replying to u/Comfortable-Power-71: Add Txikito to the list. Best tapas in NYC.
“it's hit or miss really! their octopus carpaccio was amazing, and their braised beef cheek, but we actually had to ask the waiter for salt because the hake cheek we had was so bland. the foie gras was great on its own but the floral gels paired with it were overpowering. really good place if you know exactly what to order, but not everything on their menu is a hit~”

“This might have been our second or third favorite meal of the trip though for some dishes it’s a fair question to ask if the enjoyment was really the product of good cooking vs good shopping. Either way, this place rocked, with a lot of care and craft clearly put into high quality ingredients.”

replying to u/dew89: I went and had a pretty mediocre meal there, but possibly just ordered wrong. St Julivert which is run by the same group is one of my favorite restaurants in the city though so I’m honestly willing to give them another chance
“They are definitely worth another try, imo.”
