Food includes salads, Rubens, chicken sandwiches, pizzas (but do you really wanna get your New York style pizza from here?).

They sat us upstairs along the balcony overlooking the main dining room, and the decor... honestly, just look at the photo because I don't even know how to describe it The space used to be a church, and it is SO cool inside. Definitely not your average pizza joint. This place is popular -- there were plenty of people eating -- but surprisingly, our wait wasn't long at all. And even with all the bodies in there, it never felt crammed or uncomfortable. We ordered a small pizza and did half Shrimp Fra Diavolo and half Margherita. The Fra Diavolo had a little kick, but nothing crazy -- and this is coming from someone who cannot handle big spice The Margherita had just the right amount of basil and mozzarella, and that crispy crust was exactly what I wanted. Although there was no major cheese pull, it was still perfect. The small was plenty for the two of us and honestly just perfect. We also had a couple cocktails, which were delicious too. I always say NYC food pricing is kind of deceiving. You look at the price and go, "Ummm..." but then the food comes out and you realize they give you A LOT. Definitely felt like we got our money's worth here. Great pizza, really cool atmosphere, and a fun first NYC pizza experience for the husband. Happy Eating, Chass

John's Pizzeria of Times Square is located inside a restored 19th‑century church. I sampled the a la vodka pasta. I was not over impressed. It was cold in parts and warm in others and the pasta was stuck together in places. It was also dry with not enough sauce. I had to ask for some extra. By the time the lack luster server returned with the sauce I was almost finished. I would not visit again, as now I have seen the historical element. The story began in 1995, when Madeline Castellotti, a hardworking single mother and former human resources professional, saw potential in a derelict Gospel Tabernacle Church on West 44th Street in Times Square. At the time, the area was gritty, with homelessness, graffiti, and adult‑shop culture, but Madeline envisioned a unique, family‑friendly space. She was drawn to the church's intact stained‑glass ceiling, divided into eight equal panels -- a design she likened to slices of pizza. After two years of renovation, Madeline converted the abandoned church into a modern pizzeria while preserving its historic character. The project included restoring the stained glass, adding balcony seating, and installing four 800‑degree coal‑fired brick ovens with no thermostats.

The bar this kitchen sets has not wavered between visits (even though my visits have been about two years apart). It is Korean tapas style, meant for sharing. Their menu makes that easy because almost everything on it is worth ordering. The black sesame bread pudding is the dish I think about after every visit. Comes out warm with ice cream on top, savory and sweet at the same time, and it is the perfect way to close the meal. The kimchi fried rice is a standout, packed with flavor and that crunchy quinoa on top adds great texture. The mushroom harvest bowl comes with a soft onsen egg on top and is one of those dishes that surprises you. They also had a raw beef dish on the menu that was equally impressive, similar to a tartare preparation, and worth ordering if it is still available. One thing to know going in: when this place is busy it is loud. My last visit was a Thursday around 7:30pm and having a conversation at a two top took some effort to hear each other.

