Great food, great service, great atmosphere, can't ask for much more! The service is fabulous, all of the people I interacted with were just lovely and provided wonderful recommendations. The food is great and they have some really unique dishes. I absolutely love the mushrooms with raw egg yolk - I was a bit nervous but was amazing. Highly recommend!!

..eh.. the place seems pretty decent but definitely not my style. $20+ for a can of fish and some radish.

We found Huertas when we were looking for a private dining area for a small celebration.TL;DR: Our experience was nothing short of wonderful. The food was spectacular, the staff was so helpful and our guests enjoyed the lunch thoroughly.Must haves: The Patatas Bravas, the Pulpo and the Saffron Fried Rice. Also, their delicious cocktails!The Food and Drinks:During our tasting we ordered an assortment of small and large plates.All the food was delicious and the half portions were generous - but the standouts for us were the patatas bravas (and we've tried this pretty much all over the city), the pulpo, the saffron rice with shrimp and bacon, the squash with goat cheese and the Cassis and Desist cocktail. The pulpo was especially well cooked - it was fresh, not over or undercooked and was paired with a wonderfully tangy spice.During our event the food was absolutely delicious. Even the simplest of dishes were elevated.The ensalada was very fresh and a great dish which cut through the more heavy starters. The squash with goat cheese was great. The goat cheese was creamy and the spice the squash came with was absolutely delicious.The mushrooms were delicious and well-spiced - not too garlicky and firm. The patatas bravas were as delicious as they were during our tasting - and we're generously spiced with a dollop of aioli on top. They truly melted in your mouth!Moving onto the bigger dishes - the chorizo was good, and it paired nicely with the lentils and carrots.The saffron rice was a huge hit. It was well cooked, well-seasoned, and we especially enjoyed the tiny bits of crunchy fried rice.We were a bit worried about ordering the steak, especially because we hadn't tasted it, but it turned out to be pretty good! The steak and the peppers went together extremely well - and it was cooked as medium-rare, which was ideal for an event, as it didn't get chewy as time passed.We took a drink package which allowed us to have alcoholic and non-alcoholic options, with wine and cocktails. The restaurant selected the wines to go with the food as we knew nothing about wines - our guests were happy with the selection. The cocktails we ordered were the Cold Brew martini, the Cassis and Desist (excellent), and the Persephone (refreshing). Our party didn't have big drinkers, but a number of our guests were happy to have second and third drinks.Service (Before and During the Event):We'd never booked a private room before, and Huertas' reasonable prices and prompt and accommodating responses from the minute we reached out, were key for it to make our shortlist. The restaurant let us order half portions, which allowed us to taste as many dishes as possible before selecting the ones we liked for our event.About a third of our guests had food intolerances and allergies, and the restaurant actively worked with us to figure out alternatives without charging us an outrageous amount.The staff was amazing and helpful throughout our event. The restaurant is closed during lunch, so the fact that they were able to accommodate our event during that time made the event feel extra private and special.During the event, the staff was patient and attentive. The food was plentiful, and our guests didn't have to wait for dishes to arrive.Our guests stayed for a bit over the event time. But I'm glad to say that we weren't pushed out, everyone was patient and friendly and let us wrap things up. They also packed up our food promptly.Overall would highly recommend Huertas, not just for a delicious dinner with friends, but also as a place where you can book a nice, intimate, fun event with friends and family!

I chose this place because it was featured on an Eater article of good happy hour deals - but what I was really impressed with was the FOOD! We ordered a few different dishes as this was tapas style food. Each dish just as good if not better than the last! Flavor combinations that I'm surprised worked very well together. Service was top notch! Our servers name was Anna and she was wonderful, which underscored how amazing the experience was here.We got the croquette which was truly melt in your mouth experience, the happy hour bisque dog which was AMAZING for how simple it looks, patatas bravas which was seasoned and cooked to perfection, the shishito peppers which was the perfect combination of fresh and savory, the eggplant toast - the most perfect combination of ingredients in terms of taste and texture, the nassari - very different but fresh and dynamic flavor, kabocha squash - MY FAVORITE, it tasted like the month november, and the "gambas Al ajillo" shrimp was one of the best I've ever had! Only docking a star because they had a few great drinks when it came to single ingredients (the red vermouth tasted so good and cozy, white vermouth was very fresh and bright) but the happy hour G&T wasn't very good and the wine tasted very cheap. It was disappointing to not have a more extensive happy hour menu and not very many good ones since that's what we came for.Don't come for the drinks, except for just the red vermouth but come for the food for sure!

