Empanadillas del Día - tasty and filling
Florence C.

Tapas for days. Small plates, big personality. Their menu runs 30+ items deep. The Empanadillas del Día arrived hot, crispy, and deeply satisfying. Next came the Callos- a rich, soulful stew of soft tripe, chorizo, and chickpeas served with bread. Yum! The star though, was the Pulpo a Feira- the best octopus I've ever had. It was perfectly tender, beautifully seasoned, and cut just right. Drinks kept pace. I started with a bright, clean Paloma, then closed things out with the Tomino Horchata dessert cocktail- fucking delicious! Come hungry, order irresponsibly, and yes, get the octopus. NOTES / TIPS **Reserve through Google or Resy. Too easy. **Excellent service. Wheelchair accessible with nice, clean restrooms. **In Little Italy.

Sea scallops. Would not recommend.

Tomino is worth a visit for its nice atmosphere and array of tapas that are not the typical ones you find in the tapas bars commonly found in the States. Overall, the food is pretty well executed, but not all of it was to our taste, with one unpleasant surprise. For the two of us, we ordered the pan con tomate, croquetas with ham, mushrooms with grapes, sea scallops, and arroz negro. The portions were pretty substantial for two people, so we couldn't quite finish. The highlights for us were the croquetas and mushrooms - the croquetas were delicate yet rich, and the combination of roasted mushrooms, grapes, and cheese foam was unique and delicious. In the middle were the tomato bread and the popular arroz negro. Although the squid and rice were perfectly cooked, we found it a bit under-seasoned and flat. The sea scallops dish was not what we expected - while the presentation on the shell was cool, the baked (not seared) scallops were buried under a pretty thick layer of crispy ham and breadcrumbs which completely overwhelmed the flavor of the scallops. It was definitely not for us. While we were not drinking alcohol, the cocktails menu looked pretty fantastic, especially if you like gin cocktails. I opted for their (one) seasonal mocktail, which was pineapple, mint, and ginger beer. It was fresh and excellent. Service was good but pretty hands off. That said, they came by to stabilize our wobbly table without prompting and cleaned our table well after we were finished eating. We asked to take what was left of the mushrooms and rice home, but they put both into one to-go container. While I appreciate not creating much waste, it would have been nicer from a diner's perspective to not let two distinct dishes meld together. All in all, I think Tomino is worth a trip. Not all the flavors were quite our cup of tea, but we still had a nice evening out.

Tomiño has a great atmosphere with warm lighting, a lively crowd, and a space that feels welcoming without being too loud. The only downside was the service. Our server wasn't very knowledgeable about the menu and was a bit absent throughout the meal, which stood out given how polished the space feels. We ordered the Ensalada San Simón, Serrano ham croquetas, Churrasco con Chimichurri, Vieiras a la Gallega, and the fish of the day. Overall, the food was good, but not as impressive as expected. The croquetas were one of the highlights of the night: crisp on the outside, soft inside, and full of rich ham flavor. The Churrasco con Chimichurri had great flavor, especially the ribs, but there was very little meat on them, which made the dish less satisfying than it could've been. The clear favorite was the fish of the day, it was perfectly cooked, had a strong flavor, and was easily the most memorable and well-executed dish of the meal. I also tried a seasonal sour cocktail, which unfortunately didn't have much flavor and didn't add much to the experience. Tomiño has a strong atmosphere and some solid dishes, but between the uneven service and a few misses, it didn't fully meet expectations. Still, the fish of the day and the croquetas made the meal worthwhile, and with a bit more consistency, it could be a spot worth returning to.

Great Tapas restaurant in Chinatown. Who knew? My advice would be to go with a group of 4-6 so you can order and share a lot of things. Everything is really good.