I had the pleasure of dining at Salinas yesterday with my boyfriend. The first moment I stepped into the restaurant, a load of stress just melted off my shoulders--especially coming from the busy streets of New York City; this place was extremely serene and tranquil. We were greeted warmly by the hostess and were lead to our tables in the dining area. Now, let me tell you how cute this restaurant is! Like another reviewer stated, the ambiance is really sexy. It's a medium-sized restaurant (not too big, not too small), which allows you to have just a good amount of privacy when dining. The interior here is really cute--bookshelves line the walls and there is a big table filled with vases in the center--so you feel like you're dining at a rich friend's fancy house rather than at a restaurant. We had the pleasure of having Justin as our waiter, of whom is extremely knowledgeable about the menu items and explained in detail about each dish. We started out with the Pa Amb Oli, which is a grilled country bread topped with garlic, tomatoes, olive oil, and sea salt. This starter was extremely light and fresh, sorta like a bruschetta but with ground tomatoes instead of diced tomatoes. We also shared the Queso Al Horno--baked spanish goat cheese, spicy tomato sofrito and spanish toasts with goat cheese melted on it. Talk about a lot of cheese! Although I'm not a fan of immense amounts of cheese in my food, this dish did it just right with the perfect balance combination of the goat cheese and the sofrito and toast. Justin recommended us to try the Coles Y Coliflor, which included brussel sprouts, green cauliflower topped with a side of citrus yogurt and cayenne pepper. Boy, was that good! For my entree, I had the Pescado Del Dia, a fish served with seasonal greens and a garlic sofrito. The fish was cooked perfectly! And by perfectly, I mean perfectly. I'm one of those people who are really picky about their fishes. The fish was on point--cooked just right; not overdone nor was it not cooked thoroughly enough. We ended our course with a dessert to share: the spanish profiteroles, which consisted of a passion fruit pastry creme, coconut & rum panna cotta, and red berries coulis. This was delicious! I love desserts that combine sweetness and tartness together. This dessert is both aesthetically beautiful (if you take a look at the photo I posted) and tastes like heaven! Without a doubt, I would definitely recommend my friends and family members to come here. The service was immensely high-class; Justin and the staffs were very charismatic and a delight to be around. I felt really cared for here, which in my opinion, is one of the most important factors when dining. I promise you'll fall in love with this place as I much as I did. I can't wait to go back again! I'm salivating just at the thought of it. read more

Went to Salinas the other night for the first time and it was AMAZING! I heard a lot a lot about it, but many times people make things out to be better then they are... but not this time. All was true to its words. When you enter you don't expect to see what you see, and for that matter smell. I walked in and there were lilys everywhere! and the smell was amazing and fresh. The bar area is cute and warm feeling and just a great vibe. The bartenders are very personable and funny to boot. When you go down the little hallway you then enter a room that is indescribably beautiful. Fresh roses, the lighting, the pictures, everything! Not to mention the bathroom is probably cleaner and nicer then most restaurants dining areas are. And that was just decor! I started with a drink called La Gitana, it was amazing, very fresh and light and the overall flavor went very well with the starters. To start we had a platter if cured meat and cheese, which was very delicious. Then we had Negros y Crujienles, which was SOOO good, could not get enough, then came.. Codorniz con manzanas, which is the crispy quail wrapped with bacon thats pan seared with appl and mushroom and just a whole lot of goodness! I have had quail before but never to tender and mouth watering, the flavors were mind blowing! Along with the quail we had Panceta con Albaricoques, the Pan seared pork belly with what seemed to be pear .. oh man let me tell you, mouthwatering. And I dont eat pork but I had to try this and it was so savory and delicious, works could not describe. Up next in this food adventure was Pulpo A la Plancha, and that octopus that sits over roasted fingerling potatoes with green garlic verde sauce on top.. I LOVE octopus so I was SUPER excited for this, and it was just soo fresh and not what most people think octopus would taste like, but it was simply wonderful! Also had the Gambas Al Ajillo... SO GOOOD! i love shrip, and I really enjoy that this shrip came with its head on because thats where you can suck out the BEST flavors. Very mouth watering and good. FINALLY after eating all that, came the Nuestra Paella. Needless to say it was simply amazing. It had plenty of everything so that no one had more or less of something then anyone else.. The flavor was great and with the Paella we had the Patatas Bravas, which complemented the dish as well which I never would have thought. Dessert was really good, the FLAN was so good and I have had good Flan before but not much compared. To conclude.. I would and will be coming back again.. The mix of the amazing decor and the fresh and great tasting food is just a wonderful combination.. and kudos to the awesome service that is hard to find now days... and amazing management who makes sure everything is going well and smooth! read more

