Baby Brasa

Surprisingly this place was completely empty for happy hour and it was amazing. Didn’t have to wait long for food, drinks anything. It gave such a calming and intimate experience. The appetizers for happy hour were so refreshing. The food was made fresh and the flavors blended well together. They weren’t filling but just a refreshing bite in every bite. The margaritas were delicious. My go to is always a passionfruit margarita and at the end the gentlemen recommended the coconut one and to be fair I don’t like anything coconut. However, the coconut margarita really took me by surprise it was absolutely delicious. A few things that I was constantly thinking about is the draft of the windows by the booth area. I expected it to be some type of heat in the restaurant, it was really cold no matter what. Being that there was no one there at the beginning I felt kind of rushed to start eating dinner when we were just enjoying the ambiance, drinking and still getting through the appetizers. I appreciated the consistent check-in but not feeling a bit rushed to get on with dinner. Also their rolls could be a bit bigger. They felt very small for Sushi roll. I definitely recommend this location as everything I had was delicious. I will definitely be coming back.

My friends and I went here for a girls night and we loved it. The restaurant was beautifully decorated and the interior is super cozy and has a great ambiance. The service was super friendly, prompt and accommodating. The food was delicious. My friend loved the Brasa Burger and I loved the steak frites. The drinks were also 10/10. Overall a great experience and we would def go back!

Very cute and cozy restaurant. Food was mixed. Steak and eggs are just wonderful when avocado toast is a big disappointment. Avocado was not fresh, although tuna tartar tasty and mouth watering. Grilled octopus-can't miss. Perfect reasoned and cooked to perfection with just the right amount of sauce. Saviche was very nice as well. Unlimited mimosas were very limited since our server was never around

I have enjoyed my date at Baby Brasa, I always come for cocktails and the food is incredible. The staff is very attentive, charismatic and always with a smile and very good suggestions. The cocktails are the best part, it's always a spectacle. I always recommend asking about the seasonal cocktails, they are incredible. The food is delicious and comes in a good portion compared to the price. Baby brasa is always a good option at any time.

No doubt this is where you come to if you like great food, delicious drinks and a party vibe in a beautiful tropical disco. Besides ala cart, the restaurant also have prix-fixe menu for party of 6 and above. The only downside, although the playlist was great, the music just gets louder and louder until we cant handle anymore but leave without having desserts. We are not dancing on the dance floor with our plate of lomo and yucca fries guys, you dont have to play it so loud but good enough to till be fun and have decent conversation.

Fun and delicious restaurant, perfect to start the night. The food is very tasty, I have been here a few of times and my favorite appetizers are the ceviche and the arepas. For main dishes, I’d recommend the ají de gallina and the lomo saltado. The restaura always has great music and fun vibes, perfect to start a night out.

We had a family of 14 and half of our party were little kids, the AC was not working and it was hot as hell in the resturant and we had to resort to fanning our selves. We would understand if the AC was not working and you guys told us for transparency, and took responsibility, but that was not the case. The staff was amazing and friendly, and the food was great, but it was way too hot for me to enjoy the food and ruined my overall experience at Baby Brasa.

Food is delicious, has great ambiance, and excellent service! Perfect for big groups! Scallops are amazing !!!! Definitely worth trying! Chicken and waffles are to die for! The grilled salmon with rice is amazing too. The rice itself is delicious! Drinks is delicious! 10/10 ! 💕

Despite its mixed reviews, I enjoyed Baby Brasa a lot. I went before jazz at the Village Vanguard- it is awfully convenient as it is right across the street from the jazz club. My friend and I ordered a couple drinks and albeit they were strong they were a bit too sweet for my liking (and trust me when I say that I have a sweet tooth). For our mains, my friend ordered the lomo saltado- a classic Peruvian dish. It was very good and a generous portion as well. I ordered the shrimp fried rice. I've never had chaufa styled fried rice before, but I can say that it was very tasty after trying it. The shrimps were huge but I would've appreciated it if they had peeled off the shell. All in all, I would visit Baby Brasa again if I was in the area, especially now that I see they have a HH that includes food as well.

