Buena Vista Restaurant & Bar

The food was absolutely exceptional, far exceeding our expectations. We decided to try both the duck and boar plates, and I must say, each dish was a symphony of flavors that complimented each other beautifully. The duck was perfectly cooked, tender and juicy. The boar plate, on the other hand, had a delightful, robust flavor, beautifully seasoned and served with a selection of sides that perfectly balanced its heartiness. Our waitress truly made the experience even more memorable with her expert recommendations. She suggested some fantastic extras that elevated our meal—each one was a delightful surprise. Not only was she attentive and quick to cater to our needs, but she also understood the perfect balance of being present and giving us the space to fully enjoy our meal and the lovely company we were with. Overall, it was a dining experience that we won't soon forget!

Very quaint, service is top notch. Julian and Maria Ana took great care of me for a fabulous experience. Grilled octopus was delicious as always, and the pork ossobuco was rich and excellent. I always try to come here when I am in Manhattan, I’m never disappointed.

This was a last minute dinner for Valentines day. When I call to see if they had any availability, a guy told me yes and to come amd when we got there it was packed. We had over a 20 minute wait.The hostess did give us a complimentary shot each. The restaurant is so small but the food is actually amazing, so are their drinks.

The place is small adorned with pictures of different Latin American figures and places. The portions were good with great presentation. The paella lacked flavor although it had lots of seafood. The steak was cooked to perfection. The ceviche comes with plantain chips that are an additional charge. Our waitress was pleasant and attentive. The place is pricey. On a negative note we were offered sparkling or still water; no tap. Although I don’t mind paying for a good meal I don’t see a point in paying $22 for two bottles of still water.

This is a little restaurant in Manhattan with lots of photos of Latin America, which make the place very visually interesting while still keeping a sleek look. I'd peg the atmosphere as semi-formal. It had mahogany tables, which gave a very classic feel, but still retains a casual air since you can see the busy kitchen in the back. I think kids would be welcome, and you could still have a casual office lunch here. Onto the food: We had a grilled octopus appetizer with a zesty thin green salad sauce. The octopus was perfectly cooked - not rubbery at all while still having a nice grill pattern on the outside, without the thin end of the leg being too burnt (which happens often). The sauce paired very nicely with the octopus, as the tanginess cut the "round" flavor (I don't know how else to describe it, sorry) that octopus tends to have. We also had a blue Peruvian potato appetizer filled with oxtail. It had an amazing spicy yogurt mayo sauce. Both of these were recommended by the waiter and the recommendations were spot-on. We decided to share a main, and had an Angus steak marinated in papaya juice, again recommended by the waiter. Initially, I was hesitant about the idea of steak going anywhere near any fruit or fruit juice - I'm much more used to savory sauces and marinades with e.g. peppercorn - but honestly, it was the best steak I've had in ages. It was slow-cooked, making it evenly cooked throughout without any char (which is my preference, as I find that char can easily become bitter). I also enjoyed the greens that came with the dish, which is quite rare for me, as I'm rather sensitive to bitter tastes, which greens often have. I couldn't distinctly taste the papaya marinade in the steak, which I think worked in the dish's favor, but I could tell it was different from the usual savory marinades filled with herbs and pepper. The sweet fried plantains we ordered on the side were perfect. They were crunchy on the outside without drying out the inside, and I appreciate that there was no honey drizzled on top, which to me makes fried plantains too sweet. The dish was still sweet enough to feel like dessert, but not overpoweringly so. Food-wise, this was some of the best food I've had in a long time. My compliments to the chef for being bold enough to experiment with the sauces and skilled enough to still have the dishes come out absolutely delicious. It's very difficult to compare the dishes we had here to anywhere else we've been, because besides the plantains, all the dishes were unique in their ingredient combinations and preparations. Service-wise, our waiter's recommendations were absolutely perfect. We did have to ask for water to be refilled, despite being the only diners there (we came at a rather odd-hour, roughly 3 PM), and the lights started being adjusted midway through the meal, but these were very minor things. Because the place is quite small with only so many tables, I would highly recommend making reservations beforehand. A small note on access: The restaurant is long and narrow, and as far as I know, doesn't seem to be accessible. I didn’t see an accessible restroom. Unfortunately, a lot of the places in New York tend to be like that if they're old. This restaurant had a true brick wall on one side, not a facade, so it definitely seems to be an old building. Mind that the floor is a tad slippery, at least when I went. If none of these sound like issues for you, though, I'd highly recommend a visit, as the food is amazing.