The atmosphere is exquisite, really beautiful and rich; it's the kind of place you'll want to just take your time in because you don't want to leave. There's a back garden area behind the restaurant, and in the summer the roof retracts. I'll certainly be back for tapas and drinks to experience this. The service was really top-notch as well, everyone was really friendly. The manager came over before and after our meals to introduce herself, and was very friendly. Onto the drinks! The sangria was excellent. It was really sweet but with fruit, not sugar. It tasted like a fruity red-wine candy (uh-oh =D). They've also got a heavy pour, which I like. I opted for a tequila cocktail, I beleive called the Duente. I don't see it on their online menu now, but it was a great combination of a Spanish fruit, thyme, and egg white. All of the cocktails looked really artful and good quality. For the food, we each ordered a tapa and an entree. I got the gambas al ajillo, which had mushrooms in them along with your standard gambas set-up. I thought it needed some salt. My friend Courtney got the quail, which was served crispy, wrapped in bacon, and with sauteed apples in balsamic reduction. Those were the best thing that we ate. Onto the entree, we each ordered the Porcella (aka suckling pig). The day after I ate at Salinas, I took a look online to try to explain to a friend what I had eaten. I googled "Salinas Pork," because I had forgotten the name, and the first thing that popped up was a write-up from NY Magazine that Salinas was in fact the best Suckling Pig in the city. The pork itself was in fact really delcious. The inside was super tender and flavorful, topped with a thin later of inevitable fat, and then a crispy and delicious skin that was actually out of this world. The only minus is I think it needed sides that held up better to the weight of the pork. read more

Such a great find! Salinas looks small from the door but it opens up to be a really beautiful space. There is one step you'll have to walk up to get into the space.We were greeted by welcoming hosts and quickly lead to our table, right under the moveable roof. It was a beautiful mild night and such an amazing touch. The bar is welcoming and down the hall are several other larger tables for larger groups. The decor is very modern and lush and the pictures are what you see! For an appetizer we ordered the Pa Amb Oli and Gambas al Ajillo and both were really delicious. A cocktail I had, la gitana, was sweet and refreshing, reminding me of a peach version of a mojito. For entree we considered the paella until we heard the fish of the day was doran and it was amazing, light and tender and seasoned to perfection with potatoes. My friend had the chicken dish that was also well seasoned and the meat fell off the bone. We finished with dessert of the blanco y negro which were bite sized portions to share perfectly among two. Don't expect something large as this dessert is also tapa size. Our server Justin and Freddie were delightful and accommodating. It is clear they value their customer as the owner Donald visited each table and offered to seat folks who were cold because of the open rooftop to another spot even though he turned the heat on! At the same time we saw the chef come out and talk with a few tables. On a Wednesday night they had a lively crowd in the dining area. The bathrooms are on the same floor, accessible and clean. They will not fit a wheelchair to enter yet there was enough toilet paper, handsoap, and napkins throughout our time there. Every detail is of focus at Salinas and you will be glad you stopped by if it's just for tapas and drinks, or for a full meal. read more

I had the pleasure of dining at Salinas for a peaceful solo evening in the city, and I can genuinely say it was one of the most memorable restaurant experiences I've had in a long time. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance struck a perfect balance between calm and vibey- inviting, stylish, and somehow both lively and serene. The menu, a brilliant blend of Spanish-inspired tapas and Asian fusion, was thoughtfully curated with an evident love for flavor and presentation. I opted for mostly small plates because I wanted to try a little of everything, and I'm so glad I did. Every dish was a beautiful marriage of traditional ingredients and contemporary, innovative flair. The shiitake mushrooms were earthy and perfectly seasoned, the crudo was delicate and fresh, the pork belly rich and melt-in-your-mouth, and the potatoes with caviar were indulgent without being overwhelming. I honestly found myself wishing I had two stomachs so I could've sampled even more. The cocktails were refreshingly inventive, packed with flavor and clearly crafted with the same care as the food. Every sip was a compliment to the dishes I was enjoying. What truly elevated the experience, though, was the incredible staff. They were welcoming, helpful, and made me feel completely at ease dining alone. The owners themselves were unbelievably kind and gracious, making me feel like a guest in their home rather than a patron at a restaurant. Thank you, Salinas, for creating such a warm, delicious, and soul-nourishing experience. I'll recommend this spot to anyone living in or visiting NYC, and I'll definitely be back-next time, maybe with a friend... or at least an extra stomach. read more

