Stacey BresslerAugust 21, 2012Everything Chef Harrison Mosher cooks is fabulous. Some favorites are Brussel sprouts, short ribs , calamari!
Lauren BroughtonJanuary 22, 2010The brussel sprouts can convert non-veggie eaters! And leave room for dessert - the apple tart was beautifully presented and delicious (though a small portion). Molten chocolate was nice too!
BiancaOctober 24, 2012Try to get a seat upstairs and definitely order the Brussels sprouts. The lamb meatballs were delicious too.
Rafi SyedAugust 7, 2014Get the whole shebang, add extra smoked mozzarella and extra sliders and you're good.
Diego RecondoOctober 12, 2014The so-called "paella" was very good, even if it has little to do with the real one
Denis SosnovtsevSeptember 15, 2012Food - everything is even better than it sounds. Cocktails - everything sounds amazing but is generic. Get a dessert.
Miss GoWhitelyApril 10, 2011Order as follows: Brussels sprouts, prosciutto wrapped dates/olives, gnocchi, bruschetta, tuna tartar, walk vegetable salad. Skirt steak > short ribs
Gordon MeiJune 4, 2014If you're feeling seafood, try the PEI mussels with its harissa lobster broth.
Rob PrattFebruary 28, 2014The seared wild mushrooms were better than the crispy brussels sprouts. Highly recommended.
Alicia BenjaminSeptember 17, 2011You'll hate yourself if you dine here and don't try their fried goat cheese with lavender-infused honey and their amazing Brussels sprouts.
Rebecah ReillyJanuary 28, 2016The banana s'mores dessert is one of the best desserts I've ever had. Epic.
Nikki 🌺February 2, 2011Order the Bacon wrapped dates, almond stuffed olives, lavender goat cheese, broccoli rabe, and Brussel sprouts. Heaven will explode in your mouth.
Joe OJune 21, 2015Worth a second trip, but maybe just to the bar. Get the wild boar belly, skip the asparagus
The lower two floors are great for lively crowd energy, but if you're in the mood for quiet or on a date, ask for the third floor.
Samantha RodríguezJanuary 20, 2016Bacon wrapped dates, paella, goat cheese balls, and Brussels sprouts! Don't get the scallops, super small portion and only okay
Wynoami GlasserFebruary 16, 2010The lamb meatballs over butternut squash purée will explode your brain. Best spinach dip I ever had loaded with garlic, smoked paprika and topped with poached egg.Tell Shawn Joe and Noami sent you.
W KJuly 4, 2012Order the meatballs--the sauce is ridic. And get the shortribs. So amazingly tendor and perfect with the pasta- Lamb meatballs and spaghetti pepperoncini are amazing. Amex / cash only though so be ready.
Jeffrey KaoNovember 17, 2014While the whole shebang sounds impressive (and it is), it's probably better to order individual dishes and savour the dishes.
If you can, get Jeremy as your waiter. He knows the menu well and made some great suggestions we would not have tried otherwise.
KevskiAugust 16, 2017Try something else if you're hungry. It's good but very small portions, and not worth the price tag. There are tons of other amazing places nearby...
Karen ZSeptember 23, 2012Brussels sprouts... Goooood. Mushroom pizza... Gooood. Friend goat cheese... Goood. Sea bass.... Gooood.
MariannaApril 7, 2010Linger over tapas in the upper alcove at Alta. Get brussel sprouts with apple and pistacio, lamb meatballs, PEI mussels, and the Torija for dessert -- sublime.
Ashley ChanJune 19, 2017Food was not bad, but it was unsettling that half the dishes were served within a minute of ordering. Romantic environment. I'd recommend the octopus and lamb meatballs, but probably wouldn't return.
Darian Symoné HarvinDecember 17, 2011Everyone one is mentioning the goat cheese and Brussels sprouts...I'd like to call attention to the lamb meatballs. Love em.
Pooja YabannavarFebruary 24, 2013Lamb meatballs, smoked mozzarella, brussels sprouts, octopus and fried goat cheese - yummm
Amanda AlbergoApril 6, 2010Best tapas in the city I've found so far. Brussels sprouts, spaghetti, pork empanadas, tuna tartare and cheese plates. Skip the gnoochi and dessert.
Neha NarulaMay 14, 2013Brussels sprouts are overrated. The couscous dish and the fried goat cheese balls were awesome.
Kevin BeattyJanuary 5, 2012Some of the best tapas in NYC. Bacon wrapped olives and dates are a must.
Public House WineAugust 12, 2014The whole shebang may cost $400 but it feeds 10. Splurge next time the parents are in town.
AlleycatSeptember 29, 2013This place is soooo good! Talk about a Spanish renaissance hidden gem of NYC
Constance ReardonOctober 21, 2011Great for a date night. Sangria is really good and all of the tapas are amazing!!

"A favorite cocktail bar, with great music and service. Great for a drink after work, or a “not-too-loud” Friday night. The bartenders are always on point with their drinks and suggestions."
John Agapitos - 8.5
"Great jazz soundtrack (and live jazz in Mondays), solid cocktails, and classy decor make this a great spot for a date or to catch up over a drink with friends."
Michael Preston - 8.4
"Most underrated brunch spot. You'll easily get a table 12-1. love the $5 champagne or breakfast negroni. Get Scottish eggs, waffle for the table and the kale salad (trust me on the salad)"
