Sneakeater Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 This place is a blast. There is no better bar to eat at in New York right now. (I’m sure the dining room is also great fun.) And the food is actually GOOD. COMP DISCLOSURE: They just told me I’m about to receive some comped new menu item that goes with the comped glass of wine they just poured me.

Sneakeater Posted March 9 Author Share Posted March 9 The new tuna confit iteration. You all can totally eat this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted March 9 Author Share Posted March 9 New York has never had a plethora of very good (as opposed to good-for-cheap) Spanish restaurants. But now there’s here, Ernesto’s, and Casa Dani. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted March 9 Author Share Posted March 9 Not that any of them makes you feel like you’re in Spain, don’t get me wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Orik Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Casa Dani is weird. Some good stuff like the tuna carpaccio, some inexplicable like a way undercooked paella, but I guess every Dani Garcia restaurant I've been to was like that. I'm curious as to whether this all represents an embracing of Spanish food, or just a decline of everything else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sneakeater Posted March 9 Author Share Posted March 9 I’m actually thinking I need to revisit Salinas — a place I’m surprised to see is still open — to see how it fits into the current scene. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Apparently I had a bad meal at Salinas, but that was over 10 years ago. But Sneak is right about El Quijote. It's just hugely enjoyable right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted April 7 Author Share Posted April 7 That butifarra really IS good. I came here from a flamenco show. Not much Andalusian food on the menu. But I’m drinking a lot of Sherry, The Official Fortified Wine Of Flamenco. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted April 7 Author Share Posted April 7 They really DO have the best playlists of anywhere in New York here. At least if you’re me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neocon maudit Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Specifics, please, gentlemen, some details for those of us too mundane to feast on vibe alone. I read that the restaurant has shrunk significantly. Has the food improved proportionately? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted April 7 Author Share Posted April 7 Given how bad the food used to be, it would almost have had to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted April 7 Author Share Posted April 7 For food alone, I’d clearly go to Ernesto’s. But this place is just A BLAST. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted April 7 Author Share Posted April 7 @Neocon maudit — in the way of MFF, most of the discussion isn’t in this thread but rather starting here: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
