Addictive NYC

Addictive? Hardly.Environment was beautifully decorated for Christmas. When I arrived for my reservation I was asked to wait and there was no bar so I was just standing there for 10 minutes. Without exaggeration, it was 200 million degrees kelvin in there. Everyone was roasting. The menu was fairly limited and the food was all crazy acidic. Between the heartburn and shvitzing, I couldn’t get comfortable. Oh - and we were told when we sat down there was an hour and half time limit on our table (which didn’t help with the shvitzing). Gee whiz. I will not be returning.

I visited this cute tapas restaurant in midtown Manhattan that doesnt come with the hefty midtown price tag.I opted for the restaurant week menu and was pleased to find that the same dishes are offered on the regular menu. The avocado tuna tartare and the lamb chops were delicious! The tartare had just the right amount of avocado and tuna, and the lamb chops were incredibly tender. I was so full after enjoying these two dishes that I barely had room for dessert.The wine list was excellent, and the prices were very reasonable.Happy hour is from 4-6pm with plenty of tapas. I cant wait to go back again!

All in all a great experience! We were very fortunate to have this place a block away from our hotel, and we were utterly charmed by the space and the decor. The food was very good and surprisingly reasonably priced for the location and atmosphere… portions small, of course, but three of us had an ample meal with wine for basically $100, which feels like a bargain these days. Great find!

Addictive Wine NYC is a gem in the heart of the city. From the moment you walk in, you are enveloped in a sophisticated yet cozy atmosphere, perfect for relaxing and enjoying a good glass of wine.The wine selection is impressive, with options to suit all tastes and budgets. The sommeliers are extremely knowledgeable and passionate, always ready to recommend the perfect wine based on your preferences. I tried several exceptional wines that I hadnt found anywhere else.The ambiance is ideal for both a romantic date and a night out with friends. The decor is elegant, and the background music creates a very pleasant experience. Additionally, they offer pairing options that perfectly complement the wines, further elevating the experience.Addictive Wine NYC is undoubtedly a place I will visit again and again. If you are a wine lover or simply looking for a special place to spend an evening, you cant miss this spot. Highly recommended!

Nice tapas. Good food and vibe.Ordered papas, pan con tomato, tabla de carne, mixta paella.Complementary bread dry as well as chorizo. Jamon very nice though. Pan con tomato warm and soft very nicely done.3 vino flight option flexible. Sangria ok.Bit salty olives but preference may be different. Paella one of the best for my taste bud. Even though small fry pen, not so salty, moist.Venue small. Among tapas, like Nacional on 14th St but location key, cozy.3% cash discount not so meaningful since many dining cards points similarly.

Excellent tapas in the heart of midtown manhattan. Happy hour specials are worth the price. Reservation is recommended but not required. We had excellent Christmas Day service despite the restaurant being nearly full. Thanks so much!

Excellent tapas! The salmon goat cheese roll was phenomenal, the calamari was very fresh and one of the best Ive had. Staff was very nice, prices were ok. Their happy hour ended at 5PM so that was a bit disappointing. Ill be back to try out more dishes next time!

The spot where my fave Turkish spot Akdeniz once stood now is home to a new tapas spot and thankfully it did not disappoint!The space was beautifully decorated to almost feel like you were under a shaded canopy in some alleyway in a Spanish courtyard. Staff was very warm and kind and I appreciated our waiting suggestion that we are ordering too much so do a round 2 instead.Each dish was presented nicely and everything was flavorful and not under seasoned. Stand outs for me and my guests were the Camarones Al Ajillo: generous portion of large shrimp sauted in a ton of garlic, the albodigas: the meatballs were nicely seasoned and the tomato sauce was a perfect balance for them, pan de tomate: different from the usual version served in Spain since that is a piece of toasty bread with fresh garlic clove rubbed on it and then tomato almost smashed on top with some salt. This version was more of a warm Italian bruschetta with chunks of garlic chunks dotted between the chunks of marinated tomatoes; the cheese platter again was beautifully presented and generally portioned and we loved how perfectly the paella rice was cooked where the grains were not mushy and not too crunchy but this one was a bit on the saltier side; their tortilla Espanola was divine!Its located in Little Brazil, smack in the heart of Midtown east off of 5th Ave so a great spot to meet up for a date or a group happy hour or dinner. Space is TINY so reservations are recommended.I will be back!

