La Barra at Mercado Little Spain

The food was very good, as usual. The service was a bit lacking --we were in a corner and we had to get the attention of the server, who was not checking on us regularly. Also, serving of wine by the glass was way too skimpy for the $22 price!

Sindy, our waitress really helped us decipher the menu since it was our first time having tapas meals. It was fun, delicious and the cava sangria just perfect! Can't wait to go back. Very affordable for Hudson Yards and filling. Our table in the back was also terrific! Thank you'

Overall, we had a very enjoyable lunch at the restaurant. It definitely does seem like authentic Spanish. The prices are quite high, but it is New York.  The atmosphere of the market is great to be inside. The Chicken Croquettes were especially good as was the Pan Con Tomate

Good selection of tapas. The Cebolla Asada Y Queso Azul Mama Marisa was a surprise and a delight. We ordered a second because it was so good. The Pincho de Tortilla de Patatas was as good as I had in Madrid. Definitely returning to this restaurant!

Terrible service and expensive food. I had to ask for the bill four times and they didn't bring it. When I got up to leave, they came running after me.

Based on our overall experience, the reason why I gave 2 stars because of the server who's giving us attitude, BIG TIME! It started off great when they accommodated us earlier than our reservation time but failed after our server came. Don't get me wrong the food was fantastic but our experience was ruined by our server which I did not bother to get her name because I was so disappointed. Just to give a description of her, she has blonde hair but maybe from hispanic ethnicity (just to inform the management if they want to hear out about their guests experience). If it's not for the wonderful lady who has brought our food many times I don't know how to describe the service that we got.

We always try to hit Little Spain whenever we're visiting NYC, as having been to Madrid numerous times, we find it's quite comparable to what you'd experience in a Spanish Mercado/Market. We like dining at the bar, as we get to talk about the food more with our bartender. The food is always delicious, and we asked Anna (our bartender) for some guidance this time and her recommendations were spot on. We also brought a local friend along, who had never even heard of Little Spain - he'll be back!! And so will we!

We made a reservation for two and were seated at a table that was very cold and had a strong draft. We asked to be moved to another table and waited 15 minutes for an answer. I had to call the hostesses to ask if we would be moved, and was told they can’t move us because they have tons of reservations. The personnel were not polite and did not treat us respectfully. A quick check on the OpenTable app showed plenty of availability. They ended up canceling the reservation on OpenTable, probably so we can’t leave a negative review. We ended up going for a great meal at another restaurant.

Andres and Ana were amazing! Very attentive and provided excellent recommendations for drinks and food. Bar atmosphere was good for catching up with friends and good music. Highly recommend and will be coming back next time we visit the city.

Generally would never give one star but since I wasn't a party of two they would not seat me at a table even though virtually empty and confirmed if i was two i could have a table. I'm not a bar person. They don't need my patronage.