Huerta's was end-to-end great. Jonah Miller (the chef) was attentive, courteous, and professional with arranging the booking. There were no surprises when it came to the bill. The private room is laid out well with a sense of still being a bit a part of the main restaurant. Above all, the food was nothing short of excellent. We did the Family Style with patas bravas, manchego, padrons, a shrimp and a sausage dish as mains. Getting food on the table for 35 people at once must be difficult, most of the time it isn't very good. These were all dishes clearly selected and prepared with care, and they really worked scaled up. Then I had a birthday cake for 20-25 brought in from outside, which the crew magically managed to cut into 35 (thanks for that!). I'd choose then again in a second!

5/4 Of particular interest was a plate of sardines, anchovies, etc that could easily be be done at home. Their octopus was mushy.

As a Spaniard going into this restaurant I had high expectations and it went above and beyond, the saffron fried rice had the best of both worlds and perfectly encapsulates a Spanish rice while giving a bit of an Asian twist. Extensive wine list and overall an incredible experience. Will definitely return in the future. The service is impeccable and super friendly, our server Lola made our experience one of a kind. Made our anniversary one to remember

The food was excellent, especially the steak, croquettes, sardines and pulpo. We also enjoyed the pan con tomate and the mushrooms are a must order...get the egg yolk. Service was friendly and on point. The Rose was delicious and cold. Served perfectly!!!

We were seated in the back room, which is very nicely decorated. We started with the pan con tomate, I ordered mine with jamon (you pick between anchovies, jamon and manchego) and my partner ordered it as is. The waiter asked if they would prefer shishito peppers instead since they were not getting any of the 3 extras and we said yes. The pan con tomate was pretty good, a nice size platter with olives and pickled on the side. The peppers were really tasty and nicely salted.Next we had the patatas bravas and tortilla espanola. Both were great, but the tortilla was a bit oily and both were a bit salty. Again, a good size portion, especially for restaurant week. The entrees were the sausage and shrimp. The sausage was alright, but the dish did not really go together (it had corn and cherry tomatoes). The shrimp were good but extremely oily and again, both dishes were salty though both were decent sizes. Overall the quantity was good, but the food was just ok and too salty for our liking. Our waiter Hector though was fantastic and made it a nice experience. PSA the restaurant can get loud.

What a gem in the east village! The seasonal foie gras pintxo bite is to die for. GET IT. I also really love the basque dog, which pleasantly surprised me. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I find myself repeatedly ordering the chorizo, gambas, and one of the tinned fish options. Great for happy hour, a snack, or whole meal. I appreciate the drink menu makes me feel like I'm in Spain with the simple classics: gin tonics, tinto de verano, and amazing selection of vermouth (try both red and white on tap!)Not to be outdone, service has always been warm, friendly, and fun. It's a nice change of pace to not feel rushed out of a Manhattan restaurant and connect with the staff - so wonderful!

But I personally was not awed by the dishes. I spent 10 days in Bilbao and SAN Sebastián eating away Pintxos etc... I was disappointed. The sausage which did taste like Merquez was salty.The mussels served from Spain is canned - served with accouterments of aioli garlic, butter with paprika, slices of radish, parsley bleated and peppers. The little cripSpanish crackers shaped like miniature baguettes were fine.There was nothing in the dishes we ordered that told me I should be back. So sorry for this experience.I know another better place for Basque food here.