We had an amazing experience here! Maria was our waiter and she was amazing!! Definitely be sure to ask for her.. All of the meal items she recommended were phenomenal!! 10/10 I highly recommend trying this place! We will be back whenever we’re in town!!

The atmosphere was nice, it was intimate enough but also casual enough as well. The food options were all amazing. We got the seafood stew and that was out of this world.. the paella was a bigger portion and wow was there a lot of seafood in there. I got the stuffed chicken breast to try as well.. and that was quite delicious! The service was especially good, they told us the wait time if we ordered a popular dish to ensure that we were willing to wait! They have free bread refills with this sauce/paste (red) that was amazing!! I highly recommend a date or just to try this restaurant out if you’re in the area!

We had a wonderful pre-matinee lunch here. We started by sharing "hanger cured pork tenderlin and Manchego, served with Sunnyside quail [eggs], splashed black truffle infusion and over Latin tostoncito [a small tostada]." It was fun and delicious. For our entrees, my husband had "seared Iberian pork chop over roasted scallop potatoes and green apple with organic Lingonberry topping." He said it was the best pork chop he'd ever had. I had "Lobster raviolis with porchine mushroom in a gray goose tomato vodka sauce, sprinkled with rayano parmesano, topped with organic spinach." The veggies took it a step above usual lobster ravioli. Ethan provided impeccable service. The restaurant is clean and decorated with beautiful photos of sights in central and south America. I am giving the restaurant four stars instead of five because we were offered only a dinner menu at lunchtime, even though a lunch menu is on the website. Ordering off dinner menu made for a very pricey and filling lunch.

I had a really nice dining experience here. My friend and I wanted to dine somewhere close to Penn station (11 minute walk) and picked this restaurant. It is on the smaller side so definitely make a reservation. It has a nice, quaint atmosphere. The server was very friendly and attentive. To start we shared the chicken turnovers (empanadas) which came with a tasty dipping sauce. They were really juicy inside. I had the duck and my friend had the skirt steak. Note they no longer fire your plate like some of the photos indicate (not a problem!) the server said the new plates they have cannot handle the fire. The duck was perfectly medium, the fat was rendered well- just the right amount of salt and the plantains under it were delicious. Extremely filling dish, generous portion. Skirt steak isn't my favorite in general - but my friend enjoyed it and said it was a good piece of meat. Personally I thought it could have used a little more salt, but it wasn't my dish so I won't comment. He did eat the entire thing though. The yuca that came with it was ok but not as exciting as the plantain mix that came under my duck. Overall a positive experience and I would recommend

This review is based solely on the host and his awful service. I showed up on time for my reservation for two. Upon arrival he sat us right behind him at a table in front of the door on a cold night. So, of course there's a draft every time people come in and go out. I asked if we could be seated at another table to which he replied he has to check the reservations. 10 minutes later, while we're sitting behind him, no update. I'd also like to note that during most of that time he was just chatting When I finally get his attention he suddenly has an explanation and says we'll be moved to another table. I'd also like to note that during this time two couples were seated immediately at tables for two that we could've moved to, but instead we were ignored. With that, we left.

