Profile

The dark, tenebrist atmosphere seems ripe for romance, but don’t expect to have a quiet conversation with your dining partner at La Paella. Instead, succumb to the party atmosphere and the Spanish techno of this energetic Basque eatery. The namesake paella comes in five flavors, and all are abundant with tasty ingredients like chorizo, vegetables and various seafood. For indecisive diners, tapas allows for a culinary exploration of the Spanish peninsula, so order an assortment as you pour yourself a pitcher of the light and fruity sangria. — Sandra Nygaard

Note

Reservations are only accepted for parties of six or more.

Easily one of my most favorite restaurants in the city. The sangria is subperb and any one of their seafood tapas will not disappoint. I also think that their ceviche is some of the best around and should not be overlooked. If you aren't in the tapas mood that would be my suggestion. I have to say that their service is also above the rest, especially for New York standards.

You must try this place!

Three of us came here late one Monday night for tapas. We were not disappointed! The service was excellent. I think we went through 3 pitchers of sangria it was so good. The food was also amazing, some of the best spanish tapas I've ever had. It's crowded, not many tables so you might want to go a little early. But it's a place definatly worth the trip!
