    Came here for their restaurant week with a group os 7. It was a fixed menu of shared dishes, with a group of 7, we had two and a half dishes per course. The service was fast and efficient, we were taken care of by multiple people who had each course coming out at the same time. Overall the sliced watermelon appetizer and flatbread were my favorites. The atmosphere was a bit dark in the evening hours but the table top lamps were a good addition.

    What a lovely cute place! Tucked away in the east side, this place was a good distance away from tourist spots and yet provided a real great vibe for drinking, bonding, and eating in a night life setting. They had many selections of drinks but as a big party, we opted to have the restaurant week menu. We liked it a lot. There are 7 different tapas to share amongst the table. We had a chorizo, a salad, watermelon carpaccio, prosciutto flatbread, meatballs and fish. The fish and meatballs were by far my favorite and I wish there were more given! There was so much flavor in each and had I been able to, I'd order an entire dish of it! We ended with a chef selection dessert which was bread pudding. I'm typically not a fan of bread pudding but it was overall good. If you're in the area, give this place a try! Service and bar are both great.

    The food here was decent, but unfortunately, the service--specifically from the manager, Jonny--left a lot to be desired. He was curt, dismissive, and downright demeaning, which completely soured our experience. Our party had a 9:00 PM reservation. One of us arrived at 8:58 PM, and the rest at 9:01 PM. When we checked in, the bartender informed us that our table wasn't ready. After waiting about eight minutes, we politely asked to speak with the manager. I simply asked Jonny if our table was ready, and he said they were waiting for a party to finish. When I asked how much longer it would be and if he could gently nudge the table, he snapped at me, saying, "You were late." I corrected him, but he insisted we arrived at 9:07 PM, which was simply untrue. I even invited him to verify our arrival time with the bartender, security cameras, or our own text timestamps, but he had no interest in being reasonable. In the end, we weren't seated until 9:20 PM. This kind of poor customer service really put a damper on the evening. While the food itself was decent--the eggplant was good (though the cheese on top was ice cold), and the gnocchi was tasty--the zucchini flatbread wasn't great, with cheese that was hard and clumpy. The veggie wings were tasty but could have used a bit more sauce. The Brussels sprouts were fine. It also took a while to place our order. On a positive note, the bus staff was fantastic, ensuring we were finished before clearing plates, and the bartender and other servers were friendly and professional. Unfortunately, Jonny's attitude overshadowed it all, making this one of the worst service experiences I've had in a long time. A manager should enhance a restaurant experience, not ruin it.

    I recommend Plado, this would be a nice location for an afternoon lunch, which is exactly we did. To our surprise it wasn't many people inside the restaurant so it was pretty quiet where we sat, but they also offer outdoor seating. This is a tapas restaurant so it was recommended you order 2-3 plates per person if you are hungry and want to feel full. (which I agree with) I would consider this to be a pricy as one plate could be $30 a piece, and it's not much food you're getting. However the justification is the quality of the food, so I would keep that in mind if you do come here. The presentation was there as everything we ordered looked appetizing and the taste aligned with this as we cleaned our plates completely. For two of us, we ordered the truffle fries, the charred octopus, and the seared scallops. We had eaten light bites at a previous event which is while that was sufficient, but otherwise we would've needed to order more food. I did like their happy hour deals and I thought that the hours they offered were great and not very common. I'm not sure how much the restaurant advertises this deal, but in case they don't I would recommend it considering many people weren't there on a Saturday afternoon. So even if this is more costly than you would intend, I say come during that time because the food was delicious.

