    My friend and I walked passed this place and decided to try it out. Turns out we went at a great time as they have happy hour from 5-7pm! The HH also included some food! This visit was also during Thanksgiving weekend when Williamsburg emptied out and we received very attentive service. The interior is classic European bistro with proper mood lighting (gently dimmed). The food was fresh, tasty, and paired well with their house wine. We ordered a couple of snacks from the HH menu so I cannot speak for the main menu tapas selection.

    Patatas bravas
    Nam H.

    Honestly was pretty disappointing. The food is overpriced and the portions are tiny when they really don't need to be. For $22, they give you 3 small pieces of shrimp, which didn't taste fresh and were overcooked as well. Patatas bravas was also pretty mid, and if you're insane enough to splurge for the Iberico Jamon, for $50 USD you get a whopping 4 pieces. Straight robbery. I wish restaurants would have some self respect. If you're going to charge hefty prices, try and make it worth it for the customer.

    I'm so sad to give only 3 stars to this place but the food was so underwhelming. I came during happy hour and got the pan con tomate (probably the best bite out of everything we ordered), patatas bravas (decent), tortilla de patatas (bad and $8 for a small piece when you can make a whole tortilla at home for half of the price) and croquetas de bacalao (very dry, they definitely need more bechamel). Also this last ones are not in the HH menu. I would say the best deal is the wine.

    Pulpo Con Caper Chimichurri

    Had a Friday evening reservation for two and live around the area. I enjoyed some dishes more than others and some dishes felt pricey for what you get, but overall I think this is a nice addition to the neighborhood. Ambiance / service: casual rustic Spanish vibes. I think all the seating is on high tops. Front wall retracts which is nice in the summer. Would be great for a date night, happy hour with friends, or just a casual dinner, especially if you live around the area. Service was friendly and didn't feel rushed, but it was a bit scattered. Server didn't inform us upfront several items were sold out until we tried to order them, couldn't give us an answer when we asked how many dishes she recommended we get, etc. Food: it's tapas, so some items are quite small in size. Would recommend ordering at least 2+ portions for some of them if dining with more than 2-3 people. I ordered 8-9 dishes (some were duplicates and some very small portions) for 2 people and it was the right amount of food. -Pan Con Tomate: got it with the jamon. Comes with 4 square slices. Best thing we got. Crunchy bread, super flavorful. We ended up ordering 2 servings! -Patatas Bravas: standard. But good if you're in a potato mood. -Croquetes: comes with 2. Enjoyed. -Burrata Con Squash Blossom: I do not recommend. Something was off about this dish and we only took a bit and couldn't finish it. In theory it sounded delish but the flavors were VERY off. -Pulpo Con Caper Chimichurri: I really enjoyed this. Octopus is cut up already. Portion is a bit bigger. -Scallops: comes with 4. This was good, but price seems high because the scallops were quite small. Enjoyed the octopus much more. -Quesos. We ordered two different variety of cheeses. The cheese was delicious, but this also didn't seem worth the price. $7 isn't very expensive, but it comes with two very small slivers of cheese and no bread or even a cracker.

    Has the vibes of a cute tapas place in Spain, but with Williamsburg pricing of course. Good variety of tapas and vermouth/wine, the overall menu leans a bit more seafood heavy but has a good selection of most of the popular Spanish tapas (patatas bravas, croquettes etc). Food was okay but not the best. The patatas bravas have the sauce on the side and they are a little saltier than I am used too, and potatoes a bit less crispy. The pork was a little bit on the drier side, but the raisin glaze on top was pretty good. The two seafood dishes were probably my favorites. The shrimp was nicely made and tasted delicious and the calamari, while a little cool, was still nice and crispy and had great flavor. Service feels a bit rushed, particularly by the bussers, our server was great. We kept getting asked if we were done with dishes (we had a full prawn still on one of the plates). A little too eager to clear the plates.

