AYZA Wine & Chocolate Bar

A very pleasant surprise! The drinks and food were great. Service was great and our server was very knowledgeable and made great recommendations. We will be back with a larger party.

Nice spot. Our second time there. Great spot for a light lunch, or a post-theater drink. Desserts are excellent.

Great food, great vibe, great service. I've been before and I'll definitely be back again.

The food was mostly good. I would not recommend the angry chicken lollipops. The meat was dry and chewy and hard to eat. The tables were also way too small to enjoy dinner. Silverware kept falling off table and we felt terribly cramped. Not a enjoyable dinner experience at all.

My favorite place to go to in the city .. the food is amazing plenty of selections and the service is outstanding

I absolutely love this restaurant! Ayza is the perfect place for a date. Everything was decadent and a great value for the quality, service, and location. The chocolate martinis are probably my favorite drink in New York City. This was my third time returning to Ayza and I will be back for many more amazing meals!

Service could be a bit quicker and pro active. Food and atmosphere was really good

Loved the happy hour! We did a choose plate and come chocolates, along with the chicken tacos. It was great! Loved the Chocolate Manhattan!

Great ambiance.

Limited on space but very accommodating! They went out of their way to accommodate a special request that they did not have to honor. It was greatly appreciated

Bday celebration. Friendly staff. Short wait with reservation. Timely service. Excellent food/drinks.

Would like to see some true vegan offerings on the menu. Vegetarian food has a lot more fat.

I had a fantastic experience. Went on a brisk Monday night for my Girlfriends birthday. We were seated outdoors which is much nicer than indoors. Although it was cold outside the seating area was warm because there were overhead heaters. There was also live music which was a pleasant surprise being that it was a Monday night. I wrote a message on my reservation stating that it was my gf’s bday. The host put Rosé petals on our table before we were seated. In addition the waitress gave my gf a free glass of Prosecco. For drinks we have the chocolate martinis. They were so delicious! We had the raspberry and peppermint. Both were amazing. I also had the melon Moscow mule which was unique take on a classic. The drink smelled amazing and was great. For food we had the crispy baby shrimp dumplings (delicious), white truffle pizza (pretty good but it’s basically pita bread with cheese). Entrees were mushroom ravioli (amazing!) and the filet mignon. Dessert we got the dark chocolate fondue. It was fantastic. They brought it out with a sparkler too. The only con was food/drinks were a bit pricey. But with service like that I’m not complaining! Aside from that it was a wonderful overall experience. Service was spectacular, ambiance was beautiful and food/drinks were delicious.

Great food great value but slow service and only one bathroom!

We had a reservation, but apparently, they were overbooked and so we sat at the bar. But, it was awesome because the bartenders were great! We ate our dinner there and really had a great time. Dragana was the girl bartender and she was really wonderful. Her male co-bartender was amazing as well. Our service was extremely high level! It was a really enjoyable experience! We are just visiting NYC, but when we come back we would love to visit again. Thanks so much. :)

We had a 7pm reservation on a Friday October night and was packed. We got there on time and had to wait 10 minutes for our table outside which was heated (which felt rather warm after a while). We got 2 of our appetizers rather quickly and the last one (a soup) took a little while to arrive. After we got done with our appetizers, 2 different waiters came by to ask us if we were having more food which we found curious since they could easily check our order to see that we had entrees ordered. We later ordered dessert and overall the food was good, though not out of this world. The noise level was very high but overall a fine dining experience in NYC.

Great for happy hour.

Ayza is awesome. Small and cozy place. Good for a special occasion or for a happy hour.
Every meal tastes delicious.

Food was great! I’m sorry to say that I read about reviews regarding the service before we went and the reviews were spot on. The service was awful our server had no personality and was extremely rude but the food was good and the chocolate was good and the wine was good. His name was Jim. Rude server.

Went here after a lite meal for wine, charcuterie and dessert. All were delicious and I don’t have anything negative to say. I have been there before and was very happy during that visit also.

Accommodating staff, amazing food!

Great food and service, though it’s small it wasn’t overcrowded. Good noise level for conversation. For what we got I think it was well priced.

Wayyyyyyyy too loud, and slow service. Took three times asking to even get the bill.

Great food, outdoor seating was nice. Good ambiance

Good was exceptional and service was very good ! A must try!!

Very affordable and very tasty meal. This place has become one of our favorites in NYC. I’m yet to try their wine and chocolate selection but their lunch combos are the best value in Manhattan. Simple ingredients work well together is their toast, pizzas, etc. They also have very good soups and bring fresh bread with ricotta. Service is always friendly and knowledgeable. Most of us are well traveled and are kind off spoiled by Michelin stared restaurants and exotics but this place has this universally appealing quality that makes us return every time we are trying to decide between...Korean or French or Mexican or... for whatever reason this place is an overall winner!

Great food and a fun time. Fantastic selection of cheese, cured meats and chocolate.

Only problem is too many mosquitos at the outdoor seating area....

The food, staff, and service were excellent as always!

Great food! Amazing relax spot! Perfect for spring and summer weather! Early fall too. Most seating is outdoors.

It’s one of my go-to’s in the city when I want to show someone a lovely time!

Came here for desserts and drinks for birthday celebration. Staff was very friendly and nice. They set up sparkling candle surprise. Crepe cake slice is to die for. Has creme brulee top and creamy layers. Molton lava cake is very chocolatey and you can taste the hazelnut spread. The ooze was a bit missing but still a good dessert for chocolate lovers. It comes with ice cream! Lastly, their wine selection was pretty good and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Definitely check it out. When the weather is nice, seating outside is great. Just note- there's only one bathroom (unisex) so the line can get long.

Our first visit here earlier in week was outstanding and service was excellent! Second visit we did not receive lunch special combo portion of menu and service was not as attentive but food was still very good and would highly recommend for lunch!

Great lunch combos, drinks and value! One of best lunches in New York!

Staff was friendly and attentive. Food and drinks were amazing. Just wish we could see the menu, drinks and the person across the table. It was very dark and there was no lighting on the table which made it hard to see the menu.

Delicious wine and chocolate for sure! We enjoyed the dark magic flight between 3 of us, as well as the brunch menu items that were awesome. Price isn't bad for what you get with the wine flights, considering between 3 of us we each drank about 1 1/2 glasses and got chocolates too. It was a really nice setting for our book club to meet.

We ordered the wagyu sliders, angry chicken lollipops, avocado fries and dark chocolate fondue. I only liked the avocado fries. The chicken lollipops tasted more like duck and were too chewy, the dark chocolate fondue was rather bland, and the wagyu sliders were dry and tasteless. I also ordered a raspberry martini, and my friend ordered a lychee berry martini. Both were delicious and were the best part of the meal. The indoor space is tiny, but the decor is nice.

Aside from Open Table messing up my reservation (booked me under Lincoln Lake instead of Lincoln Hayes for some reason), it was a wonderful evening. We've been going to Ayza for special occasions for ten years and had a great time.

Great place near Koreatown for a casual drink and appetizers

The food and service as always was exceptional! Keep up the great work!
