A wonderful brunch experience at Reyna last Saturday. 2/20. I met up with two of my friends from out of town and they were so impressed with the food and service. I lovedddd the salmon board, a great variety of items on the board. They did charge me $6 for additional bread(they only give you two pieces). My friends really enjoyed the short rib grilled cheese and the Benny. Loveeee the mimosa set up. Love the look & that I can create my own. Such a cute vibe overall and the service was excellent, even the host was super friendly and welcoming. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

I'd say this is one of those vibe over food quality type of places. Don't get me wrong I mean the food is above average but it's not like I was blown away. Definitely great date night or girls night out vibes with the decor, the presentation, the drinks, etc. Service if great and matches the vibe the place gives off. Friendly staff. For someone reading this and considering it for a first date spot, I approve. (I know it can be hard. Got hit with a "you decide"? Come here) read more

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. read more

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. read more

Overall: I went here on a Friday night with some friends. It's a nice place for tapas style eating - easy to get into with good food and fun drinks. Aside from the small fire (quickly put out) and the slightly empty dining room, this place was a hit. I'd definitely go back for the food again. Food: 4 Drink: 5 Service: 4 Value: 3 Atmosphere: 3 Food: We ordered an assortment of things off of the menu: falafel bites, green chickpea hummus, wagyu sliders, hanging piri piri roast chicken skewer, chargrilled octopus, and the Spanish frites. I thought most of the dishes were excellent, especially the piri piri chicken, octopus, and Spanish frites. I thought the falafel and sliders were just ok, I probably would avoid those and try a few of the other things on the menu. Some of the larger paella or shawarma dishes also looked interesting with a large group. Drink: The cocktail menu was great, if pricey. I got the $25 'Bored in Buckingham'. This was a whiskey based drink that was served tableside with torched rosemary. It was a bit of a show and a tasty drink. Service: Our server was helpful without being overbearing. He also personally made several of the drinks in front of us. It was a nice touch. Value: After drinks, tax, and tip, this ended up being ~$100 per person. Everything was very tasty and the cocktails were a show, but it was still expensive considering the amount of food we got. I'd go again, but its for a nice night out, not an average meal. Atmosphere: The place felt upscale overall, with fancy looking decorations and lighting. It was weirdly a bit empty for a Friday night - we had no issues getting a reservation and half the restaurant was open tables. The staff did manage to set some of the decorations on fire while doing a demonstration of one of the cocktails. They dealt with it quickly but the place had an unpleasant smell for a bit. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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.

Ambiance is lovely, such cute decor. Food was amazing. I loved lamb and I love baklava so I had to try the lamb baklava, it's delicious, and different. And perfectly sized to not be overwhelming. I then ordered the shawarma platter with my date along with the chicken tacos and EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING. The French pornstar drink was amazing. Wasn't a huge fan of the hummus, I prefer a traditional hummus. Anyway I digress, Kiss the chef! read more

Great ambience. Certain food items are tasty (e.g cauliflower and manchego croquettes and lamb baklava), however, the seafood items fell flat. Would advise against the seafood platter for two. The oysters were not fresh and the rest of the items are uninspired, except for the scallop ceviche which was not bad. Also had happy hour oysters which were similarly not fresh. There is a wide selection of shoestring fries with different toppings, which are ok. The hanging scallop skewers were also ok. All in all, would avoid against the seafood. Service is a bit slow. 2.5 stars rounded up to 3 for good ambience. read more

Great ambiance but food is meh and on the lighter side. The interior design and ambiance is definitely great for couples or groups. But the food is quite light. I had the Reyna's Croque Madame from the brunch mains sections. It was literally one slide of bread, some smoked salmons, a poached egg with some garnish, and a bunch of salad around it. I think all the ingredients work really well but it was just a really light dish that will still leave you hungry afterwards. read more

Bottomless Aperol spritz and mimosas in fancy delicate glass canteens is one of the reasons why I chose this place. Something special for a reunion with my dear school friends. Also this was one of the few hidden bottomless brunch places without the line out the door. There were unique brunch items such as the pistachio French toast, other Mediterranean twists on your usual favorites breakfast items. But my focus was on the drinks. I did opt out of the bottomless brunch ideas because the cocktails here were unique in name, presentation and taste. Service and attention to detail was good. Very cozy ambiance and great speakeasy volume. So good, we were glad our reunion here lasted 4 great extended hours of great friends, tasty food and delicious libations. read more

