Really cute spot in Williamsburg that has the most amazing brunch deal! For $20 you get an entree, a drink (I got a Bloody Mary, my friend got a glass of wine), and a cup of coffee or tea. I was honestly floored when I first heard about this deal because for the same price you can get one (1) cocktail at a different restaurant. Not to mention that the food is great - we split the Chivito Completo and the Churrasco a Caballo and they were both delicious and generously served. Fries were yummy, Bloody Mary was tasty, and the coffee at the end was a great finisher. I will say that both our entrees had an additional fee of $1-2, but considering the entrees alone are $17 and $20 respectively, still a steal in my book. They also have a good happy hour and a cute little indoor patio in the back! read more

Went there with a group and the 3 of us were Uruguayan. We were all surprised to see that the "authentic Uruguayan restaurant" fried their empanadas instead of grilling / baking them. In our combined 75+ years in Uruguay we never had a fried empanada. Same with the "Uruguayan sausage" which wasn't served like it is in Uruguay. The provolone cheese was super greasy as well. We also had a Chivito and Milanesa, both average (if that). Service was okay-ish, but there was nothing Uruguayan in the restaurant, as even the music seemed to be caribbean as well. read more

Adorable and rustic environment with a fantastic staff and two fantastic areas outside. The food is fantastic - I had the blood sausage - so good! One of the best kept brunch spots with a 20 dollar prefix. Includes a main, wine, and coffee. The wine list focuses on Uruguay- as it should!! So it's a good place to try something new! Only con (which tbh isn't a real con for me) is they only take cash and Amex. read more

I stopped here for some empanadas and truly that's the only thing I ended up getting.. but they were THAT good that I'm writing a whole review about it LOL They're not no deli empanadas let me tell you! Super quality, flaky, and bite worthy shell, full of whatever filling you choose. I'd highly recommend the chicken one and especially the 3 cheese one. That dipping sauce is to die for as well. Looking at the rest of their menu, this place seems bomb. I'll have to try other things and update this review... but for now -- TRY THEIR EMPANADAS! read more

This place is great for date nights, with friends, or even a coworker. It's dark and moody. The drinks are fantastic! We tried three of there specialty drinks and they were amazing!!!! I had the pasta of the day and my friend had the chicken with fries. Both were great, very well seasoned. For a Wednesday night it had many patrons, and the service was great! Be mindful they are a CASH or Amex only spot. But it's a good time and great vibes. See you soon Tabare! read more

Love this place! This is my second time here and they never miss. We arrived at 5pm right when they opened and there was plenty of space, no reservation needed. If you're coming later, i would recommend calling ahead to see what kind of space they have because they do tend to get crowded and it's a small place. Their happy hour is great for drinks and their menu is super diverse. My glass of wine was $6 and i think the cocktail was $8 or maybe $10! Hard to beat that in nyc, especially for the quality. The service is friendly and the ambience is perfect for a date night. It's a bit dark inside, i know that's the vibe they're going for but the restaurant just needs a tiny bit more light so you can see what you're eating a little more. The churrasco was delicious, juicy, and cooked to the exact temperature i asked for. Same goes for the ribeye. For an app, we got empanadas (not pictured here) which were delicious also and perfect to start off without making you too full. The prices are super reasonable for the quality of the food/experience and I'm already excited to go back to try some new menu items! Overall, this place is super worth it. One of my favorite Brooklyn gems. read more

*Only accepts cash or AMEX* We came with a 6:30pm dinner reservation for 10 and was seated promptly My friends and I chose this place out on a whim for a celebratory dinner and I'm so glad we did. This restaurant has now become my favorite spot in the Williamsburg area. The happy hour here is amazing, and I've already rallied my girls to come here during our next GNO. Service here is attentive and friendly which plays to the whole dining experience. Mussels are good and I would recommend this. Chivito completo sandwich is another item I recommend. The churrasco's chimichurri is mostly oil, and when I tried some of my friends I was not a fan. Food here is pretty on point, aside from the rib eye which I found to be pretty dry. It was disappointing it was one of the more expensive items on the menu. My only complaint, aside from the dry rib eye, is to please train your waitstaff to calculate tip based off the pre-tax amount, not post-tax amount; I didn't notice the miscalculation until I got home. read more

