   This was my first time dining at this restaurant, and I’m so glad I chose it to celebrate Mother’s Day with my mom. Despite it being a busy day, the service and atmosphere exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and well cared for. A special thank you to Tardius (our waiter) who went above and beyond to ensure our experience was seamless and enjoyable. The entire team from the hostess to the manager (a lovely lady in a black dress who even took our picture) was attentive and genuinely warm, checking on us regularly throughout our meal. The energy was lively, the food was fantastic, and the service was top-notch. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant and look forward to coming back for another great experience.

   Our server was attentive, friendly, professional and welcoming. Even though the menu SEEMED limited, the variety of dishes we ordered and shared at our table for four was wonderful. Highlights were the Reyna salad (sans beets), the lamb baklava, and the Lebanese tacos. Also, the mocktails were gorgeous! The only drawback was the level of noise; we had to speak loudly to each other in order to hear. But that's a Friday night in NYC!

   Dear Leon, Thank you so much for dining with us. We're thrilled you enjoyed our Mediterranean food, though we're sorry to hear that the noise level was too high the evening you joined us.

   After a brief shuffle of tables (they inexplicably wanted to seat us in an isolated section next to the restrooms despite several empty tables in the main section) we were comfortably settled in the attractive high ceilinged space and promptly served by the attentive staff. The menu follows a small plate/sharing approach. We ordered the artichoke hearts, Lebanese tacos, grilled octopus, sausage, Italian frites, and gambas. Aside from the sausage (which was fine but unremarkable) every dish was excellent, with the tacos being a particularly original and the octopus with salsa particularly tasty. Service was friendly and efficient. With 2 rounds of cocktails, tax and tip included, it worked out to about $80 per person, which I thought was totally fair. I expect to return to Reyna, which is in my neighborhood.

   Hosted an intimate brunch on Easter Sunday for my bridesmaid, and it was absolutely perfect! The hostess and staff were so accommodating and helpful with everything. Everything we ate was dainty and delicious. We all loved the decor and vibe! Book it! You won't regret it!!

    Good ambience but thats it. The cocktails had amazing presentation but the taste was one of the worst cocktails i’ve had in nyc. Wild for the price range.
    

    Reyna - NYCResponded on April 9, 2025

    Thanks for joining us this past weekend, Gloria—we’re truly sorry this didn’t hit the mark and appreciate your honest feedback. While we’re glad the ambiance and presentation stood out, the cocktails should’ve been just as impressive, and we’re disappointed they fell short. We've reached out to you directly to make things right. There’s always something new shaking up the Manhattan dining scene—we hope to see you again soon. Warmly, The Reyna New York Team