I have to admit that this place is extraordinarily special. I rarely do this with any place when I travel, but I will, after tonight, have visited the same restaurant three times in the same week. The first night my colleague and I enjoyed two amazing cocktails, and light appetizers. We were blown away by the incredible service and the really wonderful atmosphere. The staff at this restaurant is over-the-top great. Last night I went with two other colleagues, but we enjoyed the full dinner experience. Once again, the staff was incredible! Really going out of their way to make sure we had a great time and the food was fantastic. I am booked again tonight to take other people before going to the theatre. The place is just so great. The staff really does make a difference on help make everything come alive. I'm confident it will be great tonight too. Food has been so good. I thought about it all day long and the wine selection while it's very simple it's very good. I can't say enough about this place and although I'm leaving New York tomorrow, I will definitely put this on the radar to come back again.

The foods were very good. We ordered Cuban tamal, grilled octopus for appetizers, and Chilean seabass and ossobuco. All were so good! We also topped it off with the bread pudding, a must to order. The only drawback I would say is they only offer bottled water (no tap) even though we ordered a bottle of wine for 2.

We came here while visiting New York. We had reservations for 6pm on Oct 19th (Saturday). We arrived around 550pm and were informed that there was a reservation issue and there will be a wait. Richard, the host, informed us that the there was an overbooking issue (I think the manager was off and was the only one with access to turn off the reservation system when fully booked). Richard was nice and continued to have a good demeanor despite the influx of customers and needing to turn away several parties. We opted to wait - we were seated at 6:30pm. They serve bread with tapenade but we still ordered the Mexican guacamole for our appetizer - guacamole was smooth and plantains were perfectly made. For our entrees, we ordered the Pan seared duck magret which was absolutely delicious ! We also ordered the Ossobuco which was tender and flavorful. Lastly, we ordered Spain Paella which had good flavor and a lot of seafood in it. A little too wet compared to the usual Spanish paellas. All entrees had good-sized portions. For dessert, we ordered the Churros which was good but nothing extraordinary. We also ordered the banana bread pudding which was really delicious! No issue with service, however, there is room for improvement. Price is reasonable. The place is small so I strongly recommend making reservations. We walked to this place so I am not able to provide any information about parking. I wanted to give a 4.5 rating, however, since that is not possible, I am giving it 4 stars due to the overbooking issue and just adequate service.

When strolling by in New York on a Sunday early afternoon Buena vista Restaurant is a great choice. Their menu is extensive with a nice variety of items. Service was fast and attentive, food was great, and location was cute and clean. Sandwich I had was awesome but the fries were cold ): aioli was delicious and nice bright salad to accompany. Solid brunch spot.

Very nice service, fillet mignon is a must try. Duck is is also recommended. Drink menu is worthy trying something (Rosemary cognac is very good)

