Our recent culinary discovery, Alcala, offered an enchanting Spanish escape in the heart of New York. Stepping inside felt like entering a lively Spanish taverna, with an authentic interior that immediately set the stage for an intimate dining experience.
The warm greetings and calm escort by the staff made us feel like regulars on our first visit, echoing the connection and engagement I aim for in leadership training. The proximity to the UN added a unique flair, attracting a diverse crowd and creating an intriguing backdrop to our evening.
Starting with the red sangria, a delightful introduction to Alcala's flavors, we embarked on a culinary journey. The Patatas Bravas and Conquetas, especially the codfish variety, were delightful appetizers. The Special Lentil Soup was a warm embrace, showcasing the chef's dedication and love for their craft.
For the main course, my wife savored the Paella Negra, while I enjoyed the spectacular Paella Carne, both a testament to the chef's mastery. The Salmon in Salad and Chuleton Cabrales added another layer of excellence to our culinary adventure.
With delightful secrets for dessert, Alcala proved to be more than a dining experience; it was an immersive journey through the vibrant streets of Spain.
If leadership were a restaurant, Alcala would undoubtedly be the model for making everyone feel not just satisfied but truly valued.
Food and drinks were great. Quaint atmosphere not too noisy. Did not feel overpriced. Chef talked to us. Service awesome. Great experience.
Lovely spanish restaurant in Midtown Manhattan, food was so delicious we devored it so only could take pic of desert. Totally recommend. Friendly staff and good prices.
Fantastic food and great service. If you are looking for a delicious meal, this is the spot.
Chef Jesus Martinez has created a slice of heaven close to Grand Central.
We loved the food and how he brings many dishes to you and chats with you. Everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly- he is a master of his art. My son loved each course of the $28 prix fixe (great value for the amount of food). We loved the tapas and dessert.
Bring your friends and enjoy an intimate, leisurely-paced meal.
I took my Dad for dinner. The restaurateur was friendly and the atmosphere convivial. The lamb shank was very good quality but I felt the sauce was too much and not particularly good. The paella unfortunately had a bit too much salt.
The food is good, very friendly staffs. I love the bubble dome that they put on, so magical ☺️. We had such a great time there. The only thing that not very happy about it tho. My husband ordered double shots drink with soda, so simple, it cost 32$ each glass. That’s kinda ruing the perfect experience. Pretty much over priced. He always ordered this drink and the price everywhere in the world as we experienced 😂 are never over 25$ per glass and that’s already 5 stars restaurant.
We grabbed dinner here as it had a lot of the dishes we're more familiar with from Spain. It didn't disappoint. We opted for the tapas options and selected about 4 dishes. They were all presented beautifully and had great flavours. It was ideal for a light dinner as we had had a few days of heavy lunches and dinners.
The service was excellent and really friendly and helpful. I was even able to get my favourite spanish after dinner liquer 'Herbias', which was an excellent way to round out the evening.
If you haven’t been to Spain this is the place to go to , and If your been to Spain then you can agree with me and say you feel as though you are there . The exceptional customer service from the owner Jesus who attended and cooked for us,to his son Samuel and their amazing staff Miguel . The food was amazing which is always the plus for me . Thank you will definitely be coming back to Spain in New York
