    Food - Serrano ham grilled cheese - 10/10 Chicken wings - 9/10 Market salad - 9/10 Chicken skewers - 9/10 Excellent food! Service - 10/10 Ambiance - Need better seating, bar seating was uncomfortable. Otherwise nice place.

    Seafood Paella
    Yalissa C.

    Boqueria is a good spot to go if you're looking to share tapas and try a variety of dishes in a relaxed setting. I had the Tabla de Quesos y Embutidos, which had a nice assortment of fresh cheeses and cured meats, paired with a glass of prosecco. The paella de mariscos was also a decent choice the seafood tasted fresh and paired nicely with the creamy rice. The menu is well rounded, so there really is something for everyone

    Happy hour menu

    Good happy hour options! We've tried the sangria, croquetas de jamón and pan con tomate. Everything was good. It was a little disappointing that they run out of Spanish beer (Estrella Galicia) and our server was a little slow but everything else was fine!

    We went to Boqueria Soho to celebrate our dating anniversary. It was super packed at 8:30 on a Friday, so I'm really glad we made a reservation. The ambiance wasn't too fancy but also not too casual. Some people were dressed up, but you could definitely get away with jeans and a cute top. They first sat us at the bar, but there was a prosciutto slicer right in front of us, so we barely had any counter space and felt a little crammed. Our waitress was super sweet and immediately noticed. As soon as a spot opened up at the end of a long table, she moved us, which we really appreciated. They recommend two to three tapas per person, so we ordered five between the two of us. We got the gambas al ajillo, the Caesar salad with anchovies, the patatas bravas, the atún canario, and the pintxos morunos. I usually lean toward seafood, especially crudos, but I wasn't the biggest fan of the fish here. Neither the anchovies nor the tuna tasted particularly fresh. They weren't bad, just not something I'd seek out again. The potatoes and shrimp were both delicious. They were generously portioned and super flavorful. The lamb skewers were the star of the night. They weren't too gamey and were really well balanced and packed with flavor. Overall I'd give the meal a four out of five, mostly because the fish was underwhelming, but everything else was great.

    Vegetable Paella

    Definitely disappointed with the food. I gave 4 stars for the sangria, great service and nice ambiance. Beautiful restaurant. My friends and I opted for the $52/person Chef's Menu "The Classics" option. We were served a bunch of different tapas. Notably was this super bland salad called Ensalada Vasca, it had literally nothing on it except dressing... We were very disappointed with the vegetable paella; the veggies were bland and the couscous was overcooked, some burnt. We all agreed it was more like a veggie fried rice anyone could make at home. We did like the Croquetas de Setas and Pintxos Morunos, those were tasty! Average were the Patatas Bravas, Shishito Peppers and Albondigas. The chocolate sauce for the churros was runny like soup. Staff was accommodating for a shrimp allergy and conscious of cross-contamination, which we appreciated! Our waiter, Franklin, was very attentive and friendly. Our food and drinks kept coming quickly, which we appreciated! I probably wouldn't recommend this restaurant to a friend for an important dinner. For drinks and vibes, it's great.

    Short Rib Flatbread

    Couldn't take too many pictures because I was too focused on how AMAZING this food was! We got a bunch of tapas for the table so we tried a ton of- blue cheese stuffed dates wrapped in bacon, ham and mushroom croquettes, short rib flatbread, fried potatoes, garlic shrimp, Brussel sprouts and more! I would say my favorites were the garlic shrimp and the dates! The sangria was also delicious. We had a reservation for 5:00 on a Tuesday and by the time we left the place was full. Clearly a popular spot for their food, their service was also very helpful and attentive. Great energy in the place - I loved the decor/setup.