Short review: Recommend the Ossobuco, Duck Magret, Stuffed Potatoes but it was all tasty. I went to this restaurant months ago with a large group as per most of my other reviews. I was going to write a review earlier so I'd remember all the details as dishes were heavily flavored but I forgot (oops.) The food here is unique with a mix of Spain-ish, Caribbean and a few other influences. It most reminds me mostly of Tasca on the UWS though with less rum on the menu and overall much more consistent food. The location is a bit odd being a bit too close to the not so nice side of Port Authority and I think it would work better in the West Village or SoHo or something. The owner was very friendly and the service was solid. To drink, I went with the Buena Vista Style with Bullet rye, figs preserve, ginger simple syrup, and fresh lemon juice which I don't remember much of it outside of the price being reasonable ($13/$14 iirc but it might have been happy hour also) and it not being too sweet. They give crusty bread with a nice dipping sauce which reminded me a bit of a tapenade with tomato, garlic, herbs, and a nuttiness to it. Tasty. From the smaller plates, we got the Blue Peruvian Potato filled with shredded oxtail served with roasted piquillo pepper muslin. This was essentially their very tasty version of papa rellena, a croquette found across Latin America. The potato had a light crisp and the oxtail inside was tender and tasty. The sauce on the side was almost not needed as it was already well balanced but it added some extra flavor. Very tasty with a decent portion for sharing consisting of three relatively small but rich pieces. We got a bunch of mains as per usual. All of the dishes were artfully presented. My favorite of the bunch was the Pan Seared Duck Magret served over sweet plantain with spinach ratatouille in fino tinto and a 25 year aged port reduction. The duck was sliced into many thin slices and was cooked well. The sauce had a good red wine base with some sweetness from the plaintain. Very tasty dish and I would recommend heavily. My next favorite was the Roasted Iberian Pork Ossobuco served over scalloped potatoes with spinach served with green apple radish au jus was also tasty. There was also a bit of rosemary on the side which was burnt at the table which was a fun touch. The meat fell off the bone and the sauce again was rich and complex and the bit of apple on top helped with the richness though I think there able could be a bit more or perhaps it would work better on the side to have with the tender pork. Also with table burnt rosemary was the Angus Rib Eye Steak tenderized with papaya juice and served with roasted lingon potatoes. This was the plainest of the dishes but the steak was cooked perfectly medium rare as preferred. It was served with chimichurri as well as another sauce as well. Just a simple tasty Spanish style bistek. There was finally the Seared Filet of Chilean Sea Bass served over organic pumpkin quenelles with green asparagus and broken Granada pearls. This piece of fish was a bit small compared to the other main dishes but it was still perfectly cooked. The pumpkin had some texture it it and added a bit of sweetness. This was probably the weakest dish due to portion size and as I found the pumpkin a bit sweet to pair with the seabass but still pretty solid. For dessert, I had the banana bread pudding. The portion size was good and the sweetness of the dish was balanced by the pickled fruit on the side (strawberries or raspberries I believe.) Very tasty. I tried a bit of the flan which was more traditional and solid but I preferred mine heavily. I think someone at the end of the table had the Tres Leches and approved it. The location might be a bit odd and the menu might be a bit eclectic but the flavor combinations were well balanced. Just well executed Spanish/Latin Fusion food. Mid 4.

We were visiting New York and looking to have dining experiences we can't have at home. So I consulted Yelp and we found ourselves at this lovely, intimate restaurant around the corner from our hotel. The space is simple with a small assortment of tables and a bar along one side wall. We were promptly greeted with smiles and seated. We were provided menus and asked if we wanted sparkling or still water. The water was brought out along with warm bread and a dipping sauce that was so flavorful we had to have seconds of it. Our waitress was lovely and very helpful providing us with recommendations to order from appetizers, to wine, and dessert. For the appetizers we tried: Cuban Tamal: Filled with crab meat in a shrimp saffron sauce splashed with Albarino wine. Chilean Seabass Ceviche: With Peruvian rocoto and yellow pepper in a tiger milk. For the Entrees: Calamari Ink Linguini: Sautéed with scallop, shrimp, and spinach in a lemongrass creamy Alfredo, sprinkled with pecorino and micro purple basil. Lobster Raviolis: With porchine mushroom in a grey goose tomato vodka sauce, sprinkled with rayano parmesano, topped w/ organic spinach. For dessert: Tres Leche Cake For Wine: Martin Codax Albarino. During our visit our waitress was helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. Every dish was amazing from the preparation, plating, and flavor profile. We chatted with the manager who was also very kind. I highly recommend coming here if you are not in a hurry and are not on a tight budget. it is well worth the visit!

Great Latin fusion. Five of us shared three appetizers, plus each had an entree, and we shared a dessert. Everything was outstanding. Service was a little off as the waiter was talking a lot with other staff.

Great drinks, food, attentive service. We did a Highline walk and visited the Vessel and were heading to the Rockefeller center - perfect spot to relax and get a meal. Loved by locals and visitors.

