    We had a great experience at Canela today for wine and tapas. Matthew is an excellent server who provided very good service and made us have a pleasant evening at Canela. Tapas are delicious and wine was good.

    The food was excellent as always. But we felt more cramped as so many more tables were added. There were rows of 5+ tables of 2 stacked a few inches apart, so we felt a loss of intimacy. But the restaurant got more packed, so it's popular, with a slightly different vibe.

    Quick pre-theater dinner and Bota was perfect. Great selection of traditional dishes, all done very well. We were impressed with the fried brussel sprouts. Nice little wine list as well. Very attentive service.

    If I could rate a place 5+ stars, COQUETA would be the place to get that ranking. Every. Single. Tapas. Dish. We. Had. Was. Astoundingly. Good. From the Bocadillo La Casa “Bikini” to the Patatas Bravas to the Calabacines a la Brasa... this is one of the very few places that was SO good, we ordered more after that initial trio just to experience more of the menu. Drink-wise, the cocktails are some of the best I've had in the city - creative, delicious, beautifully presented, and memorable. This entire dining experience is one I won't forget. Thank you!

    We visited Destapas on a Friday night with 6 friends to celebrate a big birthday. The prix fixe menu goes into effect with 6 people. I was a little worried our choices might be limited but it was actually wonderful! We had great choices (a group of vegetarians and pescatarians) and each dish was plentiful and delicious. So many courses! The service was great - attentive and welcoming. We’ll be back!