Walked in- as the bar is smallish, asked to be seated at a table. Host replies that we may, but only if we eat dinner. I say that I eat a lot of tapas, it is a tapas restaurant... but that does not seem good enough. She replies that we will need to order dinner. I ask her what dinner is for her, she says appetizer, entree and dessert. I know what she's getting at but I liked the back and forth banter. She doesn't want people taking up their tables and not eating. But for me dinner equals many small plates. And as I've just arrived from San Francisco- this is actually my lunch. I didn't say that because her head may have exploded. She was nice though. Very nice atmosphere, good music, right lighting. I was going to steal some of their half dead flowers from the tables but the menu warned me that I'd be charged $15 for each flower I took. I only secured a small petal which discreetly entered my jacket pocket. The server was efficient and very very knowledgeable on the wine. Wine was good! Ordered one of their cheapest reds, $90. Food. Here's the bad part of my story. Paid for the bread- nothing special. Ordered popcorn octopus- literally had trouble cutting it (they should order it at Bathtub Gin to see how to make it melt in your mouth tender). Cauliflower next - not hot and over too much yogurt. Hoping next course will be better. Side potatoes- thank goodness for the spices as they livened up the pork belly dish. My wife ordered the chicken entree- very good! Was by far the freshest and tastiest dish we had. Bill was 200- 240 with tip. Thank goodness for you- Mr Chicken read more

My date and I went to Salinas last night and had nothing short of a lovely experience. Everyone from our server down to the coat check girl was very professional and friendly. The space itself is romantic and clean and presents itself as chic but not overstated. I feel like it is definitely a good date spot, especially in the back garden area, which is simply gorgeous. The menu is all tapas, with a few entree options sprinkled in. One must order was the brussel sprouts and cauliflower app that was dusted in some sort of spice and served with a yogurt sauce. It was divine! The "Spanish Pasta" dish we ordered was very flavorful, if not a little strange as far as texture, but full of vegetables and topped with a poached egg. It was definitely different and stood out as good choice. We also ordered one of the fish specials of the day and it came baked and topped with chickpeas, and was spiced perfectly. Overall, we were very pleased with the flavors and portions of everything we ordered. We topped dinner off with the flan, which I thought was a little too vanilla-ey, but it came accompanied with a mango foam and cookie crumbs which made it fancy and surprise tasty. I also love that the restaurant is right next to Bathtub Gin, and super easy to get to from the subway. I will be back! read more

This was the best dinner I've had in a while and that's saying a lot as I dine out so frequently. The decor was gorgeous! You walk in and immediately you feel the warmth. You see the cozy bar area first and it was just the cutest thing. I loved the design and the handsome bartender in suspenders. As you are walked in, you walk into a room that was so chic and well thought out. The best part is the back room, though!! It has a fireplace and a retractable roof for when summer hits. I can't WAIT to come back when the weather warms up. The food was on point. We ordered the pork belly tapas and the Spanish goat cheese one. Both were fantastic. Then we had the bacalao con pulpo and and the braised lamb shank pasta as our entrees. Both were extremely delicious. Ended the night with a nice port and their dessert cocktail. Let's just say this is my new favorite date spot but as I looked around the room the seating was also perfect for friends who came to catch up. Nice touch, Salinas. Beautiful decor, excellent food and even better service. The owner came over towards the end of our meal to check on us and I always appreciate when they take the time to say hello! It's those gestures that make us feel welcome and confident in our choice of restaurant. See you soon, Salinas! read more

We were greeted warmly by the hostess and the manager when we arrived for our 7pm reservation. We were seated in the back area with the fire place. The place was beautiful and very intimate. The waitress, Meredith was very knowledgeable about every item on the menu and always made sure to come check up on us. We received a complimentary plate with lamb meatballs and mushroom and cheese. They were both decadent. However, the main dish were not really what I had in mind.. my date got the fish of the day and he really enjoyed it. I got the pasta with lamb and mushroom and it just tasted very strongly like...lamb. It was very overwhelming. For our tapas/appetizers which were finger licking and almost made me fall in love with the place we got the goat cheese and sofrito and sauteed shrimp. For drinks I got the duende which was tequila and egg white based.. it was OK for wanting something sweet and not too strong. My date got the bourbon drink which was a bit bitter and sour. Overall the place was beautiful and the outdoor seating was even more inviting but the food itself was OK. I would probably come back for the outdoor seating but would try something different. The bathrooms were super cute so I would give them a solid 4 stars. read more

