RESTAURANT REVIEW

Back in 2004, before places like Casa Mono and Tertulia existed, Alex Raij and Eder Montero created the model for a successful tapas restaurant in New York City. The concept was simple. Be as authentic as possible, but when local ingredients differ from those in Spain, modify the dish without losing the spirit of the cuisine. Reviewers tell us they love going to this “little bit of Bilbao on the Hudson” to enjoy dishes like lamb meatballs in a minted broth and squid ribbons à la plantxa with sweet onion and pine nuts.