Nestled in the heart of the West Village, Baby Brasa offers a vibrant fusion of Peruvian and international flavors, making it a gem for food lovers. The inviting atmosphere, adorned with warm lighting and botanical touches, sets the stage for a truly enjoyable experience, whether it's a romantic evening or a special celebration.‍Each dish is packed with flavor and plated beautifully. They've also got a huge selection of drinks that are so delicious!! We definitely recommend their Lavender Martini, Baby Brasa Martini and their Red Sangria. What we ordered:   LOMO SALTADO: Marinated sirloin steak chunks, red onion, cherry tomatoes, scallions, cilantro & french fries served with jasmine rice.  CREAMY SEAFOOD PAELLA: Braised shrimp & octopus in Peruvian peppers, avocado, nikkei pico de gallo served in a hot cast iron skillet.  STEAK FRITES: Marinated skirt steak, house-made chimichurri served with french fries and lemon butter asparagus.  ARROZ CON POLLO GF: Grilled chicken thigh, served with cilantro rice, huancaina potatoes (served at room temp), and salsa criolla.  AJI DE GALLINA GF: Succulent shredded chicken breast covered in yellow pepper and parmesan cheese cream, served with jasmine rice and andean potatoes. A great place for a birthday or hanging out with friends, Baby Brasa in NYC promises amazing food, tasty cocktails, and fantastic service. We highly recommend it!‍

The vibes of baby brasa are cute and the service is pretty good but I don't think the food or ambience justify the very steep price point. The cocktail I tried was very good but the food was lacking flavor and the beef I had was overcooked. I don't think I'll be back.

Situated in west village, this trendy and classy Latin restaurants is perfect a girls night out or an intimate dinner date. The apps are small but might in flavor. The arroz con pollo, one of their most popular dishes, was fantastic. There was maybe minty green sauce(?) not sure but it paired perfect with the soft mini potatoes and yummy chicken slabs. The seafood risotto was good as well, a bit oily and I liked the chicken rice better. Tres leches cake had a lovely coconut twist in it. The service was good and quick. We got dinner Saturday at 6pm and it was pretty empty, so you could easily walk in.

I really enjoyed this place and it had a great party vibe for a restaurant Since I went with a large group I got to try a ton of dishes and I loved them. If you dont like plantains or are very weak with spicy food, it may not be the best place for you. But if you are going get the arepas with chorizo and the lomo saltado for sure. I have also ordered and food was great

Baby Brasa... great dish. I had the vegetarian dish which was very hardee and fulfilling... it was something to remember. Service was ok and the ambience was a cool city vibe. I'll may give it another run in the future.

Visited Baby Brasa a few weeks ago on a girls weekend trip to NYC. We had a reservation for 4 on a Saturday and was able to get seated early. The restaurant ambiance was good, a bit dark to read the menus though. We got the baby arepas to start and they were so good we put in another order! Salty, savory and the sauce was amazing. We got a variety of dishes including the arroz con pollo, aji de gallina, and ceviche. All were fabulous! Our waitress was very accommodating and provided great recommendations. Would definitely visit again!

Baby Brasa is just as good as it looks, and way better than the average review suggests. The ceviche was wonderful. The clubby vibe with loud music didn't mesh well with my mood the night that I dined here.

I came here for my birthday with family and it was great, food to vibes to service. Beautiful restaurant from entrance to bathroom. We had pisco sours, empanadas, ceviche, paella, steak, and arroz con pollo. The ceviche was fresh, bright, and balanced with the sweet potatoes and pickled onions. The mains were generous portions and tasted excellent.

Cute little restaurant with nice outdoor seating. I love that they have mocktails but the cucumber mint lemonade was a bit overpowering with cucumber. Food: crispy rock shrimp was good, but I didn't taste any truffle The poke bowl was also nice and a bit unique with the Peruvian corn. Good amount of fish and very good price!

Had a lovely graduation lunch at Baby Brasa with couple friends! Loved the colorful interior decor and attentive service here. We did not have to wait at all to be seated on a weekday afternoon. Our waiter was very kind and helpful, and let us know it was happy hour. All the foods we ordered were delicious and flavorful -- chicken empanadas and quesadillas as appetizers, mango salad with salmon was huge, steak frites with rice on the side, and crispy rock shrimp. The drinks here were also very good. Highly recommend coming here for lunch or dinner!

