Food was great, beautiful location, good music. Javi was the bestttt! So nice and helpful. Would definitely come back.

We came here super randomly for my friend's birthday around 10 PM, basically right when the kitchen was closing, but everyone was still so nice and helped us order. We got nachos and a salad and both were sooo good. My friend and I tried the Gipsy Disco first and loved it. For my second drink, our server recommended a Pornstar-style cocktail that I don't think was even on the menu, and I'm so glad I listened. It had a really nice pineapple flavor and was honestly one of my favorite drinks of the night. The vibe here is also so cute. The disco ball, warm lights, tropical decor, everything just feels really fun and photogenic without trying too hard. And the brownie they brought for my friend's birthday... literally one of the best brownies I've ever had - Warm, rich, super chocolatey. We came in so late and still had such a good experience. I definitely want to come back earlier next time. read more

Terrible Customer Service. Tried booking a party for 18 people on a Monday night a couple weeks ago. The young female representative was so cold and unhelpful AND difficult to reach via email and calls. Visited the premise to review and place a deposit but was so turned off from the lack of service that I walked right over to another local business who greeted me with smiles and enthusiasm and had the best experience. Question: How do they pay their bills if they allow a group of 28 to walk away from a Monday night dinner and open bar? read more

Them opening at 5 PM was perfect and more than enough time for me to eat my food and make it back to the other side of Manhattan by 6:30 PM. Unfortunately, I got all the way there only to find out that they decided to open 30 minutes later than what their website and Google information says. read more

We didn't have a reservation and just walked in. The hostess was super nice ( I'm the one who asked about your cute belt!) and gave us a table outside ( perfect ). The ambiance at this place is top tier ! Decor amazing. CYNAR spritz and my friend got the kisses drink YUM! We had the guac, tuna tostadas sweet potatoes and the cauliflower steak. All delish ! Great spot at the seaport ! read more

I went here on Friday for dinner. We had the Gypsy Disco & Mezcal Mule for drinks, the Chorizo Con Queso, Chips & Guacamole for our appetizer, and Carne Asada, and Lamb Birria for our main course. The ambiance was fancy, tropical, and eclectic. The service was amazing, they were very friendly & attentive. I would definitely go back again read more

Everything here was totally excellent! Went here yesterday to celebrate me and my lady's 22nd year anniversary . Gitano did not disappoint... the food was excellent! The ambiance was impeccable.. and it's so easy to forget the rest of the world when you're there. I've been to the Governor's Island location before they moved to manhattan and this place is even better than the last and that says a lot because the other location was amazing as well.. Everyone was dressed well and respectful.. Our waiter Hansel was great with taking his time to make sure we got everything we needed.. I'll be back before the summer is over.. read more

The place is beautiful. Location is Pier 17. Very nice area for sightseeing and close to the Brooklyn Bridge. Very strict rules I imagine when they have parties of 8+. We had 8 in our party. Indoor and outdoor seating. Capabilities to have dj's and live music set. Without it it's just a regular restaurant. New York pricing of course. Views are amazing. Ceviche and guacamole were good. Friends enjoyed their food. Service was spot on. I wished they committed to have more upbeat brunches. They have the capability to make it a party brunch. read more

The ambiance is nice with tasteful decoration and perfect lighting . The dj played a nice selection of music for a Friday night and the crowd was mainly young and at least appeared to be professionals. The vibe that our birthday dinner got was that this is a club!......That serves food. The waitress was attentive but the back of house took maybe a hour and a half to prepare the main course. The sea bass wrapped in a banana leaf was ok and the salmon was described as salty by everyone that ordered it. The DJ was solid. read more

Had lunch on a beautiful warm September Saturday. Not busy at all. The big doors were open to the terrace by the river which was nice. Menu is interesting. The food was good, not amazing. Service was solid. The dress code situation was unclear - in this situation I think casual would have been fine- perhaps stricter at dinner and late night. Restrooms are upstairs - and while they have fancy wave to open door controls, they kept old fashioned hand faucets and no paper towels. read more

I've never really enjoyed any of the gitano locations. This one is very pretty but in the middle of a heat wave, the "beachy, indoor/outdoor" vibe will have you praying for snow. Heatstroke pending. Anyway, the manager DID come around and apologize with a glass of Prosecco. Thank you! A very courteous staff! The food however, was mediocre. Nothing really stood out. The guac and chips were fine. The salmon and rice entree had a lovely crust and the sauce was tasty. The crispy potatoes were fine. The chorizo cheesy dip was ok. The birria quesadilla with lamb really were a snack. 3 mini tacos good for toddlers. My table sampled a lot, from the steak to the mushrooms, to the sea bass (which my friend didn't finish). Not too impressed but not bad either. read more