Hidden Gem! This place is wonderful. After hearing how delicious and beautiful this place was I wanted to try it. We came in and were seated right away even though we came about 15 minutes before our reservation. Our waiter, who was fab! recommended a bottle of wine, which we ended up getting 2 bottles of. He was very knowledgeable about everything on the menu! We got 3 different tapas, codorniz con membrillo (quail wrapped in bacon), montadito (lamb meatballs), gambas al ajillo (sauteed shrimp with mushrooms). Each was wonderful in its own way. My favorite was the quail it was like melt in your mouth perfect. For entree we split the Paella Mixta, rice with different seafood, absolutely delicious especially the mussels, my favorite!! For dessert was had a sample plate which was a perfect ending to a perfect meal. Throughout the night, the owner and manager came over to check how everything was and it was great to see how important costumer satisfaction was to them!. I recommend this place to anyone who wants great food and amazing service. I will be coming back here 100%,. read more

So I wanted to take my girlfriend out for a special dinner on her birthday and having read the awesome review the NY Times gave Salinas, I decided not to look any further. I thought it was going to be impossible to book a reservation considering all the great buzz surrounding this spot, but turns out, the friendly hostess was able to squeeze us in and accommodate us in the stunning garden by the fireplace. Not only that, but I told her about my girlfriend's birthday and they surprised her with a candle on our dessert! And don't even get me started on the food, which was out of this world. We had the corn crusted veal cheeks, the crispy quail wrapped in bacon, the salt crusted striped bass, and the crispy fideo pasta dish (Rosejat Rapida, which I found out was named one of this year's best dishes according to "Time Out NY"). Since the moment we walked in to the moment we left Salinas, our dining experience was beyond our expectations. I'm so happy I was able to treat my girlfriend to a very special dinner on her birthday. Thank you for making it happen, Salinas! read more

How could this little gem have flown under my radar all these years? I dipped in here last night to have a drink or two at the bar with my good friend, and we ended up having dinner in the dining room, which by the way, is cleverly nestled in the back, intimate, and cozy. Everyone from the host Nora, to our bartender Joseph, to our handsome waiter Artan, was ridiculously friendly! And the food was great! For appetizers I ordered the Pa Amb Oli, Spanish bread with olive oil, garlic, and salt, and my friend ordered the sauteed shrimp with wild mushrooms. She kept going on about how good the broth was lol. But I was too distracted with my own Atlantic cod with mussels which also came in a well seasoned broth. Artan did a great job juggling our table along with several others, and of course he invited us back again, so I would be rude to not take him up on that! lol All in all, great experience, met some great people at the bar, and Salinas will be on my list of regular spots from now on. Love the atmosphere! read more

I had the pleasure of dining at this establishment a couple of days ago and was absolutely taken away by the amazing service and food served. The experience was astounding and unforgettable. The explosion of flavors are a much welcomed change to an otherwise bland world. Our waiter Artan was on point, never once did our glasses reach the point of being empty, and he was more than willing to suggest items from the menu and provided my friend and I with the most courteous behavior imaginable. I have no reservations on recommending this to anyone who wishes to have a unique culinary experience filled to the brim with savory flavors, A+ customer service and an ambiance that leaves you breathless. I strongly suggest their Sangria (I'm about to beg them for the recipe) and their Croquetas Ibiricas (a cheesy explosion of flavors that leave you craving more and more). Now go! Make your reservation right now! This minute! And go have a nice glass of Sangria to welcome in these wonderful warm days. read more

