My gf and I celebrated her birthday here at Don Coqui. The food was amazing. The tuna and watermelon ceviche was incredible. The octopus was perfectly cooked and was very flavorful. We are Pescatarians and largely eat plant based only. This restaurant has options for everybody. The drink is great and the bar pretty much has anything you want. The view of the NYC skyline is amazing especially at night.