I was honestly disappointed with my experience here. We ordered the Kiss on the Beach punch bowl and specifically asked for no peppers, but it was still served with peppers. We were also automatically given bottled/still water without being asked whether we wanted tap water, and then were charged for the water afterward. I also ordered guacamole and was charged for extra chips, even though I never requested extra chips. Beyond the billing and order issues, the music was extremely loud, which made it difficult to have a conversation at the table. I also felt that the portion sizes were too small for the prices. Unfortunately, the food itself did not stand out enough in taste to justify the cost. Overall, I expected more for the prices and left feeling that the experience and food were not worth what we paid. read more

We celebrated my birthday at Gitano NYC with a group of 10, and it was everything I hoped for and more. From the moment we arrived, the service was incredibly attentive, warm, and professional. Every detail was taken care of; they even customized the header of the menus for my group. Our servers made sure we felt celebrated and taken care of the entire night. Because we were a larger group, we did family-style dining, which turned out to be perfect. It gave us the chance to try a bit of everything, and honestly, every single dish was a hit. We started with the guacamole and ceviche, both super fresh and full of flavor. For mains, we shared steak, chicken, and bass, all perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The steak was juicy and flavorful, the chicken was tender with just the right amount of char, and the bass was light and flaky with a gorgeous sauce. And then came dessert...chef's kiss. The cheesecake was creamy and not too sweet, and the churros were warm, crisp, and totally addictive. They disappeared in seconds! The ambiance is unmatched. It was lush, tropical, and feels like an escape right in the middle of NYC. It was the perfect backdrop for a birthday celebration, and I honestly can't recommend Gitano enough for a special occasion or a chic night out with friends. Can't wait to go back! read more

Gitano - Cheesecake - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - New York, New York

Beautiful interior. Service was good. The food was flavorful but the portions were average to small and the appetizers were hard to share. Mocktail was delicious. If you want good vibes and fresh food and don't mind paying extra for small portions, this is a spot for you. If you want a good value, not so much. Definitely more of an experience than a true foodie spot although most items were good quality. Skip the roasted cauliflower and get the sea bass or the roasted chicken. read more

Great new spot! Having been a patron of Gitano's in Tulum, Varick St, and Governor's Island, I was excited for them to move into a more permanent, weather-friendly space while keeping the amazing views. The restaurant is stunning and I love the scale of the high ceilings, with tall bars, giant chandeliers, and a massive disco ball to balance. The service was mostly good. The host stand needs to greet people immediately instead of keeping their heads down for several minutes until they are done with what they're doing. All the service staff had vibrant, fun personalities. We felt very taken care of. Noticed the clearing got a bit too aggressive with the servers having tried to grab 3 different cocktails before I was finished. A simple "May I take that for you" instead of touching the drink goes a long way... which was ironic, because when we got up to dance at the end of the night, they left all of the dishes on our table for over an hour. The music was GREAT. I'm a bit of a music snob having worked in the industry for several years, but the first DJ played some of my favorite house tracks and the second DJ kept the energy going. I love that the area near the DJ booth turned into a dance floor at around 11pm. This is a LATE crowd. The restaurant didn't fill up until about 10pm. The cocktails were great, but you MUST like mezcal, because 8 out of 11 of them contain mezcal. lol And finally... the FOOD! It was fantastic. Every dish was complex and bursting with a symphony of flavors that were perfectly balanced. We had the cotija cheese, ceviche, and lobster was sent compliments of the chef! All were fantastic. And it was great to see so many gluten-free options!! I will definitely be back. read more

Very vibey spot in Seaport, doesn't even feel like you're in New York. There's a dj and open air into the dining area which was super nice especially on a warm night. The food was OK, we got the carne asada, guacamole, a queso dish, and churros. read more

I wanted an extravagant night for Halloween so we opted for Gitano's death and opulence dinner and party. We were not disappointed, the dramatic Tulum inspired decor transported us to Mexico, the beautiful views of the Bk bridge brought us back :) the food was plentiful and delicious, outstanding dishes included the ceviche, beet salad, salmon and lemon cheesecake. Not sure if these dishes are on their regular menu but if they are, you couldn't go wrong if you ordered them. The service was wonderful there were a lot of people and I'll admit that our waitress got distracted by larger tables but in order to make it up to us, she gave us two glasses of wine on the house. The party was fun! Great music and the crowd was great. I'll be coming back! read more