From the moment I entered the doors at Salinas, I was impressed and thoroughly pleased. The bar area at Salinas is a perfect space to wait for the rest of your party to arrive; the hostesses and bartender are amazingly sweet and accommodating. The dining room is stunning, if a little tight. We were met by an amazing server named Brian, who brought us amazing cocktails (I had a La Mora, my friend La Campesina) and fabulous appetizers. The entrees, though, blew our minds. We each ordered the porcella... My word. I'm still raving, days later, about the meal. The meat itself was perfect -- melted in my mouth -- and the accompanying salad, along with fried chick peas (!!!) were ideal accompaniments. The staff is amazing, and I even got to meat Chef Bollo, who is a true sweetheart. I can hardly manage to put into words how amazing the food is at Salinas. I can't wait to go back! read more

This place was awesome! They had a romantic retractable roof in the rear which sadly has to be closed at 11PM. The place is romantically dimly lit and serve amazing Spanish food. It's a great date place and really they don't make anything bad, at least nothing I had. So what did I have? Jamon Iberico. Pretty interesting, wouldn't get it again, not that it tasted bad, it was interesting. Just wouldn't pay 18 bucks for a little piece of ham. Patatas Brava tasted awesome, a bit spicy but good!! Interesting twist on fries. Rosejat Rapida Wow, awesome. Ordered a Spanish entree which was a bit unusual because most Spanish rest are tapas. I was not disappointed very interesting and yummy!!! Membrillo for dessert!!! Get it!!! You won't be disappointed!!! I'm definitely coming back but might wait for another "special" occasion cuz it was a bit pricey but worth it!!!!! read more

We love spanish food, particularly tapas style and decided to try this place out of the many that were recommended to us. We are really glad we did. The place looks like a wedding hall, full of fresh cut roses all over! But of course, I am here to tell you about the food! We ordered several of the tapas as well as their paella. Everything we had was really good and tasty. The paella was just as good as any we have ever had in Spain. The tapas had the genuine flavor you would expect for a good spanish restaurant. No gimmicks in the flavors. We had the Gambas al ajillo which I think was our least favorite dish but the taste was still good. The Pa amb oli tasted just like its supposed to. The cheeses and charcuterie were really good and the patatas bravas were amazing. What more can you ask of a Spanish restaurant in NYC than real spanish food? read more

Overall a three star experience. It started out strong but I wish it would carry on through till the end of our dinner. The ambiance is wonderfully romantic,lots of fresh roses all over the restaurant. Really beautiful ones too, I think they import them from South America. The decor in general also ties nicely into the warm intimate feel they are going for. Definitely well done. The service seemed a little too cold and disconnected. He seemed a bit offended when we had questions about the menu. A bit snooty even. I really would have liked a friendlier server to make our special night out feel nicer. The food we got was all quite good, as was the wine. Definitely a plus point here. Good place to wow someone on a date or a special occasion, but the service may let you down a bit. read more

I am IN LOVE with this place, why it took me so long to discover it is beyond me! 1st and foremost this place is absolutely gorgeous! Huge displays of long stem roses EVERYWHERE you looked. It smelled divine! It is most certainly the most perfect date spot ever. My friend was saying the day she gets married she will be hosting her bridal shower there. lol As for the food- I had a bit of a hard time finding what to eat here because my diet is mainly vegetarian based. However, I did try all the non meat dishes and they were so very good. Staff was very attentive and very friendly. Always a huge plus. Finally, I have to mention the bathroom....it was like a spa! Simple, beautiful, fresh flowers and candles. I wanted to just go to sleep on the floor! ha! A MUST GO. read more

Finally, a different kind of Spanish restaurant! Unlike other Spanish restaurants that repeat the same old cliches, Salinas has several tapas and main dishes drawn from the food from the Balearic Islands. I've eaten at Salinas three times and every time I went, the food was impressively consistent and the place reminds me of a resort on Majorca Island in Spain. By the way, the picture doesn't do justice since it doesn't show the beautiful garden with a fireplace. If I want to impress anyone from foodie friends to colleagues or go on a date, I'd take them to Salinas without a doubt. "Crujiente" and "coles and coliflor" are ones that I'd recommend for those who aren't familiar with the Balearic cuisine. Also, try "torrija" for dessert - it'll please all your senses. read more

