Tapas Restaurants near Far Rockaway, NY

“I can’t believe I’ve never reviewed this place. We’ve been coming here for years and recommend it to friends. Today (8/11/23), however, I came in for the bottle of wine and cheese deal and then cheese plate was shrunken to a tiny platter that made it impossible to cut on it. Also, three olives to two people???? Screw whomever made that decision. Still, we will be back.“

“Came back a second time and can officially say Tong Brooklyn in Bushwick is the best Thai food I know of in NYC, in the same class as LA and Thailand. And one of my favorite restaurants periodt. Everything has been top tier and filled with delight and surprise.“

“This spot is a real gem for a chill night out. Not everything blew my mind, especially the ramen was kinda alright, not outta this world, but still solid. Service took a hot minute, which was a bit weird because the place wasn't packed, but the folks working there were cool, so no big deal.“

“One of my favorite dining experiences in a while. The prices were very reasonable, but the food and service were amazing. We went on a Saturday and our server (I believe Argentinian?) was incredible, not pushy at all, and timed out the meal beautifully. She didn't try to upsell, but was attentive and we had no problem being there for almost four hours while having different dishes. The food itself was fantastic - highly recommend the steak, empanadas (amazing sauce), and the croquettes. Also a very nice atmosphere and great drinks. Will go back for sure.“

“Lost At Sea is a cozy restaurant with a charming vibe, making it a good destination for a date. Seated at the bar, we embarked on a culinary journey that exceeded our expectations. The food was exceptional, warranting a solid five-star rating. The chef's bold approach to cooking resulted in dishes bursting with flavors that left a lasting impression on our palates. The outstanding whitefish dip was noteworthy, a true gem that elevated our dining experience to new heights.However, we hit a snag with the clarified Old Fashioned. Despite its intriguing concept, this cocktail fell short of expectations. Devoid of its quintessential bourbon essence and overwhelmed by excessive sweetness, it failed to capture the timeless allure of an Old Fashioned. The bartender attributed the sweetness to an "illusion in my brain," which perplexed me. It was a disappointing choice that left me nursing a hangover the next day.Despite this minor setback, the staff remained attentive and courteous throughout our visit, contributing to the overall warmth of the experience. GO!“

“What a wonderful experience!! The vibe is just as what people have said. Feels like home with great attention in service from the staff. The foid felt like it was cooked from the heart. You can literally see the care they take in cooking the meals.We also appreciated when the owner stopped by our table on his way out and asked if we needed any explanation of menu . He obviously wasn't working today but thought enough to stop to talk to us..This tells you the level of service you get. And you have to take a stroll around place. Not a big place but they have eating areas in the coolest nooks and cranies of the place. Highly recommend!!!“

“It's a very nice little place, they have a live Jazz band on Wednesdays, the drummer also does a karaoke night. He's absolutely fantastic, very funny and no matter how many or little people are there he tries to involve everyone there, it's great.. If you participate you get a little trophy ? you must go at least once.. it really is a little hidden gem!! ??“

“Celebrated son's Birthday...was looking for a special experience. French Onion Soup, Clams Casino, Filet Mignon, and Stuffed Pork Chop plus two scrumptious unique deserts hit the mark. I recommend Chadwick's if you are looking for what was only available in Manhattan. Delicious food, and professional staff who knows how to make the customer feel appreciated.“

“First time at Plancha. What a gem! I had a lemondrop to start. A perfectly balanced drink. We ordered grilled shrimp. Had a panini that was a house special with mortadella. Yum. The octopus was tender served over butter beans. Brussel sprout salad was very nice. Pan con Jamon, so good. Dessert bread pudding and lemon chess pie was a wonderful way to end the meal. The staff is very nice and talented. Check out the menu before you go, as they have so much to offer. It is a great casual place with fantastic food in Long Island.“

“I would given it a 5 star if my son and I didn't felt rushed to order and leave. We were excited to eat here because it's our 1st time but our server was kinda rushing us to order and leave. I'm sure she didn't mean it that way. As soon we sat down and gave us the menu, she asked what we wanted for appetizers, I had to tell her to give us a few minutes to decide because we didn't even get to open the menu yet. My son asked for a container to bring home his left over. Server came with the container and the bill not even asking if we wanted anything else. My son had to ask for the dessert menu even after handing us the bill. Overall, everything was good except for the rushed experience.“

“A lot of my friends recommended this restaurant so I decided to celebrate my mom’s birthday in Sangria 71. I was impressed with the food and interior design. Everything was beyond my expectations. Will definitely come again. If I could have put 10 stars, I would have done this.“

“Great food, great drinks. The staff is always super friendly, and attentive. I order something different every time I come here and have never been disappointed.The room can be a quite loud when it's busy which is not due rowdy customers, but rather the lack of acoustic treatment in the room.I would highly recommend this place if you're in the area.“

“Very good over all. You have to be a little selective with the menu items to get the best dishes; IMO some are overpriced but others are good. I was a little taken aback that one server gave us a hard time about taking a picture for us, but another gentleman (I'm not sure if he was the manager or owner?) was very kind about proactively asking us to take pictures for us. Over all I recommend!!“