This is a review for my experience in May 2024. In short, this place is a tourist trap and not worth it. Food: 3/5 Service: Absolute joke/5 Ambiance 2/5 We arrived at the restaurant while it was completely empty in the afternoon. The waitress who took our drink order asked us if we wanted still or sparkling water. My impression was that still water was tap, and that unfortunately footed up a completely unreasonable 14 bucks on our bill. This is a pretty shady tactic, so be mindful of this when ordering here! Another waitress comes to take our food order. My wife ordered the paella and I ordered the lobster ravioli. I waited a good 15-20 mins only to get lobster soup. I called in the waitress who took my order and informed her that I received the wrong item. She argues back by stating "That's not what you said, you said you wanted lobster soup". Not impressed by this reaction at all. She then proceeds to inform the kitchen of the correct order and had left the soup on the table if I wanted to have it. I clearly didn't. The same waitress was very visibly upset and made a small scene with her co-worker a few feet away from me. At this point, I am pretty repelled by this restaurant and would've walked if my wife didn't already receive her meal. 10 mins passed by and the front of house gentlemen had saw that I didn't touch my plate and checked in to see if everything was ok. When I was just about to explain to him what transpired, the same rude waitress intervenes saying he's already taken care of. 20 mins passed and I finally received what I asked for. The food was very average and not worth the price point. All of this can be avoided if the waitress had demonstrated some professionalism. If you can't control your emotions in the workplace, maybe this isn't the job for you! Here's another tip: Read the order back to the diners prior to sending it off to the kitchen! I would give this place a HARD pass. There are so many great restaurants to dine-in, and this clearly isn't one of them.

Located in Hell's Kitchen, this little spot serves Latin cuisine. The interior is nicely decorated and there is a decent amount of space for a bar, booth seating, table and chairs. I decided to get the Seared Iberian Pork Chop, which was served over scalloped potatoes, topped with green apple with Lingonberry. The plating for this was beautiful and quite impressive looking. The pork chop was melt in your mouth tender, juicy, succulent, and incredibly well seasoned. It was especially tasty soaked in the boldly flavorful, slightly sweet sauce. The potatoes were cooked perfectly, while the green apple was charred, giving it a smoky taste. All the ingredients worked well together, making for delicious bites. Service was solid. Our waiter was welcoming. The prices were a bit high, but on par with places in the area. I would return to try the Pan Seared Duck Magret or Seared Filet of Chilean Seabass.

This restaurant overcharges. They show one price on their menu, but they bill those same items for a higher price. This occurred for multiple items. The food is good but this shady behavior ruins the dining experience.

We got the stew and the paella was vert good and so was the portion size. The service was especially good, they told us the wait time if we ordered a popular dish to ensure that we were willing to wait! Nice staff and good ambiance

Really enjoyed the meal and service. We had ribeye and flank steak with drinks. All prepared perfectly.

The food was great. Service was ok and the place looked clean and fashionable. The food and drinks are different yet delicious.

Exceptional food! We came for pre theatre dining- we had the tamale, guacamole, and artichoke appetizers- they were incredibly flavorful and delicious. We also had delicious entrees. I had the duck and it did not disappoint! The service was a little on the slow side, so I recommend allowing plenty of time if you have somewhere to go after...

Visited recently with the hubby; food was phenomenal! Our waiter was attentive but not overbearing and because the space is small, it had a super cozy feel about it. From NH and next time we're in town, we'll be visiting

Just had dinner here tonight- Excellent appetizers, dinner was superb, and the drinks were delicious. 5 star service. We absolutely loved it!

Honestly expected a bit more in flavor and refine ment good but after having been to Portugal and Spain recently felt the flavors were a bit flat. Over a good place. Company was awesome!!! I would say the octopus was 4 stars. The pork loin with manchego eh.

A lot of 5 star dishes - but ultimately the paella was just okay and this is a Spanish resto... The apps are great - the sea bass ceviche was a large portion of very fresh and well-marinated fish. The baby calamari were almost too cute to eat...almost... We were served okay bread with a homemade side sauce that was so good we put it on the calamari, even though it was fine without it. It was a mash of tomatoes, capers, olives and some mild spices. The duck magret was very enjoyable - there were a lot of things going on with the plate - fruit, potatoes, some sauce...normally that can bother me but somehow it all worked. The tres leches cake was competent, the churros were yummy but felt kind of heavy after our meal. The restaurant is small, it had a pleasant but not fantastic ambiance. the service was quite good. Finally, the paella. It just wasn't all that - the seafood was perfectly cooked but the rice didn't have any seafood flavor. It tasted like everything was cooked separately and then tossed together at the last minute. It wasn't terrible but not the best.

