If your traveling to NYC, or live there and are looking a new place to eat.....Las Ramblas should NOT be missed. From their friendly/proffesional service to their AMAZING tappas you would be hard pressed not to enjoy yourselves......Out Door tables are a must if you enjoy people watching (best in the city)....If your their with friends try a Porron (Spanish drinking device, very fun) and if your not that great with wine, they have that covered too....with an in-house expert.....I give this place 5 stars easy....the food is always consistantly awesome, and the atmosphere is cozy and cool....perfect for a date or family and friends

Tiny place! Tiny portions.

by violette06

Can't say it was bad overall, but the space is so tiny, it was hard to enjoy it. I am a small person, but was afraid to move my elbow so that I don't move my neighbor's plate. Sangria felt like it had no alcohol, but it was tasty (strawberry one) Service was very pleasant.

  • Pros: Food taste, sangria, service, location
  • Cons: tiny space, tiny portions,