Like everyone else, I ordered the skirt steak and it was absolutely a delight. The steak was tender and perfectly seasoned without overwhelming the natural taste of the meat. I also ordered the beef empanada and cheese empanada. Both had a very "homemade" taste to them, which I absolutely loved. The sauce that came with it as excellent as well. The decor wasn't my style (too dark) but I did like the spacious backdoor patio. I really enjoyed this place and will definitely be coming back again. Minus one star for the potatoes that came with the steak (very dry and bland despite being prepared with duck fat) and because the toilet could definitely be a bit cleaner. Go try this place out. You won't regret it! read more

Awesome food, definitely recommend the mussels and skirt steak. The service was fast, waitress was nice and friendly. The only thing we got annoyed was that the restaurant was really dark! I mean you can see each other , but we had hard time to read the menu. We were all holding a candle to read, my parents in law couldn't see anything, they had to use flashlights from the phone, though they didn't want to. Once the food was on table, just eat it, coz you can't really see anything clearly on your food. Lol read more

This place has been on my bookmarks for years and I finally got to try it! They're known for their skirt steaks but we tried their Prime Rib special -- delicious but a little more cooked than we wanted it. For apps we ordered the Octopus Casserole; a bit heavy on the mayo sauce but the octopus had a very good texture and chewiness! The place is tiny as cozy but so dark I couldn't really see what I was eating read more

Ok, i had no idea that Uruguayan restaurants even existed in Williamsburg (my mistake). This place is amazing and i'm surprised that there isn't a wait time for brunch or dinner. I came here around 6ish and the place was practically empty. It's pretty dark and intimate, has a cozy vibe and perfect if you're catching up with friends or on a date. As for the food - wow. I have a few food intolerances and this place definitely has a variety of options. I love that it mixes Latin American + Italian flavors. They have traditional Uruguayan dishes as well as pasta. To start, I opted for the "caserola de pulpo & habas" which is a grilled octopus casserole that comes with lima beans, smoked paprika and aioli. I asked for the aioli on the side. I'm picky about my octopus and it was prepared PERFECTLY. Soft, not rubbery at all, and a bit of spice. The lima beans were a great addition to this dish. For my main, i got the Churrasco (10 oz skirt steak - hormone free!), cooked medium, with chimichurri, duck fat potatoes, and green salad. It was so.damn.good. Perfectly juicy, and delicious. You also can't really beat the price ($25). I can't recommend this place enough for a delicious, and honestly really affordable, brunch OR dinner. Can't wait to come back to try more items off the menu!! read more

I dined here with a friend for happy hour on 11/19/24 st around 6:30pm. We made a reservation, and were promptly seated with a choice of table. Our server was so kind and so super attentive. The ambiance was so nice- very laidback but still felt fancy. Decor was super cool and I liked that the lighting was dim. This place definitely feels like it can be good for anything- from an upscale dinner to a chill happy hour get together. Our drinks were DELICIOUS. I got the Dulce de leche espresso martini inspired drink and while it was sweet, it was also very balanced and I enjoyed it. Prices were on the more expensive side, and they were cash only (but they do have an atm!) While this isn't my typical dining style, I would definitely recommend. read more

This Tuesday required a special intimate setting, as I wanted to commemorate a special occasion close to our hearts. After several choices we decided to go to Tabare. It is the pure definition of small and intimate, accentuating a soothing candle light setting. Over the years we have experienced several brunches, dinners and even a Valentine's here. The food, service and atmosphere appeal have always been amazing. The wooded walls and fire flickering of the candles provide for a warm feeling and sensation. For small dishes we ordered the Chorizo adobado, empanadas, and Cacerola de pulpo & habas (grilled octopus). The standout is always the Churrasco, so we ordered three. The food has never faltered and always taste delicious. One thing, is it just me or I can't get enough of that bread! There is a small selection of Uraguyaun restaurants in NY, but I find this to be the best. This is due to their unfailing commitment to what an intimate restaurant experience should be. A note to future patrons - they only accept cash or Amex. read more

