    Pan tumaca
    Daniel B.

    Stopped in for some food and drinks one evening after work and had a wonderful experience! The staff is very friendly and accommodating, and the food was delicious - I had the fried goat cheese and the pan tumaca and enjoyed them both.

    CROQUETAS DE GAMBAS
    Donna M.

    How have I not been here before?! Amazing service and amazing food. Came in on Saturday without a reservation and got lucky to be seated within a few minutes. The restaurant has plenty of seating, offering high tops, bar, and traditional tables. The vibe inside is reflective of the Spanish culture with lively music and decor. For drinks, we ordered a pitcher of sangria as we felt it was a good deal. We noticed other patrons ordering cocktails and they looked tantalizing. Definitely trying next time. For tapas we got the Pulpo, Calamari, Gambas and Croquettes de Gambas. All were great dishes and highly recommend. The Pulpo was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The Gambas was fragrant and spicy, wasn't served with bread had to ask. The calamari was lightly breaded which is a plus. The croquettes were mini but full of flavor. Ended our meal with Churros con Chocolate. The restaurant offers many specials during the week like paella specials which I am looking forward to trying.

    All night happy hour on Mondays! (5 pm to close). Came here because 1) open Mondays and 2) happy hour. Beautiful large space, somewhat new building/development in Astoria. 2 people on a Monday holiday evening. We each had a couple glasses of wine (did I mention happy hour?) and shared some bites. Good food and portions, but they seemed short-staffed. We had to wait a while to get attention etc. I would come back for happy hour and food again.

    Came back and just had to share the food. Had some repeat plates but tried new ones as well. The lechon was out of this world. Staff again super attentive and welcoming. Love the vibes. Will need to come back for the paella.

    Gin cocktail, octopus & the garlic shrimp
    Jasleen K.

    Came here last night to grab tapas and a drink with a friend and honestly, we were not disappointed. The bartender was amazing and he was really good at making the drink. I forgot the name of my gin cocktail, but it was so good. I absolutely loved the octopus. It had a hint of Indian flavor since they had a green chutney sauce on top. The shrimp was good as well!

    Lovely space, very bright and buzzy. Paella was delicious, as well as the croquettes. Pleasantly surprised with the goat cheese with figs, probably one of the best bites of the night.

    Delicious and just the right amount of heat in this Spanish restaurant. The cuisine is traditional but seems they add their style to each dish. Always check the daily specials - they are too tempting to pass up. A must try is the sangria!! The staff is friendly and helpful if you have trouble choosing. The atmosphere is comfortable and modern.

    Entraña a la brasa (hangar steak)
    Jiali L.

    We came here for dinner with family and the restaurant was conveniently accessible from the subway which is a plus! Since we were a group of 6, tapas were perfect since we could share and try a lot of different things together. We ordered the datiles (bacon wrapped dates with almond), chorizo a la plancha, gambas al ajillo (shrimp with garlic), pan tumaca con jamon (rustic bread with Iberico ham), confit de pato con patatas (duck confit with potatoes), 2 person paella de mariscos (seafood paella), albondigas (meatballs), pisto manchego (Spanish ratatouille), lubina a la plancha (grilled branzino) and the entraña a la brasa (hangar steak).  For dessert we got the Tarta Santiago (a Galician almond cake) and Manzana Asada (roasted apple with puff pastry and spices). We managed to each get a taste of everything!  We were certainly stuffed at the end.  The chorizo was definitely one of the highlights and the paella was a bit sad and small (even for 2 people).  I had never tried the Spanish ratatouille before but it tasted as it looked (soft vegetables cooked in olive oil).  Overall it was a solid meal and the ambiance was nice as well.  Would definitely come back and try other menu items with a group!

    Churros Con Chocolate
    Angie O.

    Always such a good time. Alex was great to us. We appreciate the hospitality. This time we went for dinner and everything was 10/10. It was all delicious. Fav drink: Malaga nights !

    Came here on a Friday and the service was awesome. We sat at the bar for happy hour and got some drinks. The cocktails were made perfectly and the service was super attentive and friendly at the bar. The espresso martini had had shaved chocolate on it and that was a great touch. We migrated over to tables for dinner and had some of their tapas and they were delicious.

