   Good food. Staff was helpful, but the dining room got cold and windy in the early evening. Noise level is too high

   Overall, an excellent evening. Food is different and very good. One caveat, wine list is way over-priced. I mean, way, way over-priced. On such a terrific, big list you need more wines that list for less than $100.

   We received a warm welcome at check-in and then again by all the staff working the bar, where we chose to sit. Service is easy-going, yet totally professional and knowledgeable. A special thank you to Liddy, who manages the wines and suggested a wonderful Spanish wine to go with our duck entree. Our 2 appetizers, one with Morels and another with a vegetable called cardos, were seasonal and delicious. The duck with port wine sauce served on whipped potatoes is a standard offering on the menu and was beautifully cooked (pink inside) and served. To start, we split the pintxo matrimonio, 2 incredibly light but crisp pastries each with 2 anchovies 1 white, 1 brown) on top. So good! We especially like that Ernestos does not play loud music in the background. Inside, you can count on the conversation and laughter from happy diners all around. Thank you for a fun evening.

   Always excellent! The food, service, ambience… There are many great places to try in NYC but this is one you’ll want to return to, again and again…. It seems to get better & better. Highly recommend.

   Lovely new find on the Lower East Side near the Abrons Center. Basque food. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves- and the food!

    Food was great! Except it took them 35 mins to seat us for 9pm reservation. There was no acknowledgement of how long it took either so it was pretty annoying.