This place was very enjoyable. The servers accommodated us without a reservation and were extremely attentive and friendly. The decor was amazing, the sangria was delicious, and the theater prix fixe menu was quite good for NYC prices.

Excellent wine and wine selection. Food is standard tapas fare but prepared well and very tasty. Atmosphere was very nice: attractive and cozy. Service was outstanding.

What a great spot. Its quite narrow so ideal for two but no more than 4 people. Excellent tapas, we had hummus, chicken and brie, tuna and avocado salad, meatballs, creme brulee, and a bottle of Cava. Service was excellent, each plate was tastey and the place was warm and cozy. If youre in the area please stop in.

On anniversary night we found a great mid-town Manhattan tapas place within easy walking distance of the Hilton Garden Inn. I forget the name of this restaurant now, but this restaurant is small, cozy, and absolutely oriented toward romance, even on 46th Street. We ordered first calamari, then shrimp gambas; very good to dip bread in the juice. The mixed paella was truly flavorful, and the patatas bravas were nice although tortillas are one of my favorites. The chicken tapas were slightly too much cinnamon for our taste, and the chorizo, while tasty, was a bit too smoky-just overwhelming for my wife. But the salmon course was great. Overall, this was a super meal in a very warm setting.

Visiting NYC and this place was recommended for it’s delicious food and lovely ambiance. The food and wine selection is over the top. The servers were pleasant and professional. Definitely coming back:)

Cozy atmosphere, great wine, and tapas are great to share. Perfect date night spot! Loved the Mussels. Will be back!

We came for an early dinner for six. Amazing food and ambiance. Simply addictive!

Nice cozy place. Surprised me for middle town restaurants. Tapas was good. Main course average. White Wine 🍷 good. Bread soooo good.

Had pre theatre dinner. Good service, outstanding food. Salad was the best, and salmon was generous and cooked perfectly. Exceeded my expectations.

Festive Christmas decor and woody interior makes it a perfect place for a winter happy hour or dinner after work. It is cozy with around 10 tables total, the service was fast, happy hour is until 6pm and includes many options (food and drink, my sangria was amazing). It is a casual place, so no need to dress up.

Wow what a place! Super cute wine bar and restaurant with amazing food and great wines and incredible friendly staff! Super cool at Christmas time. It’s very popular, Reservations strongly recommended!

From someone who’s been to Spain, Portugal, Mexico, Costa Rica, DR, the Virgin Islands, and other Mediterranean destinations, I was disappointed with this Spanish restaurant.Although this place looks stunning when you first walk in (the lighting makes for a wonderful ambiance and the decor adds brilliant charm) the food and service is poor.My mom and I came here for dinner after a day trip to the city and we were captivated by the place when we first walked in. We were sat fairly quickly and told to scan the QR code for the menu and were then directed to pictures of every menu item which made us salivate. My mom ordered the lamb over hummus and tomatoes while I took the paella mixta. We shared the burratta with Serrano ham over arugula which we both agreed was quite appetizing.When it came to to our entrees, my mom thought hers was cooked 20 minutes before mine because the whole dish was cold. The lamb, which was actually very tender and delicious, did not pair well with the cold hummus and tomatoes. By the time it came to the table, the lamb was cold and my mom asked if that was normal.I ordered the paella mixto which I DO NOT RECCOMEND ANYONE TO ORDER PAELLA HERE! It was incredibly bland and lacked so many flavors that are essential to classic paella I’ve had in dozens of other restaurants around the world. I think the owner/ chef should go to don pepe or seabras in Newark to get some inspiration for their paella.Additionally, a great tapas spot near me that this restaurant may gain some inspiration from is xunta in Caldwell, Nj.And I forgot to mention, my mom and I both felt incredibly sick and had to rush to the bathroom about an hour after leaving here.

