyed an expressing martini. My friend ordered chicken wings , they were super super tiny. She didn’t complain about the taste though. Only street parking available. Gratuity included for a table for 2.“

“This is a wonderful tapas bar! Easy to get to. We stopped at Bonsaii for lunch. The menu is delightful, our server, Laura, was very attentive and knowledgeable. We ordered items based on her recommendations, I'm glad we did! Delicious choices!! Beef empanadas, a flatbread, and a shrimp dish with toast points. We will definitely return! Quaint spot.“

“Grilled Branzino, Mushroom Pad Cha, Seafood sous Padang, Crying Tiger, Tom Yum fried rice

All absolutely delicious, each authentic and rich in flavor, literally could not put my utensils down; the depth and variety of flavor between each dish was immaculately prepared“

“Delightful and cozy. Not only is the ambiance very nice but the food os a total delight 😋“

“Here's the review Spencer wrote for you: My family and I just visited to celebrate my grandsons birthday- we like to get a bunch of plates and share family style and this menu was perfect for that. You have to get mezze and extra bread (must try the kubane). We also ended up getting three orders of the shishbarak for the six of us, it is way too good! I got the salmon for my entree which was cooked to perfection and beautifully seasoned. Spencer our server recommended the silan and the cheesecake for dessert so we shared those and boy were they something special- I can’t pick a favorite! He brought us a candle and we got some great pictures. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough.“

“Best Persian food in Brooklyn. Perhaps the best Persian food in all of New York or beyond. Thanks — we will be back!
——————
You know a restaurant is excellent when all you’ve had is their artisanal bread served with homemade butter, homemade yogurt turned into a dip, and homemade mortadella—yes, mortadella— and you’re thinking, “wow, I could eat just this, served with a bottle of wine…. I’d be more than satisfied.” And, also at this point thinking “when am I going to come back?”

Not your typical kebab affair. It’s better. I promise. I was introduced to a world of Persian food I’ve never had at a restaurant before at a level of quality that is reserved for fine dining establishments.

This is an elevated dining experience that is meant to be shared. And yes, there is a vibe too. Attention to detail with every dish that the chef explained to me is painstakingly made from scratch —yogurts, marinades, preparation taking days, with ingredients sourced locally. Warm, knowledgeable staff to boot, too.

The drink menu is legit. Think Persian twists on classic drinks—-but executed well, where other twists often fail. The best espresso martini in Williamsburg. Perhaps the city. My wife said the best she’s ever had.“

“This place serves food that lives up to its reputation. Employees greeted us with authentic smiles! This spot balances warmth with proper cleaning. Every order I've placed shows good taste. This restaurant gets my complete endorsement.“

“87 Ludlow is a hidden treasure, serving incredibly tasty Filipino dishes. The atmosphere is equally impressive, with welcoming decor enhancing the dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone eager to savor the rich flavors and warm hospitality of Filipino culture!“

“This is a bit of an upscale tapas bar, knowledge staff, not obtrusive. It did remind me of some upscale places in Spain. Go eat tapas the Manhattans with chocolate rim omg! Food was good too!“

“Accueil est cordial, le personnel professionnel , la nourriture est très bonne. Un petit coin de Provence à New York. Ambiance sympa 👍🏻“

“The food and service were incredible. My gf and I were eating and didn't even notice a little issue with the speakers. That didn't matter as Raul who I believe is the GM came over and offered a free desert which was one of the most unique and delicious things we have ever had. We will certainly be back“

“Nice place food uffff recomendado“

“Stopped by for a few drinks and I loved it! I had the orange wine and it was very good. Fantastic food (get the bacalao croquetas!) and even better service, Cortina our server was very attentive and friendly! Great service!! We’ll be back!“

“delicious food and drinks menu. service was attentive too.“

“I went to Plado for the first time last night with a couple of friends who had already been there several times and raved about it. They were not wrong to rave! The food was simply superb. Every dish was an experience to savor. It actually made me stop and slow down so I could enjoy what was happening in my mouth. Everything had various levels of flavor that made the experience worthwhile. I can’t wait to go back and try more. Standouts for me were hard to choose but if I had to, the taro gnocchi, duck confit, and roasted carrots were my favorite. Desserts were out of this world delicious and unique so I encourage everyone to save room. The ambiance is lovely and the chef and his wife are warm and welcoming. I wish them a long and successful stay in Glen Cove!“

“Endroit magnifique, décoré avec beaucoup de goût ! Les plats sont aussi beaux que bons, une cuisine travaillée et raffinée.. Le personnel accueillant et très professionnel ! Nous recommandons largement ! Allez-y les yeux fermés et les papilles ouvertes! 🌺“

“Enjoyed the many different Tapas we tried out 😋“

“Come visit you won't be sorry ☺️“

“My friend and I made a reservation for Gurumé at 7pm on a Saturday. I would recommend making a reservation if you are dining around this time, as it was packed! However, the crowd had dissipated by 8:30pm, so if you're looking for a later evening bite, it's definitely slower. I would also recommend not dining at peak hours because it was so loud. Decor is your average, upscale vibes, but the tables are really close together to maximize the amount of people in the space.

