Incredible food and a great setting. The lamb belly and pork were standouts, but don't sleep on the anchovies and butter

I discovered a love of vermouth at this restaurant. The food was savory, rich, and perfect for sharing. It was also romantic.

If you don’t want to eat halal guys or dave’s hot chicken after this place you should not go there. Their portion is so small and overpriced.

Unfortunately a bit disappointing, it was nothing special and sooooo overpriced. The plates were so so small that you can have one spoon of one plate if you are 4 people. It should be tapas so don’t charge 36$ for a mini basic plate. Desserts were great. We had for 70$ each and I was still hungry afterwards.

Really really good. Some dishes are a miss but maybe that was personal preference. this restaurant is excellent and I would 100% recommend it.

The chocolate flan is an ABSOLUTE must. It is one of the best desserts I've had in New York City and one of the best bites of the year

Favorite dishes I had here were the Ajo Blanco and the cucumber grain salad

WOW! Absolutely spectacular dishes! I mean, really, this place will Rock. Your. World. You are going to read the menu and think you know what you getting but when it gets to you, you will be amazed by the creativity, expertise and ingredients they combined to create something completely unexpected and sublimely delicious. If you want to taste, alchemy, jazz, romance and adventure, you will find it here!
The wait staff are historians and know so much about what is on your plate and where it came from, so fun! It was such a an experience. I can't wait to go again.

I recently went there to spend my last night in New York, and I was extremely disappointed. First, I was seated at the bar, but no one came to take my order for quite a long time. Even when I asked the bartender to explain the dishes, all they did was repeat the names. Eventually, I managed to order a few dishes and a bottle of wine, but throughout the entire meal, I didn’t get a single glance from the staff and not once did anyone pour the wine. If that’s the case, I really don’t understand the purpose of having a bartender at the bar or why they expect tips. During the meal, a server only came by once—and only because I sought them out—to take the order, and that was it. I know it may not be like this every day, but with this kind of service, I don’t believe they deserve tips.

We were visiting my husband’s daughter. I did some research on the best restaurants. This place, by far the best tapas I’ve ever had. I’m sad we won’t be able to return again and again.

This place serves food that makes you stop and pay attention. This place provided an amazing experience. La Vara combines positional advantage with good service. Employees were great and all were ready to assist! This place exceeds rating capabilities.
