Best

Agozar Cuban Bistro infuses the Bowery with the liveliest Cuban food NYC has to offer. Our Cuban restaurant...

Worst

Maybe they're just getting their sea legs. I don't know. But here's what I thought. The margaritas were too tart. The space cramped. The service disorganized(though very nice...

just drinks 9/11/2003

Cool idea, but they trick you with the tapas...you think it's cheap? forget it. With the tiny protions you need at least 3 plates....and this is not real Latin food...so, stay at the bar area and enjoy the music and flavored drinks...they're worth it. Pros: Atmosphere, Latin Concet , Location Cons: Small Plates more

Event at Agozar! 8/20/2003

I had a dinner for 18 at Agozar last night and they were absolutely fantastic! I pre-chose the menu and they kept the food coming. Service was a tiny bit slow, but he cocktails were flowing, so no one cared. They had great live music and the entire staff and the owners were super friendly and took care of everything. I HIGHLY reccomend it! Pros: music, great cocktails, great food Cons: small more

The Village Has Something New 8/7/2003

Agozar brings you alive the minute you walk in the door. The food is excellent, lots of variety and very tasty. I prefer eating tappas because you get a good variety for your money. They have a well stacked bar. As for the drinks the bartender makes... they are the best. The vibrant colorful atmosphere gives it a friendly touch. Go on a night when they have live music and you'll probably get up late for work the next day! Pros: reasonably priced, great location, live music Cons: not good for lg group more

This place is bad 7/27/2003

This place is bad for dinner. Don't go there. It's food isn't that good and if you are hungry don't go there. Go to a deli around the corner or soething the food is better that way. And definately do not go with a group. Bills add up pretty quickly, put food down 10 bucks for a dish that has EXTREMELY small portions, just for tasting...Put drinks on top of the food and you are topping something like 40 bucks. 2 dishes 3 or 4 drinks... Cons: Small, Cramp seating, Unhelpful crew more

Don't go if you're hungry!!! 7/17/2003

The food is delicious, though porcion size is smaller than an appetizer. The place is tiny but cute, though the tables are way too small (maybe they go with the porcion size). Really good music and mojitos, but there was no AC in the bar/lounge area so we were dripping wet!!! (maybe it's a trick so that people drink more???) Pros: Delicious food, Good mojitos Cons: HOT, Porcion size more

BEG TO DIFFER 6/10/2003

Past reviews trashed this lovely bro & sis place. The duo are welcoming as is the gracious staff. The food and the drinks are just as good. The prices are all under $17 and START at $4!! That's inexpensive. There are always drink specials and amazing Happy Hours. Please stop trashing the place and come and HAVE A GREAT TIME! Pros: Gracious Owners, Gracious Staff, FOOD & DRINKS Cons: NONE more

It's getting worse! 6/5/2003

I've been coming to this place, since it first opened in December. I thought it was quaint and charming, when it first opened and the food was just ok, but it was the staff and the atmosphere that really drew me to the place over and over. Now, no one from the original staff is there, the girl bartender that used to greet me has been replaced by rude attitude bartenders and the food is taking 4 times longer to get to the table! What's the point, if the only thing that the place had going for it was the staff?! My advice. Avoid this place like the plague, unless you want to just throw your money away. Pros: In the Neighborhood Cons: Staff Attitude, Cramped, Small Portions more

Not great 5/1/2003

Went there with some girlfriends and by the end of the night we were all saying that we would never go back. 3 out of 4 of us ordered the tapas and one person ordered a regular meal. Slowly the tapas was coming out. And more tapas was coming out. The person who ordered the mail meal just sat there while the rest of us ate. The meal finally came out (cold I should add) and everyone else was done eating. The food was not even that good to wait around for. A bit of me babbling...but I won't be going back. more

A Tragedy!! 4/30/2003

The Bartenders have atttiude! The Host is inept and unable to control the waiting area. The waitress we had seemed annoyed to be working. She never mentioned the specials, the food came all at once and then she proceeded to rush us out..They ran out of black beans and rice and said they could bring the dish to us seperately( of course they then charged us for 2 sides)... A BIG BUST !! more

  • The Scene
    The bar's upbeat Latin music, colorful stools and cocktail napkins, and a fruity drink menu are the first confirmations that Agozar lives up to its translation: "A good time." Add gracious staff, 25 tasting-sized tapas and lively noise from the dining room and you'll be planning your second visit before you've been seated. Mingle at the angled bar or hit the narrow back room where the city's pretties are celebrating birthdays like it's their full-time job.

    The Food
    Cuban-raised siblings Diana and Gerardo Perez now offer their household favorites for sharing. (Servers suggest two per person for passing.) Groups will appreciate larger plates such as the harmonious Cuban sandwich with plantain chips, or mussels steamed in a banana leaf. But smaller dishes, including skewered marinated pork, breaded steak (Grandma's recipe) and four empanadas with four sauces, are where the chef shines, making each bite a small Cuban feast.
