Great tapas experience. Comida fue muy rico. Servers were all knowledgeable and friendly. Their recommendations for my carne loving partner and my non meat itself were spot on.

The food is superb, the waitstaff friendly, helpful, and fast! Only wish that the noise level was a little less loud - it is hard to hear each other, and everyone in restaurant is shouting over the music and noise of the kitchen. Lively and energetic, yes - worthwhile because the food is fantastic, yes!

The food wasn't as good as it used to be. Really small portion of Jamon for the price. The service was subpar. Disappointed. It used to be so much better. We've been to all of the restaurants for many years.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Boqueria W 40th Street. We were visiting NYC and had purchased tickets to see Hamilton on Broadway. We wanted to find a spot for a light dinner that we could enjoy early since the show was starting at 7. This place was recommended and we decided to give it a try. It was perfect- we shared about 6 or 7 tapa plates. The cheese plate, 2 orders of pimientos de padron (SO GOOD), the gambas al ajillo, bacon wrapped dates, boquerones with citrus, etc. Everything was amazing! I think our least favorite was the bacon wrapped dates. Nothing wrong with them, but the other tapas outshined in our opinion. We were surprised to realize it was happy hour when we arrived (I think 4-6pm), we ordered a pitcher of sangria- great pricing!! And then each had an espresso "mini martini" at the end. I felt the prices were great and the service was good.

The food and service was fine. The entire experience was ruined because the restaurant decided to pack their patrons like sardines in tables. Me and my girlfriend were seated in a round table on the east side of the restaurant. My girlfriend could barely get into the booth. The tables next to us were so close to ours that every time someone sat or got up, the neighbor’s table would be knocked by the body of whoever was trying to get through. I was almost elbow-to-elbow with the persons seated next to us. Servers and runners needed to maneuver around me to give us our plates because of the lack of space. We were uncomfortable and cramped. Management needs to take a serious look at their restaurant layout. Is it worth it to have your customers have a negative experience just for the revenue of the extra table? I know I’m not the only person this has happened to.

We had a great time on Saturday. The Chef’s Menu is a great value and a lot of food, it’s all so good, and it’s fun to wonder what will come next. Loved it. Our go-to when we come to New York to see a show.
