Came for a restaurant week, food had an average flavour profile very heavy on carbs and fats. Gnocchi and arancini were basically in the same sauce. Bread pudding was not to my liking - too soggy and bland.

I was expecting the food better for the price we paid. The service could also be a little better.

Great food, very creative and tasty. Staff were really friendly too. Be sure to order some bread to soak up the sauce!

About the restaurant
The second to open of the abc restaurant trio was abc cocina, a stark contrast of menu and interior design to abc kitchen. Moody lighting and shareable small Latin-inspired plates encourage large groups to enjoy a family style feast or date night by candlelight. The menu celebrates local produce and international flavors, featuring a variety of dishes and house-made cocktails such as Margaritas and Sangria, available à la carte or in large format pitchers. As a Jean-Georges restaurant, abc cocina offers a vibrant dining experience with a lively bar scene, communal tables and cozy nooks, inviting parties of all sizes. The restaurant is open for lunch, brunch, happy hour, and dinner, inviting guests to savor its diverse culinary offerings throughout the day.

Great atmosphere! The dishes were super yummy, but choose a few more then you think you’ll need because some dishes were very small portions. Our waiter was great and the service was exceptional from the time we entered the restaurant until we left! Will definitely go back!

About the restaurant
Inspired by the Japanese Bonsai Tree which is a miniature tree cultivated to resemble nature in a modest space and nurtured with artistic interaction, Bonsaii Tapas & Wine Bar is the ultimate representation of its namesake.
Our cuisine is inspired in International tapas, where everybody will feel welcomed and find something of their taste, putting spin on classic dishes and bringing creative new ones. Our "Secret Garden" is the perfect hidden gem in Midtown East for finding calm in the stress and noise from the city , located walking distance to Central Park and Bloomingdale's and in between some of the most popular avenues (Lexington Ave and Park Ave).

This was the second time we've been to Bazar Tapas. The first time we came we had the tapas plates. The baby lamb chops, the patatas bravas, and the wild mushroom croquettes were are favorites. This time we had the seafood paella. It was phenomenal! The service was great and the ambience perfect.

Overall experience is great. The food was really good. We had a charcuterie board like the cheese and a couple of margaritas which weren’t sweet, which is nice to have.