All the stuff super nice and professional I ask for the chef I believe his name is Alex I cant recall hes tall dark skin his food was amazing he came outside and explained to me all about the food amazing guy thank you definitely recommend

Another nice surprise access from the Hilton Garden Inn. It was our anniversary dinner and this place rocked. Such a cool little place with good vibe. The service was great and the food was excellent. We started with calamari. The shrimp gambas were sooo good. Dip the bread in the sauce for extra goodness. We loved the mixed paella, so flavorful. The potatas bravas were nice, but I always love the tortillas. The chicken tapas were good, but not our favorite…….very cinnamony. The chorizo dish was very good, but Smokey. My wife thought the smoke was a bit much. The salmon dish was delicious. Loved this meal!

Paella was super delicious, the wine even more, warm and romantic atmosphere, here you spend a really nice “Tranquillo” evening , it seems to be really far from the chaos of manhattan but instead you are just on 46st .If youre in New York and you feel like enjoying tapas and Spanish food this is the place, highly recommended !!!

Beautiful cozy vibe. The red sangria and seafood paella took me right back to Spain. Delicious.

The food here is amazing, the staff and service exceptional and the space is adorable!!Love it!!

Cute little tapas place, lovely waiters and great food! Loved that it wasn’t so salty so you could taste the food!

Visited this place on 12/31 with my family.Food service ambience was amazing can’t wait to go back!

Will be back, everything is so tasty and fresh.I had the best anchovies… and many more of forgot to take pic coz, food was so good.Note: my daughter is a picky eater, she ate all the food she doesn’t want to eat because they seasoned and made really good.

This restaurant was just amazing, the atmosphere the food the service the wine selection were on point! I can’t say enough good things about it.Our server was great, so friendly and attentive. We had the Mussels and Calamari appetizers and salmon for dinner. It was delicious. I’ll definitely go back on my next trip to NY.

It was a short visit. As we were getting seated at the table we saw a cockroach casually sitting on the table, so we left right away.[UPD in response to the owner] I am not sure what video footage was checked since I never mentioned the exact date of the visit. We did let the staff member know that we were leaving because of the roach, and they just said okay. I do appreciate your response and consideration though and I hope this doesnt happen to other customers.

We have to return. The place is very cute and has a nice vibe, but the day of our reservation ( we went for early dinner) they were having problems, not sure if it was in the kitchen or the servers, they seemed confused and not organized. The manager is this amazing person, very personable and you can tell with a high level of costumer service, but at the end they did not delivered as expected, nevertheless, the tapas were delicious, except the octopus that came cold and the taste was not there.. the wine and dessert on point!We want to try them again because we feel that this was just a hiccup on that night and a cute place like this deserves it.

Found this spot on Open table and gave it a shot. Delicious tapas with an intimate setting. I will be back!

This was an amazing find! It a comfortable, cozy spot with beautiful decor. Our group of four stopped in after seeing the Rockettes and our experience couldn’t have been better. The staff was very attentive, friendly and helpful. And, the food was outstanding! The best salmon I have ever had. The hummus trio - yum! Lots of good food. Can’t wait to go back again! We highly recommend!!!

Amazing place to go the food wow amazing thanks Alexis and stefano for the amazing service …. Wine lovers this is a place to go … also the owner one of the most down to earth and friendly person definitely coming back !!!!!!

Came here for restaurant week and had a wonderful experience. Portions were generous, service was excellent, and atmosphere is cozy and elegant. Would definitely return!

I placed a reservation but they refused to seat us because apparently they didnt have any space. Would not recommend as they dont honor reservations and they blamed everything on their software instead of trying to accommodate us.

Food was great. Went to NYC for the weekend with the family and needed a Tappas place with a variety of options. Very small but cozy. Highly recommend!

Wow everything tasted so good and fresh. Service was lovely. Good ambiance.Really enjoyed and loves this place. Definitely will be back.

