Agree with Amy
I love Spanish tapas and I can't agree with Amy more abotu being a small portion yet enough to share with friends. The "tapas" at Tutumba were itty bitty and for $16! The ceviche was delicious and presented nicely (martini glass) but it had, and i'm not lying, 3 tiny pieces of fish. Funny how Amy had pizza after because I also had pizza after. But went for the $1 slice kind cuz I spent waaay too much $$$ already. NEVER returning! Oh, the music was nice

Tapas style- translation: i'll give you a quarter of the food but charge you the same
Ok- enough with this 'tapas style' places. Do you even know what a Tapas restaurnat is like, a real one in Spain? It is first of all a laid back place with cheap prices and the portions are big enough for a few friends to try more than a bite of it. Now that this is out of the way, would you just pick what you are Tutuma? The way I see it they want to have a Pena atmosphere ( in a basement?) with Peruvian food (with a French Twist) have tapas size portions ( for anorexics) and charge Le Cirque prices. Don't be fooled_ all the good reviews are written by the owner. I fell for them too. $180 later I was still hungry and had to get a slice of Ray Bari's pizza upstairs to get ful ( they also own that- its a good business plan. Good music though.

disappointed
This is a pricey place. The live music is great. Extremely small portion of food and I had to come home eat again.

Very fun addition to a stale neighborhood
Finally something different in businessy midtown east. The food is excellent - I had delicious stuffed calamari with duck and black rice and a ceviche appetizer, and both were stellar. Prix fixe lunch is a great deal, but otherwise it's pricey. At least you get wonderful live music with your meal, though! I mean, where else can you have lunch to African-Peruvian sounds?! I hope this place thrives, but not too much; it's tiny in there, and I don't want to fight for a seat when I go back!

Loved it!
Went there last night with a friend, really wow! It's really inconspicuous from the outside except for a chalkboard sign, but then the music was incredible! And then we ordered food, and we were expecting jazz club food, and we got this really artfully plated dish with seared duck and calamari and another one with fondue and little square potatoes. It was lovely. We had the drinks, we danced, we met the owners and the musicians and some of the other patrons. Definitely going back to this one!