    Service was a bit slow. The space is tiny, so be prepared to either make reservations, wait a while for a table to free up, or come during off peak dinning hours. Indoors can sit maybe 10-15 people max. Very cramped. You'll be very close and personal with your neighbors. Outdoors has only two tiny tables. Not a place for big groups. More of an intimate date kind of spot. Dimmed lighting. I was struggling to take photos of the beautiful plates. Casual vibe that somehow feels understated in the best kinds of ways. Good place for a solitary meal. Or a drink, contemplating the mysteries of the universe. Taking a star off for lack of AC on the hottest summer day imaginable. I thought I'd have a stroke, and I'm someone who deals with extreme heat very well. Zero fan or AC or air circulation. I was sweating profusely, trying to survive the heat, gulping lukewarm water to no avail. What a struggle. The most brutal peak of Summer is not the time to open the front door into the sauce that is the boiling NYC and skimp on the AC. The food was superb. Everything we tried was fantastic. Would return to try the rest of the menu and repeat some of the dishes we had, mainly the seafood & chorizo paella, the short rib, the octopus, the lamb chops, the soft shell crab, and the scallops. Flavors were bright, bursting in your mouth. I got true joy out of every bite. Every ingredient was given justice with careful preparation. Every ingredient tasted fresh and at its prime. You're paying a pretty penny for the quality of the food. Worth a splurge! Treat yourself!

    My friend and I came here for restaurant week because the concept of Mediterranean tapas sounded super delicious. This is a small neighborhood restaurant in Alphabet City. Inside seating is intimate and open, while there are also tables outside by the sidewalk. Kitchen is open and you can see the chefs working their magic which is cool. We started w a first course of fried brussel sprouts - a dish that was just OK. They came with a sauce on top that was yummy but kinda forgettable, id rather have shaved parm on top. Second plate was watermelon carpaccio style salad which was an amazing concept, I would have liked bigger saltier chunks of feta on this and more seasoning. We continued sipping on our aperol spritz and red sangria which were on point and made very well. Service was extremely slow. The entire meal took about 2 hrs 45 min which was excessive for a few small plates. I also really really loved the gnocchi in the mushroom truffle sauce. That dish was delicious and redeemed the dinner in my opinion. I understand this is a tapas restaurant but we left feeling still kind of hungry between the two of us. Flatbread w burrata was the only decent portion - it was cheesy and an appropriate amount for two to share. Paprika shrimp was tasty but the amount of pepper was almost excessive and it lacked other flavor notes. Meatballs were tender and delicious but the minuscule portion left us yearning for more. Dessert was bread pudding - another very small portion for 2, and excessively orange notes which I did not particularly enjoy. I think this restaurant definitely has potential and is doing some things right. I do think they can make some improvements in food and service, hence my 3-star review.

    Crispy Baby Artichokes

    Was looking for a tapas spot spontaneously a few hours before dinner, and glad we found this one with availability! The taro truffle gnocchi is a must. I couldn't have too much of it because of how dense it is but the portion we got was perfect. The short rib was also very tender and the vegetables paired well The crispy artichoke was abit disappointing. Not a lot of flavor. Same with the zucchini croquettes. The perfect pear cocktail was light and refreshing.

    I came here on a weekday evening for dinner, we sat outside since the weather was quite nice. We ordered the crispy baby artichoke, burrata flatbread, angus beef carpaccio, and taro gnocchi. I enjoyed the aioli on the artichokes. I thought the burrata flatbread felt a bit lacking in flavor, or I wished the flatbread was a bit more fluffy or crisp, but it ended up being neither of those. The carpaccio felt more like tartare, as the meat was pretty finely diced, and it came with only four zucchini chips, which was definitely not enough to finish the tartare. You could really taste the lemon in the dish. The taro gnocchi was definitely the standout dish, it was creamy with hints of truffle without being overpowering. The toasted breadcrumbs were also a really nice touch and added some more textural elements. The service was a tad bit slow, but otherwise I thought this was a fun spot to catch up with a friend over tapas.

    The ambiance of this restaurant is cute. Small and quaint and the service is really good. I ordered the percisco salad which was really tasty and my friend ordered the pappardelle pasta which I tried which was tasty as well. The only thing that was a little disappointing was the price for the portion sizes. What we ordered was pretty small esp the pasta. There really wasn't a lot of pasta with the sauce. We would have liked more. My friend ordered scallops and they were only 3. Again it's really good, but really small portions. Other than that everything tasted delicious.