I had the pleasure of dining at Addictive in Manhattan recently, and I must say, the experience was truly exceptional. Not only was the food excellent, but the staff went above and beyond to make our visit memorable.Alejandro, Félix, Stéphane, Alex (the chef), and Andrea were the epitome of professionalism and hospitality. From the moment we walked in, they greeted us with warm smiles and made us feel incredibly welcome. Their attention to detail and genuine care for our dining experience was evident throughout the entire meal.The knowledge and passion demonstrated by Alex, the talented chef, was truly remarkable. Each dish was a masterpiece, bursting with flavors that delighted our taste buds. It was evident that he poured his heart and soul into every creation.The waitstaff, including Alejandro, Félix, and Stéphane, were attentive, friendly, and always ready to assist. They anticipated our needs and provided excellent recommendations, ensuring that every aspect of our dining experience was perfect.Andrea, who played a key role in orchestrating the seamless service, deserves special recognition. Her professionalism and dedication to creating a memorable dining experience were truly commendable.Overall, the staff at Addictive in Manhattan exceeded all expectations. Their commitment to excellence, combined with the exceptional food, made for an unforgettable evening. I highly recommend this restaurant and its amazing team to anyone seeking a truly exceptional dining experience.

This is such a gem! The food and service is amazing. Please get the meat and cheese platter and the spicy hummus!

My friend and I had dinner reservations before going to a Broadway show. Food was delicious and the staff was very curious! The owner was very friendly and checked on us often. It’s a very cute and cozy restaurant! I will definitely go there again when I am back in the city!

We stumbled on this adorbs little place tucked away off the street. Great service and tasty bites. The place is very tiny and quaint. Looking forward to coming back for dinner! I definitely recommend the mushroom Flatbread and the meatballs

We had set up a reservation through the website via an email which was great as they texted me to confirm. We got there and quickly we were sat. The start of the evening was great, as we had water to start and immediately looked at the food. We has ordered the restaurant week special. Appetizers were fantastic. The crispy salad was like your berry salad with goat cheese and the avocado salad and tartar was so light and refreshing. Unfortunately it went down hill from there. We had ordered a wine flight to go with dinner which never came and with the seafood pasta we received one mussel which was closed. I get having one closed if you have a bowl of them, not one. That was completely unacceptable coming from a restaurant to serve bad seafood. The filet was great with the mash potatoes and asparagus. The reduction is a bit sweet as an FYI. Then dessert. Dessert took at least 15 minutes to come to the table. We did time it because we thought it was taking a while. Check took another 8 minutes after dessert. Dessert was great with the fresh berries. Just the service was lacking in attention.......Update: There was a max of 6 tables in the restaurant with 2 servers. To say it was busy I can not imagine when it is full.

Food was charming, the staff was polite, the atmosphere was nice.

For the holidays season, this restaurant’s theme is top notch - the music, the design, and the warmth are unbeatable. The dining experience left a lot to be desired - the mushroom flatbread arrived cold, the meatballs were mediocre, and Spanish chorizo was over cooked. Disappointing because the atmosphere was immaculate

We made reservations for our anniversary during NYC Restaurant Week and we were so happy we did! The food was delicious and came out in a timely manner, and the ambiance of the restaurant was romantic and intimate... everything we wanted for an anniversary dinner. We ordered wine during happy hour and they gave us samples and were very informative. The reviews and the menu they provided for NYRW was what really brought us in and we now have a place that we would like to return to. Highly recommended for a special night!

There are many good tapas places in the city. I love Addictive NYC for its uber laid back vibe. Light jazz plays in the background as they serve up nicely chosen wine thoughtful starters: pinchos, salads, olives, cheeses. I like their mussels as well. Nice happy hour from 4-6 weekdays.

This is such a welcoming and wonderful venue to meet friends and enjoy a delicious meal! I can’t wait to come back and continue to explore other plates in the menu. I highly recommend this beautifully decorated place with a selection of tasty dishes.

Amazind dishes and good red wine and it is Additive

Estefano was kind and attentive. He recommended a couple of wines and it was really good. Thanks a lot.

A MUST to go if you like tapas and great food! Beautiful location - Perfect service - delicious food! Next time NYC we’ll be back!P.S. Almost forgot the great wine!

Decent concept, but the wait staff didnt really pay much attention to us and we were 1 of 2 tables in the entire place. Tough to judge based on one experience, but with so many great places around tough to want to return.

Very cute location with beautiful decor, a good selection of wine, a nice happy hour menu, and the food is delicious. Doesn’t hurt that they give you warm bread. Nice and attentive service. A great reprieve in the busy city.

