The Spaniard

“Make sure you can wait to get a sit in the bar or a table. Great spot if you are young and mingle. Way too crowded for my taste. It was hot in there. Great drinks!”

“Well if this isn't a perfect late night destination in NYC, I don't know what is! A last minute whim landed me in NYC on Holiday Eve 2024 and I needed a meal. Walking through the cold streets, I stumbled upon The Spaniard which has quickly become one of my favorite NY destinations! We were there for a quick 30 hour trip to experience the "Holiday Magic". After a long day of travel, we just needed something good. We arrived and they accommodated us in a back booth tucked behind the bar, perfect! Our waiter was a delight and very responsive. The martini was kick-ass and our waiter was kind enough to offer us many recommendations. We landed on Charbroiled Oysters, Steak Tartare, and French Onion Dip. Someone slap me, I'm drooling while I write this review over a year later. Seriously, phenomenal. Every bite was amazing! We cleared the table and manged a few cocktails during our time with The Spaniard. If you are ever in the West Village, stop by, you won't be sorry! Thanks me later, actually!”

“Gotta say- one of the best burgers and fries I've had in the city! Magnificent ambience, a little pricey, but worth it. Note that you should get a reservation, but if not, you'll only have to wait a few minutes. Fancy place with a casual aura.”

“We came here for a quick happy hour because it was on our way to a dinner with friends visiting from out of town. It was a great decision because the food we ordered and the service we experienced made us cancel our dinner and reserve a table here instead. I dont want to over hype it but I really had a great time here and my friends were treated so well. For brunch, we had the oysters, artichoke dip, and calamari. All amazing. Drinks were really good too. But Phil was our server and his energy and the overall experience was the best part. I love when a server cares about the food their recommending. When our friends came, we got our table and ordered some amazing entrees that were simple but really good. My only issue we saw was that the salad had tomatoes in it even though it wasn't listed in the ingredients on the menu. One of the members of our group has a bad allergy to tomatoes so that could have ended bad but we caught it early enough. Phil handled it and took care of us. Such an overall great experience. Can't wait to go back and have Phil be our server.”

“This was my second time going to a corporate event at The Spaniard: Pros: - The catered food was excellent — we ordered the grilled cheese bites, smash burgers, fries, bruschetta, corn fritters, and onion rings, and everything was a hit. -Great location and atmosphere. -Our server was fantastic — attentive, friendly, and very accommodating. -The events team was quick and responsive over email, which made planning easy. Cons: The general manager came across as quite unfriendly and cold to me. It made parts of the event feel less enjoyable, which was disappointing given how great the rest of the staff and food were.”