I came to Salinas a few weeks ago on a date and was instantly amazed at the vibe of the place. The hostess was extraordinarily friendly and the atmosphere exuded class and sophistication. When we sat down, we were greeted by a waiter who was extremely knowledgeable; he explained the dishes and answered our every question (I never actually have been to a Spanish tapas place before so I had a lot of questions!). As for the actual meal, there are no words to describe how amazing it was. The drinks were delicious and exquisite, and the food was incredibly savory, from the appetizers to the entrees. If you're looking to visit an impressive restaurant, I highly recommend Salinas as one of your first choices. I will surely be returning here again. read more

ABC Cocina

This has been on my list forever as a Jean Georges restaurant, so I finally made it in for dinner…read morethis past Tuesday. Hosts were super nice and welcoming right off the bat. I'm a Resy Global Dining Access member and they actually noted it to make sure we got a great table, which I appreciated. Also, it was so nice and cold inside given the insane heat we've had this week, small thing but it mattered. Vibe was really nice too. We started with the Tropicale margarita, which was delicious, the mango, lime, habanero combo just works. Ordered the garlic shrimp and the pea guacamole to start, both really good and paired perfectly with the margaritas. Then we got the fish tacos and pork tacos. Honestly both were great, and I'm normally a pork person, it was tender and flavorful, but the fish taco kind of stole the show here. Grilled fish, seasoned just right, not overdone, and that citrus plus their homemade habanero sauce was chef's kiss. Portions are on the smaller side, but the quality's there, so we still had room for dessert. Got the churros and the caramel popcorn ice cream. Went for the churros first and... they just weren't it. Texture was off, kind of crumbly in a way that didn't feel like a properly done churro. The ice cream though, worth every penny. If you're choosing between the two, get the ice cream. Kind of surprised our server never asked why the churros were basically untouched, feels like something worth mentioning back to the kitchen. Service was sweet overall, but they did bring us chicken tacos instead of fish at one point, which took like 20-25 min to sort out. Paid $230 for 2 people, overall a good meal and I'd go back again for those fish tacos.

I was at this lovely restaurant last evening with a group of others for Restaurant Week, where we…read morewere seated in the back, which is a nicely designed area. The price is pretty reasonable at $45 for three courses, especially for the Village, given the pretty generous portions. Our waiter, who I believe was named Fahim, was very friendly, giving people good recommendations and keeping the atmosphere light and inviting while still being professional (top marks all around.) To drink, a bunch of us got cocktails, with most of them being $18 to $20. I went with the decent Rising Star with Desolas mezcal, arak, lime, agave, cinnamon, and star anise. I can definitely taste the smokiness in the mezcal as well as the lime and spices, but I found the anise flavor a bit too light for my liking, and would probably try the Cantarito instead next time. Other people enjoyed the Spirit Bird and Tokyo Drive. Prior to the meal, they gave us two types of bread with some olive oil. I wish the bread was warm, but it was good quality otherwise. My appetizer of choice was the classic Vitello Tonnato, with slow roasted veal, tonnato sauce, and crispy capers. It's a cold veal dish I've had before and liked, but it isn't super common on menus. The tender veal had a refreshing flavor from the tonnato, and there was a bit of zing on the plate from some pickled onion. This was the smallest of the appetizers, but the portion was still decent enough with four pieces of flavorful veal. I tried a bit of someone else's very large Lolla Rosa Salad, with said red lettuce, watermelon, watermelon radish, mint, roasted pistachios, and lemon dressing. The dressing was light, and there was a nice mix of textures, from the crunchy radish and pistachios to the sweet, crunchy yellow watermelon. Otherwise, a couple of others enjoyed the excellent-looking Burrata, and one person enjoyed the $5 extra Fritto Misto. As my main dish, I went with one of their pastas. My choice was the Bucatini Limone e Gamberi with homemade lemon bucatini, Montauk shrimp, Meyer lemon, and imported butter. The pasta had a nice texture, while the bouncy shrimp added a touch of sweetness. However, the lemon flavor was a tad lighter than I expected, so overall, I enjoyed it, but it wasn't my favorite of this style. A few of us also split the Charred Corn for $15, or $18 on the check, with Pecorino Romano and Calabrian chili. Aside from the price mismatch, I liked the flavor a lot, as it reminded me a bit of esquites. The chili flavor was a bit light, and it didn't have the sour component I usually associate with said dish, but I still liked it, and it was delicious when added to the pasta. In terms of other people, one person devoured the rather smaller portion of Agnolotti Cacio E Pepe, and one person had the Black Seabass. People overall enjoyed their food with minor complaints about saltiness. The dessert choice was between cannoli and gelato, and their association with the excellent Pamina nearby made the choice very easy. As with the others, I went with the Pistachio Gelato, which was silky and smooth, with plenty of pistachio, or rather "pistacchio." I was also happy that it wasn't overly sweet either. I have had their gelato before, and this was excellent, as always. The other choices were chocolate gelato or a sorbet choice of either lemon, I believe, or strawberry. After talking a while longer, we soon got the check. This is a tasty Italian spot with a good Restaurant Week Meal. If the service was only adequate, I would probably rate this closer to a four, as the pasta was a bit less notable than at some other places in the area, but our waiter made our experience that much better.