So so so good. Food was delicious, service was great, and drinks were cheap! We came for brunch for a birthday and sat out on the back patio. We were a large group which can be difficult to manage and maintain but the wait staff did an amazing job. We ordered the churrasco, chivito completo and the huevos. The huevos were baked eggs and I wouldn't recommend this dish because of the extensive menu options and how good our other orders were, but I would definitely recommend the chivito if you are having trouble deciding, it was so delicious. The fries were also really good, and I would come back to try the empanadas as we didn't get a chance to try them. For brunch you get coffee, a drink, and brunch entree for $18, and happy hour on cocktails is $6. And these are not cheap cocktails, they are beautiful and tasty specialty cocktails. Definitly will return. Thanks for an awesome birthday! read more

My co worker recommended this Uruguayan place for their Churrasco ( skirt steak) one of their house specialties, I can say it was good, what made it excellent was the chimichurri, the sauce that they spread on the meat (mouth watering) the fries...ok nothing special an the salad ...no comment, I ordered also 2 empanadas 1 chicken 1 gouda cheese, the chicken empanafa let me tell you was good and tasty and the sauce they give you for the empanadas OMG my favorite! Hard to explain but was soo delicious, that sauce made the cheese empanada taste better. I order a uruguayan sausage... nothing special, I think German sausages are better. So in conclusion I would say, their sauces are what making their food taste better. I would definitely would try again their Churrasco with extra sauce on the side both sauces . Service is great, friendly staff and they're pretty quick in prepering your food! That I love. Ambience cozy and prices not bad. Give it a try! Just dont forget the sauces read more

I was served the most flavourful martini ever! I don't drink often or well, so it was nice to have a drink and understand why people drink because in my biased opinion, alcohol is not delicious and cocktails might be worse! This one was pretty good, so although I won't make this a habit, I do know where to go now for a yummy cocktail! The service was also really lovely! read more

I love the food and the vibe at Tabaré! The food is on point, I would say affordable for the serving size and the quality of the food. The atmosphere of the restaurant is great: warm, cozy; and there's a small backyard area with good lightings. Highly recommend and will definitely come back :) read more

I visited on 3/18. Service is amazing, vibes are too! Great date night spot. The interior is just so cozy. The back room has heaters that keep you warm for sure. We got: - the vegetarian empanadas - blood sausage toast - mussels in broth - octopus All of it was AMAZING. I rarely find good empanadas as a vegetarian, but both the fontina and kale ones were great. I think I even liked the kale stuffed one more. The sauce that accompanies them is also amazing, I have no idea what was in it but it was delicious. The octopus was perfectly cooked and came in a little skillet with some aioli and large lima beans. The beans were such a nice touch, I've never had octopus with them but they were so good. Those two stood out the most to me, I didn't get to try the blood sausage as I am vegetarian but my dining partner also loved it. Said he never tried blood sausage before in this form -- it was sort of like a spread -- but he thought it was great. read more

An AMAZING find!! the vibe is very lowkey and exactly what we were looking for. the food was great! we got the chicken and beef empanadas and were tempted to order more before we left. we also got the Uruguayan sausage and butternut squash raviolis which were also amazing! for cocktails, we got the el cabo and the el gaucho and both were review worthy. on top of all of that, the service was great. our waiter was very helpful and also ended our night with 2 glasses of champagne on the house. definitely recommend!! read more

This place is delicious and a great date spot. The mood is dark and entertaining, they have live music sometimes. The food is great, the Barata salad is very flavorful-- but the flan!? Omg best flan I've ever had! Service was nice and thoughtful. read more

I really enjoyed this place. I took my wife out for a Date Night all the way from the Bronx. We ordered the Entraña skirt steak and it was really delicious. The waitress also recommended a drink cocktail with cucumber and Piso and it was delicious. I highly recommend this place for Uruguayan food. Thank you so much. read more

I had a poor experience here because the restaurant only takes cash yet still charges extremely high fees. Even with the cash, I had to pay 20% gratuity for a party of 5 (the policy states 6 people online??) Ended up having to make 2 separate ATM withdrawals because the ATM maxes out at $200. Normally, cash only restaurants shouldn't charge extra fees because they are already saving on transaction fees and taxes. And groups of 5 shouldn't get charged 20% gratuity... especially for mediocre service. The food was good but not worth all the hassle with fees, cash, and ATM. read more

I was super excited to try the fried artichokes on special and they did not disappoint. Some of the best I've had in the states.