Staff was friendly courteous and sweet. Did was delicious! Came to try their restaurant week and was not disappointed.

Food is not good. The worst place I’ve been in years.

Great vibe, great food! Paired the tapas with the txakoli. A MA ZING! Excellent service from Estefano and staff! Well be sure to be back when in town!

Great food and great service and amazing decor. Flavorful food and great ambiance. Got a try the salmon and mushroom flatbread

A truly amazing experience start to finish. Francisco and Patrick have a clear passion for food, wine and hospitality. I looooved the Tabla de Carne, and hummus for starters but you’ll be happy with any dish on the menu. Atmosphere is perfect for a date, dinner with family or drinks with friends.

One of my best meals in NYC. Enjoyed the people/service, vibe, food and wine. I’ll be back!

Dont judge a restaurant by its dorky awning outside! The vibe inside this place was very cool. Great wine list. Really nice service. I only got vegetarian options due to my friends dietary restrictions but those were good! Would return for a pre-show dinner for sure.

OMG! Awesome staff and delicious food! The wine, appetizers, pre-fixe menu from start to finish was simply the best. Will definitely come back in our next visit to NYC!

Really cool shotgun style restaurant. They usually are not open on Monday but it is Thanksgiving week. We were the only ones in the restaurant at the time. Great food, good wine, and excellent service.

Tried the restaurant week here! This place is so good, food is amazing (especially the lamb chops), service is great and environment is also nice! I’ll come back with my friends

Just came in today . Had two dishes they were pretty good. Service was solid and atmosphere was really nice.

Beautiful place and amazing cook

Great tapas food and atmosphere. Highly recommend anyone looking to have authentic Spanish food. We had a great time.

Great service and great food. We had the salmon and steak both were excellent. I definitely 100 percent recommend!!

On a short vacation with my son who is gluten-sensitive. Lots of great options for him. Food and service were excellent! Nice vibe to the place - music and decor.

Nice food, nice price.Huge problem, they are adding a 3% card fee (never saw that in my whole life) + they are forcing a tip without asking. The bill was 127. We asked to split by 2, it ends up at 76 per person (forcing a 10% tip per card). They never asked if we allow it (the ticket didn’t say we added a tip, didn’t asked for a signature).Really nasty behaviour that ruins it all …

Vibes are great, the tapas platters were great especially the avocado salad and the Spanish chorizo

From impeccable service to incredible food - this restaurant is among the best ones to try when going somewhere special inside of NYC

Date night with the hubby while traveling for work. Food was AMAZING..definatly on our list to return

Great spanish tapas and paellaNice atmosphere and friendly efficient stagg

Delish food-amazing atmosphere. Love the holiday decor. Beautiful

Really enjoyed dinner here was perfect before a concert! The food was delicious enjoyed every plate we had- the atmosphere was super special and the staff was super attentive

Wandered by looking for a quick light dinner before a show. Inside is very pretty decor. There was only 1 server, but was very welcoming, nice little table for 2, not close to others, which was nice. The server was helpful, but time from sitting down to taking our order was a little slow as there was only one server, we took that into account, so we werent going to complain. The food was delicious and well presented. They have very large wine glasses to what I am used to. A bottle of wine seemed to disappear very quickly with just 2 glasses each. Wine was also very good.It was a great start to a fun night out.

Just what we were looking for. Very cosy place serving a good selection of really great tapas. Service was incredibly friendly and our waiter went out of his way to help our family with food and drink choices, and accommodations for an allergy. Really fun atmosphere and looking forward to returning with friends. Highly recommended!

Amazing wine and ambience .I wish the portions for starters are more

Food was good. The garlic shrimp was my favorite and the pulpo was good but none of the other dishes stood out. The restaurant itself is very dark, I almost tripped going down the stairs entering the restaurant. Its also very cozy, not quite crowded but you are very close to the table next to you. The service was fine, we had some questions about the wine and the manager (I think), was very knowledgable). They did forget one of our dishes but overall a good meal.

