Profile

This venue is closed.

If you really concentrate, the downstairs space at Danny Meyer's Tabla can feel like what it essentially is—a lobby with a fancy restaurant overhead. But it's best to ignore that notion and set to work kicking back any number of the wines served in stemless glasses, boutique beers on draft or signature cocktails. The trademark Tablatini is made with citron vodka, fresh pineapple juice and lemongrass. Have one with a sampling of what may be the best bar food in the city—just try the tandoori hanger steak. — Sarah Bernard

Extra

Meyer is responsible for the revitalization of Madison Square Park (across the street from Tabla) and helped plan the sculpture garden for the park's north end.

Stuffed my face

What a meal. The food here is wonderful. The tapas and other dippings were to die for. I ate everything in site, including the fresh guacamole...the best I've ever had. The fried food is irresistable. You could stuff your face on appetizers alone. I enjoyed my self a little too much, helping my self to too many cocktails. Which by the way are out of this world. The staff was knowledgeable about the food as well as the wine. So good! My stomach is growling just thinking about it. After work crowd could be a little obnoxious, I recomend making reservations a little later in the evening to avoid over crowding at the bar and noisy yuppy types.

Unique, exotic, hot

A hip young crowd packs this place for the one-of-a-kind exotic drinks like tamarind margaritas, the fantastic mini-breads models on Indian parathas and naan, plus the bar menu, which is just as good as the much pricier food upstairs. One of a kind.
