A perfect place for lunch near the UN. Even when full, it's quiet. They never rush you to leave. The food is wonderful - an avocado/shrimp appetizer beautifully presented and perfectly executed, a zucchini soup managed to be interesting and comforting at the same time, squid in its own ink with rice was flavorful, and we ran out of room after two of us sharing these dishes (which our waiter graciously had the kitchen split for us.) Normal levels of menu selection make it fine both for a ladies light lunch or heavyweight diplomats. Reasonable for this level. The sweet garden in the back has been enclosed with a roof, making for more year-around room -- I just wish on the 70 F day we were there, they'd opened that roof a bit.

Located near UN and in a building leftover from before the neighborhood went into the 21st century it makes quite an impression. Looks authentic and the tastes were authentic. Problem is most of their customers are probably on UN expense accounts. If you are not on that expense account try somewhere else.

Great place for a lunch meeting by the United Nations- where it is generally difficult to find a good location and space. Food was very nice and good service.

This proved to be a disconsolate spot for celebrating New Year's Eve, with its dreary atmosphere echoing the middling cuisine. To take an 11 pm reservation and then rush our table to order by 11:15 on this particular night seemed especially misguided. Nothing about the experience was commendable, casting into doubt all the positive reviews. Why venture here when so many other high-quality tapas restaurants beckon?