    Boqueria in SoHo delivered an outstanding brunch experience that easily justified the $29-per-person family-style feast. We went for the full brunch spread, starting with tapas that included tortilla española and datiles con beicon (dates wrapped in bacon), perfectly sweet and savory. For the main brunch course, we had the short rib flatbread, huevos estrellados, and Boqueria bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches, all cooked and seasoned beautifully. Dessert was churros with Nutella, a classic finish that capped everything off just right. The meal served as our one big meal for the day, and while it was more than enough food, the pacing of the courses was so well done that it never felt overwhelming. The service was superb from start to finish. Both the servers and hostess were attentive and professional, balancing efficiency with genuine warmth. The food leaned a little on the heavy side, but that's part of what makes Boqueria's brunch satisfying, rich, flavorful, and made to linger over. We were full the rest of the day. The vibe was exactly what you'd expect from SoHo on a weekend: a stylish, easy mix of shoppers, locals, and visitors taking a break from the bustle. It felt lively without being rushed, comfortable without trying too hard. I went with my soulmate, and we both agreed this is a spot we'd absolutely return to. Boqueria SoHo is a perfect choice for a date, a meet-up, or any time you want to relax over a well-paced, high-quality brunch in one of Manhattan's best neighborhoods.

    Went for happy hour with a couple friends. Made a reservation to sit outside on a gorgeous day. We really enjoyed the happy hour menu! Would definitely do it again.

    Hamburguesa with side salad
    Iyanla M.

    Of course I'm back! Stopped in for lunch and once again--vibes immaculate. The playlist was hitting, the service was fast, and I had the pleasure of being helped by Jeffery, who was super nice and attentive without hovering. I ordered the Hamburguesa with a side salad and whew--chef's kiss. The burger was so well-seasoned, and I would've never guessed that bacon jam could pair so perfectly, but it absolutely slaps. The side salad wasn't an afterthought either--fresh, crisp, and perfectly tossed with just the right amount of dressing. 10/10 would recommend. Can't wait to come back again (because we all know I will).

    Went here awhile ago for my friend's last year of the decade partial celebration. This place is so cute and tapas place. We ordered bunch of dishes and drinks to share and it was delicious. Every dish is just simply tasty and the drinks are wonderful. Great service since we're there early. Will comeback for more when we're in the neighborhood for sure.

    "You know my mother made all this Paella... It's a Spanish dish. It's a mlange of fish, an meat with rice. Very tasty." -George Costanza, Seinfeld da Scene: After a long day walking around Chinatown, Little Italy and Nolita, we head to SOHO for sangria and tapas. Great space, high ceilings, busy, bustling and vibey... da Grub: Hit all the good stuff starting with a pitcher of blanca sangria and plate of hand-carved Jamón Ibérico, decadent... huge difference from Serrano. Pan Con Tomate, artichoke hearts, Gildas & Gambas were pretty standard... but the pickled anchovies, potato tortilla, and Picanha & chimichurri were off the hook good! da Service: Jose was quick and funny, plus he paired a great glass of Cesca Vincent to go with the steak. Check 'em out when in SOHO!

    I love coming here. It actually tastes authentic spanish and the vibe is good. Great wine selection. Great octopus. Make sure to make a reservation because it does get packed.

    Bocata De Escalivada
    Leyang Z.

    It was my first time to try their lunch menu and it was not disappointing at all! The lunch menu had a quite a few choices of sandwiches and bowls. I ordered the Bocata De Escalivada and Pintxos Morunos. Both dishes were delicious. The first dish was a sandwich version of their Escalivada (grilled eggplant, peppers, onions, yogurt) plate. I ordered it because I was curious about how this combination was for a sandwich. Surprising it was great: the grilled baguette was crispy and hot. The roasted veggie was chilled so that it was refreshing. The yogurt spread added more flavors to it. I chose salad as my side. The second dish was basically lamb skewers on a piece of sourdough. The lamb was served medium. Very tender. I also liked the salsa on top of it (more like chopped herbs than the Mexican salsa). However, it might be better if they drain some water/fat from the lamb to prevent the bread below to be wet. Service was great as well. My server was enjoyed chatting with diners very much. He also recommended dishes and described how they were cooked to me. Food also came out in reasonable time. Definitely a good place for lunch!

    Is there a bottomless mimosa option?

    Thank you for reaching out. We do offer bottomless mimosa on our brunch menu. The brunch menu is offered Saturday and Sunday till 4pm.

    Are they still doing the bottomless brunch on weekends?

    Can you order the brunch paella separately, without ordering the brunch feast?