    Barserri is a nice space to catch up with your friends or have an intimate evening with a date. Came during happy hour on an early Friday evening. It's cute, I enjoyed the house red. Service was pretty quick and super nice. I'd love to come back for dinner.

    All fire, the beef dishes were probably the worst low key-- still good but the seafood tapas were superior. All sauces were kinda salty but I'm also hella sensitive to salt in general.

    Prawns
    Carolina S.

    Loved the small tapas and the unexpectedly good selection of Spanish wines. I must admit, I was never a fan of Spanish wines but this place really changed my mind, can't wait to try more varietals next time The service was amazing as well, very friendly and easy going, not too pushy but not absent as well. But the ambiance must be my favorite thing, I looove the interior design and the attention to details, you can tell they really care It's magical to experience what a well thought out space can do to you, I felt being transported in Spain Overall exceptional, can't wait to visit them soon with my friends

    Steak with confit shiitakes

    Bar Baserri is a true neighborhood gem. A warm, Basque-inspired pintxo bar with a wine list that clearly knows what it's doing. Thoughtful Spanish pours, proper vermut, and small plates that are simple, intentional, and craveable. The space feels intimate but lively--perfect for a casual glass or a long night at the bar. Unpretentious, soulful, and quietly excellent. Exactly the kind of place you want to keep coming back to.

    Seat by the front

    Really yummy selection of tapas with delicious wine! I especially enjoyed the scallops & patatas bravas. My boyfriend and I were constantly checked on and they always made sure to refill our water which was a nice touch! The service is phenomenal and the servers are all super helpful, available, and approachable :). We were seated near the front so we got a lot of fresh air which was nice. I think all the seating options in the bar look ideal. Will be returning

    The pan con tomate with jamón ibérico was outstanding--honestly as good as, if not better than what I've had in Spain. Perfect bread, spot-on tomato, and excellent jamón that wasn't fatty at all. The pulpo with caper chimichurri was cooked perfectly, beautifully balanced, and served with delicious little potatoes. The steak with mushrooms was tender and cooked to perfection, and the tortilla de patatas was unexpectedly comforting and delicious. We also had the bacalao croquettes and scallops, so good! My kid had the French toast. It was beautiful and amazing--thick, topped with cream and strawberries. He loved it! We had churros with salted caramel sauce for desert. They were incredible, served in a fun twisted, cinnamon-roll style. The space itself is stunning, with gorgeous tile work and thoughtful details that truly feel like a tapas bar in Spain. Everything was spotless, and the service was phenomenal--friendly, attentive, and polished.

    Best Scallop I ever have. The rich flavor with bit of spice and refreshing sourness is just on point.
    Seryung H.

    The experience in this restaurant was amazing. Staff was so nice, well educated about the food that they are serving. All the food was very rich, flavorful. I recommend scallops and seafood rice. Also, scallop was so soft inside but crispy outside. Liked the texture so much. I ordered another plate to take back home.. and even after a day, still fresh and rich flavor. The mood was on spot as well dimmed, soft music. Vibe for nice wine and dinner.

    Great Spanish restaurant from one of the alums of Michelin-starred Casa Mono. If you want some jambon, a glass of wine, a small plate, sit at the bar and chill, or come with a date, this is the place for you. All the plates we tried were delicous. Service was tight, on par. Recommended highly, there's not a place quite like this in the neighborhood.

    So so bad. Horrendous. Insanely expensive, and horribly managed. Avoid at all costs. This place will close soon.

    Wow East Village! You have yourself a gem with Rake Wine Bar! We were waiting for our dinner…read morereservations and decided to stop in here for a pre-dinner drink and bite. I am SO glad we did. The vibe drew us in, they had great music bumpin from the outside, it looked lively and welcoming. Let me tell you- I would have skipped dinner and just stayed here all evening if it was my choice! But alas, my husband wanted a bit more to eat. But let me tell you- their knowledge of wine is PRISTINE! I can't tell you what white wine we had but they captured our tastes perfectly. We also shared a bruschetta and it was deliciouso! I love how friendly the staff was here and how unpretentious it all was. Next time we are in NYC- we will definitely make a point to come visit Rake!

