Ernesto's offers a warm and inviting atmosphere with a fine dining experience in NYC, influenced by Spanish-Basque cuisine. The restaurant is well-loved for its visual appeal and good energy, making it feel like a secret shared among friends. The menu changes almost daily, allowing guests to try something new each visit. The smaller dishes are highly recommended over the larger ones, with dishes like Gambas (shrimp), Gildas, Tortilla, Matramonios, and Cochinillo standing out as especially delicious and creative. The cheesecake is also a popular dessert choice. Guests have praised the amazing drinks and the extensive menu that offers a great variety of Basque food. The chef’s counter provides an engaging experience where diners can witness the kitchen action firsthand. Although the food is tasty and the service is generally professional and friendly, some guests have mentioned that food can take a long time to arrive, and the interior can be quite hot if the A/C is not turned on. Guests have noted the exceptional tailored attention and care from the staff, highlighting the restaurant's commitment to quality ingredients. Ernesto's is a perfect spot for a drink and small bites, with the full dinner experience at the counter offering excellent wine recommendations from the well-curated list. Overall, Ernesto's is a great place to enjoy a cozy, flavorful meal, especially if opting for a table outside for a more relaxed, snack-style experience.
