Yerba Buena

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!!

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!

I went there last nite looking for a good Pisco Sour and I found it but the prices are way too overpriced not worth it - portions are very small -Food is good not great, I don't like the way the papa rellena is prepared - very smoky needs to have a better vent in the kitchen - like I said the pisco sour was good but tiny, half a glass --- will not recommend it or go back

Brunch here blew me away. We had friends with a baby in tow, and the staff was very friendly and accomodating. Also, the drink special is fabulous - 12 dollars all you can drink for an hour. The french toast with manchego is pretty unique and tasty. The guac was a bit spicy (in way that I loved, but others may not). I highly recommend this place for brunch - great atmosphere, food, and staff

I love it when out of town friends lead you somewhere literally down the street from you! Anyway, this place rocks. All I had was an amazing dark and stormy, the empanadas and the plaintains but it was all wonderful! I was with a large group and everyone was please with their food. Like the title states, I will be back.

Everything here was great! Looked at reviews before I went there and they didn't steer me wrong. Of my table, we go the calamari, oxtail, fish tacos and arepas to start. Every one was better than the next! Then for the entrees 2 ppl got the cod which was amazing, 1 paella (not your traditional paella but a great twist) and 1 special which was very good as well. The drinks were all delish and the owner could not have been nicer! He made sure to come around to every table and make sure the partons were happy.

The hostess Laticia was disorganized and extremely rude to us. The food was mediocre at best and pricey. They don’t take reservations and the restaurant is small and cramped. I wouldn’t recommend anyone waste their time because you can certainly get better latin food in a city like New York.
