Reyna New York

One of the best meals we had in the city on this trip. I just love the small plate concept, we've had about 6 dishes total. Our server was amazing, so many great recommendations! It was a busy night and she kept up with all her tables pretty well. The dim lights, high ceiling and chandeliers were perfect for our anniversary dinner. I'm sure we'll keep this in the rotation! And please, order some cocktails! 10/10

Good food. Slow service. The burger was good but it took nearly 40 mins to arrive despite the restaurant being half empty. Wish the side salad portion was more generous.Liked the look of the restaurant. Very clean. Waiter was kind but yeah.. slow pace for something simple especially when the restaurant was barely half full.

Originally located in Toronto, Reyna is a nice Mediterranean restaurant which I went to a good while ago with a group. They are more popular for brunch but we went there for dinner. The staff was friendly and gave good recommendations and knew the menu well such as allergies for one of the other people and gave drink recommendations. I believe there was a red sangria special or something similar which someone else drunk which they enjoyed. In terms of food, the menu is smaller than many other similar spots such as Zaytinya or Ilili for instance but I would say that the food quality is a bit more consistent but doesn't reach their peaks.From the Reyna Gems section, I ordered one of the Lamb Baklava which is probably their most famous dish for $9 with kataifi, braised lamb shank, burnt honey saffron aioli, and pistachio. The closest thing I could compare this would be the Moroccan B'stilla/(or pastilla) due to the the mix of sweetness and savoriness outside of it being pistachios and it being a bit less spiced. The dish as expected for the price wasn't the largest but it was pretty tasty. Possibly a bit sweet due to the honey but the earthy nuttiness from the pistachio helped. It's rich enough to share as well even with the small portion. From the fries section, someone else ordered the Arabic Fries for $12 which were za'atar spiced with date ketchup which had a slight sourness from the spice though the ketchup didn't taste too unique outside of the sweetness but they were good shoestring fries in terms of texture.My main dish was the Muhammara Filet with black angus filet, muhammara, gremolata, and veal jus which is available either for 6 oz for $44 or 12 oz for $86. The steak had a nice presentation being pre sliced and topped with said gremolata while the muhammara or red pepper walnut dip was on the bottom. The steak had more of a chew than I expected with some brightness from the gremolata and a bit of earthiness from the muhammara. If the steak was better, it would be excellent but it was still good. Another person ordered the Lebanese Tacos which they liked. This was a tasty spot. It's not the most notable Mediterranean place but the flavors are accurate for the price point and there is just enough creativity without being too much. Low 4.

If you find yourself needing to make a last minute reservation for a weekend brunch with friends, then reyna is the place. The ambiance is amazing and very picturesque. The service seems decent enough.Unfortunately the food left a lot to be desired. There was just nothing really great on the brunch menu. I had the short rib grilled cheese which lacked both meat AND cheese relative to the bread. I was told it would be a heavier meal but I felt kinda hungry afterwards.

A group of us, including the gals, went for a pre holiday dinner/celebration. The beau and I arrived early and went to the bar to catch the happy hour while we waited for the rest of our party. The martini I ordered arrived warm and unshaken which was a disappointing way to start. Fortunately everything else was very good. The table shared all of the dishes we ordered and we all agreed the food was quite good. The restaurant itself is very cute, warm, and inviting. The staff were helpful and cheerful. We enjoyed the experience.

Great ambiance but food is meh and on the lighter side. The interior design and ambiance is definitely great for couples or groups. But the food is quite light. I had the Reyna's Croque Madame from the brunch mains sections. It was literally one slide of bread, some smoked salmons, a poached egg with some garnish, and a bunch of salad around it. I think all the ingredients work really well but it was just a really light dish that will still leave you hungry afterwards.

Bottomless Aperol spritz and mimosas in fancy delicate glass canteens is one of the reasons why I chose this place. Something special for a reunion with my dear school friends. Also this was one of the few hidden bottomless brunch places without the line out the door. There were unique brunch items such as the pistachio French toast, other Mediterranean twists on your usual favorites breakfast items. But my focus was on the drinks. I did opt out of the bottomless brunch ideas because the cocktails here were unique in name, presentation and taste. Service and attention to detail was good. Very cozy ambiance and great speakeasy volume. So good, we were glad our reunion here lasted 4 great extended hours of great friends, tasty food and delicious libations.

Beautiful restaurants with great service, creative drinks and good food. My favorite was the Greek fries and the hanging scallops

Came for small bites and drinks during happy hour and from the door to getting the check everyone we interacted with was friendly and welcoming! Our bartender Cinza was knowledgeable and friendly! Loved getting to chat and be guided through the menu from her! A definite return visitor!

Food was great and our server Cinzia was phenomenal taking care of us and everyone else at the bar.