I'm literally drooling as I write this review... it was the THICC tzatziki for me! I love sauces and tzatziki is high on my favorite sauce list with Reyna's version topping the list for the moment! An honorable mention goes out to my "Polish MIL" whose tzatziki was dethroned by Reyna. I'm glad to comment that the food was as good as the ambience was captivating. We had a really good dining experience that was complimented by stellar customer service. Here are my recommendations when dining here: (1) Check out the specialty cocktail menu prior to arriving because you will want to have one their beautifully crafted cocktails that are completely worth the splurge for. (2) Believe the hype! The Lebanese Tacos are the truth! Succulent and seasoned meat on tacos are always a win for me! (3) Don't skip the Falafel Sliders! I actually enjoyed these more than the chicken ones and had a hefty serving on that amazingly thick tzatziki sauce that I started off this review raving about. (4) Get the Fried Artichoke! PERIOD! (5) It's okay to order all the Mezes and Tapas in lieu of an entree! All the great things from their food menu can be found here. Definitely stop in and try Reyna because I will definitely be back!!! read more

A group of us, including the gals, went for a pre holiday dinner/celebration. The beau and I arrived early and went to the bar to catch the happy hour while we waited for the rest of our party. The martini I ordered arrived warm and unshaken which was a disappointing way to start. Fortunately everything else was very good. The table shared all of the dishes we ordered and we all agreed the food was quite good. The restaurant itself is very cute, warm, and inviting. The staff were helpful and cheerful. We enjoyed the experience. read more

We came here after a Select Member event from their speakeasy downstairs. As a Select Member we were able to get a free glass of prosecco and their croquette appetizer. Select Membership: https://www.meetselect.com/referral/meets-44825351 Atmosphere: This is such a well decorated restaurant. I love the feather hanging lights and the gold and white walls are beautiful. The tables and chair set up is immaculate - the chairs and booths are velvet and the tables have a marble design. I love the shape and design of the bar. They have also put a lot of thought into their dishware and glassware which fits in perfectly with the theme of the restaurant. Service: We had such amazing service here. From the maitre d' to the waitstaff everyone was very friendly and accommodating. It was a colder night and there was a bit of a draft so I asked to move tables and they were patient and got a a nice corner table. Food: There are so many food options for vegetarians here. We had such a hard time picking. For fries lovers, they have 5 different selection of different style fresh fries! I ended up getting the vegetarian paella - something that is really hard to find in most restaurants. We also had the cauliflower and manchego croquettes. They were crispy and very hot, clearly cooked in real time. It was very well seasoned and the aioli was the perfect pairing with it. We also got he eggplant carpaccio, a very different dish. It was yummy and came with pita bread. The date molasses did make the dish a bit sweeter than I expected. The vegetarian paella was a big dish. We shared it between 2 people and still had half leftover. Price: Considering NYC prices I would say everything was pretty reasonably priced. Our total came out to less than $100 for 1 appetizer and a shared large entree. We also did get the 2 free drinks and appetizer due to our Select Membership though. We also got money back from Seated as a Walk In. If you don't have Seated and you eat in the city a lot I'd consider downloading it as it gives you a lot of money back for eatting out as some really nice restaurants. My referral code is: Forum1 It'll get you an extra $10. Overall, I'd strongly considering coming back to try some of the other dishes or even host a bigger event at the restaurant.

My husband and I decided to grab dinner from here the other day. The restaurant is definitely great for a date night. We ordered a few items from the happy hour menu, an eggplant dish and the grilled platter. The pita was fresh and hot, it was nice and thin too. The meat was tender and well seasoned, the eggplant dish was okay. For drinks they were able to make me a mocktail which was delicious! It is a bit pricey, but it's tapas style so it's expected. The service was great! read more

It's a small restaurant but very cute decor. Good ambiance. Excellent drinks and good service. A cute date spot. We ordered: * Veggies with green hummus dip - the hummus was a bit spicy so I didn't care for it but the veggies were very fresh, sweet, and high quality * Falafel sliders - unique different and good but not extraordinary * Lamb baklava - good but I wanted it to be way more flakey and buttery. * Filet mignon - excellent * Wagyu slider - I did ask for the mustard sauce on the side but quality wasn't there for me - definitely american wagyu. * Deep fried cheese calls in sugar and lemon sauce on the bottom - it was more on the dry side than I expected. My favorites were the hummus/veggie and filet mignon. Overall a positive experience ! read more

Came here for an anniversary dinner. The food was delicious (albeit on the pricier side considering the portion sizes). The dishes are very unique. We loved the manchego croquettes!

