Tapas Restaurants in New York, NY

“Nut allergy friendly: Nothing we had had any concerns. I don't think anything they use has nuts.

Wow. This probably ranks into my top 3 Korean restaurants in the US. It's a quaint shop from the outside that I almost walked by despite following directions, but it's packed with flavor.

We made a reservation two weeks ahead when they opened up and were promptly seated.

Order-to-Dishes: Roughly 13-19 mins for appetizers, 23 mins for sharable entrees.

For three people, we ordered:
-Kimchi (complimentary): Excellent. Great balance, not too acidic.
-Seafood Butter-Gui (5/5): An interesting Mediterranean feeling dish with the pita, but it blends the butter with delicious seafood and the perfect accompaniments to balance out each bite.
-Seafood Pancake (5/5): They manage to get squid or shrimp or mussels into each bite of the pancake. Stellar texture. Delicious balance with the chive and basil.
-Fried Soft Shell Crab (6/5): Holy smokes. Must order. Not sure how they fry this but it is excellently crispy and still fresh tasting at the same time.
-Fried Chicken (4.5/5): I give this a good rating for excellent portions. It's fried in a similar way as the soft shell crab. I think it was a bit weaker in texture but overall, still very good.
-Duck Bulgogi (4/5): While this was the weakest dish in my opinion, the duck was still very tender and flavorful. I think it should have been served with some rice or something other than beansprouts.
-Spicy Fish Stew (4/5): Went very well with rice, very tender fish and clams but not enough to share with 3 people.
-Seafood Japchae (5/5): The heck did they do to make this Japchae so good? The octopus perfectly balanced the Japchae texture and it's a great level of spice.

The quality of seafood was overall excellent.

With two drinks it came out to roughly $75/pp.
I'd definitely come back if only for the soft shell crab, and highly recommend.“

“Here's the review Spencer wrote for you: My family and I just visited to celebrate my grandsons birthday- we like to get a bunch of plates and share family style and this menu was perfect for that. You have to get mezze and extra bread (must try the kubane). We also ended up getting three orders of the shishbarak for the six of us, it is way too good! I got the salmon for my entree which was cooked to perfection and beautifully seasoned. Spencer our server recommended the silan and the cheesecake for dessert so we shared those and boy were they something special- I can’t pick a favorite! He brought us a candle and we got some great pictures. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough.“

“This is a bit of an upscale tapas bar, knowledge staff, not obtrusive. It did remind me of some upscale places in Spain. Go eat tapas the Manhattans with chocolate rim omg! Food was good too!“

“The care and creative that’s put into each dish is superb. The pre-fix is an excellent deal. And it’s fam friendly even though the food is avant-garde in style. Nice service.“

“What a wonderful restaurant great mix of foods and service was so friendly. Highly recommend butternut fries to start!“

“Delightful and cozy. Not only is the ambiance very nice but the food os a total delight 😋“

“A cute date night spot located inside the made hotel. I stopped in for tapas and the lovely gentleman with the amazing curly hair and glasses served us. 1 star removed because of the poor energy from the manager who did not acknowledge us until the second time she passed us entering and then seemed to interrupt our waiter while he was closing us out to rush him to close o it another customer. If it were not for the amazing service from others, I would give this place even less stars.“

“Accueil est cordial, le personnel professionnel , la nourriture est très bonne. Un petit coin de Provence à New York. Ambiance sympa 👍🏻“

“Endroit magnifique, décoré avec beaucoup de goût ! Les plats sont aussi beaux que bons, une cuisine travaillée et raffinée.. Le personnel accueillant et très professionnel ! Nous recommandons largement ! Allez-y les yeux fermés et les papilles ouvertes! 🌺“

“a great Basque tapas restaurant. i wonderful gem in Chelsea!“

“Incredible opportunity to listen to fantastic music!“

“Very neat spot, the bar and seating area are gorgeous. Service was very good. My only complaint is the high cost of drinks, even by NYC standards. Cocktails started at $25 and a shot was $20. It was a good experience and I'm glad we checked it out but we won't return purely due to the prices.“

“Came her with my parents to celebrate my mom’s birthday. We had a fantastic experience.

