If you visit Boqueria for brunch, treat yourself to the Brunch Feast--you will NOT be disappointed!…read moreIt's a fantastic deal that lets your table share multiple items across the tapas, brunch, and dessert menus. The patio here is adorable, offering a peaceful, cozy retreat from the hustle and bustle of Midtown street and hotel traffic, and the staff is incredibly welcoming and attentive. Don't skip out on their Bloody Mary, either! Everything we ordered was phenomenal, but I highly recommend the albondigas (beef and pork meatballs), patatas bravas (crispy potatoes with garlic aioli), coca de costilla (braised short rib flatbread), and the huevos horneados (eggs baked in a savory chorizo and tomato sauce). To finish on a high note, the dulce de leche churros are an absolute must. This was my first visit, but it definitely won't be my last!

I'm going to have to assume that having a late lunch is the reason why I received such poor…read moreservice. That and a clueless bartender chatting it up with a coworker. After ordering and sitting there a while, I had to ask my Bartender to check on my order the Coworker that he had been talking to and engaging with the entire time, ignoring guests went to check on it and came back to the bar to continue their conversation and never gave me a status as to what was going on with my order on the verge of walking out. My food finally came and she went back to talking to him and he went back to prepping for the evening I suppose, cutting up fruit (that she started to eat by the way as he was prepping. ) The level of unprofessional behavior blew my mind as he never checked on me. I requested hot sauce and as my glass sat there empty ,eventually had to ask for a glass of water disturbing their conversation once again. It's really a shame as the food was pretty good, (particularly the chicken which I added to my salad) but can never make up for the poor service exhibited today. I have no idea who the young lady is hanging out at the bar engaging with the Bartender maybe the owner's daughter, but I have no clue what role she's performing other than distracting him from doing his job.

The food was actually phenomenal... esp when bar food is almost always v mid imo! The mediterranean trip though wasn't my fav... The labneh was a bit watery and the baba ganoush went a little overboard with the tahini (could've used a bit more eggplant). Bang bang cauliflower and kale salad were a 10/10! Servers were also super sweet and constantly checked in on us to make sure everything was good. Vibes: located right above Bartley Dune's, this place had the perfect dark and cozy atmosphere! The seats weren't cramped up like some cocktail bars in nyc. Perfect for any get together~

As soon as I entered, I was greeted by the owner, Lorena. She was very cordial, attentive, gave magnificent recommendations, and added to the enjoyment of the meal. I started with a glass of Red Sangria and was blown away by the size. The glass was almost the size of the Bryant Park fountain, the Sangria was sweet and refreshing, and the fruit was abundant. I ordered two tapas: Croquetas de Jamon Serrano (Ham Croquettes) and the Albondigas (Meatballs). The croquettes were nicely presented, I enjoyed the sauces that adorned each croquette, they had a slightly crunchy outer layer, and the serving was four. The meatballs were amazing. Each ball was flavorful, the serving was EIGHT!, and the accompanying sauce was succulent and was enough to fill every piece of bread. For dessert, I had the EZ Flan. This Flan was LARGE enough to share, thick, and the sweet syrup at the bottom of the plate was delicious. The final item was a Cafe con Leche (Coffee with milk). EZ Paella skyrocketed to my #1 choice for tapas and cannot wait to return with friends, so they can echo my adoration of this eatery. P.S. - Please, do yourself a favor and read the history of EZ Paella, which is on the menu. They made it through COVID and have enjoyed consistent success, since.

This place has so much potential it's honestly a little offensive that it's not living up to it…read more Like... you walk in and you feel like something should be happening. The energy is right there, hovering, but it never actually lands. It's giving "almost iconic" but not quite--like a party that never fully starts. And that's what gets me. Because this bar could EASILY be that spot. The kind people plan their week around. Where are the themed nights? Where's the drama? The chaos? Give me a reason to come back on a random Wednesday. Do a city-event tie-in, a holiday takeover, literally anything that makes it feel alive instead of just... existing. Because right now it feels like a missed opportunity wearing a cute outfit. BUT--let's talk about the one thing they absolutely did not fumble: the view. The VIEW??? Insane. Genuinely stunning. The kind of view that makes you pause mid-sentence and remember you're in New York and not just spiraling in your own life choices. It's carrying the entire experience on its back, respectfully. So yeah. I'd come back... but mostly for the view and the potential. If they ever decide to actually do something with this space? It could be dangerous (in a good way). Until then, it's vibes... just not fully realized ones.

I walked in a week ago to ask to reserve a table for our…read moregroup of 6 for happy hour, and they put me on Resy and told me that they reserved the couch for me. When I arrive on the day, they told me that they dont allow reservation for Happy Hour, I argued that they told me that i can have the couch and it was reserved. then they told me that the other waiter made the mistake, but it was on Resy for the whole week no one contacted me. in the end we had to sit outside because my couch was taken. it was a cold day, after 30mins we saw the couch empty so we moved inside after. It was a very unpleasant experience that they made a mistake but I had to take the hit. the food are mediocre and the happy hour menu definitely got smaller than people posted from before, not many choices for food or drinks. The owner was super nice, but i wish the other servers can step up their games. not my choice to come back again.

But don't let the basement level dissuade you; they really turn their location into a strength. There's a covered "outdoor" section with lots of natural light, and the inside is spacious and modern, with a semi-open kitchen that makes it feel like you're in a place twice its size. The tapas we tried were great. Patatas bravas were crispy on the outside, with a fluffy inside, and maybe a touch too much salt. The hamachi crudo was excellent, with a unique coconut and mango sauce that gave it a touch of sweet to go with the zest. And the pulpo was great, the octopus was well prepared and the sauce was hearty without dominating the taste. The half chicken was the most memorable dish; our server recommended it, and it's clear why. It was unbelievably juicy and tender, with plenty of lemon flavor in every bite. Lots of meat, don't expect a small plate like the other menu items! All in all a good experience in a nice atmosphere, definitely staying on the list for tapas in the future.

To find Debajo you have to find the staircase leading down as this is below ground level - hence the name. MUST GET the patatas bravas - just enough to share between three people but might want to get two orders if your party is more than three. DO NOT GET the queso - it's literally a couple thin slices of cheese, a tiny bowl of almonds, and some tomato mixture. You can add bread for like $7 on top of the original $16 price - actually ridiculous for what you get. The roasted duck breast was flavorful and tender, and the bavette steak was even better. Really great to share as well since they're cut up already. Good vibes in Debajo - would definitely come back again. It was clean and very chic.