Amazing food, simply one of the best spots I've had in NYC. You wouldn't expect the level of dining you're getting based off the location and decor. The tamal is to die for, I could have 3 of those for a meal honestly. Having had a couple bites of a few different dishes here, I don't think you can go wrong with ordering anything on the menu.

I'll judge this place via the owner's description: "Our aim is to provide first class hospitality along with a memorable culinary experience. From start to finish, you will receive exceptional customer service, mouth-watering food, exotic cocktails and an extensive wine list." Ok customer service. waitress forgot to mention the specials. They did change the plates between the appetizer and the main. For appetizer, get the blue peruvian potato ball: creamy, sweet, spicy and crisp with an shredded oxtail filling. tasty. for the main we got the seafood paella. good enough for 2 people. decent mix of seafood. So the food was memorable and mouth-watering. Decent looking cocktails for $15 a piece. Wine list is not extensive and seems to have contracted, so only a few wines are offered. You can get a bottle of caymus cabernet for $173 which seems pretty good price wise if you want to splurge. Based on prior wine selectons, the wines seem to have a good value tilt. For dessert, the banana pudding was quite good as well. Definitely some fine and memorable Latin food!

We had come to NYC for some pre-Christmas enjoyment and the general Big Apple in the Holidays experience. We were staying at a hotel locally near 40th and 9th. We had not made particular plans for that evening's dinner, and found this little place was right around the corner. I had Googled for restaurants near us, and this one had some nice reviews as well as very interesting menu options. Just around the corner from the hotel, we were greeted by one of the staff who asked if we had a reservation. We didn't. However, there was a nice little table in the back near the kitchen where we were sat. We ordered beverages and were offered some fresh bread as well. I had the sparkling water and she had a glass of Alta Vista Estate Torrontés 2019. The bread was absolutely divine. A small dipping oil made for a perfect accompaniment as well. We sat and enjoyed watching the staff and people. Since we were fairly close to the kitchen, it was great to see the kitchen staff in action. It was like a well-oiled machine between 3 men who worked in tandem in putting together each dish from beginning to end. Where one started, another would finish, until the final product was sat on the pickup area and promptly received by the server. It was almost mesmerizing to watch. I had ordered the Pan Seared Duck Magret, and she ordered the Lobster Raviolis. I could see the kitchen staff kick into action once again with their amazing synchronicity and skill. Within a few minutes our order had been completed and was delivered to our table. The presentation of both plates was absolutely beautiful and definitely a work of art. Tender pieces of duck that were carefully arranged over a ratatouille of spinach and plantain drizzled with colorful oils and sauce. It was gorgeous. Here ravioli was nicely prepared with a hearty blend of creamy tomato sauce, mushrooms, and perfectly prepared raviolis. Each bite was simply amazing. The duck lacked any taste of gaminess, and the fat was rendered down nicely. The sauce made for the perfect contribution to each bite, as did the plantain and spinach. Tasting her ravioli, I can assure you this was equally an experience to the palate; tomato sauce that was perfectly balanced, rich, and creamy. Simply wonderful! We decided on the Tres Leches cake for dessert to split between us. It was a perfect end to a perfect dinner - rich and moist cake with sweetness through each bite. Again, the presentation was beautiful. Of course, I can't help but recommend BuenaVista Restaurant to anyone coming to the area. From beginning to end, the entire experience was wonderful! Even being near the kitchen was an amazing show in of itself. The staff were all tremendously nice and helpful, and the restaurant is nicely convenient as well. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys great food with a latin flair. You won't be disappointed!!

We were in NYC because my wife is running the United Airlines NYC Half Marathon.We were staying at a hotel nearby and looking for a place close by to eat.After searching for restaurants closer to Times Square I stumbled upon Buena Vista and was glad I did! We were greeted by Elvis and were charmed by the quaint ambience.Our waiter Esteban provided outstanding service and the food was impeccable.Kudos to the bartender for mixing and outstanding Old Fashioned.I highly recommend this restaurant for its del food and great service!