Bazaar did a great job acknowledging my mom’s special day. They brought out complimentary drinks and had a nice surprise for us when we ordered dessert. My mom doesn’t drink, so they even brought her non alcoholic wine.

The food consist of a mix of very light, small dishes to pretty substantial mains. We had:

Jamon - freshly sliced off a leg, served with yummy tomato bread
Bao con lechon - steamed buns with pork belly. These were fine, not my favorite
Dragon fruit ceviche - very interesting presentation and the flavors mixed surprisingly well. It was super light and refreshing
Not your everyday caprese - a creative take on a caprese salad
Brussel sprouts - this was another light dish, but very enjoyable
Spanish octopus - one of our favorite dishes. Loved the cheese sauce and the crispy potatoes mixed in with the octopus
Rosseijat Negra - a big plate of squid ink paella. My parents loved this
Pollo al ajillo - chicken thighs. It was pretty tender and the presentation was nice
Steak and piquillo - we are not usually big fans of steak, but we really liked this dish
Carrot cake - a beautifully presented carrot cake

We were incredibly full by the end.

Service was very attentive - our waters were always refilled and our waitress was lovely.

My parents are picky eaters but they were both impressed by the meal. The nice ambience and setting in the Waldorf certainly didn’t hurt either!“

“Grilled Branzino, Mushroom Pad Cha, Seafood sous Padang, Crying Tiger, Tom Yum fried rice

All absolutely delicious, each authentic and rich in flavor, literally could not put my utensils down; the depth and variety of flavor between each dish was immaculately prepared“

“Superb service Gourmet food Awesome team Best wine Thank you მადლობა“

““The bartenders Steven and John at Salinas are phenomenal! From the moment you sit at the bar, you’re greeted with warmth and professionalism. Their knowledge of cocktails is unmatched – whether you’re in the mood for a classic drink or something creative, they’ll craft it to perfection.

Not only are they skilled, but their friendly demeanor and attention to detail elevate the entire dining experience. They manage to balance the hustle of a busy bar while making every guest feel special.

The atmosphere they create is vibrant yet relaxed, making it the perfect spot for a night out or a casual drink. Highly recommend stopping by for a perfectly crafted cocktail and top-notch service. Cheers to the incredible team behind the bar!”“

“Stopped by for a few drinks and I loved it! I had the orange wine and it was very good. Fantastic food (get the bacalao croquetas!) and even better service, Cortina our server was very attentive and friendly! Great service!! We’ll be back!“

“Excellent service and food“

“Delicious! Friendly service.“

“Fabulous dinner we sat outside in the beautiful outdoor seating, Great service delicious food“

“I would give the service here 10 stars if I could. The bartender was so sweet. He made me a drink based on what I liked and it really hit the spot. All the drinks were quite nice. The menu was very interesting and the spot was very intimate.“

“The pork chop was succulent and had the most amazing spice combination. The barbacoa was the best I have ever had. Not a fan of the mezcal, but I gave it a try. Other more common drinks looked great with a good pour. Good vibe and open late with a super friendly staff!“

“A truly delightful dining experience with small plates that don’t disappoint. We particularly loved the tartare, with finely diced tomato and a well balanced ginger sesame dressing. It’s hard to believe that the words “great beet hummus” but trust me! Also the persimmon salad with yuzu yogurt - wow. We also really enjoyed the play on a bagel and cream cheese for dessert - very fun and a great punch of flavors with the homemade strawberry jam. Will def return!

Pro tip: the bathroom is a must visit.“

“Great food. Good service.“

“a good tapas experience in a casual setting. The chorizo mussels were tasty, with smoky chorizo and tender mussels. The chicken was well-cooked, juicy, and crispy on the outside. The mushroom croquettes were crispy and creamy, and the churros were light, with a rich dulce de leche sauce for dipping.

