REVIEW FROM VERONICA RAMIREZ TO LA ZARZA
My first review in citysearch and it goes to La Zarza! I went to this restaurant because a friend told me it was very good...and he was right. I have to say that the sweetbreads , skirt steak and empanadas are great
And the sangria is way to far the best that i ever tried!!!. On the other hand , didn't like the salad, it was missing flavor. However, t...
Read More On Citysearch rosinyc 10/3/2009 - nice atmosphereI highly recommend this place, the ambience is great for a date, a cocktail after work, or just to sit by yourself and listen soft live music.
I have tried sangria in so many other places. but the one from La Zarza is definitely one of my favorites, the food is so good in general, and the staff is very friendly.
Ill keep coming back.

The food is great and so is the service. The waiters are friendly, with nice soft music. What else you can ask for?
The sangria is definitely the best i every tried!
Cons: The goat cheese croquets that I order as an appetizers was a little bit colder that i would be expected to be.
Overall great place! I definitely plan on coming back soon!

Im surprised of some of the reviews form this place, wich I think is great and fun, having a dj while you are having dinner on a friday night? why not? also the sangria is one of the best i have ever tried.
Paella is amazing and appetizers, well yes. some of them small but good enough for a complain.
i will be back for sure.

The management was responsive and easy to work with in organizing the event, the space was accomodating, and the waitstaff was extremely attentive. I would highly recommend planning a large group event at LaZarza!!

Read More On Citysearch Naty10 2/16/2009 - Ok as a lounge not a restaurantThe atmosphere was nice and the night started off good until we started getting drinks at the bar while we waited for the rest of our group to arrive and the bartender was rude and obnoxious and acted like he couldn't be bothered with us.Then once our entire party of 14 arrived and were seated, although there was enough seating, the music was so loud you could barely talk to the person next to yo...

Read More On Citysearch lane01 11/29/2008 - good for setting the moodNot the finest Argentine or Spaniard dishes I've had - well, we didn't even order anything from the Argentine menu. The paella was OK, not great, but good. Good portion, and it has lobster. The decor was probably the best part; it's dark and very romantic. If you're a sangria lover, the menu offers 3 options, but you must of course purchase a full bottle.
I would definitely recommend this rest...

Read More On Citysearch anatz 11/17/2008 - Not recommendedI went with a group of friends, around 12 or so and they did not get the number of people right so we were missing two chairs. The waiter took a while to figure things out..only to have us all squeeze into the booth in an already warm environment. A few of us ended up sweating profusely throughout the meal and when we asked for the air conditioning to be turned higher they just took our complai...

Finally I went there with my husband for dinner. It was good, but nothing close to life changing. I guess after all the hype, we were left a bit disappointed. THe ever so recommended the Salmon was bland and flavorless. THe appetizers were good, but ssoooo small. In the end, too expensive for wh...
Read More On Citysearch alexastar 11/11/2008 - Elegant restaurant in the EVWe had dinner at La Zarza last Saturday. The popular calamari and chese plate for starters were very good although we missed some tomatoes with the bread like they do in Spain. Entrees we loved the skirt steak and the duck. Very well cooked. The duck should be bigger. Panqueques as a dessert is a killer. So good.
We stayed in the lounge downstairs for drinks afterwards.
Read More On Citysearch Bluemoon30 10/21/2008 - Delicious food and drinksI was searching for a restaurant and lounge in the East Village on Citysearch and found La Zarza. We decided to go a couple weeks back and had a great time. Very nice ambiance, delicious food, great drinks and an attentive waitstaff made La Zarza a very nice experience. Highly recommended!

Tavern does best describe this place, but it is one overpriced tavern. The "entrees" are portioned like tapas, but are priced like e...

Read More On Citysearch karinazt 9/8/2008 - Romantic atmosphere with killer cocktails!!I have been to this restaurant twice and each time I had a great experience. The atmosphere was very romantic and located in a trendy area of the lower east side of NYC. My husband and I sat in the window and had a wonderful dinner by candlelight while being serenaded by music that was edgy with a Latin flare. The waitress was very sweet, and helpful when we asked her what she would recommend for...

Read More On Citysearch rache9 7/5/2008 - Music was great and that was it.We were promptly seated and the music was great. The food was tasty and had the potential to be worth its price but we found the dishes to be inconsistent in quality, portion and price (2 of 3 appetizers were excellent, duck was tasty but small - garnish was larger, and the steak was "chewy" and lacked salt/flavor, 1 appetizer was larger then the entree but priced the same). I would have given ...
Read More On Citysearch evgal 7/1/2008 - Excellent drinks, slightly inattentive service.
First impressions were good, dark, cozy place with a fun vibe. Clearly the consensus is great cocktails and reasonable $$ for the drinks too. Overall the food was good, however the service is not. After the appetizers (great ceviche).... a long gap, which turned out to be because our entree order was never put through! Dead giveaway when the waitress asks an hour later "are you going to order...

Overall, the restaurant is great. Decor is nice, music is good, etc. We tried 3 Apps and a couple Tapas. All were good except the lobster - it was fishy, but sounded great on the menu. Dates were amazing!! Calamari - although more Asian in flavor than Spanish - was great too. Duck and Skirt Ste...

Read More On Citysearch Mfghe 4/7/2008 - Delicious food....They serve a mixture of food from Argentina and Spain. THere is a little bit of southamerican influence too in the menu, not only from Argentina. The meat is very good. Camari is their sgnature dish. Ambience is amazing there.
Critical addition to the neighborhood

The food is spectacular, the service was great, the atmosphere is romantic and they make the best mojitos Ive ever had. Ive recommended this place to all my friends and will continue to do so.
