What People Are Saying About La Zarza Restaurant
The Owner
La Zarza Restaurant
Owner
La Zarza, a lively, sophisticated restaurant, opened in February 2008 in New York's perennially hip East Village. A destination that intertwines indigenous Argentinean and Spanish cuisine and culture on the multifaceted menu, which features flavors, ingredients and techniques from both cultures. The harmonious combination of cultures is housed in a candle-lit, rustic space with chocolate brown walls, and Spanish inspired decor. International DJ's set the mood with soft, global sounds creating a smooth, rhythmic environment. NOW EVERY WEDNESDAY LIVE MUSIC with "FLAMENCO NIGHTS"

In Short
A rustic-urban ambiance--think wood meets exposed brick--infuses this bi-level boite where DJs drop global beats and the kitchen crafts Argentinean-Spanish hybrids. Either sup on entrees, such as Patagonian rib-eye steak kicked up with chimichurri sauce and grilled duck magret partnered with blackberries, or concoct a meal from plentiful small plates. Almond-stuffed dates wrapped in smoked bacon, quince-glazed short ribs and crispy calamari provide a precursor for a dessert empanada oozing with gooey chocolate.

La Zarza's warm romantic atmosphere of dark wood and great music is a nice oasis on First Ave. The food is great and the drinks are wonderful. La Zarza delivers on flavor for all the senses.

I organized a 20+ dinner and party at LaZarza for my wife's birthday. The management was responsive and easy to work with in organizing the event, the space was accomodating, and the waitstaff was extremely attentive. I would highly recommend planning a large group event at LaZarza!!

What to Drink:
Opt for a cucumber-tequila cocktail amped up with muddled jalapenos, or try a pitcher of sangria available in three fruity flavors: strawberry, peach-mango or guava-pineapple.
When to Go:
Only the front dining room is open during weekdays, so tables are scarce after 8pm.
The Extras:
Sit at the bar and look down: A forest's worth of wood is nestled beneath a layer of glass.