Croquetas

You can't come to Tomiño and not get the lobster rice. For $72 dollars, you get at least four servings worth of rice and a whole lobster in a flavorful seafood broth. That's a steal in nyc. And it's not just the rice, the cocktails are hefty and pack a punch. One lychee and basil gin & tonic was almost the size of my face. And while most large drinks don't deliver in quality, this G&T goes down so smooth that you forget you're drinking alcohol. My friend ordered the Grand Street Margarita which wasn't as big but held its own in both taste and alcohol content. To nurse our drinks, my friend and I ordered two tapas as recommended by our server. The croquetas were a classic crispy delight and the chorizo was set ablaze at our table to our happy surprise (and delicious!). Outside of ordering food, service was friendly and consistent. The ambiance is the icing on the cake. The place is modern while still being warm and welcoming. If it weren't for the big and hearty lobster stew, I probably would've tried more of their tapas. But there's always next time.

Tomino Taberna Gallega is Galician Spanish Cuisine at its finest. Service was amazing - everyone from the hostess, to the server were consistently awesome. Bay scallops, langoustines, and jumbo red prawns a la plancha -- perfectly grilled and bursting with ocean flavor Pulpo a feira -- tender octopus with just the right touch of paprika and olive oil Arroz caldoso -- a rich lobster and monkfish rice simmered in a silky bisque broth Chuletón -- dry-aged tomahawk ribeye cooked to perfection Every dish was bold, authentic, and beautifully executed -- a true taste of Galicia!

Inside
Pamela P.

Very good and authentic Spaniard restaurant, we had too many dishes to remember all the names but my favorite was the arroz negro (calamari ink rice). The service was amazing and everyone friendly, we came for lunch and the back area felt peaceful and family friendly. We had amazing Albariño wine and also a recommendation from the server that was incredible. Price point if high but you get what you pay for. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a chill atmosphere with high quality food. The front part of the restaurant where the bar is seems more lively and has music, perhaps if not for lunch or dinner this area looks nice for drinks and tapas.

plancha mixta
Matt R.

Words cannot adequately describe how amazing Tomiño Taberna Gallega is, but I'll try anyway: with my first bite of the croquetas de jamon and first sip of my clara con limon, my eyes watered as I was brought back to the calles in Galicia where endless wine and amazing fresh comfort food flows late into the warm night. I've had croquetas in many Spanish restaurants, both in America and in Spain, but something about drinking an authentic clara and the uniqueness of the flavor of the croquetas at Tomiño (and the quality of the cooking) brought back an immediate nostalgia of being in Galicia. Everything we tried was just incredible. The pan con tomate was super fresh, perfect blend of garlic and oil, and crusty yet simultaneously soft bread. The bellota jamon was just like we get in Galicia, tasted exactly the same and was quite special. So much of the jamon in america is good, but not amazing, but nearly ALL of the jamon in Galicia is amazing. Honestly, I'd judge a spanish restaurant just by this, and Tomiño passes with 10/10. My girlfriend had pulpo a fiera and looked like she was going to cry tears of joy. We have never found pulpo in America like you'd get in Galicia; everyone in America always grills it or cooks it a la plancha but it was amazing to find it a fiera. It was clearly fresh, not frozen, and presented exactly like we find in Spain. She said the flavor was amazing. The arroz negro was by far our absolute favorite dish of the night. It was so rich, perfect in every way (salty and savory at the same time), plenty of calamari and a very good sized portion. This rice was honestly better than we've had in Spain and a dish we have been dreaming of since dining at Tomiño. We tried the chipirones and they were good, but not amazing, mainly because the portion was somewhat small. I think we counted only 6 or 8 pieces of chipis; the rest was this huge pile of potato strings or possibly onion strings. Overall the chipis were just fine. The final dish we ordered was a plancha mixta which was a massive serving of seafood. The seafood was incredibly, amazingly fresh and prepared so minimally and simply so as to highlight the true star(s) of the dish. The scallops were fantastic, cooked perfectly, although a tad more oil than we're used to. The carabineros were so tasty, so tender, cooked to perfection. My girlfriend savored the cigalas and again this is something we've never seen in America until now; this has always been a specialty that we've only been able to enjoy in Spain. Dishes we wished we tried but did not have room for: empanada gallega, tortilla, chuleton. In the online menu they also have a bunch of bocatas that look and sound amazing as well. The service was excellent, although we had a couple different servers, which made it just slightly confusing as we did not really know who to call on for questions. Everyone was very attentive, professional, kind and hospitable. In the end, this was by far the best Spanish food we've ever eaten in the United States, and I'd also say better than 90-95% of most restaurants we've eaten at in Galicia as well. A meal to remember and a place we're already waiting to get back to.

