Rarely my boyfriend get time to go out as we both work such crazy schedules. This place was amazing and made our 'date night' that much more enjoyable. The food was excellent, the wine list - amazing and I can't say enough about the service. Our waiter was extremely attentive and considerate.
We will definitely be back! Thanks Las Ramblas!
Pros: Good atmosphere, friendly service, good food

I love going here. Taking out of town friends through the kitchen to the dining room that faces 10th Street is always fun. Hanging and having nibbles at the bar is a perfect mid-week hang, too. And in winter, you can't beat fireplace-side seating.
Pros: Great wine and food, beautiful and fun vibe

So tasty!!! The pinchos variados appetizer was amazing...you get three different kinds of meat, a mini flame to heat them up to your liking, and numerous dipping sauces. The salmon ceviche was delish with just the right amount of lime juice and cilantro. The guac was amazing as well. I'd definitely recommend going with a group and sharing a bunch of tapas rather than ordering an entree.
We went at 9pm on a Friday night (group of 5) and definitely expected to wait. We were told 20 minutes, which ended up being more like an hour, which was annoying. I wasn't totally impressed by my drinks...the Yuca Sunrise (margarita and sangria) was OK. I definitely didn't like my Yuca Kiss. Drink prices are definitely reasonable ($10).
Pros: Fresh, large menu, fun
Cons: Long wait, very loud

I've been to Il Buco about a dozen times and it manages to impress and surprise me in a new way each time. My last visit was no exception. Though it was a busy Friday night, the staff was uber-pleasant and welcoming, unhurried and eager to make sure we were happy with our table and then well attended to throughout our meal. Unlike so many other lookalike Italian restaurants that serve taste-alike food, this restaurant seems to find a way to introduce something new every day. With market-fresh produce and the dishes that are inspired by them, you always feel like you're eating the best of each ingredient at its peak of flavor. Not sure what to order? No problem, the wait staff is helpful and knowledgeable.
The noise level is unfortunately pretty high, especially in the area near the entrance and bar (thought the bar crowd itself is pretty tame). If you want a quite(r) table, there are two two-tops that are set aside or you can always ask for the far ends of one of the several huge communal tables. You really have to request the two-tops or quite tables in advance or you'll be put in the middle of other diners already shouting to be heard. There is also a round table for four or more next to the bar that is pretty ideal if you want to see the street. The back-most room is very dark and can be warm in the summer because of it's proximity to the open kitchen. For the same reason, it's a perfect place to be seated in the fall or winter.
Highly recommended.
Pros: Food, Service, Decor, Location
Cons: Noise

I was in New York City visiting my girls and one of them is real cool with Kong from theKONGLIST- NYC promoter and did he show us to a good time or what? He escorted me & 3 girls inside, gave us a grand tour of the venue...wooden furnitures & fixtures, ice-sculpted deer heads on the wall against the bar and the back opens up to remind me of a snowy-night up in the Aspen mountains! Drinks were average (around $10)...the music was INCREDIBLE (dj's spinning the hottest & latest new hits from the East Coast)...but above all, Kong was like the greatest host I've ever met! He was an absolute gentlemen and took care of us like we were life long friends! I'm sure he's been doing this for years and I would always support his parties and choice of venues...Aspen is a FUN-TA-BULOUS spot...I'm sure that's why he's there! lol
Pros: Classy, upscale crowd w/ awesome music!
Cons: Wish ASPEN was in L.A.

We had a 10pm reservation here on a Saturday night. It was a good thing we had one, because the people that were coming in without one had an hour or more wait. The service was the best we experienced in NYC- by far. The food was also very good.
Pros: service,food
Cons: What are the drawbacks?
