The food here is so amazing from the menus and from their monthly specials. My husband loved the steaks and always brags about them. I love the drinks. The sangria red and white and the lemin drop martini. The drinks are always on point. Can't believe this place is sometimes not that busy. Staff are great and always have a smile. They need to do more promo on this place. Amazing food! read more

La Taberna Steak & Tapas Bar has become a go-to spot for me, and every visit has been consistently fun and memorable. The atmosphere is unlike your typical restaurant. It's lively, a little eclectic, and full of personality in the best way. The food matches that energy perfectly. The nachos and cheesesteaks are not just good, they're fun. Generous, flavorful, and perfect for sharing (or not, depending on how hungry you are). It's the kind of menu that doesn't take itself too seriously but still delivers exactly what you're hoping for. What really sets La Taberna apart, though, is everything happening beyond the plate. Live music, and other events give the place a vibrant, social feel. It's ideal for a fun date night or just getting together with friends and enjoying the moment. I've been there many times, and it never disappoints. If you want great food in a place that actually feels alive, this is the spot. read more

Came here for a weeknight dinner. Plenty of open tables. Simple decor. Staff were quick and very nice. Food was a winner here. The octopus was tender, perfectly cooked, tasty, and much larger than the usual small octopus portions you get at most restaurants. My skirt steak was also tender, juicy and flavorful. They had a surprisingly nice selection of draft beer, including local and international breweries. Would definitely go back here read more

While the menu is not as diverse as one would find in a tapas bar in Madrid or Barcelona, the food is authentic and the service is also solid. The inside of the restaurant was clean and pure Spain (right down to the tile). Highly recommended. read more

Before I begin my review, I must admit that I'm the worse at remembering to take pics before eating, so the pics are already after my party began to eat. So, for my review, this place is really good. I have only complaint and that is their crème brûlée; stay away from it. It's not the traditional tasting/texture. It's more of a Spanish style that I tasted in Spain. Anyways, paella and appetizers were really good. The grilled octopus melts in your mouth; it's so soft and easy to eat. The sangria was also perfect. The service is excellent even with a fairly busy time; waiters/busboys were very attentive. Ambiance was comfy; reminds me of a pub look. All-in-all, I highly recommend this place. read more

Nice and quaint atmosphere in my opinion. Gives me the feel at home vibes. Service was excellent and welcoming. No pretensions ... Non-judgmental. Their freshly baked roll for starters was the start. Steaks were cooked on point on a sizzling rectangular plate. Price ... spend $155 for all this food including pitcher of white sangria. Highly recommend this place. read more

I was back at my loc spot a few days ago and like always got great service and a good time. I was drinking margaritas all night as they were so good I couldn't stop. The bar was packed all night and the DJ was playing some great music. I always have a good time at this spot. read more

Good service, the food was pretty good, too. I was happily surprised with this place. There was a DJ playing in the bar area when I went on a weekend night. The decor was nicer than I expected for a small town spot. Seems like a good pick for a date night or dinner and drinks. Family friendly but nice enough for a night out with just adults. read more

Stopped by last week on a weeknight. Great service, good food, spotless and friendly. Will definitely try again. The sever was superb and didn't rush us and was super attentive. I am a local and want to see businesses in the area flourish but it must be hard due to the pandemic. Please try this place out if you haven't already and if you have get take out! Stop by! Support our locals. The sever even gave us extra bread to take home with our leftovers which was super thoughtful and generous. read more

We went for dinner on a Tuesday evening. We had tapas and ordered the Pulpo a la plancha, albóndigas and the tapas sampler. We also ordered a side of guacamole. All the food was well presented and prepared. The pulpo was outstanding and the guacamole was fresh and flavorful. I had a lycee martini which was delicious! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience here and recommend without reservation. read more

We came in on Mother's Day because my mother and aunt wanted to try a place we haven't been to before. We made reservations for 9 people around 5pm and had no problems being seated right away when we arrived. There was a live DJ by the bar on the left side of the restaurant and we sat in the dining area to the right. On Mother's Day, there were drink specials and a set menu. We ordered Sangrias, Calamari and the Spanish Tortilla to start. We also received a basket of bread and butter. I'm really a fan of their Sangria. The wine was strong enough that you could still taste it, but it didn't overpower the fruit. The Calamari was perfectly crispy and we really enjoyed the sauce that came with the Spanish Tortilla. I ordered the Sesame Tuna (medium rare) Entree, which came with Sautéed Spinach, Balsamic Vinegar and Mango Tequila Sauce. It was amazing. I usually don't get ANYTHING medium rare, but our waiter recommended it and I thank him for it. Both dipping sauces paired perfectly with the tuna in different ways. The Sautéed Spinach was the best I've had in a while. There was not a bit of food left on my plate! At the end of our dinner, our waiter gave not only gave my mother and aunt a rose, but also my sister, cousins, and I roses too because we're dog moms and we deserved one too. I loved that and was definitely appreciated! It was a great evening and everyone at our table enjoyed their meal. All 9 of us would recommend giving this place a try! I'm definitely coming back to try everything on the tapas menu! read more

The food is AWESOME! The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because the main dining room only had one waiter.

