Food was absolutely delicious. Consider my rating on that aspect a **** 1/2 out of *****. The service was terrific. It was nice to have a waiter who knew the stuff and was helpful in coming to a menu choice. Had a ribeye steak while my wife had a skirt steak and both were great. Place doesn’t take credit or debit, it’s a strictly cash operation here. They have an ATM on the premises at the least but not to have the option to put it on a credit card kinda knocked a point off. Would strongly advise you try this. The shrimp tapas were out of this world especially.
Great tapas in Washington Heights. We especially loved the service. Junior was so gracious and gave us great recommendations so we loved all the dishes we ordered. The octopus tapas, mushroom croquettes, and the paella were our favorites. Highly recommended! (One thing to note: they’re cash only, but there’s an ATM on site)
I was excited to check out Manolo tapas, for some Spanish food. The service was honestly amazing — super friendly and made us feel really welcome. The food looked good, but for me, it was missing a lot of the bold flavors I grew up with. It felt a little flat compared to what I expected from Spanish dishes. Still, I had a great time thanks to the awesome staff. Hoping the kitchen can step it up a bit, because the vibe and service are definitely there!
I’ve been going to this place for months now and let me say. This was a delightful surprise. The atmosphere is amazing, as both the interiors and exterior capture a Spanish feel to it. I also notice it tends to attract an older crowd, mid 20s being the youngest unless there are families here. But it’s important to bring up because of the bar which serves great drink. Which speaking of, the food is great! I always go for the tapas which makes it a stand out as most of the other restaurants in the heights don’t have that. I would also say the food does compliment the primarily Dominican Food scene by being Spanish food. Service has always been amazing, and whenever I have something to celebrate for myself and am looking for light eats, I go here. The only catch, it’s cash only but there is an ATM here. It can also be reasonably priced depending on what you order. If you’re gonna be in Washington Heights for a weekend, or are a local looking for something different, check it out!
Food was amazing and the vibe was nice and cozy! Definitely recommend!
My friends and I had a great experience at Manolo Tapas restaurant. The food and service was excellent! I highly recommend for your special occasion or even just a day or evening out for a bite. The owner came by our table to reassure our experience was top tier.
Every dish I've had here has been delicious. (And given it's tapas, I've had quite a few.) They are surprisingly well priced for the quality of the food. The service is also excellent. I definitely recommend trying them out.
Great looking restaurant gives a nice vintage feel. The waiters are polite. A little of a wait for the food and a little overpriced in my opinion for the portion. The food taste wise was pretty average not super flavorful like others say.