El Quijote

Such a wonderful meal here at El Quijote. Its been a running inside joke to dine at this restaurant…read moreand we finally did the thing. Split a few tapas, a main, and a dessert and it was divine. Starting off with the Jamón Serrano o Ibérico which was beautiful, had a very subtle nuttiness and a very buttery texture that just melted. Next, the Alcachofas Fritas which were fine, lightly fried artichokes with a nice sauce. Following that was my pick for the table which was the Pulpo Adobado. Octopus that was grilled to perfection with such an awesome char to it. I feel like you typically get a very firm texture from octopus but here it was smooth and soft, alongside the potatoes and a nice tangy adobo sauce. Last out of the tapas was the Croquetas de Chorizo. Perfection. Incredibly smooth, creamy cheese with a nice chorizo flavor, crispy crust, and delicious sauce on the side. Loved this a lot. For the main we split a large Paella de Mariscos. Rice had that fresh, oceany taste to it. Soft rice in the middle of a dish with more crispy rice around the edges which added some fun texture. Mussels and shrimp were fine, the rice with the squid was the star here. To finish off we also split a Flan de Queso Cabra. I usually don't go for a flan because I always expect something creamier than the gelatinous dessert that it actually is, but I saw the goat cheese and was intrigued. Best flan Ive ever had, the goat cheese provides that exact creaminess that I crave, plus a tartness that balances perfectly with the caramel. Freaking amazing. To drink we split a pitcher of the White Sangria which was awesome because it had Pisco it in, one of my favorite liquors that I find so underrated. Had a flavor that emulated those sugar coated candied grapes you get at street markets. Also had a bottle of the 1906 Reserva Especial beer. Great Spanish amber beer with a strong malty flavor. Beautiful, quiet, dark interior with some wonderful conversations, the place lived up to our expectations.

If considering imbibing drinks at the bar, just be ready for a dimly lit space that would make a confessional seem florescent.

As tends to be the case, the offerings were good but not great. The cuts were certainly high quality but a better steak experience can be had at Wolfgang's for half the price. Many of the offerings have a "spin" on them - such as patatas bravas served as multi-layer sticks rather than in a traditional form, deconstructed salad, fancy playing using negative space. Quality ingredients but the flavors were not memorable. The biggest problem I had with Bazaar was the service. I took a client here for an important dinner and we were persistently interrupted from the moment we sat down through almost the entire dinner. Wait staff should have some general social sense to know when to step in and when to avoid interrupting an engaged conversation. On top of that, our waiter was the pushiest waiter I have ever experienced in fine dining. He put tremendous pressure on us to order the prix fix, which we had to push back on multiple times. Then, when ordering à la carte, he again pressured us to order more than we needed, which we did just to get him to leave us alone. Spoiler alert - we didn't finish a fair amount of our $1k dinner. Rudeness with a smile is still rude. Bazaar seems best suited for folks from a small town who want to feel like they are having a fancy night out (though be warned, we were seated near two different gen z kids having solo dinners in sweatpants). I would avoid having any sort of serious meeting or occasion here.
