    Sat at the bar at Reyna. Good music, sexy setting with an upscale European take. Cinzia, our bar tender from Italy is excellent and suggested great wines. ​"In vino veritas." ​Translation: "In wine, there is truth."

    Happy hour! Expresso martini and "Italian" fries

    Very cute place for dinner or happy hour (what I was there for). The bar food was very good and the bartenders excellent. My drink was strong and lovely. I will be back to try dinner!!

    Reyna is effortlessly chic with an ambiance that exudes elegance. I came here for an evening out with my girlfriends, and we had an amazing time. The service was exceptional--attentive and welcoming. We started with a selection of appetizers to share, and the standouts were definitely the mango and cauliflower croquettes, along with the Greek fries--perfectly crispy and well-seasoned. For my main, I chose the Lebanese tacos with falafel, which were delicious and full of flavor. My friends opted for the seafood paella, and it was a hit at the table--fresh and beautifully prepared. I would absolutely recommend Reyna for a sophisticated night out with friends. It's the perfect spot for great food, cocktails, and a gorgeous setting.

    SALMON TARTARE

    I went to Reyna with one of a friend for a Saturday night dinner The place is super vibe-y I love it! The interior decorations, the music, the drinks, it was all perfect to kick off a Saturday night. The large windows They have a large selection of non alcoholic drinks/dry drinks - I ordered the dry sparkling wine and it was delicious My friend and I both ordered the tacos, the croquettes and salmon tartare.

    Get the croquettes ! We didn't go wrong with anything we ordered. Just the octopus could have been more tender. But still very good The ambiance was great and the service was too. Drinks were too sugary - my friend ended up nauseous after the second drink and that's unlike him.

    Lamb baklava

    Another great meal at Reyna with Thaddeus as our server! Woman owned business conveniently located in Union Square. It had been a while since I was here the first time so I forgot how lovely the space is. Shared a bottle of white wine (the Milenrama is divine!) plus a bunch of bites. Everything was delicious and we wish we had room to share more! Started with lamb baklava (these are a MUST TRY!) and manchego cauliflower croquettes. We just continued to order and share more food while we enjoyed the wine. The crispy artichokes and Reyna salad are both delicious and great portions. The Labneh with Za'atar comes with pita and veggies. There were Ricotta Fritters on tonight's dessert menu. 3 pieces and there were 3 of us, perfect! They were fluffy and delicious and tasted quite indulgent. So glad that we went with these!

    Lamb Baklava. $9. Small but rich. Perhaps a bit sweet but unique and tasty

    Originally located in Toronto, Reyna is a nice Mediterranean restaurant which I went to a good while ago with a group. They are more popular for brunch but we went there for dinner. The staff was friendly and gave good recommendations and knew the menu well such as allergies for one of the other people and gave drink recommendations. I believe there was a red sangria special or something similar which someone else drunk which they enjoyed. In terms of food, the menu is smaller than many other similar spots such as Zaytinya or Ilili for instance but I would say that the food quality is a bit more consistent but doesn't reach their peaks. From the Reyna Gems section, I ordered one of the Lamb Baklava which is probably their most famous dish for $9 with kataifi, braised lamb shank, burnt honey saffron aioli, and pistachio. The closest thing I could compare this would be the Moroccan B'stilla/(or pastilla) due to the the mix of sweetness and savoriness outside of it being pistachios and it being a bit less spiced. The dish as expected for the price wasn't the largest but it was pretty tasty. Possibly a bit sweet due to the honey but the earthy nuttiness from the pistachio helped. It's rich enough to share as well even with the small portion. From the fries section, someone else ordered the Arabic Fries for $12 which were za'atar spiced with date ketchup which had a slight sourness from the spice though the ketchup didn't taste too unique outside of the sweetness but they were good shoestring fries in terms of texture. My main dish was the Muhammara Filet with black angus filet, muhammara, gremolata, and veal jus which is available either for 6 oz for $44 or 12 oz for $86. The steak had a nice presentation being pre sliced and topped with said gremolata while the muhammara or red pepper walnut dip was on the bottom. The steak had more of a chew than I expected with some brightness from the gremolata and a bit of earthiness from the muhammara. If the steak was better, it would be excellent but it was still good. Another person ordered the Lebanese Tacos which they liked. This was a tasty spot. It's not the most notable Mediterranean place but the flavors are accurate for the price point and there is just enough creativity without being too much. Low 4.

