Tapas Restaurants in New York, NY

“I had an incredible dining experience at Salinas! The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish beautifully prepared and full of flavor. The cocktails were expertly crafted and paired perfectly with the meal. The warm, inviting atmosphere and attentive service made the entire experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Salinas to anyone looking for exceptional Spanish cuisine in New York City, and I can’t wait to return!“

“Delicious! Friendly service.“

“wow great fun take on traditional busan style food.
I thought the Spicy Monkfish was very flavorful and good and the dolsot albap was surprisingly very tasty. Im usually not the biggest fan of albap but this was not too fishy and the crispy rice on the bowl was very pleasant and went well with the dish.
Duck bulgogi probably least special and ok to skip but not bad.“

“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.“

“The popcorn chicken was so good. I think it was my favorite dish of everything we ordered, and the potatoes were perfectly done. The pasta was good, but I didn’t go crazy about it. The shrimp toast was good, and the sauce was excellent. The mushroom bibimbap was tasty and had a kind of coconut flavor at the end.

The restaurant was very loud; I couldn’t hear what the people at my table were saying. The service was all over the place. They had a problem with the AC unit dripping, so they put a pan underneath to catch the water, but they dropped the pan all over the floor and into the kitchen. They didn’t seem to clean their hands afterward and continued serving customers.

The restaurant was very understaffed. The food is great, but the place needs to feel a little cleaner and more organized.“

“Absolutely wonderful — hands down one of the best meals of the trip. Every dish we ordered was excellent: the watermelon salad, tuna, mandu, steak and potatoes, tteokbokki, and the sesame bread and butter pudding were all full of flavor and beautifully presented.

I loved the Korean-fusion small-plates concept — creative, shareable and really well executed. The cocktails were also excellent.

We sat at the bar for a 5 p.m. dinner before a 7 p.m. show, and the timing was perfect. Service was sharp, everything came out at just the right pace, and the bar had such a lively, engaging atmosphere with great conversation from the team.

Fun, flavorful, beautifully plated and full of energy. Would absolutely come back.“

“Delicious food!! The best place I've been to in the east village in a very long time. I highly recommend it 😋“

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

“Went here on a whim to celebrate our friends special ocassion. The interior is nicely decorated and quiet. We ordered some patatas bravas, cheese and ham platter, white sangria and the chicken! Our food was brought our promptly and we enjoyed our food and drinks. The plates were easily shareable among 4 people and the food was good. The star was definitely the chicken. I'm not sure what they put in that chicken or how they cooked it but it was delicious. One of our friends declared ir the best chicken he's had in his life.
Huge shout out to our server who was funny, attentive and brought us some champagne to celebrate our special ocassion!“

“Easily our best meal in NY. An intimate and relaxed setting with the most delicious food. We were hosted by Natalie, Eamon and Ryan who went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. Every aspect of this place, from the food, to the venue, to the service has been carefully considered. We can't wait to go back on our next trip.“

“Great food. Good service.“

“What a fantastic evening at Tiny Tapas! My friends and I came in looking for good food and great company, and we walked out with so much more. From the moment we sat down, the energy of this place just felt right—warm, welcoming, and full of genuine hospitality.
The real heart of the experience was Eric, the owner. He treated us with so much respect and made us feel like we belonged there. The conversation flowed effortlessly, and there was this easy harmony to the whole night that you just can’t fake. Eric clearly pours his heart into this place, and it shows in every detail.
And the food? Absolutely outstanding. Every plate hit the mark, and sharing tapas around the table is the perfect way to slow down and savor both the flavors and the company. It’s the kind of meal that reminds you good food is meant to be shared.
If you’re looking for a spot to gather with friends, laugh, eat well, and walk away feeling like life is a whole lot better than you remembered—this is the place. Tiny Tapas is a gem, and we’ll absolutely be back. Thank you, Eric, for an unforgettable night!“

“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.“

“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!“

“I went to Plado for the first time last night with a couple of friends who had already been there several times and raved about it. They were not wrong to rave! The food was simply superb. Every dish was an experience to savor. It actually made me stop and slow down so I could enjoy what was happening in my mouth. Everything had various levels of flavor that made the experience worthwhile. I can’t wait to go back and try more. Standouts for me were hard to choose but if I had to, the taro gnocchi, duck confit, and roasted carrots were my favorite. Desserts were out of this world delicious and unique so I encourage everyone to save room. The ambiance is lovely and the chef and his wife are warm and welcoming. I wish them a long and successful stay in Glen Cove!“

“We celebrated my 30th birthday here last night, and it was such a beautiful experience from start to finish! ✨ The food was delicious, the atmosphere was elegant and cozy, and the server Lambert were so welcoming and attentive throughout the evening.

Everything felt special, and it was the perfect place to celebrate such an important milestone with my friends. We truly enjoyed our time here, and I’m so happy I chose this restaurant for my 30th birthday dinner.

