Been here several times and each time the experience has been truly exceptional. Amazing service, incredible food, the kindest and loveliest staff. The food and drinks are nuanced, creative, and sophisticated, and I’ve never met a friendlier or more generous team. Love this place.
I was taken back by the decor of the restaurant, so sleek and inviting and don’t get me started in their food. Each dish is crafted to perfection with love in every bite. Perfect place to wine and dine any night of the week. Lovely staff with an outstanding ambiance, will be back very soon!
The dishes are authentic yet original and incredibly delicious. The service and employees are warm and inviting. The space is absolutely gorgeous. I really can’t say enough about Ernesto’s - we love it and highly recommend!!!
The people at Ernesto's are fantastic, so friendly, warm and welcoming. We mixed up our reservation and they made an extra effort to find us a table.
Everything we had was mazing, really delicious rabbit with rice, and the pork collar was so tender. We ended with the trifle, so indulgent and delicious. I will definitely plan on coming back here again.
Disclaimer: this review is based on the general Spanish food scene in New York City, NOT THAT IN SPAIN!!! TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STANDARDS!!!!
I would say that Ernesto’s is definitely the best Spanish restaurant so far in NYC, along with the improved food quality in Mercado Little Spain. The price is definitely at the higher end, so please keep that in mind if you decide to go.
What I like:
1. croquetas (you know it’s gonna be good when the bechamel inside is moist and oozy, the outside is crunchy and crispy)
2. tortilla de patatas!!!! (This one is a must. The best tortilla so far in nyc I’ve ever had. The inside is oozing out when you cut it. Hella good. Gotta give this 12/10)
3. Callos madrileños (no explanation needed)
4. Milhojas (riquísimo!!!)
5. Pork collar (ibérico pork, no need to explain)
6. Gildas (this one is good, but needs more olive oil 7/10)
7. Patatas con paleta de jamón (chips are crispy, reminds me of Spanish aperitivo)
What I don’t like:
1. Txistorra - outer needs to be CHARRED more, por favor
2. Ensalada de tomate - Where is the salt? Where is the olive oil???
3. Escabeche - we were expecting the classic escabeche (like the one prepared with perdiz)
We didn’t order pan con tomate but gotta say that it looks good. Service was ok, could be better and more efficient. We definitely did not appreciate the 20% gratuity added to our bill.