Gitano - The patio outside... can't wait to come with friends for a glass of wine again soon! - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - New York, New York

This place is soooo beautiful has sooo much potential for anything, we were so glad to be there BUT then we try to get an outside they say they are understaffed SO if we want is self service. We went to the bar and there was 4 bartenders behind the bar. A tall bartender after 10 min at least he gave us the menu wich was the wrong one then he ignored us for an other 10 min, a server later came to help us with the menu while the tall bartender was just chatting with his friend at the bar, my wife literally has to raise her hand so the other bartender came to help us, I guess their friends r the important. Will never be back even tho I live in the neighborhood read more

This was nothing as it was advertised. Horrible service. Horrible food. The outside area was completely dirty. They sat us at chairs that were completely filled with dog hair. The table had wet cup marks everywhere from the last party probably. Dirt was everywhere on the floor near us. You cannot even get the view they advertise in the outside area as everything is blocked by plants. They sat us in the dinner area first as well when we had reserved for the outside area so it took us a long while to be seated outside. If I could give 0 stars, I definetely would. Really put a taint on my date with my girlfriend as we had high hopes for this restaurant and had to find something else to eat near. Food: 1/5 | Service: 1/5 | Atmosphere: 1/5 read more

I gave it 3-stars because yesterday when me and my friends went for brunch there was no AC and with the heatwave that we've been having in NY, I would've thought that this gorgeous establishment would've had central AC, and the wait service is REALLLLYYYY slow! Great staff but slow; the menu options for their brunch menu is extremely minimal, considering that everything is pricey on the sparse menu. Beautiful restaurant with awesome esthetics for your photo moments for social media. read more

Ambiance is awesome. Huge ceilings and scale with the vibe of an upscale Cancun hot spot. Decor is beautiful with all the palm trees. Open air towards the river was perfect for this summer night. Music was a little loud for our work dinner though. My cocktail was well balanced, but I found it odd they would let me sub gin instead of vodka. Very odd. It's not like they're pre made drinks, right? We enjoyed most of the food. My favs were the mushroom sope, albondigas, and the hamachi crudo. I'd skip the chicken. read more

Gitano NYC is all about atmosphere--lush greenery, oversized woven fixtures, and a sparkling disco ball set the stage for a transportive dining experience. The cocktails are beautifully executed, and the food was a standout. We ordered the whipped cotija, which was rich and velvety, the duck huarache packed with bold flavor and a touch of heat, and the lobster tostada--a must-order. It was bright, fresh, and perfectly balanced. A stylish spot that delivers both ambiance and substance--ideal for a night out that feels a little extra. read more

My friend and I originally came here for the aesthetics. We'd read so many reviews hyping up the vibe that we figured the food would just be a bonus. But honestly? The reviews didn't do this place any justice. The food blew us away--flavorful, fresh, and absolutely worth coming back for. I'm already planning to bring more friends next time! While the prices are on the higher side, you're also paying for an unbeatable view of the Brooklyn Bridge, which makes the experience totally worth it. The service was quick and friendly, and the ambiance? Amazing. At night, they even have a live DJ that takes the vibe to the next level. I'd definitely recommend making a reservation in advance. It gets busy for a reason. Overall, this spot exceeded our expectations. Great food, great vibes, and a view that seals the deal. Can't wait to go back! read more

From the entrance to the floor to ceiling windows the entire scenery is set up beautifully. The checkered tile and draped chandeliers were stunning. They had performers and it was girls night so that was unexpected but fun! The service was pretty good, in the beginning they wanted to take our unfinished food an odd amount of times and then kinda went ghost in the end but we enjoyed our time. The food was spectacular, we ordered only apps and drinks but 10/10. Would recommend! read more

Went to Gitano for brunch and had one of the worst service experiences I've had in a long time. Despite the restaurant being mostly empty, we could barely get a server's attention. Items we ordered never arrived, and no one followed up. My sister has a food allergy, which we clearly communicated multiple times. We specifically asked for her food to be brought directly to her to avoid cross-contamination. They ignored this, and later claimed the kitchen was closing and "got confused." Inexcusable. It gets worse: a server spilled food and drinks all over my sister and her friend--no apology, no acknowledgment. Only when I asked for a manager did one show up, and he claimed he "was going to come over after," as if that made it okay. To top it off, they added a 20% automatic large party gratuity--despite our actual reservation not being for a large party. We happened to run into some friends and sat together, but we were never told this would trigger a fee. Given the awful service, the automatic gratuity felt like a way to justify not trying. Overall, careless, unprofessional, and not worth the hype. Definitely wouldn't return or recommend. read more
