I am so glad, that I decided to dine at EZ Paella & Tapas. The restaurant is small, but do they present AMAZING food drinks, and dessert. As soon as I entered, I was greeted by the owner, Lorena. She was very cordial, attentive, gave magnificent recommendations, and added to the enjoyment of the meal. I started with a glass of Red Sangria and was blown away by the size. The glass was almost the size of the Bryant Park fountain, the Sangria was sweet and refreshing, and the fruit was abundant.
I had a really nice experience at EZ Paella & Tapas. The restaurant has a cozy, casual atmosphere and feels very welcoming. The tapas were fresh and flavorful — I especially enjoyed the tomato toast/bruschetta-style dish, which paired very well with the Tempranillo recommended by the staff. The wine was smooth, dry, and a great match for the Spanish flavors. The service was friendly, and the food had a homemade, comforting feel. It’s a great spot for a relaxed dinner, small plates, and Spanish
Was an amazing find! Right in Hell’s Kitchen. Husband & wife owned and run establishment. It’s a small place but worth it. You can make reservations but we didn’t have one. However, they had 2 spots at the kitchen bar and it turns out, that’s the best place to sit. Had a great conversation with one of the owners (also the cook)! Food was great. Wish we could’ve tried more. Go hungry so you can try as much as you can.