Thank you for making my celebration even more memorable! 🤍✨ I would definitely come back and recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and a beautiful dining experience.“

“💥💥💥💥💥 Just discovered a gem! Can’t wait to return. Tucked in on Columbus Av. betw 106/107. Best Mexican food I’ve yet to find in the city. I had the fish tacos! Excellente! Also the best sangria. Our server, Carol, was wonderful. And she gave me a delicious flan desert and everyone sang happy birthday. Thank you Carol and everyone! See you soon!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ One of My Favorite Korean Restaurants! Seoul BAP is not just another Korean restaurant — the food is absolutely amazing! Every dish is full of rich, authentic Korean flavors with a modern twist. It’s truly one of the best Korean dining spots in the city. The cocktail menu is just as exciting — featuring creative drinks that perfectly match the vibe and flavor of the food. 🍹 Spicy Passionfruit Margarita – bold and vibrant with a Korean-inspired kick. 🥃 Bourbon Bee Hive – smooth, rich, and full of depth. 💜 Lavender Skies – crafted with premium gin infused with butterfly pea flower and lavender, finished with a touch of Amaro — simply elegant. And the newest favorite everyone’s asking for: 🌺 Midnight Hibiscus – a hibiscus-infused vodka cocktail with elderflower and gentle sweetness. It’s beautifully balanced and pairs perfectly with Seoul BAP’s contemporary Korean cuisine. Best enjoyed with Taylor Swift’s Opalite playing in the background! 🎶✨ Come check out Seoul BAP — where Seoul meets style, flavor, and good vibes all in one place.“

“Excellent service and food“

“Adore this place. I came here with my closeted friend Dennis, and I could tell he was gathering himself to tell me something important. The fact that he felt safe enough to do that here says something about what this place means for the LGBT community“

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

“Great times and great ambience!“

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

“we had amazing time, the food was so yummy.“

“Victoria and her catering team are incredible. I reached out for food for 1000 people for a FIFA World Cup watch party at our corporate office in New York. Unfortunately I did not have advanced notice for this order and placed it last night. When they opened this morning they did everything they possibly could to accommodate our request and I must say from the presentation to delivery and communication everything was seamless and perfectly executed. I really appreciated how kind and accommodating Victoria was and how she made this happen for us. I will absolutely be ordering from them again (with advanced notice of course) and recommending them for future events!“

“We had a great time sitting at the bar (drinks and tapas). we'd like to thank Max so much. Brilliant barman. He made our last day in NY very special (love Mrs. Doubtfire) 🤣“

“By far the top cocktail bar in Hell’s Kitchen. I’ve been here for drinks with friends, corporate events, as well as date nights. There are multiple floors and plenty of seating area. Music is not loud so you can have a good conversation. My favorite spot is the martini room. Each area feels special and is separated enough to make it feel like you’re having your own private moment and not in a crowded bar in the middle of the city. They do a great job at making drinks and everything I’ve had, including the food has been top notch.“

“Superb experience , great food, prompt service, moderate prices...very enjoyable and well worth the money“

“I went during restaurant week for a date night. The ambience is very intimate and cozy. It was an extremely hot day the restaurant was nicely cool and seated us in a timely manner. The restaurant menu was unique and suprub! I like that the start of our ordering process that our server inquired about dietary restrictions or accommodations. Fortunately, do not have any, but it showed competency. The use of truffle in the ceviche was elevated and the corn dumplings left me wanting more. The drinks were made perfectly and the packaging with the light inside the adult capris gave the experience a nice novelty photo worthy opportunity. The presentation of the food was elegant and overall excellent. I wish the donuts were a little larger or they gave one more that’s my only critique. I would definitely recommend this place and would love to return. I wish I took more photos but the experience was one that deserved being in the moment.“

“The sharing plate with hummus, muhammara, tzatziki, and naan was a great start—creamy, flavorful, and perfect for sharing. The kofta meatballs were juicy and well-seasoned.

The chicken shawarma was tasty, but it tasted more like a chicken curry than traditional shawarma. The steak was cooked nicely and had good flavor. Overall, a satisfying meal with a nice variety of dishes!

Pistachio baklava was super delicious!! The watermelon zero cocktail was good.“

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

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

“Incredible opportunity to listen to fantastic music!“

“Tinto is a true fine dining experience in Washington Heights. Amazing service, high end tapas and a great date night atmosphere. One of my local favorite spots.“

“Very nice atmosphere in the middle of the East Village.“

“Me and some friends went for drinks and sat outside! Gorgeous street and lots of outdoor seating. The wait staff was great offering a great recommendation for their summer style margarita with cucumber in it! The fries were really well seasoned and delicious! Leonora was super attentive to our table!“

“Came here for my birthday two years ago and decided to come back again this year. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and beautifully explained by the staff. Every single person involved in service was warm, attentive, and really just great people. So happy to see this place is still doing well. Can’t wait to come back for the new lunch menu as well.“

“Amazing Place!! Crafty Delicious Cocktails, Awesome Service, Tasty Tapas. Beautiful Ambiance & Presentation. I recommend this Place. Everything's Jake!!👍Thank you, Hana“

“I went to Ella Social for the first time on Friday, December 19, 2025. The food was superbly seasoned and delicious! The service was top notch and the ambience was great.“

“Ruffian is a cute little wine bar with a deeply impressive wine menu. I tried their Greek wine flight, which was absolutely delicious, along with two of their tapas that did not disappoint.

Berkshire Pork Shoulder (4.5/5): Very tender, and the sauce paired well with the meat.

Smoked Duck Breast (4.5/5): I’m not usually a fan of berry-style sauces on meat, but this worked well with the duck. The smokiness really pulled through and balanced everything out.“

“I originally came in to pit stop shoes and ended up doing a little pitstop at Shoe Bar and had such a great time! The Smoke and Heat drink is perfection, and we absolutely loved our bartender. Grace is such a gem, she made the experience extra special.“