    Yes!

    What are the hours for brunch?

    Is the paella a small portion or is it good for 2 people?

    It's big enough for 2. The large fed 5 of us.

    Is there a happy hour?

    Yes and fair priced

    How casual is the attire? Trying to figure out if I can get away with shorts and a button up, or if jeans are necessary

    I don't think they enforce anything but people are a little dressy, especially in the evening. So I would say maybe for lunch it is okay but for evening wear full pants/slacks.

Lots of shareable apps like quesadillas, wings, shrimp, mozzarella sticks, fries, sliders, nachos. They also have burgers. Again, not fancy, not mind-blowing.

    Convenient pre-theater location, but the food doesn't leave a lasting impression…read more I went to Fushimi in Midtown on a Friday evening before seeing SIX. I made a reservation ahead of time because I figured the bar area might be packed with the pre-theater crowd. I was initially drawn to Fushimi because of its proximity to the theater district, decent reviews, and its location right near the A train exit.The restaurant is somewhat hidden and looks small from the outside. Once you walk through the door, however, there's a surprisingly long hallway lined with red hanging banners that leads into a beautiful, modern dining room. The atmosphere was quiet and low-key, with predominantly Beatles music playing in the background.We checked in for our reservation, but the restaurant was empty, so we decided to sit at the bar to take advantage of their 4-7 p.m. happy hour, which offers several discounted food and alcohol options that aren't available to patrons who sit in the main dining room.There was only one bartender working. She did her job, but I wouldn't describe her as particularly attentive or friendly, especially considering we were her only customers for the hour and 15 minutes we were there.We ordered two cocktails. I had a sweet martini, and my date had a passion fruit margarita with Tajín. Thankfully, the drinks were delicious sweet, strong, and probably the highlight of our visit. We ended up having two each during our early pre-theater dinner.For food, we ordered Korean wings, crispy rice with spicy tuna, filet mignon with crispy garlic chips, and a lobster roll.Overall, the food was just okay. Nothing was bad, but nothing was particularly memorable or flavorful enough to make me want to come back.The pros: The wings were very crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The filet mignon itself was tender. The crispy rice was nicely crispy without being overdone. The cocktails were well balanced. The cons: The filet mignon with crispy garlic chips was probably my biggest disappointment. The description was misleading. It came as two very small skewers of meat with no sauce and barely any seasoning on the steak. The "crispy garlic chips" were essentially a few random flakes of (? not sure what) sprinkled on top of the tiny meat skewers. The dish looked underwhelming and lacked flavor. Knowing what I know now, I definitely wouldn't order it again.I love crispy rice with spicy tuna, so I had high hopes for that dish. Unfortunately, the spicy tuna didn't taste particularly spicy or fresh.The lobster roll looked beautiful. There was definitely lobster both inside and on top of the roll, but again, the flavors just didn't wow me. It was visually appealing but ultimately forgettable.The wings were honestly the best food we ordered, but even those weren't what I expected from something labeled Korean wings. I expect Korean style wings to be sticky, saucy, and full of flavor, the kind that leave you with sauce all over your fingers. These were fried beautifully but were exceptionally bland. There was a dipping sauce with some heat, but it didn't have enough flavor to make the dish exciting. Bottom line:Fushimi is in a very convenient location for a pre-theater meal, and the restaurant itself is beautiful and comfortable. The cocktails were also pretty good. Unfortunately, the food and service were mediocre, especially considering the price.The reviews for this place definitely seem to vary, but based on my experience, if you're looking for sushi or Asian-inspired dishes with bold flavors and those little pops of flavor that make a meal memorable, I'd probably pass on this one.For me, this was a one and done.

We sat at the bar. Service was a bit mixed. The bartender we had wasn't very friendly, but we did get our drinks without issue. We ordered a couple of Mexican mules and a martini. The martini was fabulous -- definitely the standout. Unfortunately, the mules were not great. I was also hoping for some specialty or holiday cocktails, but there weren't any.

