“I’ve known this crew since their days at Perdition in Hell’s Kitchen, and walking into their new spot felt like no time had passed at all—in the best way possible.

From the moment you step inside, you can tell how much care and intention has gone into everything. The décor is clean and beautifully done, the drink and food menus are thoughtful and creative, and the prices are honestly more than reasonable for the quality you’re getting. It’s clear this is a place built with real passion. But what truly sets them apart is something you can’t fake—the genuine warmth. They’ve created that rare “locals welcome” atmosphere where everyone feels like a regular, whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth.

Seeing Scotty behind the bar again instantly brought me back, and catching up with Sean, his wife, and the rest of the crew made the night feel more like a reunion than just a night out. I laughed, tried some fantastic new drinks, and had great conversations—not just with the staff and loyal regulars, but also with folks who had stopped in before or after a nearby concert, which added such a fun, lively energy to the place.

This spot is an absolute gem. If you’re anywhere nearby—whether you’re heading to a show or just looking for a great night out—do yourself a favor and stop in. You’ll understand immediately why people keep coming back.

And honestly? The only downside is that they’re no longer in Hell’s Kitchen… because I’d be there all the time.“

There is only one truly Spanish - Spanish-owned and Spanish-prepared restaurant in Westchester. Anyone who is Spanish or has lived in Spain knows this.

Tentempie Madrid in Mamaroneck. 🫒

It is strictly a tapas place. Not a tapas bar, because there is no bar seating. They asked me over the phone if they needed to explain what a tapas place is. I answered that I had lived in Spain? Hoping that would satisfy her. I don’t think it did.

If you are craving tortilla, chorizos, aceitunas, gambas al ajillo and croquetas as you would have them for 800 years in Spain, pay them a visit.

There are rules.

Always make a reservation. They will turn you away even if the place looks empty. They have a plan. The place is small and I think it is only the owner up front most of the time. I called at 1pm. They open at 6pm.

The crowd was all non-Spaniards because I don’t think we have too many round these parts and they prob make these dishes at home blind folded. I am Colombian. Having been colonized by Spain made me the most Spanish person in the room besides the owner. 😬

It isn’t a young place to go get your flirt on. There is no vibe. That’s ok because I was there strictly for the tapas, cava and fino.

It is really cute though. There are fun and whimsical details throughout. I cannot believe that I forgot to take a bathroom pic. it was teeny, but adorably appointed.

The only thing that I had NEVER seen in Spain was the sidra served this way (Spanish bitter hard apple cider) served with seltzer, ice and fruit. When I gently inquired about it, he basically gave me a shrug that said… nobody here would drink it straight. He is probably right. I’ll have to travel to Asturias with my dinner companions to share that experience.

We didn’t try the whole menu. I named the dishes that we tried and I feel they nailed.

The prices were nostalgically affordable.

They are not on any “redes sociales” as per the person who took my res. Meaning, NO Instagram or FB for them. This place is like a time capsule from the early 90’s.

You will not feel like you are in Spain. You will definitely feel like you are in Mamaroneck, but if you close your eyes while taking a bite of chorizo and a sip of fino, you might get a waft of cigarettes and hear old men arguing about politics.

(Lastly… those other restaurants that you will argue are Spanish, but aren’t, ARE yummy.)

The gambas al ajillo! Our favorite tapa of the night. 🍤

“Food was delicious. My order was to go and it was nicely packaged and did I say delicious?“

“Everything is perfect there“

“Amazing drinks, the atmosphere is rustic, the food is different, delicious , fresh and tasty. The Owner and staff go above and beyond. If you’re in the area or a local this place is 100% recommended!!“

“The service was excellent,the food was good,but the appetizers were excellent.“

“This place is an amazing “Staycation”. Anna Maria runs an amazing experience. The vibe is awesome, everyone is super friendly. There’s a happiness energy that is contagious. Great wine and food selections. Santos is an extremely attentive waiter with great recommendations. It’s like Rye’s version of Cheers. The live band brings everyone together. Bravo Anna Maria.“

“We were three who visited The Meadows on a Friday afternoon in the summer. They were not busy at all. We chose to sit outside on their patio overlooking the golf course which was quite lovely until the bees and lantern flies became very annoying and aggressive. We then moved inside to their lovely dining room. The staff was very attentive and friendly and the food was very good. It would behoove them to try to get the bee situation under better control. Would recommend and we are surely to return.“

“Service was a little clunky. Food was delicious. Cocktails nice. Overall, a pleasant visit.“

“One of the best Ramen Bars I’ve ever been to. The flavors across the menu are unreal. The Spicy Miso Ramen w/ Pork Belly in particular was one of the best soup broths I’ve ever tasted. The service staff could not have been more friendly and courteous. The quaint setting and atmosphere lend themselves to almost feel like sitting at one big family style dinner table.“

“great ambient [Original] great ambient“

“What a great new local place! The atmosphere is a 10/10. Food 12/10. Owners 100/10! Great place and will return.“

“Been many times before and all experiences have been great. This past weekend, I had an issue with inattentive service, extremely salty food (the LillGriddle Sandwich), and not the best experience. Drinks were great, however, everything took way too long and the food didn't deliver.“

“I had the pleasure of attending Noma Social this past Sunday for their brunch, and I have to say it was an amazing experience. The comedy show was absolutely hilarious, keeping everyone in good spirits from start to finish. The musicwas equally superb, creating the perfect atmosphere to enjoy the meal and the vibe. I can’t wait to come back for another Sunday brunch! A huge shout-out to the bartenders and staff—they were incredibly attentive and made the experience even better. Their service was top-notch, and it’s clear they take pride in their work. And let me tell you, the DJ was on fire! The tunes were on point, and the energy in the room was infectious. I had such a great time that I came back Monday for Marlena’s lychee martini —which was incredible. It’s now a new favorite of mine! I’ll definitely be returning to Noma Social for more great times. Thank you to everyone at Noma for the fantastic hospitality and hard work. You’ve earned a loyal customer here!“
