10/10 flawless @txikitonyc after 4 years I found the best spanish restaurant in nyc. We had gildas with txistorra, pulpo carpaccio, alcachofas con jamon, arroz meloso, and tarta de queso. The decor is on mark, and the service was measured and professional.

This was a sweet, swanky little restaurant in Chelsea! We had really great service and our waiter was nice and helpful (we had many questions). It did feel as though he was pushing us to order more, versus helping us decide between what we told him we were interested in. I felt that the prices were very high for the portions of the dishes, but I can only assume that's because they use higher quality ingredients. Honestly these dishes are not for the faint of stomach, definitely a lot of interesting flavors, herbs, and dishes. Do some menu searching before you decide to come!

Txikito has been a mainstay in our repertoire over the past several years. A good, soothing meal when you most need it, a place that you never need to doubt or second-guess. In a city filled with a s "corporate" flavored fine-dinning (ahem, the entire Carbone-iverse of Resy waitlists and ) - Txikito feels like a place true to itself. It's not perfect - the service quality seems to ebb and flow like a violent tide. But it is indeed great. Maybe that's the lesson: Txikito doesn't let perfect be the enemy of very very good.

my best orders were: quisquillas flash-fried head-on shrimp, espellete, with mussel aioli, arroz meloso bomba rice, tomato, uni, wild shrimp, enoki mushroom, cochinillo crispy suckling pig, tximiturri, eskarola - i did not like the basque cheesecake because i have had better.

I've heard good things about @txikitonyc and finally booked a weekend dinner! All the food was delicious and our server was very nice and patient in giving us great recommendations. They definitely deserve more love than they already do! Will be interested in coming back and trying more of their delicious Basque cuisine.

This was such a great random find. Please note though that there aren't too many vegetarian options. However, the options that exist very amazing! Each item was well thought out in terms of the different flavors to combine and the seasoning. The sauces enhanced each of the dishes. I was able to get 5 veggie items and between the 5 I left pretty full. Ambiance: The vibe of this restaurant is perfect. It's a great combination of elegant and casual. Service: Everyone was very friendly. We sat at the bar and service was fast. They also took their time to give us recommendations.

Food 8/10 Overall great flavors and tapas are lovely, but it is pricey for what you get. We ordered the fried shrimp, bone marrow, jamon and fried artichoke, and beef cheeks. Highly recommend the beef cheeks, they were super tender and flavorful. The jamon and fried artichoke were very unique and a fun dish to try. The bone marrow was alright, I think not enough bone marrow and too much red peppers + bread. The shrimp were crunchy, but not a necessary order. Atmosphere 8/10 Very cute, located in Chelsea. Plenty of seating inside. Service 5/10 Honestly very slow service, I was a bit disappointed. It took a while for them to notice us and take our order, and also to get our bill.

Overall, good food 4.5, good service 5/5. Food is tapas style so portion is small which mean be ready to spend $$$ if you have a big appetite. We ordered 6 dishes and that's more than enough portion for 2 people. For some dishes, the server gave breads before or after we finished our meal for us to soak up the sauces. Below is my ranking. Highly recommended #1-2. 1) morros- beef cheek that came recommended by our server. It's so alluring that my phone fell and kissed the food (that's why my picture of the meal looks messy). It's juicy inside (cause beef cheek melt in your mouth), crispy outside with bold flavors. 2) Foie micuit- it's very good too. The foie is pretty standard like other fine dining restaurants but the sauce/jelly stood out for me. My favorite is the violet gelee which is a burst of refreshing citrus (good for palate cleanser as well), followed by the pickled rose. 3) special dish suckling pig. This is the most expensive of all ($38) and has the largest meal portion. Some parts are tender but some are kinda overcooked/dry (had to soak the meat with the green sauce to save it). The crispy skin is good but for the price, I'll probably skipped for other dishes. 4) txipirones- It's like a pasta but instead of noodle, it consisted of thinly sliced squid with creamy buttery sauce. Best to ask for bread to soak up the sauce. 5) pulpo- octopus carpaccio that looks pretty but seemed to be very simple. You can taste the simplicity of the octopus flavor but it can get overwhelming with the olive oil. 6) kroketas- it's a solid appetizer but doesn't stand out as much.

A small, intimate restaurant serving delicious basque food. Portions are small and sharing style. Each dish cost around $18-$25. It's definitely not cheap - be prepared to spend about $100/person, $125 if you want drinks and desserts. The food feels like fine-dining (sans fancy service) so it is definitely a worthy splurge for special occasions Kroketas - 4 pieces of croquettes. Hot and crispy outside, stuffed with creamy cod. 4/5. Foie micuet- creamy, slightly gamey Foie Gras balanced with tart pickled rose petals, floral jelly and crispy toast. So delicious and also a great fun to assemble 5/5 Morros - how can beef be crunchy yet tender at the same time? Really good. Our favorite of the night. 5/5 Pulpo - tender slices of octopus drenched in delicious olive oil. The octopus is modestly seasoned so that the flavor of the olive oil really shines through 4/5 Txipirones - delicious pasta made out of squid and drenched in pine nut butter sauce. A tad salty but really unique. The sauce is sooo good! 4/5

Came here for a pre dinner app and drink and got to try the pulpo and kroketas. Pulpo was very unique and delicious - would definitely get again. All the dishes on the menu seem unique but also a bit on the pricey side for the portion sizes (understanding they're tapas).
