Not so Alta (high in spanish)

by Elinyct

They should rename it to "Bajo" (low in spanish)

I took a date over there and it was one of my worst dates ever. and I have been around the block once or twice.

first, you cant carry a decent conversation, the place is crowded and the acoustics are terrible, if you are ok with screaming over your food - go for it, thats your problem, if you look for an intimate conversation, decent space between tables, some kind of magic while you eat with your partner then avoid at all cost. the food was ok, I wasnt blown away but again, I could not really enjoy it in that setting. it was very hot over there and took a while untill the AC was turned on- I am speaking about august in new york city. seriously, I am pretty open minded person and easy to satisfy and not a new comer to the city - do yourself a favor and stay away, unless you like the vulgar scene.

• Pros: Price
• Cons: Very noisy, bad service, rude bartender, over crowded

Wonderful West Village experience

by michelleschiano

I love going here. Taking out of town friends through the kitchen to the dining room that faces 10th Street is always fun. Hanging and having nibbles at the bar is a perfect mid-week hang, too. And in winter, you can't beat fireplace-side seating.

• Pros: Great wine and food, beautiful and fun vibe

Beautiful place, amazing food

by nandinigreenmango

This place is gorgeous - it makes you feel like you've stepped out of NYC and into a beautiful home somewhere in Spain. The food is amazing and the menu offers almost anything you can think of!

• Pros: Best cheese!
