Tapas Restaurants in New York, NY

“I was so impressed by ARIARI! Every dish was full of fresh, vibrant flavors and beautifully plated. The seafood and grilled items really stood out — everything was cooked perfectly and seasoned just right. The staff were super friendly and attentive, and the vibe of the place is modern yet comfortable. Such a great spot for dinner with friends or a nice date night! 🍶🍤✨“

“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!“

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

“Amazing, quiet bar in the middle of Chelsea, in the historic Chelsea Hotel. Recently renovated, and this is the ambience you are looking for. Gorgeous space, fantastic drinks, and cold A/C on a hot summer day.

Great spot, and I'll be back!“

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

“Incredible opportunity to listen to fantastic music!“

“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.“

“How staff treats customers determines my opinion. Workers here know how to make customers happy. You'll taste the difference their high-quality ingredients make in every dish. The team operates efficiently. Highest marks for the wonderful dining and friendly service.“

“I am a big fan of celebrity Chef Jose Andres, he is brilliant. Chef Jose founded World Central Kitchen and sent food to Palestine such an admirable and courageous man. His deconstruction on Caviar with the finest iberico called Jose Taco is a must-have try. I loved the cotton candy foi gras which I paired with 45 year aged sherry from Spain epic Chef's kiss. We sat next to the Chef's Table. What an amazing experience I was transported back to Spain.“

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

“great happy hour and nice patio setup. owned by the same people as bar belly so you know it’s good. we walked in at 6:30 on a friday with no wait. wine was great and cocktails were good. would return for drinks and snacks before a night out.“

“Excellent service and food“

“Delicious! Friendly service.“

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

“Great food. Good service.“

“A charming gem in the West Village with that quintessential neighborhood feel. The team here was warm and engaging, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. The intimate setup makes it great for a date or catching up with friends, and both the cocktails and wine list were excellent. What stood out most, though, was the creativity in the dishes, each one felt thoughtfully put together and seasonal. Recommend the black sea bass ceviche.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“We walked in, there were no tables in the restaurant but we were given a table in the bar area (which was completely fine and we appreciated it!).

It was very busy but the staff were amazing. They gave us recommendations on meals and also made drinks that weren’t on the menu.

We had the burger which was very nice and the fries were amazing.

The crispy potatoes and shishitos and also crispy prawns. Everything was amazing.

Would definitely recommend“

“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.“

“Some dishes truly impressed - like the oxtail spring roll and the yellowtail, and others flopped like the cauliflower (which the server failed to tell us was battered and fried when we asked about it) and the scallops. The corn dumplings were solid but could have been more flavorful. The cocktail I ordered was so sweet that I sent it back.“

“Great service and a wonderful frose“

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

“Went here for Saturday brunch.
Not so busy unlike diner cross the street. Few outdoor table as well. Bars in front. Seated indoor right behind high table.

Super tapas. Sangria and cerveza to pair. Jamon triangle, my wife not as keen on Manchester, I didn't mind.
Brunch has sunny-side egg, chorizo, and potato generous portion. Ordered extra pan along. We liked pan con tomato with much generous layer of tomatoes better than Nacional or Little Spain at Hudson Yards. Rice with squid in black ink most exquisite. Not so salty, perfect. Finished with postre a la mode. Nice coffee.

Next time looking forward to order jamon y queso, croqueta and flan, pair with oloroso.“

“Just the best. Favorite wine bar in the world, bar none (no pun intended… maybe a little though). Up until coming here for the first time four years ago, I was largely tepid (at best) when it came to wine. Then their incredible selection opened up a whole new door to wine I didn’t even know existed. Turns out, Eastern/central European wines are my favorite, and their thoughtfully curated menu never has any shortage of options to try and fall in love with. Bummed they don’t have their covid-era outdoor patio situation anymore, but thats obviously not that deep. Staff/somms are so kind, helpful, knowledgeable, and personable especially to chit chat with about wine or, like, anything else. Big thanks and love to them for helping me figure out what wine is my vibe. I love Ruffian always forever.“

“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.“

“Not too bad“

“Kubeh did an AMAZING job with a recent big catered meal at our home. Food, service, warmth, kindness, etc all A+++. Everyone loved every bite. We've also had a great time and loved the meal every time we've eaten at the restaurant. One of our NYC faves!“

“This is hands-down my favorite wine bar in the city. The vibe is always spot-on and the staff is super friendly. I went for brunch this morning and it was the perfect start to the day. The wagyu sliders were juicy and flavorful, and the shakshuka had just the right kick. Everything hit the spot. Much more than your neighborhood wine bar!“

“We came in for the bottomless brunch deal using a pulsd voucher and we were wowed! The tacos were all fresh and delicious!! Very unique and generous portions!! The margaritas were outstanding!! Our service was the best part, honestly…our server, Carol, was the sweetest and so attentive!! She made sure our drinks were full, that our tacos kept coming and we had everything we needed! It’s a fun place, super clean, and cozy. We can’t wait to come back!!“

“Great mimosas and food . Good atmosphere.“

“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!!“

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

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

“Great night of friends, family and wine!“

“Exceptional food at a very good price. Lovely setting. Comfortable seating. Good wine list. Some standouts on the menu: fried artichoke, shrimp al ajillo, shishito peppers, patatas bravas, and white pizza. We just had tapas and dessert. The creme brulée was creamy and the chocolate ganache cake was truly over the top! Thick and chocolate-y. The house manager was extremely attentive in making sure our requests were handled quickly and with charm. He even adjusted speakers for us when possible since the vibe here is lively and we were four people who actually wanted to talk to (and hear) each other. This restaurant is an amazing newcomer to the area. We are from out of town, and were looking for a place between mid-town Manhattan and Northern New Jersey, and this was perfect! Highly highly recommend. Great food, and a good time.“

“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！“

“Great sushi! Great ramen!“

“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!“

“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.“

“I’m so glad their back! ❤️❤️❤️“

“We came to 87 Ludlow as a group of three and had such a great experience. The food was amazing, and we were lucky to catch their happy hour — the tapas were incredible! The Panang Curry with mussels was our favorite dish. Great vibe, great food, definitely coming back!“

“Always Amazing Tapas, and a fantastic selection of Wines. Small, but very cozy, and intimate.“
