El Quijote is a cozy and quiet restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere, perfect for special occasions. The staff is friendly and attentive, often offering complimentary desserts or notes to celebrate events. The food is praised, though some customers miss the original menu items like the papas bravas. The historic location and professional service make it a highly recommended destination for group events in New York.
The wait staff is described as very nice and professional. Customers have enjoyed the chef's special grilled pork with potatoes and dessert, as well as several appetizers and beer, all of which were delicious. The space is small with a big bar and a limited menu of popular Spanish fare, which can be a bit noisy. The staff is cordial and young. Customers have had a positive dining experience, though some feel the prices are not inexpensive. One customer celebrated a special occasion and was impressed with the outstanding service, delicious food, and amazing cocktails, and looks forward to returning.