    A really solid Spanish restaurant in Astoria. The interior is so beautiful. It's bright, spacious and a little rustic with the exposed wood accents. What I really appreciate about Sala is all the specials they have on a daily basis -- their daily happy hour deals literally calls my name! I've also been there on Thursdays for their paella deals and Wednesday for their wine/sangria deal. I even saw that they have free flamenco shows on certain days! After spending a week in Spain, I had the sickest craving for Spanish food, and I gotta say that the food from Sala is just as good as what I had in Spain. The paella is a must get, and I would say that it's even better some of the ones I had in Spain. It's so flavorful and the rice is nice and soft. The octopus and empanadas were also really great. If you're a fan of olives, do not skip out on them. I ended my meal with churro and chocolate -- the hot dark chocolate paired with the crispy churro, I'm drooling just thinking back!

    The goods :)

    We came across this place for a late lunch. We had dinner plans in a few hours so we didn't want a huge lunch. I missed the tapas I had in Spain and was craving tapas. Luckily this place came up on Yelp and was highly rated so we walked over. We were greeted warmly and sat down. The restaurant was decorated beautifully :) We got some bread and oil for the table after we ordered. I got the rose sangria which was refreshing on a hot day. My friend got the dates wrapped in bacon which she really liked. I ordered the Calamari, the octopus and the croquettes. The croquettes came out first. They were crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside. So much flavor! It was so good. I then had calamari. The breading was the right texture and seasoned beautifully. I really enjoyed the dipping sauce the calamari came with as well. The octopus was the real star! Grilled to perfection. Tender and fresh and seasoned very well. Wow I would love to dine here again and get a meal like paella. Best tapas I've had outside of Spain :) I also saw there would be flamingo dancing too some nights. How fun! I would totally come here if I was local.

    Sardines. Skip it.
    david l.

    This is a really good Tapas place. The food was great. I highly recommend the shrimp, scallops, croquettes with ham and the hanger steak. I would skip the canned sardines and roasted Brussels sprouts. The sprouts were not very tasty and the canned sardines is like anything you buy in the market.

    I first came to AOC to take advantage of the live music. I didn't think much of their food. I was,…read moreafter all, only really there for the jazz. But after trying their cuisine, this restaurant became more than just a place to watch a mini concert, glass of wine in hand. My favorite dish here is their carbonara, and I dare say, it may be the best carbonara I've ever had. The pasta is wonderfully creamy with generous bits of guanciale. I mean, just look at this beauty - it's glistening! As though this dish weren't creamy enough, it's topped with a half cracked egg, the yolk a vibrant orange. The idea here is that you incorporate the yolk into the pasta while it's still warm. This is a French restaurant after all, so I will warn you that the service here is quite European. From my experience sitting at the bar, the server won't fuss over you as you dine, and if you needed anything, you would have to flag him down. It's not an issue to me. I don't like feeling rushed at dinner. Just looking at the marvel that is this carbonara is a reminder that I should book another reservation here soon.

    Sat at the bar for happy hour. 4 stars for hospitality…read more Bartender, Manuel, was friendly and engaging. 4 stars for ambiance. Restaurant is quaint and not too loud. Nicely appointed 3 stars for food. The AOC burger was ordered for Medium rare and came back medium. The French Onion Soup was recommended but my friend said it wasn't cheesy enough and the cheese seemed to get stuck to the bowl and not enough in the soup. The Brussels sprouts were rocking. The prosecco was delicious. But still a 3 star rating because we expected more in terms of flavor and getting the burger order right. I'd come back and order something different.

    Bartender Juan Jose served me at the bar on Sunday 2/15/26…read more This place is perfect for Happy Hour because my Passionfruit Sangria was potent! I got tipsy at first sip, and I have a high alcohol tolerance. I ordered the Sunday lunch special: the Beef Rib Soup with a side of white rice, chicken, salad and corn cake. The beef was tough, but everything else was good. TIP: Ask for some extra green sauce. It is the tastiest green sauce that I have ever had. For dessert, I had the Torta de Almojábana, which is a warmed breading pudding made from Colombian cheese bread, cornmeal, cuajada cheese and guava. It was delicious, but I did not care for the side of soft "low quality" vanilla ice cream. I would have preferred that it had been hard "high quality" ice cream so it could have melted over the dessert. My favorite brand is Ben and Jerry's. The place is big enough to seat about 25 people, and the parking lot could fit about 50 cars. It is an excellent place to do an Event.