Overall, Boqueria is a solid choice for a relaxed meal with flavorful tapas.“

“The food is good and service is excellent. We had the price fixe“

“If you like “small plate” style restaurants you’ll probably love this. Food is really good and atmosphere itself is a 5/5. Corn dumplings with Parmesan is unique and ribs were really good. Noodles were quite spicy! I’d probably pass on oxtail spring rolls they were alright. If you’re looking for a big meal I’d skip unless you want to order a ton!“

“I've had dinner at Greywind, but my first time for lunch. We shared four small dishes, and they were all excellent! Service was great--attentive but not overly intrusive. High on the list for a return visit. Dan Kluger is one of the best in the city, and he really nailed it here.“

“I took my brother here for his birthday for some drinks. The place is really beautiful. The bartender really was friendly and definitely makes delicious cocktails. Their happy hours are Monday thru Friday from 4-6:30 pm.

I had their Aperol Spritz and their chocolate peanut butter espresso martini. Both were great, but I really enjoyed the martini. My brother ordered long island iced teas. Normally, I wouldn't drink one since most places make them way too strong for me. The bartender made it really smooth.

This place also has an upstairs area where you can rent for private parties. The minimum amount to rent the upstairs area is 35 to 40 people. They do serve food as well, so there are catering packages available.“

“Came here for brunch and was quite happy with the overall experience. Anything that is close to a kebab was delicious, and the kubeh itself was an interesting complement to the meal. Didn’t really think there was a stand out dish that would make me come back though.“

“The BEST place - I always order the 4 options of amazing tapas dips/ spreads with pita. Perfect when having people over, and always a hit at a potluck party. (And surprisingly affordable!!!) The atmosphere is romantic/ fun and yet still easy and casual.“

“Great service and a wonderful frose“

“Not too bad“

“We ABSOLUTELY loved it. The food was fantastic so delicious especially mama’s bread!! The wines were divine 🍷 🍷 😋 The owner was gracious and the service was awesome- we will be back!!“

“The food was incredibly delicious. We ordered the trio of sauces and several small plates, including the spinach triangles, lamb triangles and veal meatballs. Everything was excellent.“

“Great mimosas and food . Good atmosphere.“

“I was exploring the neighborhood and this was no "the list". I was not disappointed! (other than they were out of the Haricots Verts Lyonnaise! I have to com back for them...)

The food was great and the service was so friendly and welcoming. I sent pics to a friend in California and he wants to visit!

Only "complaint": the Brussels sprouts were too sweet sitting in a pool of syrup. Less is more...“

“Best plate of the night. Ambience was perfect and service excelled.“

“Great food, reasonable prices in Manhattan. However, it was extremely warm inside, almost hard to breathe at some point so we finished the meal quickly to get some air... Also the high chair seats are not the most comfortable. Garlic shrimps and squid ink rice were really nice!“

“Great sushi! Great ramen!“

“Fantastic romantic wine bar - very popular date spot. The staff are super knowledgeable and friendly - Dennis always makes sure you have a great time! They have an extensive bottle list and if you order two glasses they'll open anything BTG.“

“friendly, clean, delicious lunch!“

“最高でした！ 日本でもここまでの居酒屋は無いと思います！“

“Thank you Zaytinya for a wonderful dinner last night despite the mini hurricane that blew through the city. Allan, Anna, Leonora, and Chef were amazing and their customer service skills were top notch. Despite us all being soaked with rain, we laughed it off and had a blast. Allan is a beast with the table squeegee. The food was delicious.“

“I’m so glad their back! ❤️❤️❤️“

“delicious food and drinks menu. service was attentive too.“

“87 Ludlow is a hidden treasure, serving incredibly tasty Filipino dishes. The atmosphere is equally impressive, with welcoming decor enhancing the dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone eager to savor the rich flavors and warm hospitality of Filipino culture!“

“Great night of friends, family and wine!“

“I stayed with my mother at the Grayson for 3 days. The entire experience was really good, from the cozy rooms to the great location. We had breakfast every morning. The avocado toast was amazing and our server Ruben was super attentive and funny! I have no doubt I will come back again.“
