We had our office holiday party here tonight. Honestly, the food was great, the place was great, but what made it all really standout was the service. Wine service was exemplary. They all really took care of our party non stop. And even when we maybe were there a lot longer, they made us feel welcome. I couldn't recommend this place more. And a special shout out to AJ who was such a great part of the service team!!!!
We had a wonderful dining experience today at Pasca NYC with my family. The salmon was perfectly cooked and full of flavor, and the *filet mignon* was tender, juicy, and beautifully presented — absolutely delicious!
The service was exceptional. Rodrigo went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and taken care of throughout the entire meal. His attention to detail and warmth truly stood out.
Highly recommend Pasca NYC for anyone looking for outstanding food and top-notch service. We’ll definitely be back!
Tasca is dining experience you don’t want to miss. The freshly prepared food options, warm ambiance, and Rodrigo, our charismatic server, made for a perfect evening. We enjoyed the grilled octopus appetizer, paella for two, the sea bass, topped off with the passion fruit cheesecake. Their creative chef paired fine food and flavors with artistic presentation. We are looking forward to our next chance to dine at this culinary find and see a Flamenco dinner show.
Rodrigo is the man, he knows all the good dishes and how to guide rightsizing in order as well as $100 bottle of wines that drink like $500 bottle so he’s there to make sure you have a good time and is thinking about your wallet as well.
Beyond that the food is great. The drinks are amazing and the ambience is fun. Can’t wait to go to a flamingo night soon.

Seriously one of my best NYC dining experiences to date! Went to dinner recently with my family and Rodrigo was our server. He was extremely attentive and gave great recommendations. I had the halibut which was so delicious. The drinks were also incredible. Would definitely go back. 10/10.
Our new favorite spot on the UWS — hands down one of the most impressive dining experiences in NYC. Everything from the first bite to dessert felt intentional, balanced, and elevated.
We started with croquettas, octopus, and empanadas — all flawless. The croquettas were crisp and rich without being heavy, the empanadas perfectly golden with sauces that actually added something, and the octopus was tender with just the right char.
For mains, we went with two specials: a filet mignon topped with wild mushrooms in a silky sauce, and a halibut over a delicate leek base. Both were exceptional — beautifully cooked, full of depth, and plated like art.
Dessert sealed it: the cheesecake was unreal — light, creamy, and paired with sorbet and fruit that made it feel fresh instead of heavy.
What really sets Tasca apart is the service. Rodrigo made us feel like regulars from the moment we sat down — warm, attentive, and clearly proud of what they do here.
Tasca is the rare restaurant that nails both the food and the feeling. It’s upscale without being pretentious, and every dish has a point of view. Easily a top-tier spot in the city

🎯 Summary:
Tasca NYC offers a warm, flavorful experience with delicious tapas and drinks, perfect for a casual night out or small gatherings. Ideal if you love Iberian cuisine and a lively vibe.
The food is superb. The service is friendly and warm. The vibe is energetic. If you like duck, this is the place! Deliciously complex sweet spiced (not hot spice) and lightly fruity. Cooked perfectly to the recommended medium rare. Equally delicious were the lamb chops, and the
sea bass. The mixed seafood was a tad salty for me, but still quite tasty for others in our party.
