Boqueria UES

Favorite Brunch spot in nyc by far! Get so much for what you pay

Valentine’s Day dinner

We went with the prefixe menu for Valentine’s Day but needed to have it altered for a gluten allergy. It doesn’t seem like anyone was monitoring what we were getting because after only 5 dishes (of 7 mains) we were told that we were getting dessert. Understanding we had a gluten allergy, it would have been nice to have been told that we should have ordered off the main menu instead of prefixe if we were going to get stiffed 2/7 dishes. We had to ask for one of them (the shrimp, which was gluten free so not sure why we wouldn’t have gotten it anyway?), which was brought to us after we asked, but ended up paying the full amount for one less dish which I think was a ripoff. Not sure if we will come back in the near future as I don’t know if we can trust the servers to ensure the prefixe dishes are all brought to the tables.

Boqueria UES is usually our go to for dinner dates. This latest time was incredibly frustrating. The server kept taking our drinks away when we had at least another 2 sips left. It ruined the whole experience.

Enjoyed the food. Very expensive

Paella was excellent albeit a bit too much for one person.

Great time with friends ! Food was great, service was good but I had to remove one star for 2 reasons: we have to ask 3 times to put down the AC. They have also put us on table for 4 vs 5, while the booking was made for 5. Other than that it was great

Good place, food was amazing. Definitely a very lively place. Alittle cramp on the inside but overall I would recommend.

Food always comes too quickly , not always hot , feels a bit rushed ( because it is ) but overall always a good experience

good food..all small plates...our waiter was expert both on the menu, and the very difficult all-spanish wine list...GREAT value for upper east side manhattan

Hostess was kind of rude to my mom who I was treating to dinner. Very strange. The waiter was amazing tho and the food delicious

Noisy, crowded, tight but what I expect when I go to my neighborhood Spanish restaurant for tapas.....skip the paella.

Excellent food and service. Highly recommended! Be sure to try the bacon wrapped dates!

Super friendly staff and great food. Lunch service was quick but without seeming pushy. Our server Nelly could not have been more knowledgeable on the menu.
Great wine list too!

Best place for spanish food on the UES. Always good. A bit loud but worth it

The experience at this restaurant was wonderful! We had 6 people so we had the chefs fixed menu with the unlimited drinks for 2 hours. The waiter Barry was amazing he was very attentive and noticed one of our party members was running late and waited to out the food order so that way we would get the full 2 hours! Thank you so much for the experience I will totally recommend this restaurant.

Always a great time!

Most of the food items are deep fried or sitting in a soup of oil. Not healthy. The price per dish doesnt match the quality received. I wouldnt go here for dinner but to get a glass of wine and one snack not eat a full dinner. Service was good and atmosphere was energetic.

I had a great time at my birthday brunch here. Our server was patient and gracious while we took our time ordering in the beginning, he provided prompt drink refills throughout the meal, and every delicious dish was served hot and fresh. You can end up sacrificing quality of food or drinks at a bottomless brunch, but that doesn't happen at Boqueria, and they provide a generous 2 hour drink time limit versus the usual 1 or 1.5 hours. I definitely recommend Boqueria UES!

The food was delicious and our tapas came out quickly. All in all a great experience!

We love Boqueria, we go there very often. The brunch deal with bottomless sangria is great! we love every dish that we have tried.
I go to Spain often and have to say that the churros with chocolate are the real thing!

Great food if you’re in the mood for tapas. Not too loud especially during brunch. Great time all around. Thank you

Really good food

Our fifth New Year's Eve celebration at Boqueria UES! We were welcomed as old friends, had our favorite seating at the chef's counter. Watched all the action as the chef and cooks turned out hundreds of plated tapas. Loved the traditional tapas as well as some new additions. We will be back again!!!

Service was excellent. We enjoyed exquisite tapas followed by delicious paella!

Great food! Loved it :)

This is unfortunately an Americanized and slightly overpriced Spanish Restaurant. $12 for portion of Patatas Bravas seems a bit too much. Music, a little loud and not from Spain. I don’t think I will be coming back and will never come back here for an experience of authentic flavors from Spain. Quite disappointed as Spain has a lot of unique flavors and differences that are appreciated are sought for in NYC.

Terrible. Just terrible. Expected something worth my time...I guess that was too much.

Always fun, delicious and a favorite dining destination! Fresh, interesting flavors and tapas style servings ideal for sharing and tasting. We had a wonderful time, thank you for excellent and friendly service :-)

We had THE BEST Christmas day lunch ever!! Chef's choice... Every single dish was yum!

Great food and wine. Helpful and reasonably prompt and attentive service. There was a little bit of a wait for our food to arrive and one of the nine dishes we ordered was incorrect. There was absolutely no problem fixing the error. We were well pleased overall and intend to return here or try one of the other Boqueria locations as soon as possible.

I love Boqueria! Food is always excellent, fresh and well-prepared. Always something new and interesting...this time it was the new roasted cauliflower--perfect! Cocktails are always fresh and expertly made and the seasonal Sangria (cranberry on this visit) really refreshing and flavorful. Our Server also did a great job and was knowledgeable and very accommodating. The GM came over to introduce herself and make sure everything was perfect--which it was. Boqueria never fails to offer a terrific dining experience and I recommend it highly.

Great place for lunch due to availability and quieter space. Love the lunch menu options the best. Always dependably good food. Great churros for dessert! Full coffee service.

Great food as always!

Great atmosphere. Authentic tapas and paella. Would go again tomorrow!

It was wonderful. We come here often and are always pleased.

Amazing food as usual. Our favorite go to tapas . Consistently good through the years.

Fantastic food: baby gem salad with roasted hazelnuts, grilled squid, roasted chicken and beef a al plancha. Lovely wines.

Ricardo was amazingggggf! The food was superb. Thank you for an experience

We had a great evening for our family group of 9, celebrating two 60th birthdays. The restaurant called the day before to tell us that for groups the menu was the chefs menu, a prix fixe (two price points to choose), so no surprise. It turned out to be perfect and avoided long choices. The food was excellent from beginning to end in taste, diversity and amounts. The atmosphere was just right for a birthday and a high level of tolerance for our American and French renditions of Happy Birthday. The service was friendly, informative and diligent. There was a change in shifts and our first waiter took the time to introduce his replacement. Highly recommend!
