Spectacular...
With an inventive,adventurous,and well executed menu influenced by various latin american cuisines, it's no surprise getting a table here is almost as difficult as getting a seat at the bar. That's because the cocktails are just as inventive and adventurous. The entire concept is well thought out and delivered equally so. Expect to pay, but what you get is worth more than the figure on the check.

Best cocktails!
This is a perfect mid-week place AND it’s on Open Table. The restaurant is modest on the outside but inside is a warm lively room run by a charming and hospitable owner and manager!! Every dish was delicious. The fish tacos were full of fresh flavors!! Our table’s favorites were the panco-coated hearts of palm and empanadas. The paella was very unique yet delicious. Share several of the small dishes, you will not be disappointed! AND If you are hosting a group dinner or bachelorette take a look at the great hidden room downstairs! It’s adorable!! I will definitely host a party down there.

This place is a little GEM. Service was beyond attentive. Food was absolultely delicious. We had the Cod- it was like butter. The ribs were great too. Loved the fish tacos. Can't say enough great things. Perfect little date night place.

Great Experience from Start to Finish
I had never been before, but based on the previous reviews I figured this would be a good spot for a special occasion dinner. I took my boyfriend out for his birthday and couldn't have been happier with our experience. We were seated right on time, the atmosphere was dark and intimate but still fun. Our waitress was very nice and offered her favorite items on the menu, since it was our first time. The drinks were delicious and strong! We chose to order a few small plates instead of an entree and each dish was better than the next. The beef empanadas were fantastic! The restaurant provided a happy birthday dessert (with sparklers) free of charge as well as a complimentary glass of champagne to toast my boyfriend's birthday. I highly recommend Yerba Bueno for a date night, small group dinner or special occasion. You won't be disappointed!

Outstanding
The moment you arrive you are greeted by a very sharp host/hostess . Although we had no reservation which we understood on a Saturday night we were happy to wait at the bar where we had a very spicy picante drink. Our table became available , we were so excited about getting a table since thru friends they raved about this place! We orderd the black cod ... So good my date ordered ribeye soo tasty. Someone must have overheard me talking about my birthday which was the following day.. Minutes later this huge rocket candle on a dessert came out I was happy and felt so special! These guys pay attention! I was already happy but that birthday wish and candle was really nice! It's like the whole restaurant stopped for me on that day.. Will be back!! My best New York memory so far!!

Above and beyond
After traveling 6yrs straight and working in the fashion world I have eaten in many fine exquisite restaurants. In comparing the restaurants I love like Il bulli in spain Per se in NY or Daniel in Ny they are top notch .In my personal opinion this little restaurant can hold its own from the moment you walk into this litle gem you feel special.They are not like those restaurants I mentioned interms of size in name but...but then again they are only 2 or 3yrs old I have been here 3times and the food and service are consistent the brunch crowd is a boozy crowd dinner however more refined...This place packs a mean punch just give them some time they are still young in the game but can hang with the Giants......Poquito Picante drink WOW!