Came here for my mothers birthday because we live in the area and we always wondered how this place would be. The service was fantastic - our waiter Manuel gave us great food and beer recommendations and was incredibly attentive to us without hovering. Food was delicious, had the special black paella (black from squid ink), skirt steak, grilled octopus, steak tacos, and the Taberna combo. The Taberna combo and octopus were my parents favorite and everything was almost just as delicious. Would definitely recommend/return to this place read more

I like this place. The steak is yummy. The ambiance is OK. I want to go to some of their events. Conveniently located.

Bad service. Warm beer. Cold food. Long wait. Plus, they had the nerve to tell me cash only that night, because of a "computer problem."

Date night here was very nice. We started with crab cakes. OH EM GEE. Do not eat here without trying them! I was surprised since this wasn't a crab cake specialty place but they were awesome! We had drinks called coquitos(?) Which tastes like rumchata. A little too sweet for me. We ordered our meal- I had the salmon and my husband had the pork chops. My salmon was a little rubbery. I was sad about that. My husband's pork chops were so good! I would totally order the pork chops next time. They fell off the bone and had so much flavor. I believe it was an applesauce type coating on them. Our waiter was knowledgeable about the menu and always made sure we had everything we needed. The food came out relatively quickly. The ambiance here is wonderful. Perfect for a date night. It is very large inside and dimly lit. The light fixtures are beautiful. I will def be coming back to this neighborhood YUM spot. I will just order something that is not the salmon. read more

We went to La Taberna on Sunday after a late lunch for some drinks while watching the games.

When you live in a town, I feel like it's very common to overlook the restaurants in your own downtown area. That was the case for me, but I'm glad that one night my boyfriend pointed out the red and black building and said "let's eat there one day" lol We came on a Friday night and we were greeted by the hostesses once we walked in. We were able to sit anywhere that we wanted, so we chose a 2-person table in their dining room, which is to the right of their bar area. The waiter came quickly with water and brought us the drink menu, which had wines, and a smaller drink menu that had their cocktails and beers. What I loved about this restaurant is that there's a "cocktail of the week" - this week it was a mango martini. The cocktail of the week is $6, which is a great price. I ordered one of those and my boyfriend got a whiskey mixed drink on their menu. After looking at the menu, we ordered the arugula beet salad, chorizo, meatballs, and ham and cheese board. My least favorite was the meatballs - I thought they were too bread-y and tasted like meatloaf.. not the most impressive dish. The other three dishes were great! The chorizo came with a small salad that was delicious and spicy! Everything was presented so well, it made our meal feel even more special. For dessert, we ordered the homemade flan. It was delicious and very authentic! Lastly, the overall waitstaff was EXTREMELY attentive! They read our minds and knew to bring an extra table for our food because we ordered quite a few dishes. They asked us if we wanted additional drinks when we finished and constantly asked us if we were having a good time. That in itself is reason to come back. Thank you La Taberna for an amazing experience! read more

I really wanted to like this place. But I cannot be okay with ordering a $30-$40 steak and it not being cooked to the right temperature. I ordered medium rare. It came out on one of those sizzling plates. I wasn't expecting that. I asked that's not going to make it over cooked right? Right. Wrong. Not a touch of pink in my tbone. read more

Good food and friendly servers. They are a little pricey. We come here often and they never disappoint. They should offer Caldo Gallego though, it's a typical very tasty Spanish soup that hits the spot. read more

This is the sister restaraunt of Sayola in Tenafly (another fantastic place). This is romantic place to take a date for tapas and traditional Spanish fare. The sangria is the best, taken with their paella. We've had birthday parties there and they will accommodate any request like serving cakes from outside. Good service and good food. read more

Me and a friend came here a few weeks ago and couldn't be happier the food was good and the real shining spot here was the service. The waiter was attentive and very kind. Our food took a while which we didn't really notice but he did and kept apologizing he felt so bad he offered us a free drink and a free dessert. This is old school service you rarely see anymore, it was enough where we said we would come back just for that! read more