A really terrific find. The food is beautifully seasoned and presented well. Service is professional and knowledgeable. It is intimate, relatively quiet, and a place that lets you relax and forget the chaos of the city. Highly recommend.

Food was very good - had grilled octopus and paella; found this place on YELP near my hotel during a quick 2 day trip to NYC. Only downside - service was mediocre - maybe because I was dining alone?

This is one of my top 5 places in the area. Been here twice and 100% satisfied each time. Yes some items like the steak are a little on the pricey side but we'll worth it. Credit to Starlin for making our last experience fun. Order: Mexican guacamole, Steak (with side of rice) and churro for dessert and you'll be a happy person.

Not as amazing as the reviews make it out to be! We were briefly greeted at the door only to be ignored for 5 minutes after, whilst the waiter searched for somewhere to sit us (we had made a reservation). He gave us the worst table by the door and told us someone had just walked in and sat themselves at our "reserved table"... He said he would make it up to us with the experience but sadly did not. The service was poor, not attentive at all, had to ask for a drinks menu and to order drinks throughout the night, we also had to remind them about drinks we had ordered as we waited 20 minutes for a glass of wine which they'd clearly forgot about. They also free pour the wine, they don't measure it, which I don't have an issue with if you give everyone the same generous amount - however I noticed my glass was given to me half as full as the other tables around us. To be fair the food was decent which made us feel better but the lack of service really lets them down - even though they automatically add a tip onto the bill. Expected better!! Not worth the prices they charge sadly.

Hello today met Elvis the best manager in NY this man took the time to make our experience perfect the food is incredible and the bars is on point

Small spot. Great food. Very unique but never disappointed in anything I tried. All super delicious. Nice staff.

Ill start by saying that the high reviews of this place are well deserved. My friend and i were thoroughly impressed by the delicious food we were served. Appetizer: we ordered the Tuna brosquetta (Spelling may not be correct), which is a sliced seared tuna steak with a very nutty sesame seed exterior. It was sever over some very sweet and delicious vegetables, and a sauce that really brought everything together. Main course: We ordered the squid ink linguine with seafood and the fried chilean seabass. The linguine was very dark to the point that it was hard to identify the seafood in the dish but i liked the sudden surprise of finding a shrimp or scallop in the dish. The chilean seabass was sweet and flakey and was served on top of asparagus and what i believe was mashed pumpkin which in my opinion is much tastier than mashed potatoes. On top were these sweet and tarty berries(maybe cranberry) that really complimented the fish. I really like this place and i was surprised about the quality of the food, it's definitely a place i would recommend to others who need a place to dine in that area.

Great experience. From the moment Elvis meets you at the door you are in for a friendly and delicious experience. Nice win selection with many great options. Good cocktails and great service. The guacamole was great. The Ceviche was tasty as well. Servers were very friendly and helpful on meal selections. Lots of great options and we loved our Sea Bass and the pork chop was terrific as well. Returning for sure when near Times Square. Go and you will have a great meal and great experience.

This spot rocks. Food is amazing (the salmon fish was one of my favorite salmons I've ever had), drinks are great, service isn't bad it's just disorganized in a lovable way. We checked it out as a group of 4 on the way to an event at MSG... may do that again, great spot

