Ayza Wine & Chocolate Bar Reviews
Booked a reservation to this place and it really gave us a nice welcome to NYC. The food was amazing. The chocolate wine was the best thing ever. I love everything from the main course to the dessert. Beautiful presentation every time.
Great wine selection by the glass with some really interesting U.S. options - the Sonoma Pinot Noir was a highlight for me. I had the Restaurant Week dinner menu which was fantastic value for money. Service was super professional and friendly. Nothing to complain about!
I can confidently say this has become my new favorite spot in NYC, the happy hour is amazing, the drinks are delicious, the food is so good, but definitely the service is the best part of it, our server Alexis was so knowledgeable about the menu, the drinks, she was so incredibly sweet and just made the experience even better if possible, I can’t wait to be back.
