I suppose this food passes for real tapas for most American customers but any self-respecting Spaniard would certainly turn their noses up at this mess. The potatoes and omelette...

Great experience - we'll return. 7/6/2007

Food was delicious (we tried 6 tapas, including grilled octopus, chorizo, meatballs, and omelette, which were all wonderful). Selection of wines by the glass was very good. Even in a small, busy space, the service was extremely attentive and friendly. We will be back! Pros: Food, service Cons: A little bit cramped more

Perfect date spot 2/26/2007

Las Ramblas is fantastic. It's a little shocking how small it is, but in the end, that was the best part! I came here on a date and had a fabulous time. It was easy to talk, the wait staff was very attentive, and they have an incredible Spanish wine list. I get so tired of the pretensious, over-priced and loud, trendy restaurants in the city. If you are looking for a quieter, well-priced tapas bar with great atmosphere, this is it! Pros: Food, Service, Wine, Small atmosphere Cons: Very tiny space more

warm and cozy 1/26/2007

I've been here about five times and the staff is super-friendly and have the cutest Spanish accents. The food is classic tapas - I recommend the garlicky sauteed mushrooms that come to the table sizzling, the cheese croquetas and octopus salad. Terrific wine list with inexpensive options. Great for dates and just kicking back with friends for conversation. more

Tiny and fantastic 1/18/2007

Las Ramblas is a true find. It's tiny and crowded, but only like a good friends apartment during a fantastic party. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. And the food is AMAZING. Everything is divine. I particularly enjoyed the spanish pepper stuffed with rice and cheese. Las Ramblas is unpretentious and amazing. I will definitely return! more

Outstanding Tapas! 1/14/2007

I was just there this past Friday and what an amazing time I had. It is a great place for a date as it is pretty small, seats about 30-35. I felt like I was in a small village in Spain visiting someone's house, that's how welcomed they made me feel. The tapas were absolutely delicious, the service impecable. You must try the red pear sangria, totally yummy! Enjoy! Pros: Service, Ambiance. Cons: Not for large group, it is very small. more

To owner of Las Ramblas 1/9/2007

Please stop posting reviews of herself, this site is supposed to be for genuine reviews. Please, you are destroying the integrity of this site. Thank you! more

Simply addicted to this place 12/28/2006

Las Ramblas is such an amazing spot. Not only is the food out of this world, but the service is amazing, wine list inspired, and ambience super cozy. Yes, it's tiny, but they have truly made the most of the tight quarters. Admittedly, it?s not great for large groups unless you?re prepared to wait, but it is very romantic and warm. Instead of bringing the entire high school reunion, make this a regular date spot. :) I've been back countless times (almost embarrassing how often I'm there), and I've never been disappointed. Anyone who doubts the authenticity of the cuisine has clearly only visited the tourist traps while abroad. The fried smelts are the best I've had anywhere, the tortilla is also better than most places in Madrid, and I simply can?t leave without having the Patatas Bravas. Not to say that the other menu items play second fiddle to these; everything is equally delicious! The specials are amazing; the chef colors outside the lines a bit with creative ingredients (like a whole baby pumpkin filled with perfectly prepared shrimp in a lemon cream sauce? too good for words), but he always seems to incorporate the authentic Spanish flavors we?re all seeking. The wine list is as impressive as it is reasonable and despite that fact that I can only seem to find a handful of Cavas in wine shops around the city, Las Ramblas has a selection of three which I?ve not seen anywhere else. Ok, so clearly I can go on and on, but bottom line, I love this place! Pros: Food, wine list, service, ambience Cons: small, but can also be a pro more

A great idea for a date you wish to get to know better. 12/26/2006

Wonderful place for a date. We found that if you go early, you can miss the crowds that roll in around 8:00pm. Food is very good (and filling) and they have a good wine list and tap beer selection. We never felt rushed, even when the place was filling up. Staff is friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and anticipates needs very quickly. I felt they were a little too attentive as they were always lingering around waiting to do something, probably due to the very small space. The seating is so-so, the best seats are in front of the windows, comfortably on pillows, otherwise be prepared to sit on high barstools at small, circular tables. Definitely not a place for groups over 4 (and 4 is pushing it). The proprietress is very sweet, charming and unassuming. Prices are fair, considering the neighborhood. Will definitely be around when all the other "hot" places burn out. If they could only have a little more room!! Pros: Staff, Decor, Food, Wine & Beer list Cons: Size, Hovering Service, Seating more