Nordes Gin and tonic
Jennifer C.

Only rating based on their gin and tonic which was made with Nordes gin and fevertree Indian tonic. Sooo delicious and refreshing. My friends got the huguino spritzer and tinto verano. The spritzer was delicious, especially with that homemade limoncello. The tinto verano was less sweet than the ones I've had in Spain but still enjoyable. The only negative was the price at $15 for a pretty basic drink. The g&t and cocktails were $16 which is pretty standard for NYC.

Presa Iberica
Macarena O.

Best Spanish restaurant I've tried in the US (so far)! It has been so difficult to find a restaurant with good food that reminds me to home. I came for a date night with my husband and shared a variety of tapas: zamburiñas (10/10), croquetas de jamon (10/10), pulpo a la gallega (10/10 - the pulpo was so tender), patatas bravas (9/10), presa iberica (10/10), and my least favorite was the mushroom and blue cheese croquetas (it didn't have enough blue cheese flavor - 6/10). We also got a lovely Albariño to go with our food (Albariño de Fefinanes), a dry and light white wine perfect for what we ordered. To end the night and digest our food we decided to get G&T's (nothing like a good Spanish G&T!). I love Nordes so we had to go with the Nordes G&T and the Mango and Juniper Berry. The restaurant is very elegant inside, clean and very attentive service. I couldn't recommend it enough!

Blistered Shishito peppers
Hattie S.

This place was great! Wonderful wine options, and super tasty fare. YAYs - Blistered shishito peppers: These are a MUST. YAY!!! Croquetas: classic and tasty Parillada de setas: VERY GOOD! An interesting dish that I haven't had before. We got the recipe to try at home! Yay!! Piquillos Rellenos: very good and flavorful Nays- Empanadillas: pretty good, and flaky pastry, but I wasn't crazy over the flavor. I think they needed some sort of sauce.

Arroz Caldoso
Mary D.

5 star experience across the board: top tier heart-centered Spaniard dishes. What a marvelous an experience. We ordered the following: - Menestra de Verduras: great appetizer featuring grilled vegetables with almond garlic puree. Lovely presentation and the puree took it to the next level. - Croquetas: these made my taste buds SANG. We opted for ham & La Peral blue cheese. Perfectly balanced and complimentary flavors and ideal for sharing. - Arroz Caldoso: this is the STAR of the menu and a must-order. The lobster was HUGE and the broth was incredibly hearty. Enough to share with a party of 2-3! - Dessert: Tarta de Santiago was spongy and melted in my mouth. - Drink: Ordered the LYCHEE REBUJITO and it was delightful. Loved the touch of the decorative rim. Overall, from the food to the service and ambiance this place was lovely, tasty and impeccable. I will say I loved the music they had as it well as it featured lots of Spanish music I had to Shazam. This is the place to go for Spaniard food, you will legit feel like you're transported with the flavors, ambiance and music.

Perfect date night spot. Why? The food is excellent and unique for New York, a city with 1001 Italian, French and Greek restaurants, this Galician Spanish restaurant shines. There's a warm ambiance, it feels like the place is full of frequent fliers and those who happily stumbled upon Tomiño. It's intimate, the kitchen is in the back and partially open. There is a bar in the front, full and a little rowdier than the back dining room and the division between the front bar and back dining room is welcome. The food is Spanish style, made to share. Some absolute gems include the mussels, croquettes, the pulpa and the lobster rice. The wine, vermouth and drink list is nice as well. The service is what you would expect from a Michelin star. Very good. Price is upper limit reasonable. 200$ for 2 with drinks and tip. Gracias por leer. Disfruta!