    The Ambiance was really nice and on a wed evening we had the entire downstairs area to our group of 12. We loved the taro gnocchi (puffy), duck (smoked) and short ribs (tender). I liked how the bathroom played some Duolingo for you to learn another language while on the toilet. It felt a bit like you were transported. I liked how attentive the servers were and the host allowed me to charge my phone with them. The total cost was $776 with a credit card and we had 12 people so $76 post tap and tip.

    My friend found this place during his search of restaurants participating in restaurant week! We ended up not doing the restaurant week menu but still got a good array of small plates! The waiter was super friendly. He recommended 2-3 plates per person. We ended up getting a total of 6 for 3 people. The Summer peach was very interesting. I was expecting it to be sweet but it was more savory. The burrata crostone was amazing. I would get it again! The waiter told us to skip the flatbread which I appreciated because I always end up ordering a flatbread. The octopus was ok. The short ribs was pretty good and the spaghetti was fresh but I was expecting it to have more of a lime taste to it. The donuts were good too! I would come again to try the other small plates!

    Buratta Flatbread and Baked Oysters

    This place had such a large menu with tons of amazing choices. An adorable vibe inside that's perfect for catching up with friends or for a date. I especially loved the taro gnocchi and the cauliflower wings. I'd definitely come back here to try some more.

Our friends raved about this place and we of course were excited (and a bit skeptical at first) to try it. The concept: no menu + no lights + a few questions = the ultimate cocktail experience. The speakeasy vibe and the dark ambiance really makes this place feel even more exclusive. With just a few tables and the bar setting, you're in for an experience you won't forget (unless you answer the wrong questions and really end up with a drink you don't like HA). This wasn't my case. Of course I described my two favorite things: Negroni + mezcal. The obvious answer would be a mezcal Negroni, but that's not why one comes to a place like Attaboy. Our amazing curator came by to ask us all a few questions, write down a few words in the napkins, and mix up the perfect drink that our master bartender crafts, curates and creates. My drink came as I couldn't possibly imagine. It looked like a Negroni smelled like Oaxaca, with all the smoke simmering up and preparing my sensory experience, leading to the best first sip. Ladies and gentleman, I introduce you to The Devil's Backbone. A perfectly balanced drink I'll never forget, one that is sipped slowly and enjoyed thoroughly. It's sexy, it's smoky it's sipped.

Tucked into the Financial District, this spot blends old New York history with some of the best cocktails in the city--and it's easy to see why it's been named "World's Best Bar" more than once. The name itself has a wild backstory, inspired by a notorious 19th-century Irish-American gang from Five Points. It adds a layer of character to the place, but what really keeps people coming back is the atmosphere and the drinks. The space is split into two levels: a two lively, sawdust-floored Taprooms downstairs and a more refined Parlor upstairs if you're in the mood for a quieter, cocktail-focused experience. Drinks are the real highlight here. The Irish Coffee is widely considered one of the best in the world--rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced with whiskey, coffee, and fresh cream. They also get creative with variations like a frozen version and even an Irish Coffee martini. If you want something different, the "Act Naturally" is a standout, mixing Irish whiskey with Guinness and fig in a way that works. Food is just as impressive for a bar. The lobster deviled eggs (topped with caviar) are a must-try, and the menu leans into elevated comfort food. Overall, The Dead Rabbit nails the balance between historic charm and modern cocktail excellence. The D.R. is one of those places that is never boring and consistently delivers.

Mood lighting, comfortable seating, great drinks in a cozy and Victorian-inspired space are the perfect blend of unique and. I always felt like I was part of something special the few times enjoyed creative, delicious, and strong libations from the pros at the bar. While it has always been pricey, I do feel like the excellent service ambiance, and drink quality warrant this, but may prevent more folks from becoming regulars so to speak.

I could tell you to look for the blue beaker sign that says "Chemist" but the better tell is the random guy sitting on a stool outside. He'll be the only person on the street, so no worries about missing him! The menu has changed over the years, but the quality has not. The bartenders are social and personable. And the prices are in line for the area. My bestie and I loved the vibe. One of the best speakeasies she's had the pleasure of experiencing. Don't miss out on this place!
