    Claire provided excellent service for our pre-Opera birthday dinner. Great recommendations and timing. Loved the foie amuse, cotton candy pop, peach burrata, octopus & creamed spinach. I would eat ALL of their desserts! Riverside view was perfect. Nice touch when the Concierge introduces himself with his card. Con for the location of restrooms (need to take elevator).

    Everything about Little Madrid Tapas Cafe was perfect. Having spent many years in Spain, this place is the real deal. They have a fabulous selection of wine and a wide array of traditional tapas and pintxos from anchovies and croquetas to morcilla and queso de cabra. The service was perhaps my favorite part. Our waiter went above and beyond for us and our requests and was very attentive to our needs and experience while also giving us plenty of space to catch up without too many interruptions. This is a gem of a cafe that can serve as both a great date night spot or a place for a casual happy hour with friends or colleagues.

    Beautiful restaurant with very good food and creative drinks. While the smash burger looks unassuming when placed in front of you the second you pick it up you know it's something special. It has some serious weight to it and it tastes really and I mean really good. My wife had the steak salad and loved it. The sangria was very good as well. Overall a great dinning experience.