Great restaurant with cute ambiance, great tapas, and nice spot to eat and catch up with a friend.

The service was also attentive and nice. read more

Food was meh. Won't return Piri-piri chicken: worse of all and most expensive of all. They presented the dish like it's royal and I'm so lucky to be able to taste it. It's bland as hell. The potatoes underneath were casually fried with garlic and I can tell the garlic is from the can. We asked the waiter for sauce for the chicken. Later on, we found out he charged us $3 for the sauce! Their strategy is probably like - make the chicken as bland as you can so we can charge something for the sauce. Haha. Won't return. Crispy artichoke: the concept is there but it wasn't execute correctly. The artichoke should have been chopped finely before fried. Now it's a big chunk of bland artichoke. For inspiration, go try the one from RH rooftop Octopus: the best dish out of all but not impressed. The sauce is too sour and overwhelming. It would have been fine with just olive oil and some salt. Maybe some mashed sweet potato or something. Sausage: as good as that cheap pack of sausage you get from grocery store. Don't expect the homemade feel sausages you would get from Velsaka. The waiter never came asked how our food was. Which is a pretty standard expectations from a restaurant like this. The lady who brought out the dishes was fantastic though. It's a pretty place with mediocre food. What a waste. read more

Writing this review as we leave the restaurant - I can't say enough how incredible this place is!!! We made 6 pm reservation on a Friday night, but arrived early, and the restaurant was super quiet (I think because it was Black Friday). They seated us at the back of the restaurant in a quiet area, since we were with our toddler and wanted something a little more comfortable and spacious. We made it early enough to try some of the happy hour specials and ordered the Arabic fries and falafel bites to start, along with a virgin margarita and a surprise mocktail. We also ordered the lamb baklava, croquettes, tacos, and seafood paella. I don't have words to explain it but each bite was quite literally Better than the last - I was truly blown away!!! Our waiter Tim was so knowledgable and overall so friendly and sweet, and so were the rest of the restaurant staff, including a woman we met who I think was the owner or manager. They made our anniversary dinner so special and were so so accommodating with our toddler!! 10/10 will be back, and an extra bonus for two clean bathrooms :) read more

I think Reyna may be a contender in the NYC restaurant fashion show. It has an energy and vibrancy that is hard to ignore. It is not a quiet restaurant so do not bring a date for deep conversation unless you think you will be yelling at each other. I found the food to be eclectic and was disappointed when the dish I wanted oh so bad was 86ed. Staff were friendly and keep the drinks flowing. Of course this means at some point you will need to pay that sky high NYC tab - for a south Florida boy it's can be a bitter ending. read more

Went to Reyna with friends tonight and had another epic experience. The service is unrivaled here - It's top notch. The dining room is hands down one of the most beautiful in NYC and the food is next level. The lamb baklava is one of my favorite bites of all time. The Reyna salad is so satisfying as are the artichoke hearts. You can dance around the tapas menu and be enthralled. It's a standout restaurant and my go-to spot in Union Square read more

Came here for a holiday celebration for a group of 6 people. We ordered the vegetable paella, the artichoke, and the shawarma platter with some Spanish fries. It was a good amount of food. Everything was well prepared. My favorite was the artichokes! Nicely seasoned and not too raw as most places tend to make them. We were told the paella would take 20 min but it took a long time for it to come out at the end of the dinner service. I asked 2 times for it and I was told it would come out soon. We weren't in a rush but most of the others forgot about it when it came out. Service started to be a bit slow when it gets busy here, but overall a positive experience. P.s. The cocktails here are a lot of fun but on the pricey side! read more

If I could give 3.5 I would. Reyna was a great date night. Our server Thaddeus was informative, friendly, and attentive. He guided us through the menu, and was great about keeping an eye on our needs even though the restaurant was super busy. The cocktails were amazing!! Expensive but delicious and with beautiful presentation. My French Pornstar came with a shot of Prosecco and syrup balls to construct at the table. The mezcal smoke show was another winner. I loved the Greek fries, so much so all weekend I've been telling anyone and everyone to come back with me for cocktails and fries during Happy Hour. Unfortunately some of the other dishes fell short. The salad dressing drowned the salad and the crispy artichoke were soft and boiled under a light batter. My husband loved the lamb baklava but it was a very small portion-- even for tapas. The cappuccinos were actually phenomenal. Reyna is a beautifully constructed space with high ceilings, romantic lighting, and a long gorgeous bar. I definitely recommend trying it out, and I will be back for Happy Hour soon. read more