The place can be a hit or miss and I think your experience depends on who you know, unfortunately. The first time I tried coming here on a date, looking for just a good last minute dinner in my neighborhood. Despite having reservations, we still had to wait in a 20 min line to be seated, so I cancelled. The second time around, I went with a large group of people and one of my friends happened to know the restaurant owner. We were seated right away and we were offered a plethora of appetizers and desserts without being charged. I think the restaurant wanted us to market the place as hip and cool or whatever... I'll confess however, the food was actually excellent. I'm still thinking about the lomo saltado, spicy tuna, parmesan scallops, chicken empanadas, and the seafood ceviche. The spicy tuna is a MUST.

I really enjoyed this restaurant. I know that they have mixed reviews on Google, some of the reviews look fake to be honest. However, this is where my friend wanted to go for their birthday. We ordered a bunch of small plates and shared among us all. That night specifically there was live music and it was totally a vibe. They even got some of us to dance. The ambience of this place is immaculate. The food was good. The scallops were a hit ,probably my favorite thing. Next, I would recommend the shrimp as well as the tuna dish. This is a great restaurant to go with your friends. If there is live music, just know, it will be relatively loud, but if that's the vibe for the night or you choose this spot before going out to dance, this is the place to go. The service wasn't anything to talk about. No one went above and beyond, and they even decreased the amount of times they would come to the table just because we sat very close to the live music and they had people dancing in the isles. However, someone did come to our table towards the end to confirm if we enjoyed our food & our time at the restaurant. I wasn't sure if it was the manager, but that was a nice added touch

Papas Huancaina Native potatoes with andean cream sauce made from yellow peppers and feta cheese, the sauce was super creamy and flavorful . Classic Ceviche The flavors were well balanced you can taste the acidity of the lime marinade but it wasn't overwhelming followed by hints of cilantro and the Peruvian steamed corn and crunchy corn nuts added to the texture of the bite and the flounder was very fresh, was literally drinking the marinade it was so good! . Grilled Octopus One of the most tender grilled octopus I've had, really liked the capers they used it added little saltiness but didn't overpower the lemon aioli or the octopus . Service was great and very attentive, the place was chic and modern decorated and sectioned well for different sized parties, relaxed ambiance great for all occasions!

I visited on a Sunday morning for brunch and was pleased to find parking easily--a definite plus. The food, drinks, and service were all excellent, and the ambiance and decor, added to the great experience.

The inside is under renovation so we had to sit outside. There was a heater right above the table but it did end up getting a little cold after a while. We got the fried calamari, tuna tostada, chicken empanadas, sashimi on fire, grilled octopus, and tuna avocado. Everything was really good but i think they cooked the tuna tostada a little too long and i didn't like the burnt pieces of fish. However the sashimi on fire was cooked just right. The waitress was also really nice and service was good, but i did get a little bit of food poisoning.

Stumbled onto this place on a Thursday night at 7pm after multiple restaurants around the area having a wait. Upon further review I'm confused why every where else had a wait and this place didn't! For starters, the vibes, I felt like I was in a cool bar in Tulum. Great soft techno music and intimate setting and colorful decorations with brown wood tones. It was quite slow with only 5 tables sat (the place is small holding maybe 15-17 tables max) however, once again, this place needs more attention! As a 2 year New Yorker this was one of the better meals I've had here. My partner and I started with the salmon crispy rice which tasted fresh and had great flavor, then followed with the steak frites and ajilo chicken which reminded me of a pulled chicken stroganoff with a side of rice. All was EXCELLENT. The only bad thing I have to say is that the asparagus served with the steak had too much of a char taste which I personally don't like but overall the steak was cooked perfectly and seasoned, and the chicken dish was honestly so homey and favorable. The bidder cleared off our table immediately after every dish too. Never sat with a dirty plate in front of us. Overall service was just a bit slow but really enjoyed the food.

Not authentic Peruvian food, way too expensive, service is bad. I wouldn't recommend this place, overrated

This was a cool spot! My group of 3 made a reservation on a Friday for 8PM and were seated about 5 minutes later in their heated outdoor area. There even was live music that brought an engaging vibe to the already funky atmosphere with so many live plants! We were pleasantly surprised with the cute appetizer of popped corn (I think that's what it was?) It was great and very unique. My group stayed drinking water, but decided to order a few tapas: the chicken empanadas, tuna tartare, baby arepas, and shrimp skewers. The empanadas and arepas were a group favorite at 5/5, with only one wish that they could be bigger! The shrimp skewers were also cooked to perfection and were the perfect amount for our group of 3. The tuna tartare was also great, and our server flamed them right after setting it on the table - very cool to watch! All in all, the presentation of the food was great. The service was great, and I would love to come back! The prices were reasonable for the food and I'll just definitely try one of their specialty cocktails next time.

