I've been here on several occasions, most recently for a friends birthday dinner and the place hasn't changed in many years. The waitstaff are still the same old guys that barely crack a smile, the once white walls are still dingy, and the furniture and paintings are still dark and brown.
The menu is also consistent and consistently good a plentiful!

Once you sit down and order a drink, "tapas" or small plates of appetizers are brought to your table as part of your dinner. Spanish sausage, lamb ribs (in what seems like Chinese oyster sauce), steamed mussels in diced onions and vinegar, and bread with margarine.

To start, I ordered Snails In Burgundy Wine and they were fabulous!
My entree was Paella Valenciana with Lobster and it was enough for two!

Appetizers run about $6 each and entrees are less than $20.
The sangria is simply delicious and we had three pitchers!
This establishment does NOT accept credit cards! CASH ONLY!

Heard that this restaurant is packed on the weekends. I went on a Monday and it was pretty quiet.
Judging from the menu, this restaurant is part Spain and Basque (Spanish with French influence)

Definitely check this place out!

This branch opened on November 16, 2009 and every visit has been great!
Staff welcome you at the front doors with a smile and everyone is cordial even to the checkout.
When it first opened it carried a little of everything and some specialty foods that I have never seen even at the Queens branch.
Some items seem higher priced here than branches in Queens and Brooklyn but I think that may be due to the Manhattan real-estate.