Cute decor with very dim lights, which is great for a date but maybe not so good for being able to read the menu. Service is friendly but maybe not world-class. Food is pretty casual considering the decor but not bad; just be prepared for burgers and creamy cheesy sauces. Maybe not the sexiest stuff to eat in such a sexy setting. But hey, at least it's dimly lit, so nobody will see if you drop food on your shirt. I would go back but not like in a huge hurry, if you know what I mean. It's a nice option to have around. read more

Delicious drinks. Their take on spicy marg is yummy. Also, their steak and potatoes is just perfect.

Such a great place! I came here when it was still perpetually hot out and the weather wasn't so blue. Was walking around the area and wanted a cute little place to grab a lite bite and some iced coffee. This place was a heaven sent answer. They have a really great little outside section, both in the front and back. I could not get over how charming the backyard was: string lights over head and plants all over the walls. We had a couple of iced lattes and shared a few appetizers as a late second lunch. (You guys have first lunch and second lunch too, right?) The mussels stole the show. So tasty and in a light cream sauce. The inside was intimate and beautiful and necessary now that it is chilly out. I highly recommend for a date or just a small group dinner. Everything from the food to the service to the atmosphere was 5 stars. I'm from Jersey and I would make the trek back to Brooklyn for a date night here. Be sure to bring $$$ because it's cash only (and I think Amex, but don't hold me to that). read more

Very impressed by their Uruguayan & Argentinian delicious food! Especially empanadas, beet salad and steaks! And their Tabaré house wine is amazing (half priced during happy hours!). Our waitress was so nice & the service was really really good until .... they asked me & my two business clients to leave as our reservation was over ?!!! I can't believe it. We spent like $500 and kept ordering drinks & all kind of food non-stop, but they said that it's common in NYC that any table reservation is limited to only 2-2,5 hours max (that I believe is total nonsense!). We are spending money - why are you kicking us out?! Initially I wanted to give 3 stars to this restaurant because of that, but since they really have an amazing meal I decided to give 4. Just don't even try to have a long business meeting / dinner there. This is a good spot for friends & family & quick dinner. read more

I ventured into trying some Uruguayan cuisine and let me say It was delish. I had the steak with potatoes and The Verde Cocktail and it was one of the healthiest, most refreshing looking and tasting alcoholic drinks I've ever tried. It enjoyed the ambiance, service by our staff was good and the manager on site was personable. I've learned they had a Bushwick location, of which, I'll be open to going. Overall, a great experience for an evening date with my hubby! read more

I would rate Tabaré four and a half stars. My girlfriend and I dined in for dinner. It's also intimate atmosphere with dim lighting giving the restaurant a romantic feel. We started with the cheese empanada and the beef empanada. I liked them both. Then we split the burrata salad which I enjoyed too. Finally, we split one of their daily specials: the ribeye. We asked for it to be prepared medium rare and the chef hit the mark perfectly. All in all, we had a great experience. read more

This was the first time I tried any food from Uruguay and I liked it very much. I tried their domestic Uruguayan white wine and it was solid. As an appetizer I had burata cheese with grilled peaches and toast and this was so tasty . Great appetizer , never had that combo before. As a main dish I had Uruguayan stake . It was pretty good . They have outdoor area now as well with heaters outside and separate boots which is very nice. The staff is friendly and I will definitely go there again . read more

We enjoyed the overall experience of dining here. The food and cocktails were good and the ambience is lovely. But then the check came and we were told only cash and Amex are accepted, which is extremely strange and inconvenient for a nice NYC establishment. The ATM in the back could only dispense so much which left us awkwardly short for tipping. The waiter pointed out the policy is spelled out on the menu. But honestly it's so dark even our 20-something guests couldn't read the menu without a light. I also would never be looking for fine print at the bottom of a menu like that or imagine I couldn't use Visa. It is also worth noting that here on Yelp it reads "Accepts credit cards." If the restaurant is going to have a weird policy like this they should warn everyone when they sit down. Even better, accept Visa like 99% of restaurants do. read more
