Next Door Tapas Lounge

Hyped up

by girlnextdoor7 at Citysearch

I went here with a friend at around 6pm on a Friday and I think we arrived at the same time as all the employees. The place was dead! We left at around 8pm and only a handful people were there. The food was overpriced for the extra tiny tapas portions we received. The wine was good (but you really can't mess that up). The bartender was a little snobby and not friendly, but helpful with picking a wine. No music and lacked the tapas ambiance that I like. I'd go again for the wine, but not for food.

• Pros: Nice Spanish wine menu
• Cons: Overpriced tapas dishes

Great Bar! Forget the Tapas!

Great New York vibe in a quaint underground-like setting. The bar is quite phenomenal and great for lounging on the romantic couches spread around the fireplace. Glass of wine..$11. Waitress...priceless. This bar space will impress even the most cynical of sceptics!

Food...very plain and non-eventful! Patatas my *ss! It's nothing but overweight french fries dipped in melted cheese! McD can put their fries to shame!

...oh, and by the way, we ordered soup that was never served but included in our bill. The waiter later apologized blaming the error on a computer problem.

Funny composition of dining experience...a fabulous bar leading to a Spanish Tapas Bar connected by a door to an Italian restaurant (La Loggia's). Though the stylish bar and ambiance rule, the food is very forgettable!!!

• Pros: Lounge Bar scene and ambiance
• Cons: food and waiters