Service: Warm and friendly Ambiance: Great Food: Nothing to really like here and we ate in a group of 6 ordering a lot of the menu. It was overly salty. Ceviche dishes were ok, not worth the price.

The food! The cocktails! The wines! The music! The prices! Yo, this is the West Village and when you find a gem you hate to brag about it, cause what if I can't get in next time. But whatever, it's worth it when the joint deserves the accolades. Also the staff is bomb. Super. Oh and who doesn't love a blow torch finishing their bites tableside.

Came here for a brunch event. Cute location and servicevwas very friendly. We got a variety of dishes and everyone loved it all. We tried the chicken empanadas, arepas, Flatbread, ribs dish and the sweet potato fries dish. then for dessert we had the churro, cookie and tres leche cake which was delicious too. Drinks were amazing tried the flamingo and the coconut Margarita.

First off the outside the inside everything about the look of the restaurant is gorgeous! They really do a beautiful job at creating a wow factor and great for pictures ! The service was wonderful all of the staff was friendly and making sure everyone had a good time and they were quick and efficient! The food was absolutely amazing ! I loved the way they put effort into each plate especially the table side flambé tacos. The aesthetic of the drinks ! Everything was delicious! I personally got to experience this through a friend who puts these dinners together (its an all you can eat and drink for like 50$) you can look her up on Instagram @babyimhungryyy she is always having events like this. This restaurant gave a stellar experience with great food and drinks

I thought this place was overpriced for the food you get but I can definitely see why this is a popular spot in Manhattan. Amazing vibes all around, the day I went they were having Brazilian Night so there was live music the whole night as well as dancers floating around tables which was super fun. Service was fast and staff were welcoming and friendly! Reviewing on food itself - I've definitely had better/more authentic Peruvian food and I do think this place is overpriced. But again, great atmosphere so I would recommend visiting if you're thinking about going! Just not sure I would NEED to go again.

Super cute place for brunch. Generous portions and the heated outdoor area features live music during the weekends. Make sure to order the guac - it's delicious!

The spot is a vibe. We did the 70 dollar meal with an abundance of drinks. We racked about the bill unapologetically. And this is the type of place you want to sit and chill awhile. Amazing ambiance, great for people watching and the night we went there was an open mic session outside. Also a perfect setting for group dinners. The food comes out in different course. All enough for everyone in the party to pick at. It was the ultimate dining experience. I think the cocktails were my honest favorites. The only annoying part was it took 30-40 mins to get the check.

Went here for a friends birthday and loved it! We sat outside and it was surprisingly very warm considering we were there in February. The decor was great and the food was equally as great. It was a great spot for a girls night out or a celebration!

Came across this place on a Sunday. Didn't have a reservation but host was able to squeeze us in after a little bit of a wait. Took some time before someone came to take our order.. he did apologize for the wait because other tables kept holding him up. They were complaining about the food which we overheard and I agree because it wasn't that great. Lacked a lot of flavor and dry for the most part just bland for the price

Long, one of the best Peruvian chickens in town and since COVID their tropical outdoor dining is like a trip to Miami. Problem: no more Peruvian chicken nor lentejas, my other favorite dish. BIGGEST PROBLEM: It's illegal not to accept cash anymore. My boyfriend wanted to pay in cash and the waitress said no. That's ILLEGAL! And bring back the chicken and lentils please.