    My partner and I were looking for a great double date spot, so we decided to give Rake a try due to…read moreits relaxing vibe and multitude of bites we could share. First I'll start with the wine - we ended up trying all three happy hour wines (HH until 7), which the tables favorites were the white and we ended up getting a bottle to split once HH ended (but I really enjoyed the other vino verde option). It was incredibly refreshing and paired well with the many tinned fish options. As you'd expect - it's a pretty massive selection and there is bound to be a varietal and glass for any palate. It's also attached to a wine store - so it's fine to see all the bottles when peaking over. Food-wise - this is where it was hit or miss, they have a pretty extensive menu (with a whole tinned fish section!) and we ended up ordering the buratta on focaccia (buratta was excellent, focaccia was too dense for my tastes), mushroom truffle crostini (way too salty), the flatbread with sliced kielbasa (was fine), halloume (table favorite ), tinned sardines in lemon oil (delicious), tinned smoked trout (my favorite). Overall the four of us were very full at the end of the meal! The space itself felt very relaxing and rustic, and definitely got busier as the night went on (we got there at 6:50 and left around 9). The service was also fast and attentive - even for the amount of tables they were serving. Overall - I'd definitely go back again, and maybe just focus on the wine and another tinned fish selection!

But the best thing we had by far was the dak mandu, the crab/chicken dumplings. Those alone are worth coming back for. The ssam lettuce wraps were good, though they read a little more like Jewish brisket with a spicy bean sauce than what I expected from a Korean lettuce wrap. Still tasty, just a different vibe. Honestly, this would've been a 5-star meal if I didn't leave with three mosquito bites. Great food, great service, great wine -- just maybe bring bug spray.

The bar is very scenic so you will definitely feel like you are getting the full dining experience. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Make reservations for peak dining times in the evenings and on weekends. Many people walked in without reservations and were seated right away on Saturday evenings. Highly recommend trying their original cocktails ($18). We tried the flower child and the harvest moon. Both were tasty. I would get harvest moon again and again. Perfect balance of Tart, sweet refreshing and strong. Menu items change seasonally so it's delightful to try something new every time you visit. $21 potato croquettes were highly disappointing. Everyone recommended them highly, but I could not understand why. For such price, three tiny balls of fried potato should've been mind blowing, but they were underwhelming and forgettable at best. Skip. $24 giant ricotta stuffed raviolo was delightful. Such soothing comfort food. If I could eat just this, I would be happy. $26 fresh crudo was refreshing and light. Delicious cold broth/juice soup in which it was served. $32 Bronzino with mussels in a broth was superb. Light, crispy, and delicate. Would eat this dish for dinner Any night of the day. Balanced flavor profile. Could suit anyone who is picky about their food. $30 lamb neck was a solid dish. Perfectly crunchy on the outside and delicate and flavorful on the inside. Wish the portion was a bit bigger, especially the sides. $38 duck confit was highly advertised, however, it was underwhelming and the least stand out dish. It was solid, but nothing that I would order again or recommend. The duck was on the dry side. Definitely not enough sauce. The cabbage and the cabbage salad were good. Crispy and refreshing. The duck was not the star of this dish. $13 chocolate mousse with strawberry coulis was surprisingly delightful. So light and balanced. Not sweet, but just right to finish a meal. I could eat this dessert every day after every single meal. So simple, yet it hit the spot. Service is very fast and efficient. One of our readers was superb and provided stellar recommendations. Another waiter (young and inexperienced) was very shy and his energy felt very stifling.

My date and I sat at the bar for TWENTY MINUTES before she even acknowledged us or asked if we wanted drinks. I literally had to call out "Excuse me" just to order a $25 quarter-filled glass of wine.
