Socarrat Paella Bar - Midtown East

0 star if possible. Not worth the price at all. Overpriced paella. The waiter whose name is Alex is extremely rude and unprofessional. We ordered a glass of orange juice and he forgot about it. No apologies. He seems reluctant to talk about anything. I feel like he has depression. Very pushy. He took away the dishes while we were still eating it. That was my first time here and I will never ever come back to dine with this restaurant chain.

We enjoy to go out. Last night we came to this magnificent place which we didn’t know before. We enjoyed a lovely time there with superb cooking and a well-trained stuff and a talented chef. We put this venue in our phone list and we shall definitely go again soon. Highly recommended.

Went to this restaurant about two weeks ago. Food was so so and overpriced.Service was terrible. The waiter never introduced himself. Barely smiled all night. (Perhaps we took too long to decide what we want?) A different waiter started serving us, no one bother telling us what’s going on. No one checked on us. As we got up to leave, the first waiter who served us bumped into me hard. No apology. He didn’t even look at me. He just kept walking like I wasn’t even there.

Amazing place, delicious food, superb service.

Food was very good and the ambience was great. Kinda pricey, but worth it if you love paella. Got the squid ink paella and it was delicious.

Good Spanish food (good price for US). recommend to go during happy hour tapas (until 7) and also ask the churros at the end!

Great paella, and friendly service. We ordered a paella for 2 and it ended up being enough for 3 people, so the portion sizes are certainly generous. A little on the pricy side but it’s to be expected for a tapas restaurant.

Super good food. Service was awesome too. Great for tapas, my favorite was the chorizo croquettes. Also the chorizo in wine was awesome. Must go place in NYC.

I had a great time with my family in this place. Tapas were so good, paella was nice but to me, was a bit dry, I personally prefer it a little moister. Service was great, very friendly and helpful. A plus, happy hour at the bar, tapas half price and 3 different kinds of sangria, that was nice!

Big fan of Socarrat Paella Bar. Their bacon-wrapped dates stuffed with Valdeón cheese & almonds in a roasted apple purée were AMAZING. I was just SO impressed with all of the tapas. It really says something positive about a restaurant when the appetizers are just as delicious and well thought out as the main dishes! Can’t say I didn’t love the seafood paella as well, but I’d be tempted to go back just to try out more of their tapas 😋

The food was fantastic. Very affordable. The Sangrias are out of this world. And the customer service was fabulous. A perfect place for couples and groups to go to.

Always my go-to spot when I have friends visiting New York. Love the paella here! Especially the one with squid ink. It’s probably one of the best ones I find in the city. However note that the paella takes an hour to be ready so make sure you budget enough time (for lunch or dinner) when you visit. Last time we were in a rush so I got their grilled cod fish and it was great!

I love seafood paella. In this case, a picture is worth a thousand words...Paella for 2. I will not be back 🙄

Loved the squid ink paella and red pepper croquettes. Pitchers of white wine sangria were great as well. Good for groups!

Food was excellent and service to match