    Reyna is that girl. From the moment you walk in, you feel like you've been transported to the bougiest Mediterranean vacation. The space is stunning, elevated, and vibe-heavy. Perfect for girls' night, date night, or happy hour with your favorite people. I visited during Summer 2025 Restaurant Week for dinner. My group had the option to order from the RW prix fixe or the full menu. The food was flavorful from start to finish. I started with the lamb baklava--tender, perfectly spiced, and a generous portion for one. For the main, I had the Piri Piri Roast Chicken with the Arabic fritters. The chicken was juicy and well-seasoned, but the fritters stole the show. Shoutout to our waiter for the recommendation. Dessert was the dreamiest finale: olive oil cake that was somehow light, rich, and memorable all at once. Every dish was plated beautifully and tasted even better. Cocktails weren't included in the Restaurant Week deal, but their happy hour runs Tuesday to Sunday from 4 to 6 PM. I missed it, but still enjoyed one of their creative cocktails. Definitely worth it. They also offer wine and mocktails, and the bar setup is a whole moment on its own. The service was so warm, welcoming, and unrushed. Our waiter was incredibly knowledgeable and shared that an episode of "And Just Like That..." (the Sex and the City reboot) was filmed here, which totally makes sense. Reyna is just that fabulous. Reyna isn't just a one-time visit. It's a whole era. I'll definitely be back.

    BAKLAVA FRENCH TOAST
    Ayana A.

    If you want a yummy brunch with cute aesthetics, Reyna is a great spot. The food and mocktails are delicious. I had the Baklava French Toast which was filling for just one person. It is part of the brunch menu on the Brunch Bites section. The mix of the pistachio and sauces added sweetness and crunch. Definitely a 8.5/10 for me. I also had the Virtue Sans Vice Sangria. You get all the hints of passionfruit and vanilla with fizz. They also added fresh strawberries and blueberries in the drink. 10/10 recommend. Super friendly staff that is attentive and great service. I would love to go back for happy hour.

    Ambiance

    If you find yourself needing to make a last minute reservation for a weekend brunch with friends, then reyna is the place. The ambiance is amazing and very picturesque. The service seems decent enough. Unfortunately the food left a lot to be desired. There was just nothing really great on the brunch menu. I had the short rib grilled cheese which lacked both meat AND cheese relative to the bread. I was told it would be a heavier meal but I felt kinda hungry afterwards.

    Kelsey A.

    Great spot! The ambiance is adorable- pink and lush and girly! It's perfect for a girls night, which is what brought me in. Definitely take advantage of their amazing happy hour! The martini and spicy margarita were both great. The fries were a big hit, especially the Arabic fries. The tuna tartare was also great. The staff was very high energy, friendly, and attentive.

    Melody R.

    One of the best meals we had in the city on this trip. I just love the small plate concept, we've had about 6 dishes total. Our server was amazing, so many great recommendations! It was a busy night and she kept up with all her tables pretty well. The dim lights, high ceiling and chandeliers were perfect for our anniversary dinner. I'm sure we'll keep this in the rotation! And please, order some cocktails! 10/10

    Reyna in New York, NY. This Mediterranean Tapas Restaurant and Cocktail Bar is a hidden gem! Reyna is a stunning restaurant with a gorgeous bar. The food was so fresh and I LOVED the Reyna Paella-the rice was not soggy at all and the seafood was cooked perfectly! Make sure to check out LIQUID THERAPY HAPPY HOUR-half price select wines, $10 cocktails and half price speciality fries.

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.

    Serious attitude here. The cocktails were very tasty but the service and vibe were so off-putting,…read moreI will never go back. I made a reservation in person more than 24 hours in advance. I wanted to treat an old friend to a quick birthday toast before a show she was attending nearby. Later that night, another friend became available to join but, because they do not actually have a phone that takes calls (only offers an announcement to go to Resy or email) adding another person was not at all easy. I would have had to cancel and rebook and wasn't sure I'd be able to (reservation was for a Saturday night) In most places, a table for 3 easily accommodates 4. But not here. When two of us arrived, they made it clear this was a big problem. I would have walked out right then but I would have been charged $90! We decided to stay and make the best of it, which was a challenge. For a speakeasy, the vibe was aggressive, not relaxing. Very loud music and not great acoustics.) Too cramped to be comfortable, proving that small does not necessarily mean cozy! We asked if we could take a chair from the table next to us, which was empty (it was only 6 pm; I told our server we'd be gone by 7 because my friend, the birthday girl, had to catch a show.) We were told No! To say the waiter was cold, unfriendly, and indifferent is generous. He was totally rude. He literally told my friend she couldn't sit in a chair that was otherwise empty, knowing we'd be leaving momentarily. Then he had the gail to hand me the bill with a 22% tip pre-selected...and watched over me while I signed it! Definitely the least satisfying $100 I have ever spent. Disappointing. It was good to see my friends, but I so wish I hadn't picked this place. Never again.
