Your team’s attention to detail, from greeting our guests to circulating with drinks and bites throughout the night, made everything feel seamless and warm. We’re grateful for your partnership and hospitality, and we hope to return for another gathering in the near future. Please extend our thanks to everyone who worked with us that evening.

Absolutely loved this place! The atmosphere is fantastic—cozy yet lively, perfect for a night out. The food was delicious; we had pasta and mussels, and both were amazing. The appetizers were also a standout—so flavorful and well-prepared. Definitely pair your meal with wine. The owner is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly—don’t hesitate to ask for a wine recommendation. Highly recommend!

One of the best tapas restaurants I’ve had anywhere in NYC and a diamond in the rough for the Times Square.l area. Highly recommend coming here before or after broadway shows or any time you’re craving Italian and Spanish tapas with a very nice selection of wine. Happy hour 4-6 PM

Wonderful wine bar with amazing food. Really enjoyed sitting outside, sipping an amazing orange wine, and eating delicious food. The truffles mushroom, baked cauliflower, delicate fish were perfect I’ll be back.

I recently had the pleasure of having brunch with friends at The Purple Tongue, and it was a wonderful experience. The service was attentive and friendly, making us feel right at home. The food was delicious, with perfect seasoning and fresh ingredients that really stood out. The pastries were a delightful treat, each bite better than the last. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and cozy, creating an intimate atmosphere perfect for gatherings. Though it's not large, the size adds to its charm. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a delightful brunch spot!

Everything was exceptional: food, service, and setting. Undoubtedly one of the best brunches I have had in the the city. The setting is warm, refined, and welcoming, with beautiful art pieces on display and enjoyable background music that ensures conversations are private without adding noise. The waitress was attentive, humorous, but never overbearing. The owner/ barista takes pride in his craft and will take time to explain kindly and passionately the different coffee offerings (which were remarkably flavorful and balanced). The frittata was fresh, fluffy, and perfectly seasoned. The avocado toast was delicious, with perfectly toasted bread covered with a generous amount of tasteful avocado mash. Those were topped with perfectly poached eggs that tasted farm-fresh, without any aftertaste. The pain au chocolat was a perfectly layered, airy and buttery scrumtiousness. This was such a delightful find. Will certainly be back to try the dinner menu. Update: Been back multiple times, never disappoints or wavers below exceptional in every single aspect. The attention to detail is in everything, down to the coffee which is much better than all the excellent coffee shops in the area. Eating here is an experience you owe yourselves. Regularly.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this fantastic restaurant and I must say, it was an incredible experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm and welcoming atmosphere that set the tone for the rest of the evening. One of the things that stood out to me immediately was the extensive wine list. As a wine enthusiast, I was thrilled to see such a diverse and carefully curated selection. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and helped me select the perfect bottle to pair with my meal. In addition to the impressive wine selection, the restaurant also boasts a rotating art gallery every month. It was such a delight to be surrounded by beautiful artwork as I enjoyed my meal. Speaking of the meal, it was absolutely delicious. Each dish was perfectly balanced and expertly prepared. The Burrata with roasted red beets, pistachio, and fresh herbs was a standout, as was the Mediterranean Grilled Octopus with roasted eggplant puree and black olive crumbs. The Short Ribs, which were slow roasted grass-fed beef with celery root puree, were tender and flavorful. I also appreciated the attention to detail in the presentation of each dish. The Cappellacci filled with ricotta & spinach and sautéed in butter & sage was not only delicious, but also beautifully presented. To top it all off, the coffee selection and desserts were equally impressive. The matcha tiramisu was out of this world and the perfect end to a truly memorable meal. Overall, I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. The combination of exceptional food, extensive wine selection, rotating art gallery, and impeccable service make for a truly wonderful dining experience.

We visited an old friend's new restaurant /wine bar last night, the food was amazing. I don't exactly remember the name of the food we ordered, just look at the pictures. Absolutely stunning and Tatsey. All interior decorations are very elegant and charming. The environment is unique and comfortable. I swear I'm not writing this because we're friends. Trust me go try it out and you will love it.

The service was all about pleasing the customer as Chloe graciously set up a tasting of various wines in search of the perfect one for me! And the food was precise and perfect! Well balanced from the elegant presentation, to the exact temperature, tantalizing texture and simply delicious as the short ribs melted in my mouth! WOW! This is Michelin Grade quality!

The best panacotta in the city with an amazing home made red fruits jam. The server Nitta was so welcoming and friendly.