Great menu options, suitable for all diets (DF, GF, etc) Cute vibe, however service was off (Valentine's Day (galentines dinner))

I just came here for a work lunch and I have to say it was an incredible time. There were four of us and we got seated in the outdoor patio with a lot of greenery outside, which we loved. As you can see from the photos we ordered a lot so I'll walk through it all. For drinks we had the baby Brasa martini (if you like lychee martinis this is a must) and a mezcal drink that was spicy and yummy. We started with the fish tacos, empanadas, tuna tartar, and mango salad. Each plate is relatively small and shareable. Only two tacos come per plate and they're tiny so make sure to get enough for each person. We had the pot roast, the founder, and the steak stir fry as our main dishes. The steak stir fry was my personal favorite with fries and peppers mixed with the steak for a yummy combination with the rice. The pot roast has exquisite creamy mashed potatoes so definitely another favorite. I docked one star Bc we were seated away from the fans and it's a very hot day so I felt a bit humid and warm at the end. Additionally, the tables are a bit small for 4 people so don't order everything at once as you need to keep switching out plates. Overall an excellent spot for drinks or a meal with great customer service and delicious food.

I had high expectations for baby brasa but my experience turned out to be quite underwhelming. First off, the menu isn't very vegetarian friendly, nor do they have many chicken options. I was hoping to order the chicken empanadas or the chicken skewers but they were out of both of those. I ended up having to order the grilled chicken and I was shocked at how small it was for the price I paid. The chicken was pretty simple and tasted like something anyone could easily cook at home. The rice was REALLY salty so that didn't help either. The tables were so wobbly that one of my friends drinks got spilled over. Luckily our waiter was really nice and replaced his drink at no extra charge. I will say the vibe here is pretty nice. All the plants and floor to ceiling glass windows are a nice touch. I just hope they get better at improving their options, portion sizes and making sure the meals are in stock.

Food was great. We got the arepas, octopus, tostada and ceviche. It was just a bit expensive for the portion sizes which were small.

It's so nice and fun inside and we all loved our food and drinks! Also the amazon fried rice was somehow the best fried rice I've ever had!! Update- my friends didn't really like their sushi, they torched it and it tasted like kerosene

Delicious food - the tapas that I enjoyed the most were the fried calamari and parmesan scallops, hands down. Very flavorful. Great temperature. The pot roast also delicious. Outdoor seating was very very tight, but overal the ambiance under the tent with the live music on a Saturday evening was perfect. No reservation, was able to be seated within 15 minutes - it was great.

Still love this place! I will say I popped in for brunch on a Sunday and was expecting a high energy brunch and was surprised with how chill everything was. That's ok, we still had a great time! I was able to try a few more items on the menu: -chicken skewers: these were delicious and both sweet and savory, perfectly cooked - mini arepas: these were DELICIOUS and I love their cute size, probably my favorite new thing I had tried this go-around - avocado/ tuna ceviche: super saucey and extra delicious. We thought we would need chips with this, but it was perfect on its own! - Calamari: this was perfectly crispy/crunchy, it was the biggest portion we had seen and I was super happy with it Service was a bit slow, we had to wave down our server a few times, but it looked like she had a big section. She was very nice. I'll continue to come back! 4.7/5

Omgggggggg!! The Vegan option I had was absolutely Delicious!! No question about it. The outside was just as delightful as the food. I highly recommend if you are in NYC

Baby Brasa has a fabulous covered outdoor seating section on 7th Avenue. My guess is it offers seating for at least 60 people. I went on a Sunday and there was chill live music! My Maragarita Beach was very delicious and refreshing! For my meal, I ordered the calamari salad. It was good, even though I was hoping the calamari was fresh and not fried. I took off a star because our waitress was very rude. Any time we asked a question, it felt like we were inconveniencing her as she would roll her eyes or answer with an attitude.

Had a reservation yesterday and the place was closed. Didn't cared to let us know. Why is it closed and still taking reservations.

Situated near the corner of Greenwich Ave and 7th Ave, Baby Brasa offered us the perfect venue for an excellent summer evening. We sat outside, within the outdoor dining shelter. Drinks were a tad expensive but very tasty. Would recommend the passionfruit martini! Our food was incredibly tasty, though the portions were on the smaller side of average (perhaps the American average, that is). The salmon was very flavorful, as were the shrimp risotto and Amazon fried rice. Everyone loved the food! The staff was friendly attentive. In the heart of the West Village, the crowd is young and stylish, but the venue is versatile enough to cover a range of occasions. Would recommend for a date, or a larger gathering of close friends.

Great Food ! Very delicious dishes! The ambiance is great with cool Latin music ! The drink Chicha Colada is awesome! The Ceviche I highly recommend it ! You will love it ! Very Impressed!