The bar is not marked by a sign either. What may have been a hidden secret in the past is not so much a secret these days. They take reservations over phone up to one week in advance. There's a number of tables and booth seating, and a few bar seats available for a walk in. The menu of food is pretty decent though lacking in many vegetarian or vegan options. I opted for a grilled cheese sans the bacon and it was good. The grilled cheese has goat cheese in it which may not be for every one. I had an aviation drink and a glass of riesling. The cocktail was pretty standard. The wine was good. Service was generally good and attentive at the bar. The host in the front was kind. It seems like they have a coat check which I did not use. There is one bathroom in the back. The bar is definitely more crowded pre and post theater. It was packed 5pm-7pm but around 7pm, it became noticeably quiet and the bar emptied out. I'd suggest coming here while a show is playing to avoid a crowd. However, even with a packed house, the bar was not loud. Of course, if you prefer a pre or post theater cocktail, I'd recommend a reservation to guarantee entry. While this bar won't be known for its drinks or food, I think much of the allure stems from the location and the reputation for attracting famous clientele. It's a pretty chill place in the midst of crazy Times Square, so I'd definitely come back. While it may attract some tourists (if they find out about it), it generally seemed to cater to the wider New York crowd (I.e Manhattanites but also Westchester folk, Long Islanders, New Jerseyans driving in, etc)

We arrived around 4:00 between brunch and dinner, so it was fairly quiet until 5:00 when lots of families arrived. (I think there's a DJ later on as well). My dinner (nicely charred cheeseburger, crispy fries and "Buddy the Elf" cocktail) was yum; especially loved their signature 16 layer cake done up in red and green. Highly recommend this place for kids of all ages!

    Edit: I was surprised to receive such mean-spirited response from the business owner. It speaks…read morevolume, and I see he responded negatively to others. Instead of taking the review as constructive criticism and maybe improve their service, he decided to be hateful. The food was "nice" but not great. Didn't receive what we ordered, and service was nonexistent. The business owner's response is very disappointing. In late November, we went to Bacall's to soak up the holiday spirit. And my goodness, they was full of holiday spirit!!! From the moment we walked in, the inside was decked out with crazy amount of decorations. You go up the staircase to upper level to the main dining area. It was called Frosty's Christmas Bar inside the Bacall's, and it sure was spectacular. Decoration in every inch of the place, from top to bottom. In addition to that, they had a few photo-op spots, which were really fun too. We ordered some drinks, Meet Me at Bacall's, Espresso Martini, and White Sangria. I liked that they had some blueberries in the Meet Me at Bacall's and the White Sangria. All the drinks were all nice and tasty, and a good portion too. For food, one of us ordered Braised Short Rib, but we somehow received Filet Mignon... Since the server never really came back to check on us, we just had that. It was a nice dish, although it was not what we ordered. Linguini Vongole was nice, the pasta was cooked well, coated in the flavorful sauce. It had a good amount of clams. Steak Frites was tasty. The steak was cooked just the way I wanted, juicy and flavorful. It was a nice sized steak, very filling too. The fries were addictive, went great with the steak. For dessert, I was very interested in their layer cake. I saw a few pictures of it, and looked really good. Bacall's 16 Layer Cream Cake looked different from the pictures I saw, which was all ivory color. The one we received was festive with red and green, perfect for holiday dessert. Unfortunately, it only looked good. Each layer of cake was a bit tough, and not as creamy as I thought it would be. Good thing we also ordered Japanese Cheesecake, because it was quite good. I was very curious what makes it "Japanese" cheesecake. When it arrived, I got it. The cake was round and stacked on top of each other, looks like popular and famous Japanese soufflé pancakes. We had a fun dinner there, with overload of holiday decorations. The atmosphere was perfect to take in the holiday spirit. However, we couldn't say the same for the service. At the beginning, it was ok, but then we felt like we were forgotten by our waiter. The place was not that busy when we visited... He never really came by to check on us, or brough our check. We had to get whoever else around to get our check. When we saw that they already included 20% tip to the check, although there were just three of us, we understood the bad service. If they thought they are going to get 20% tip regardless, then they might think they don't need to provide good service... Bringing the wrong dish, never checking on us, etc. Regardless to say, we were disappointed with the service. But, it was a fun place to go visit during the holiday season.
