Best Tapas in the area

by PQ

We hosted a wine tasting and tapas event for clients at SavorNY and could not have asked for a better venue. Craig and his team helped create a wonderful experience and I would absolutely head back with my wife and friends. The food was excellent and the portions were extremely generous. The wine menu was reasonably priced and had great selections (which Craig paired perfectly with our food). I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience and recommend SavorNY to all.

• Pros: Charming space, great food, great wine and excellent service
• Cons: Lack of a full bar

Example: great place for good bread

by iae21

Headed out to this place after reading a few reviews on here. The place is nice and cosy, but the seating is not too tight like other places in the city. The wait staff is very attentive, even though it was only two people. The wine list is extensive and reasonably priced. Average bottle is in the $30-$45 range. We picked three bottles and all three were EXCELLENT. You can tell that they put some thought into their selection.

The food is served tapas style, where it isnt huge quantities, but meant for sharing. Prices for the dishes were $8 - $15 range. Food presentation and flavor was a 10. I advise everyone to get the cheese/fruit platter as an appetizer prior to ordering your food. Well worth it and fairly priced!

Overall, if you're looking for a date spot, or a quiet place where you and your friends want to sit back and enjoy, then this is the place for you.

• Pros: Impecable service, excellent wine list, tasty tapas
• Cons: None

Wonderful Food!

by CSMobileUser4

Went to this tapas/wine tasting room to start the night of partying. The services was timely and the food was great. This is definately a place to go with girlfirends or datenight. All the finger and fork dishes or tatey and the dessert was out of this world.

SUPERB!

by tinnochka

Visited the restaurant yesterday for the first time. The food was fantastic, the wine was even better. The place is super tiny but very cozy. Service was impeccable. It's been a long time since I visited a place like that where everything just fell into place. Will definitely return for "seconds".

• Pros: great food, wine
• Cons: none

Great Brunch on a Lazy Sunday

by GillianPigg

I have been a regular since these guys opened and just found out that they rent the place out for private brunches for an unbelievably reasonable priced. We only had 13 or 14 people in our group, so I was a little surprised that they gave us the whole room without a room charge. With tax and tip, it was about $50 per person and we had unlimited bloody mary's and didn't have to deal with the riff raff of the LES brunch spots. Don't know if it because of the economy or because they are normally closed on Sundays, but I fee like it was a great deal. Apparently, they have similar pricing for Sunday dinners. Definitely worth checking out.

• Pros: Private Brunch, Reasonable Pricing
• Cons: Too Much Drinking

Most attentive and caring service in all of NYC

by allmyopinionsinoneplace

The food is very good and the wine list is very reasonable and has enough depth to meet most demands. But the reason for my post is the exceptional treatment of my date and i on a packed friday night complete with a rawckus birthday party taking up about 10 seats behind us. The lone waiter, bartender, host, somelier...whatever, he was the only person i saw working in the place and we were there from 9:30 till 1 AM....was awesome. He was thoughful and active and i wont go too much into detail but he helped the night along immensely. Complete with politely moving us away from the noise as space became available (initiated by him, we didnt ask) and providing a masterful soundtrack for the evening...we loved it, thanks dude.

• Pros: service service service
• Cons: tight space when crowded

Outstanding Experience

by GourmetFoods

I have eaten here a couple of times over the past year and just recently had my best experience of all. We ordered 6 things (a little more than we needed), so the waiter offered to split everything into 3 course and helped us with wine pairings for each course. He expertly paired wines with the different cuisines of each course and gave us a complimentary dessert wine after the meal - we were too stuffed for dessert. I have been here with big groups and with 2 other couples on 2 other occasions, but the personal attention we got during this meal made it our best experience so far. Can't wait to go back

• Pros: Space, Food, Service

Really Great Time - Solid Food & Wine

by king234

Recently had a private party for 25 people here and was pleasantly surprised with all aspects of the event. Staff was super attentive and the food was really flavorful and unique without being weird - if that makes sense? I have been to a lot of parties similar to the one I hosted here and few have been run so smoothly. All of my friends have been praising my selection for the last few weeks. Not to mention, the price was very reasonable and they are flexible with price if you are flexible with the time you are willing to start.

Great All Around Experience

by joeyballer

Tried them out based on a friend's recommendation and was pleasantly surprised. The space is very unassuming, but felt really warm and were treated well by staff. This is not your typical tapas place - most dishes have portions more like appetizers (5 was enough for 2 of us). Wines were tasty and reasonably priced and they also had a featured cocktail - Mango Margarita. The service was extremely attentive and hospitable, so much so that I am planning a private birthday party here in June.

• Pros: Flavors, Service, Warmth
• Cons: Limited Seating

Multi-culti melting pot of small plates with wine bar ambience.

by Kathleen Squires

In Short
Why take one of those double-decker bus tours through downtown when you can experience the area's diversity in this sliver dedicated to small-plates snacking? Sunny yellow walls and mirrors do their best to expand the space beyond Greyhound proportions, but it's the menu that covers the most ground, making stops in nabes like Chinatown with smoked duck wontons; the Jewish Lower East Side with Reuben Empanadas; and Little Italy with panzanella salad.