Stopped to eat here yesterday while walking around for pride fest; I love, love, love the outside decor; it gave me summer garden, fairy vibes. It was busy but my friend and I was seated quickly ,and the staff worked delligently to bus the tables; but they were not attentive at all. I asked 5 different staff members for lime/lemon, and no one brought any finally the girl taking orders told me they ran out; I ended up using two edges that came out with my friends' tacos. The fish tacos my friend said we're very good with good seasoning, while my grilled salmon with passion fruit sauce tasted as if lemon juice was squeezed into it, but mixed with the rice it wasn't bad; could've used some salt and pepper though which, I wasn't willing to wait never for. My drink the Margarita beach was strong but needed something sweet to offset the taste which I asked the girl taking orders for but never got. I will def. Visit again hopefully on a slow day to see if the service is better. But all In all it's a nice spot and everyone was friendly.

Sending my review for Baby Brasa a bit late, but better late than never! A friend and I came in on a weekday afternoon close to the end of September 2020. The weather was still nice out so we sat in their outdoor seating area. There were plexiglass barriers between the tables, which was an added bonus to already being outdoors. To start, I ordered the Stay Gold Cocktail. The kick that the spicy passion fruit brought to the drink made it that much better. We ordered the Grilled Chorizo Tapas to share. I would definitely recommend ordering this while waiting for your meals. Although the portion is small, it is so flavorful with the aioli. I've never tried yucca fries before but I really enjoyed it too! I ordered the Vegan Stir Fry as my entrée. The portion is definitely large enough to share between 2 people. I wish I had asked to separate the fried plantains and rice from the rest of the dish, but loved everything about it from the mushrooms to the avocado topping. Shout out to Nick for being such a welcoming server! When the weather gets warm again, I can't wait to come back!

Celebrated my birthday here and everything was fine until it came time to pay (a group of 7) for whatever reason all of a sudden they asked us to pay in cash. Really????? Pretty suspicious not to say when we FIRST sat. Anyway the steak was cold and not to temperature (nor my friends). But they just look cute. Not bad maybe other people have better service because of how they look. Thru did however have a nice serve and kept the drinks coming.

Nice summer evening spot for evening cocktails on beautiful, flowery patio. The rating is mostly for the vibe and ease of grabbing a spot. We only came here for cocktails - we had a ginger cocktail and the pink flamingo which were pretty good. The real party seemed to be inside though we didn't go there. The service was unfortunately disappointing - it was hard to get our server over and we had to ask for things multiple times when we did.

solid place for outdoor dining and no joke, we were actually warm with all the heaters! Waiters were super nice and attentive. Drinks - pink flamingo was definitely most popular, not cheap but super flavorful Grilled octopus was quite good and a decent amount for portion. Also got the sashimi on fire which was super worth it. The guy flamed it in front of us. The best entree we had was the amazon quinoa. The short ribs were excellent. Also got the flounder, but that wasn't that good. wouldn't order again. Definitely the other dishes looked good. don't think you can go wrong with any of the chicken or steaks.

Good food but definitely on the pricier side! We came here for brunch, but the bottomless option was $35 for just the drinks so we decided against it. You do have the option of ordering from the breakfast or regular menu, which is nice. Definitely recommend a reservation (can be made online) if you're going during the weekend! I started off with a pisco sour (really good) and ended up ordering the chicken empanadas off the tapas menu, as well as the tuna avocado ceviche. The empanadas there amazing but tiny (like 2 bites to finish one)! The tuna ceviche wasn't bad but was basically floating in the massive amount of sauce it came with - almost looked like a soup! My friends ordered the Baby Brasa salad (delicious) and the rotisserie chicken stew (very good but a bit expensive for the portion size). Overall, the food was good but we didn't leave super full! Would try again for dinner but maybe not for brunch.

Beautiful brunch spot in west village. Their brunch menu was quite limited and most of us ended up getting the fish tacos. They were amazing but very small that we were still hungry afterwards. Outdoor seating is gorgeous and even the bathroom is super aesthetic!

Came here for dinner. The restaurant had a DJ the music was loud can't really hold a conversation here but the music was good. I had the Lomo saltado and the Brasa Roll both were delicious and filling. Service was okay nothing to rave about. Food came out quickly. I enjoyed this place.
