The mac and cheese chicken was excellent & The Bread Pudding was the best to end the night! Highly Recommend... would definitely come again. Come early they fill up quickly and no reservations but worth the wait!

Love the idea of Korean tapas! Every dish is reasonably priced. We got the popcorn chicken,…read moregnocchi, lucky noodle, paella, and the plantain for two people which was enough. The gnocchi and lucky noodle sauces were amazing. The gnocchi had a sauce similar to a teokbokki and had a nice kick. The lucky noodle had great texture and with the sweet onions, had a nice sweet and spicy mix. The popcorn chicken was cooked well. The paella was a nice mix between Spanish and Korean flavors. The only thing we didn't like was the plantain as it was just half a plantain and the dip it came with didn't mix well in my opinion. The drinks tasted stronger than I expected but that ended up with the drinks being a little bitter. Service was nice and quick here! This is a great spot for a girls night out. We came at around 6:30 PM on a Saturday and were able to get seated immediately. Overall, really good!

Debajo had delicious tapas in a relaxing upscale environment…read more They are tucked away in nomad, down a set of nondescript stairs. 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.

Made a reservation here for dinner before a show and it did not disappoint! Pretty quiet when we…read moregot there (I think it had just opened) but were seated in a nice booth. 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.

Everything was so great! Walking in, it's a bit of a small space and fills up pretty quickly…read more Service is lovely, they explain everything and any specials and get everything out super fast. Scallops were so fresh, apple kimchi was delicious. The Dolsot Al-Bap was so yummy, creamy and flavorful. They mix it table side so it's very fresh. Def worth it. Also some of the best bosam ever, very tender and flavorful! Would def come back!

Really really cute and simple interior. All the workers were consistently hospitable…read more The egg rice is really yummy. I love how they added a variety of textured crispies so that you get a very satisfying chew. The crab noodle looks amazing, but I do think it had too heavy of a seafood flavor. I wish there were other strong notes to balance it out. The complementary kimchi is really spicy as well--but really good!

My favorite restaurant in Manhattan. The meat dishes are exquisite and the drinks are so fun…read more Beyond that, the upbeat ambiance, inviting energy, and friendly service is the reason why I keep going back. Thank you Balzem

What an amazing place. I made a reservation for 9pm and because of the snow, the driving was very…read moreslow. I found a spot 1/2 block and the restaurant called me and I told the hostess I was parking. The was nice they called to double check. I walked over and the place was packed. We waited maybe 6 mins and we're seated in the corner by front window. It was freezing and you can feel some chill everytime the door but it was manageable. We got a lychee martini and a montepulciano wine which were both very good. For appetizers we got the octopus salad, and the hummus. Both were delish and fresh!! For dinner, got the branzino which was amazing and my friend got the seafood pasta. The dinner and the hostess checked on us and I believe the manager; a yall guy who was very friendly. He asked us to return. We originally were going to Avra but I liked what I saw on the menu and I believe it was the best choice!! I certainly plan to return. I told me buddy Wil and he just booked Feb 14 at 930pm!!! I hope they treat him well like they did me!!!

This place is a gem and in my neighborhood and I love her…read more Loves: + lovely drink selection + good food; really enjoyed the flatbread but would eat the entire menu if i could?! + fun, friendly, and efficient bartenders + cute indoor and outdoor spaces + love the aesthetic: brick walls, plants, fun colors + really the vibes THE VIBES are delightful It's the right kind of busy where there are other people there but you can still get a seat. It's the right kind of location where it's lowkey but literally blocks from Barclays Center. It's the right kind of vibe where you can go by yourself, with a date, or with a group of friends. So cozy, so inviting, so close to me that I cannot wait to come back. ok ilysm, little pig!!!! x3

Came to Brooklyn for a concert and found this place…read more Fantastic. We got the burrata, which was delicious and very fresh. I had the chicken bacon ranch sandwich, with grilled chicken, which didn't feel heavy at all and was absolutely delicious. The pork belly sandwich that my friend had was good, and he said that it had a spice to it that made it unique. We got a few rounds of the pigtail, and it was light refreshing and very summery. The wait staff was very friendly, and attentive.. and we sat out in the back and it was great. Would recommend if in the area!

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 loved that the HH menu has wine flights for $13. I opted for the dry whites. I then ordered the short rib cavatelli pasta for $20. This was so so good. The right amount of meat. Good flavor. I asked for red pepper flakes but didn't really need them. I do wonder if the dinner portion of the pasta is the same size because that cost $25. Ideally $36 isn't a true happy hour to me per se but I was pleasantly satisfied and want to check them out again especially for their brunch pre-fixe.

Nothing better than finding a hidden gem happy hour spot - and this is just that!…read more Great food deals for options that are more elevated than your typical bar food ( the croquettes and baked brie were delish!) The wine flights are the biggest appeal, offering 3 decent wine pours for only $13 (4 different flight options)! If you are looking for a new happy hour spot - add Aunt Bernie's to your list!