3 hours before our reservation on the weekend of christmas, the hostess called us and claimed they had “overbooked” on their end. Leaving us to scramble and find another place to eat for 6 people on a friday night. The host on the phone couldnt have been any less helpful. As Jerry Seinfeld said anyone can take a reservation but keeping it is the most important part, embarrassing behavior.Edit: Since this clown wants to lie about what was said on a private call, that presumably he was not privy to, the hostess asked us to move out reservation back an hour, not a half an hour. Since we had a show to make, clearly that would not work. No alternative option was presented and no apologies were offered for the screw up on part of the restaurant. The offering of us not waiting in the cold is an absurd remark considering thats why we made a reservation, and decided not to walk in randomly. Hope you have a good holiday bud.

Stephano is the best! Get the paella and sangria.

One of very few places in the Penn/Grand Central area thats worth it. Great for a date night or just having a glass of wine and some tapas on your own.

Walked in randomly and was pleasantly surprised. Fresh and tasty good.

Loved the tapas and red wine

Great place. Love it!!!

I like the service. Very nice and professional staff however the food doesnt taste good, I had the 3 course meal and none of them was worth the price or tasted good and its very small portions.

The food was phenomenal and the service was impeccable. The wine list was not large but it was a really well curated selection. And the food was divine.

Service is terrible here, the food is ok and the portions are small. It seems like staff do not care and are not welcoming

It is very rare that i write a review but we stumbled upon this tapas restaurant when we were out and about in NYC.The lady promptly seated us even though we didnt have a reservation and we could of stayed all evening enjoying the fabulous food,wine and ambience. Great vibe!

Addictive NYC is warm and cozy, which makes a great date spot or just catch up with friends. The service was excellent. Wonderful wine and tapas selection.

Francisco and Patrick go above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect at your table and the food is so delicious. Recommended 💯

Fantastic Tapas! Do not hesitate to go, excellent service and food.

Super cozy, it was a little cool outside, but this place had things nice and warm inside. Friendly staff, good wines. Great vibe overall, but when they dimmer the lights a little bit, it got even better and cozier.

Dinner was very delightful and tasted sumptuous. The waitress was attentive and friendly offering wine suggestions.

Everything was top notch! Service, food, atmosphere

Everything was perfect! The food, the wine and the service. One of my favorites in NYC!

Such a cute spot with huge selection of wine and really really good food

Lovely place with a cosy atmosphere. Tapas and tiramisu were excellent as well as the service.

Four people sharing Tapas in an intimate setting.loved it

Excellent food and service

Lovely experience with drinks and the ambiance.

Lovely place , good music, good food and best attention. :)

Cute vibe and good wine but food was not very good and super overpriced - wouldn’t recommend

Tasty, and enjoyed the happy hour!

Nice place!!

Fun little Spanish restaurant

Good foods and vibes

Small restaurant near Broadway with Spanish tapas and “Mahou 5 stars”, without a doubt the best beer in the world👍. Very delicious food, friendly staff and good atmosphere. We will return without hesitation.

We tried almost all the tapas and they were delicious, cozy and cute place. We are definitely coming back!!!

A very nice tapas bar and wine bar! The decoration and atmosphere is very warm (which is pleasant in this very busy area). The tapas are very good and the price of wine is absolutely right!The staff are lovely and very helpful! I highly recommend for a one-on-one or group dinner!

The tapas were good but the service was poor. Those serving were more concerned about their cell phones than the customers. The environment is pleasant.

Superb place. I recommend!

A cozy atmosphere, very nice staff and food 👌

Very nice address I recommend

A small but nice location. Very nice and high quality furnishings. Fantastic tapas. Be sure to reserve in advance if you want a table. Starter avocado salad with tuna tartare is my insider tip.

Excellent atmosphere and food! Including Francisco, who is the owner, who welcomed us with great kindness and happiness! I was delighted with the restaurant. I plan to return

Excellent place to have a wine!

Excellent. Very good, very cozy atmosphere. Good wine and fresh produce. Far from the world of 5th Ave. To do

A cozy place with a lot of friendliness and good food. If youre in the mood for a Spanish beer, they have Mahou and Alhambra. I will definitely return when I visit Midtown NY!

Excellent food, atmosphere and service

Good food, excellent service.
