Mostrador NYC

This is a little hotel restaurant in an odd location. It's pretty close to Au Cheval and I guess that placed rubbed off on here as they had a surprisingly good burger (more on that later) while the rest was just fine. I wouldn't exactly call the spot Argentine but they have a few dishes that are loosely related to there and the rest of the menu had some small plates and a couple pretty larger ones. They have a nice happy hour including some dishes that aren't on the main menu as well as better alcohol and wine deals. The staff was nice and it was pretty quiet especially when someone stopped playing the piano in the lobby. They were oddly out of some drinks already such as one person in my party getting the last glass of their mulled wine and I think one appetizer was out which doesn't help the small menu.For Happy Hour, I went with the Draft Manhattan for $12 which is usually $16 as the negroni was gin based. It was pretty tasty with light bitterness. The wine glasses of the day for others on said menu were $9 instead of the usual and I think it was either a Montepulciano or a Sauvignon Blanc. As noted above, only one person got the Mulled Wine as they were out and they appeared to like it a lot. In terms of food from the happy hour, they sell single empanadas for $6 which are normally only sold as $14 for 2. There was a beef one, a cheddar and onion one, and a chicken one and people seemed to like them. I'm unsure if they are made in house but people liked them. I got the charcuterie platter for $12 which is oddly only on the HH menu which had Manchego cheese along with a very lightly spiced chorizo and another salami type sausage and it came with bread. This was fine.My main dish was the easy star of the night which as noted was the burger. Listed as Charly Garcia's Corner, it was $20 for a beef burger with cheddar, pickled cucumber, and red onion or $29 for the Hand Cut Fries in addition which is also available as a snack for $9. For a solo patty, it was a pretty large burger and the burger was juicy and cooked medium rare as requested. The pickled cucumber was a nice touch as well the slightly astringent raw sliced onion which I'm usually not the the biggest fan of but they worked here. I didn't mind the lack of the lettuce and tomato on it either. There was also a sauce which was thousand island equivalent which worked. Notable also was the fries as they weren't the usual. They were much lighter fried almost closer to slightly fried wedges and had a little bit of shredded cheese on them which I think was parmesan as well as an herb for garnish which presumably was parsley.Otherwise, another person got the Hummus and Pita for $9 with olive oil and paprika which was a decent portion but not notable otherwise outside of the texture being lacking and that it was very likely a store brand with said toppings for pizzazz. A few people enjoyed their Gambas al Ajillo for $15 with shrimp, chili, white wine, and a garlic emulsion which was a small portion but they thought the flavor was excellent.The burger as noted was the best and is the main thing helping the rating. If I didn't order said burger, I'd give this place a mid 2 as it's a bit pricey for the rather generic quality. Lower 3 for the burger so a 3 still.

Super cute cafe tucked into the side of the hotel, able to feel intimate without the flow of traffic from the hotel. I really enjoyed their cold brew, and every single thing from the menu was really good. But the highlight for me was the lox toast. Have never had it like this and it overshadowed everything else! We also had the dulce de leche flan and even though it was delicious, it was very dense and rich, and felt more like eating a mousse. Really nice and quick service, great for a brunch with a couple friends, not a group (small tables!) . Would visit again :)

The drinks and desserts were not good. The appetizers and mains were delicious. My suggestion would be to order wine and find a dessert restaurant close by. The drinks were not well balanced and took entirely too long to get to the table. We had the Caipirinha and Mi Amante Flor. Neither was good. For dessert, we had the Dulce cake and it was burnt.The burnt butter was the best thing we had all night. The empanadas, papardelle, the halibut, and chupin were are good.

Food was overpriced and mediocre.Service was spotty/inconsistent (wrong coffee, slow service, etc).The only upside was that because it is located inside the w hotel, it is nice and quiet. Loved the interior design but wouldn't waste money just for that.

We came here for a late night drink because the speak easy Saint Tuesday was hosting a private 25th birthday party! We chatted and talked and drank and had a lot of laughs! It's a long restaurant and it seems pretty cool. We willhave to come back for food and drink. Always fun to discover something that you never knew about before!

it was really good! We came in on a Saturday morning and it was fairly empty. We sat at the bar, and Julian took excellent care of us! Food was amazing and we'll presentented! I had the octopus, and that was amazing. Also a very generous serving. The pasta was great, but I really do think the star of the show was the flan at the end! That was a great suggestion, and absolutely delicious.A small spot, but keeps the good food coming out.

This place is a bit full of itself for what it is. Lackadaisical service, bland and runny scrambled eggs. Better brunch places in TriBeCa.

This is an elegant restaurant inside the Walker hotel with delicious Argentinian cuisine. Order the potato tortilla because with the aioli and anchovies, it's probably unlike any you've tried before. The empanadas had a unique smokey flavor to it, and the whole branzino was cooked to perfection with the beet and herb salad.

Very cool little restaurant beautifully laid out great service interesting dishes I like the vibe very much. I was here for a special food and wine event but I could tell the regular menu has a lot to offer. Definitely will be back to give it a go.

Mostrador has it all: ambiance, great food, and service. We had delicious cocktails, the paella, and the honey nut squash salad. all the ingredients are top-notch and everything was delicious. highly recommend