Yes, yes, and yes! The quality of service was incredible and entrees were delicious, but the most memorable part of this dining experience was the appetizers. The appetizers were culinary heaven: 1. The homemade guacamole and chips were UH-MAZING. The fresh, velvety guacamole included finely chopped onion which added a subtle crunch, while the lime juice contributed a refreshing tang that balanced the creaminess of the avocados flawlessly. The minced garlic added a pleasant, aromatic note, and the chopped cilantro provided a touch of herbaceousness that enhanced the overall taste. This paired with the crispy, perfectly-salted chips was a classy, elevated take on the standard "chips n guac". 2. The blue Peruvian potato and oxtail was also notable (and my dad's favorite). Each bite was a delightful combination of rich, tender meat and the earthy, creamy texture of the potato. The flavors blended harmoniously, creating a symphony of taste that left me craving more! The chef really knows what they're doing with flavor combos. 3. The sushi tuna was beautifully arranged over a bed of diced sweet plantains. The sweet plantain added a delightful contrast, providing a soft and slightly sweet base for the tuna to shine. The ginger melaza glaze was the perfect finishing touch to the dish. Its subtle sweetness and aromatic ginger undertones complemented the flavors of the tuna and plantain nicely. Those were just my favorites, but every dish we had was delicious! Overall, it was a wonderful experience. It is pricey, but it will be worth every cent with the yummy food and awesome service!

Some of the best food I've had in a while. The duck is amazing. Just amazing. And the banana bread pudding was amazing as well.

When we were first seated, they asked if we were headed to the theater. We said we weren't, so we did not have to rush. We really wanted to enjoy our cocktails, and the bartender's flair as he mixed the drinks. The best description of the food in this restaurant is Latin Fusion. My husband had the osso buco, and I had the Iberian pork chop. Both were excellent. Service was great.

TLDR: Great spot for bottomless brunch! The appetizers were solid, with the chicken empanada being very flavorful and crunchy. The salmon main dish was presented beautifully and the churros rounded out the meal. Its a great value for 3 courses and bottomless mimosas/sangria.

Presentation of dishes A+. Very solid and creative food. Service was mixed at best -- keystone cops at worst. Couldn't find our reservation, wouldn't give us our preferred table (which went empty all night), and server took a drink before i finished it (but replaced it). Definitely some hiccups but food made up for it.

Came here during a corporate trip to NYC. The food was awesome and the staff were very accommodating. Everyone at my table agreed. We ordered a bottle of white wine as well which was okay. I would definitely come here and get the duck as an entree again. I also tried my friend's steak and it was equally good. I liked the dimmed lighting inside although the space is a little cramped. We were set up by the door, which was fine but the cold air would blow through whenever someone opened it. Overall the inside was cozy.

Came here for dinner with a party of seven and we LOVED the food, our waiter and the whole experience! Most of us had the guava margarita that was delicious. We also tried a whole slew of the apps and entrees. I'm not even going to list them all becausse there wasn't a single miss--every dish was delicious. . . which given the foodie bunch we are is saying a lot. The server was really terrific and surprised our birthday girl with tres leches cake at the end. We had to run to a show so didn't linger. If you need a pre-theater restaurant, this is your new place to go!

I had the duck Magret and it was a top 10 meal for my whole life. Service was great. Duck was great.

This is a good place to eat the service was amazing and the food was amazing. The only thing I did not like about it is that they cost you a lot for water but don't tell you that it cost extra and they just give you water. But other than that this restaurant is very good I very much recommend. It's also good if you are looking for calmer setter while you eat. I give the place an 8.5 out of 10 so I recommend it

The food was amazing. Portions could be a little bigger for entree. But the food was amazing and on point. Delicious appetizers, main, and dessert.

Great little spot--wine markup very reasonable (try the Terrazas Grand Malbec), and the oxtail appetizer, duck, and pork chop were exceptional. Service was great and unobtrusive.

If I will give a zero star I will. This place is expensive with potion size too small. For 2 adults and a kid, paying 200+ with tip and tax was excessive when food and service left much to be desired. Charged $14 for tap water; maybe it was the language barrier but it seems at times our waitress didn't understand English. On hindsight we should have clarified too. Overall not a good experience

Delicious dinner! Yummy guacamole, good Manhattan cocktail and delicious sea bass over pumpkin mash. arrive was great and helped us make the right choices.

Another YELP gem. Never would have found this tiny hidden spot otherwise and glad I did. The duck was fantastic as were the cocktails. Small place with a local feel. Will certainly be back.
