Alcala

Chef Jesus Martinez has created a slice of heaven close to Grand Central.

We loved the food and how he brings many dishes to you and chats with you. Everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly- he is a master of his art. My son loved each course of the $28 prix fixe (great value for the amount of food). We loved the tapas and dessert.

Bring your friends and enjoy an intimate, leisurely-paced meal.

Average price, average to good taste, portion size varied.

Dined in, think we tried the charcuterie, sardines, squid ink pasta, steak. Liked the squid ink pasta; the steak was a large size. Liked the sardines as well, though the taste was strong but simple.

This is one of my go to restaurants in NYC. Excellent + friendly staff and high quality food. I love their sangria. All of the tapas are great. The vibe is also great, very clean restaurant. I recently ate in one of the igloos they set up for the winter and it was great. They have a Bluetooth speaker in each igloo and you can connect your own music via Bluetooth. They also have a cute fire pit heater that heated up the igloo well. It was warm and toasty inside. Highly recommend this restaurant!

The food was AMAZING. The chef is very personable and makes you feel more than welcomed. Definitely worth coming and will visit again.
