Great little spot! We sat at the wine bar. The ambiance was enjoyable, music is not too loud. The sommelier gave us great suggestions for wine. Some of the dishes were a miss (paella croqueta and pulpo a la plancha, namely) but we totally fell in love with the fluke crudo, creamy eggs, and bone marrow. Another thing to note, the food temperature was a bit inconsistent, and some dishes that needed to be hot, arrived lukewarm. Overall though, we had a very enjoyable dinner and would come back to try other dishes from the menu.
Lovely joint with great wine and tapas. After dinner, walked past this place and decided to take a look. A little squeeze but we came late so not too bad! Ordered Spanish wines at decent price ends up drank 2 bottles of it. The Jamon iberico , pork coquette, tomato bread and other tapas. Great service and nice ambience to chill after a long day work.
A generous pouring keeps the patrons returning. Stopped by for a night cap post dinner. After a brief wait at the bar, we were seated outside. The brought our drinks that we ordered at the bar to our table. The wines were all excellent, you can’t go wrong with closing your eyes and selecting any of the glasses. And the pours were generous, much more so than many other restaurants. The wine tasting brought knowledgeable insight for the vineyard. The waiter was prompt, friendly, and humorous. The jamon on point. I’d like to come back and try all their other dishes because they did look delicious.
another fantastic night at Bar Jamon! I love that real elbow to elbow wine bar feel. It’s all very intimate and cozy and delicious. I always appreciate the wine and drink selection here and we had a really wonderful dry basque cider this evening. As alwaya the ceviche was super refreshing clean and tasty (I swear my pic does it no justice) and was the perfect complement to the savory filling octopus with chickpeas. Our server Antonio did an amazing job helping us pick a wine (we wanted medium body white and don’t know a ton about wine) and he helped us pick out the octopus and burratta which were both perfect. This is a great spot for a date or a casual hang - even though it can feel a bit crowded it is never loud. I think the closeness in the atmosphere is really nice and feels like a dof experience for nyc…of course DO NOT skip the churros. Can’t wait to be back again soon
We dined on tapas at this cute little spot/ wine bar…we ordered the pan con tomato ( delicious, reminded me of my time in spain), jamon serrano, and the octopus- both also yummy! On this visit we did not get the wine but next time will! Highly recommend!
Had marinated mussels, board of 6 different kinds of cheese , plate of jamon, and 5 glasses of white wine from Jerez. I was enjoying it, it was delicious and fun. And of course, the best churros for dessert I've ever tried. I didn't ask for my servers name, but she was super nice and very knowledgeable. I'm definitely coming back and bringing more people.
Probably closest thing nyc has to a tapas place, encouraging people to be in a tighter space, also standing up at the bar, small plates, good wines. Really like the atmosphere.
Spent an unforgettable evening here with good food & drinks under a warm romantic setting that encourages calmness and intimacy. This is a great spot for one of those first dates where you can strike a good lengthy conversation without being interrupted. The bartender knows exactly what you need if you take the time to explain, and is very friendly. Thanks for a great time!