Amazing flavors, lots to offer! 12/2/2006

This tiny restaurant is located on a street full of fun bars and shops. Although it's small in size, the offerings and flavors that this restaurant provides is anything but small. A very good wine list with a great range of price, regions and grapes. The tapas were delicious. My boyfriend and I shared 4 tapas and a bottle of wine and were pleasantly full but not overly stuffed. We had a stuffed artichoke special, stuffed pepper, albondigas and chicken empanadas. Each dish was extremely flavorful and the portions were perfect. My only complaint is the tight quarters... it's bareable though. Pros: Awesome service, tons of flavor, fun location Cons: Tight quarters more

Good wine list, okay food 11/27/2006

Nice wine list. Txokoli was very refreshing and fun to pour. Food was just average, nothing really stood out. Nice ambiance and service was sweet. more

Authentic, Spicy Tapas 10/11/2006

The tapas were great. Nothing too outlandish or 'gourmet', just really authentic, home-style Spanish food. Shrimp with garlic, scallops, meatballs..were all very flavorfull and done just right. The potatoes were good but didn't stand out. Loved the tiny, almost cramped but still comfortable, space. The only problem I had with Las Ramblas was the Sangria..it tasted like Fruit Juice and after 2 pitchers were only barely tipsy (which again proved that it was mostly Fruit Juice). The wine list is great though! Pros: Food, Ambience, Wine List Cons: Sangria more

Great tapas in a great little place 9/11/2006

I had a lovely time at Las Ramblas last night. Despite what others have said, we were seated right away and a had a great table near the open front window. Our server was so nice and courteous, and the food was delicious and not too heavy. The strawberry sangria was great too, although I agree that it could be stronger! LR deserves its high ratings, especially in the romance department. Go with a small group or just two and you'll have a fabulous time! Pros: Great food, good prices, cozy atmosphere Cons: Could get crowded and cramped more

Great overall experience 8/6/2006

I went here on a Saturday night at 9pm and had a great time. Each of the three staff members I interacted with was extemely friendly and helpful. As other users have noted, the restaurant is very small, so expect to wait to get a table, and I wouldn't advise showing up with more than 4 people. I had read the reviews and was expecting to wait, so I was not put off at all by the 25 minutes it took us to get a table. We drank at the bar and they carried over our tab to the table without hesitation, which I thought was nice. There is a pretty eclectic offering with seafood, meats and vegetables all available. We ordered 6 tapas plates and all of them were very good. The seafood dishes in particular were all excellent. One thing to note, the sangria was very tasty, but did not seem to have much alcohol in it. Pros: good food, good atmosphere Cons: tiny, could seem cramped if you're not prepared more

Most authentic tapas experience in NYC...friendly and attentive service too. 7/21/2006

I decided to try Las Ramblas after reading their review in the 'Under $25' dining section of The NY Times. I must say, my visit exceeded my great expectations. With a wide array of food and wine, cozy atmosphere and warm, friendly customer service, Las Ramblas is on the fast track to becoming the hottest tapas bar in NYC. more

Not the real deal, not even close 7/13/2006

I suppose this food passes for real tapas for most American customers but any self-respecting Spaniard would certainly turn their noses up at this mess. The potatoes and omelette were sadly lacking and disappointing, the Sangria lacked the proper amount of alcohol and the finishing touch of brandy. Shrimp in garlic sauce was just that with nothing at all to distinguish it; this place is SO overrated I can't believe it. The chef must have just come from a short order diner as there is no originality here whatsoever. more

Fantastic Sangria 7/4/2006

Joined some friends for a birthday party here, and although it is not the best space for groups, they did a great job accomodating about 15 or so people coming and going throughout the evening. I was impressed with their flexibility. Delicious tapas (generous portions no less), out of this world sangria and fabulous service. So glad the birthday girl introduced this place to me - I can't wait to introduce it to others! Pros: Great sangria, lovely space, delicious food Cons: Too small for groups, noisy corner more

