They import the flowers from Argentina every week! Do your research on wines if you can before hand, as your standard white and reds are not available!
It’s a very cute and cozy place to enjoy some wine and great food. Has a nice working fireplace and also a retracting roof . A bit too pricey , but it was a good meal.
You're likely to have a pleasant meal, with plenty on the menu to enjoy. The problem is, with tapas that start around $8 and entrees in the mid-$20s or higher, we wanted something more.
Incredible meal ???? The service, ambiance, and food were all perfect. Great for a special night or when friends are in from out of town . The sangria ,octopus ,bread pudding , and croquettes were amazing.
Wonderful ambiance, perfect for date night ! Dimly lit dark wood dining room with retractable glass roof. They also have gorgeous roses from Ecuador everywhere that they fly in on a daily basis
Great date spot ! Romantic and perfect for sharing. Start with a Comandante cocktail ! And to eat, try the Pulpo Con Palomitas and the Nuestra Paella (with soccarrat).
Excellent food, hip trendy vibe. Great for a nice date as they have many two person booths . So nice.
Important to know that this is certainly a fancier establishment. But, the food is divine and vibe is warm and inviting. Get the pork belly and shishito peppers !
Lovely ambiance, pricy . Enjoyed the chicken , mousse dessert , asparagus pea fish dish , eggplant . Not so much the octopus .
Fideos negros, steak for 2, fried Brussels sprouts with Meyer lemon yogurt , rice pudding with membrillo. The black fig infused bourbon is exceptional, too (and 100 proof - yowza).
The food was good but not memorable. The seafood and chicken paella was a very hearty meal . I advise to opt for the seafood . There is a pork belly appetizer that is not to be missed.
Loved this place!! Everything we ate was amazing!!! The staff is really kind, they offered us a free drink because of the delay in our table.
Enjoy solid tapas in one of the nicest and most romantic outdoor patios with plush seating . Bonus: the outdoor area has a retractable roof in case in rains.
Loved this spot both for its food and ambiance. Highly recommend if you like Spanish foods or are willing to try them! I had the country bread and calamari salad . Both were very good and filling!
Recommended dishes: Crujiente mahonés, shrimp with garlic , jamón Ibérico , braised tripe , pumpkin-and-chicken soup , poached octopus , rosejat rápida, grilled chicken , suckling pig , torrija caramelizada. Read more
Try fideos , morcilla and really just about anything you haven't had before at a "Spanish" restaurant . Thank you Salinas for bringing home more than just jamón .
The name “Salinas” is an homage to the areas along the Mediterranean Sea where salt is harvested. This translates into tapas like fried shishito peppers and mussels in a wine and smoked paprika sauce.
Fun selection of tapas , pork belly and patatas stand out. Good cocktails , charming ambiance with roses
The service was fantastic, the food was amazing, but the smell of fresh flowers is what put this place on a whole other level.
Try the Rosejat Rápida—a paella riff made with short noodles instead of rice—which incorporates poached chicken , chorizo and briny cockles . It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Read more
Great service. Sangria is a must try, since they make their ice cubes out of sangria as well (#genius)
Great rib eye steak , gambas , paella , and pollo is not to be missed in the best Spanish restaurant in New York City .
The best tapas in NYC! Order the squid ink vermicelli , paella , patatas bravas , and any specialty cocktail . The service was great!
Looks like a small space from outside but it's such a beautiful place filled with flowers inside. A romantic place ????
We love the patatas bravas and gambas al ajillo here, as well as the pretty setting.
Croquette appetizer is a must-get. If they're offering a white fish special in a lemon/butter/chile sauce - do it!
Salinas Restaurant Basque-MED-Balearic influenceGreat TAPAS and full list of wines from the Basque region. Intimate and fantastic dine alfresco . More @ CarlosMeliaBlog.com Read more
All booked when we came so they gave us the lounge seating. It was cramped but we made it work. Yummy tapas .
Amazing spanish food ! One of the only real spanish gems in the city !
had their prix fixe and was not disappointed. every dish was so good!!
The tapas and drinks were great!
Everything was excellent down to the coffee . Get the squid ink fideos . More addictive than crack.
Porcella and paella all the way. Lovely atmosphere.... Super romantic and trendy . A must try.
Beautiful place, cozy and nicely decorated. Food and service were just ok, a bit disappointed.
The Paella is a MUST it was Devine not your typical paella at all. Hounding regret it squid ink mixed with the rice gives it the best flavor.
Great date place . Everything was delicious, fresh, and well balanced in taste
Everything was spectacular. Amazing drinks and food.
Passion fruit cocktail is delicious. The baked goat cheese is THAT memorable dish
Housemade Sangria , Veal Cheeks , Langostines, Bacon-Wrapped Quail , Sea Bass , Passion Fruit Con Leche - gastronomic heaven #EpicureCHiC
By far my favorite restaurant in Nyc. Great deco. Great food.
This place is pure sexy. Skip the rice dishes and order a bottle of wine and share tapas .
Crunchy squid ink vermicelli is delish!
Squid ink spaghetti is pretty yums, as is the rosemary infused limoncello
Nice ambience but the service is hurried and they mixed up our dishes twice. Food was tasty overall but I didn’t think the paella was all it’s hyped up to be.
The pork belly starter is light and flavorful
Very romantic atmosphere great to bring a date
The cocktails ! Great for dates
Pretty good selection of cocktails . Staff could be a bit more inviting. Not authentic Spanish.
The wine is excellent
Awesome tapas place ...highly recommend.
Gambas al Ajillo, Dátiles con Beicon, Salteado de Setas : everything is really good here :) - Ya G
Some of the best #tapas in #NYC. Have the meat balls, avocado with crab and the garlic prawns and you won't regret it. Don't bother with the patatas Bravas - bit dry. - Harriet Ruff
Top two: croquettes and the patatas bravas. Can't wait to try the chorizo con chocolate next time! - Erin S.
Make a reservation to be safe because its quite a cozy little spot. The Journalist did not disappoint. Love BT Gin! - Christopher Soda
Everyone knows the cupcakes are good, so I'll recommend the lemonade. Perfect blend of sweet and tart! - Sonora Bostian
The space is great, tucked under Chelsea market. A little escape with great cocktails and random books. Snag a table if you can! - Melissa Monsalve