We ordered crispy corn and cheese ($14), oyster mushroom taco ($17), berkshire kimchi fried rice ($19), scallop crudo ($19), and pork & radish "bossam" ($19). We also ordered the black sesame bread pudding for dessert ($11). Overall, the food was flavored well and tasty. You're paying entree prices for appetizer portions, but it makes sense for the location. If I came back, I would skip the kimchi fried rice and scallop crudo. The fried rice was nothing special, and I have had better experiences with simpler ingredients; the scallop crudo was overpowered by the other flavors, losing the taste of the scallop. The bossam was so moist and juicy, with fantastic natural flavoring, though the other components did enhance the flavor. I would only recommend the corn if you are a corn lover and none of the other appetizers appeal to you. The mushroom taco had a great combination of flavors and the spice kick was mild. If you're a dessert person, the bread pudding was delectable, great black sesame flavor and the bread was also moist.

Service was outstanding. We were originally seated next to a large party, and they later moved us to a table further away where it was quieter. There were many checkbacks throughout the evening, and they definitely make you feel like you are valued as a customer. I would recommend Gurumé for a fancy night out and people in your party can talk loudly.“

“What a wonderful restaurant great mix of foods and service was so friendly. Highly recommend butternut fries to start!“

“Excellent service and food“

“We dined in. Three people. Ordered two main items, soda, and a cocktail. $100+tip. Food took one hour to arrive.Food was OK. There was only one server, very friendly but it was very hard to get their attention before or after food arrived.
I love neighborhood places and would support them fully but I am not sure how pricey they should be and how much service should I expect, with or without this pricetag.“

“Great food and very friendly staff!“

“Delicious! Friendly service.“

“Love the delicious food 🥘“

“Superb experience , great food, prompt service, moderate prices...very enjoyable and well worth the money“

“Fabulous dinner we sat outside in the beautiful outdoor seating, Great service delicious food“

“The care and creative that’s put into each dish is superb. The pre-fix is an excellent deal. And it’s fam friendly even though the food is avant-garde in style. Nice service.“

“really good for quick-service style tapas. i’ve gotten crackers and canned food here before but never tried the tapas so it was a new experience. all of the croquettes were great with the ham being my favorite (not sure if they gave us iberico or serrano). tortilla was ok but a little bland. octopus was great!“

“A charming gem in the West Village with that quintessential neighborhood feel. The team here was warm and engaging, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. The intimate setup makes it great for a date or catching up with friends, and both the cocktails and wine list were excellent. What stood out most, though, was the creativity in the dishes, each one felt thoughtfully put together and seasonal. Recommend the black sea bass ceviche.“

“The hostess greeted and seated us fairly quickly. The manager- Matthew was very nice and greeted us. Our server Andrew was very nice, friendly, knowledgeable of the menu, very efficient to get our food prepared to our preference. He checked on us periodically. Andrew is excellent and vey professional! The drinks were delicious - coke, seltzer, Perrier Jouet Brut and the food was very good especially the Wolf Salad. I just wish they'd have some jumbo shrimp dish? We ordered Arancini and The Wolf Salad as appetizers. My husband had Prime burger and fries. My daughter ordered a Bucatini pasta dish, I ordered Paccheri pasta with prawns. The prawns were small and cut up into little pieces. Not what I had expected. I was looked forward to whole shrimp. All in all, the food was delicious and cooked to our preferences! Dessert was delicious- pistachio, vanilla gelato and the cantaloupe sorbet were delicious! We've been to Wolf a few times this year. The burgers and The Wolf Salad are excellent. Last week my daughter ordered the steak and it was tender and delicious! Overall the ambiance and dinner experience at Wolf Restaurant was enjoyable! Thank you!“

“Great food. Good service.“

“We couldn’t visit NYC without stopping by to see our favorite bartender, Karen (not Karen) at the Shoe Bar in Nordstrom. She’s an absolute gem—lovely, friendly, and a true ambassador for Nordstrom. And on top of all that, she mixes a hell of a drink! It's been such a pleasure knowing her for over 4 years.“

“2024-10-31
This place has A.C. amazing after walking around all day sightseeing.
Food was delicious especially the Szechuan spicy chicken, fyi doesn't come in a sauce. Scallion pancake was very tasty, as was the chicken soup dumplings. Definitely recommend this place.“

“Super nice. We have fun! Good food“

“Their services will help you loose weight not only because following this diet burns fat but they also take in consideration the amount of calories in recipes. Being in calorie deficit is the only way to get the results you are looking for.“

“A truly delightful dining experience with small plates that don’t disappoint. We particularly loved the tartare, with finely diced tomato and a well balanced ginger sesame dressing. It’s hard to believe that the words “great beet hummus” but trust me! Also the persimmon salad with yuzu yogurt - wow. We also really enjoyed the play on a bagel and cream cheese for dessert - very fun and a great punch of flavors with the homemade strawberry jam. Will def return!

Pro tip: the bathroom is a must visit.“

“My friends, check out the chefs menu.
Come hungry and leave delightfully pleased. Chef was a legend and everything was cooked to perfection.
Took my lady here for her bday and decided with the sampler/chefs choice. Could not be more pleased.
Professional, delicious, and attentive.
Love this place and will be taking friends and work folk here soon.
Check it out you will not be disappointed unless you are a little puss.
Really great stuff and orange hat chef you killed it. Thanks again.“

“Amazing service, amazing food. Everyone was extremely friendly and attentive. Beautiful venue. Came here for our anniversary and will absolutely be returning! Michele provided excellent service and provided a wonderful experience. The tuna soja was delicious“

“The pork chop was succulent and had the most amazing spice combination. The barbacoa was the best I have ever had. Not a fan of the mezcal, but I gave it a try. Other more common drinks looked great with a good pour. Good vibe and open late with a super friendly staff!“