GREAT FOOD AND SANGRIA INSIDE A 4x4 box! 6/25/2006

So, I went there on my Birthday last Friday... I spoke to Natalie maybe a dozen times to make sure that she would be able to sit my 11 ppl party -I specified that it was my birthday and I wanted to have fun and that I was willing to wait 30-40 minutes or so but no longer. I asked her to be honest and tell me the truth of whether or not she had the space for us and when is the BEST time to arrive. She assured me that she has the space and to arrive at 9, soooo, when I came there with my whole party of 11 at 9 sharp, I wanted to cry...MY LIVING ROOM IS LARGER THAN THE RESTAURANT!!!! I simply did not know how she would fit us, and it was too late to go elsewhere, so 1 hour and 38 minutes later we were seated. I actually had guests who felt claustrophobic there. We had 3 bar style, tiny round tables, for every 4 people....it was awful!!!!!!!!!! I wish I was told the truth that the max capacity of the place is 20 ppl at it's best!!! This taught me an EXCELLENT lesson to check out the place thoroughly before I make any arrangements to go there. O, and on top of that....there were not enough menus for us....and the check was attached with a paper clip so when I paid my bill in cash, and attached it to a paper clip, I was actually asked why I left such a small tip AFTER they misplaced the money that I gave them....I counted it several times, and it was the right amount not my fault they lost it....Lesson #2 pay with a card so there is no discrepancy. I have to say...THE FOOD AND THE DRINKS are AMAZING, but iw as left with a very sour taste in my mouth...if she would only tell me the truth when i arrived there that the wait would not be 20 minutes but over an hour and a half...I would appreciate that even more!!!!! Pros: food, sangria, portions are pretty large for a tapas place Cons: TABLES!!!! SIZE SIZE SIZE!!!!! LONG WAIT!!!! more

a little piece of spain in NYC 6/12/2006

fabulous food, great wines (and well priced) and such enthusiastic/informative service - i feel like i am getting free spanish lessons with my dinner! rigo and john are too wonderful for words - highly recommend...just not on mondays (which is when we go so i want you to stay home so we can get a good table!!) Pros: food, atmosphere, price Cons: teeny weeny tiny space more

Absolutely Delicious!!! 5/22/2006

I went to this place with my girls and we loved it! Its definitly not a place for a big group, but the food is amazing! The staff is so friendly and on top of everything! Natalia is the sweetest server i ever had. Fernando is the best Tapas Chef in New York! This is a place you must try! Excellent. Cant wait to go back. Pros: Excellent Service, Best Tapas, Great Ambiance Cons: Small more

Tasty Tapas 4/28/2006

Nothing negative to write about this restaurant. The place is small, but wasn't crowded when we went on a Saturday night. Very romantic setting. The prices are very reasonable and the food is phenomenal. The duck sausage with quail eggs is outstanding! The staff was extremely friendly, and knowledgable about the dishes and the wine list. This place definitely has the best tapas in town, no need to ever go anywhere else! Pros: inexpensive, friendly staff, fast service more

Owner Message
  • Greenwich Village's bustling West 4th Street is home to an authentic new tapas bar called Las Ramblas. It is named for a famous pedestrian street in Barcelona, Spain. Las Ramblas at 170 West 4th Street, is b/t Jones & Cornelia Streets & near 6th Avenue in NYC. Compact & inviting with its carefully restored brick walls, Las Ramblas is a haven for tapas aficionados. Executive Chef Fernando Echeverri of Pamplona, Spain, puts out a variety of tapas in addition to special dishes of the day. A carefully selected list of fine wines from Spain's outstanding regions is served by the glass & the bottle. For Sangria lovers, the drink comes three ways, each in a tall, chilled glass or a pitcher & topped with a different fruit. For an authentic Tapas experience, Las Ramblas is open daily from 4pm-1am except Friday & Saturday from 4pm-2am. Join us for our Monday Night Spanish Wine Flights

Editorial
  • The Scene
    The Las Ramblas street sign outside the 28-person space refers to the famous street in Barcelona, and the tapas here are more economical than a plane ticket. A friendly staff guides small groups of diners to the day's specials and tapas bar favorites. Exposed brick, a copper bar, a trickling waterfall--all enliven the tapas-sized space.

    The Food
    It's hard to go wrong. A base of cured olives and crisp patatas bravas lead to a bubbling order of shrimp in garlic, white wine and lemon--a dish whose sauce demands an extra round of bread for the table. The party starts as dishes accumulate: crisped garlic-hued meatballs, addictive fried calamari, warm mini ham sandwiches. Don't miss the unique tuna mojama, smoke-cured so it resembles tuna-jerky; go further down this road with a plate of Spanish meats that move from gamey chorizo to spicy jamon.