Wow East Village! You have yourself a gem with Rake Wine Bar! We were waiting for our dinner…read morereservations and decided to stop in here for a pre-dinner drink and bite. I am SO glad we did. The vibe drew us in, they had great music bumpin from the outside, it looked lively and welcoming. Let me tell you- I would have skipped dinner and just stayed here all evening if it was my choice! But alas, my husband wanted a bit more to eat. But let me tell you- their knowledge of wine is PRISTINE! I can't tell you what white wine we had but they captured our tastes perfectly. We also shared a bruschetta and it was deliciouso! I love how friendly the staff was here and how unpretentious it all was. Next time we are in NYC- we will definitely make a point to come visit Rake!

My partner and I were looking for a great double date spot, so we decided to give Rake a try due to…read moreits relaxing vibe and multitude of bites we could share. First I'll start with the wine - we ended up trying all three happy hour wines (HH until 7), which the tables favorites were the white and we ended up getting a bottle to split once HH ended (but I really enjoyed the other vino verde option). It was incredibly refreshing and paired well with the many tinned fish options. As you'd expect - it's a pretty massive selection and there is bound to be a varietal and glass for any palate. It's also attached to a wine store - so it's fine to see all the bottles when peaking over. Food-wise - this is where it was hit or miss, they have a pretty extensive menu (with a whole tinned fish section!) and we ended up ordering the buratta on focaccia (buratta was excellent, focaccia was too dense for my tastes), mushroom truffle crostini (way too salty), the flatbread with sliced kielbasa (was fine), halloume (table favorite ), tinned sardines in lemon oil (delicious), tinned smoked trout (my favorite). Overall the four of us were very full at the end of the meal! The space itself felt very relaxing and rustic, and definitely got busier as the night went on (we got there at 6:50 and left around 9). The service was also fast and attentive - even for the amount of tables they were serving. Overall - I'd definitely go back again, and maybe just focus on the wine and another tinned fish selection!

I wanted to love Sunn's but overall it felt overrated…read more We ordered the banchan, chigae, bossam and tteokbokki. Starting with the positives -the banchan was solid across the board and really flavorful. That said, charging for banchan feels strange to me. Traditionally, it's complimentary, like bread at an Italian restaurant so that part didn't sit right but it was flavorful. The chigae was interesting and probably the standout dish. It had a unique flavor that reminded me of a mix between soondubu and dwenjang chigae which worked well. Unfortunately, the rest was a miss. The bossam was overly salty and didn't feel true to the dish. The tteokbokki was another disappointment -it came with cheese (which wasn't expected) and just fell flat overall. For the hype, I expected much more especially because I've eaten Korean food my whole life. The venue is small and the seats in the back are uncomfortable.

Food/drinks: delicious!! Everything was very good, I wouldn't get banchan again but the trout and…read moretofu soon dubu was worth it Atmosphere: cute!! This is definitely what you are paying for as well, Very cramped and close spacing but in a nice way Service: friendly but if you walk in you may have limited time to sit!

First off, the front door is mounted on flimsy plastic hinges, so every time someone opens it, it swings open violently and knocks the vase off the nearby table. The service was somehow even worse. When I was there on Tuesday, May 19th from 8-10 PM, there was exactly ONE bartender working the entire place -- both inside and outside -- and she was unbelievably inattentive. My date and I sat at the bar for TWENTY MINUTES before she even acknowledged us or asked if we wanted drinks. I literally had to call out "Excuse me" just to order a $25 quarter-filled glass of wine. Embarrassing all around. And when we were ready to leave and wanted the check, the female bartender working on Tuesday May 19th from 8-10 PM was busy standing in the corner chatting with someone instead of helping customers. I haven't seen someone move this slowly or care this little since the DMV. TO MANAGEMENT - this was absolutely horrible, embarrassing, and unprofessional service. Clean up your act, and hire a second or even a third bartender.
