Dali NYC

My steak was pretty good once it arrived and hour and a half after everyone else in our party had finished their food. We had 10 people in our party. By the time my food arrived, everyone had completed their appetizers and meals. I actually went into the kitchen and asked if my order was put into the system since it took so long! Not sure if the food was actually tasty or I was beyond hungry that I scarfed it down. My drink came out incorrect. I ordered a Manhattan, I got a mojito. Not even close! The atmosphere was on point. They were having an art auction with some really interesting pieces as house music played throughout the night. When the check came, that was another debacle. Our party of 10 had split the check. Somehow our bill was totally incorrect. Somehow it was doubled. After we got the bill straightened out, we still gave the waitress a generous tip. Sad to say if I were to return, it would only be for the artwork and decor. Not for the food or drinks.

Had an amazing time here! The owner, Meredith, and the bartender were both accommodating and attentive even though we had a pretty large group (15-20 people in total). They reserved enough space for us in advance. Drinks were delicious and aesthetically pleasing. Well be back for sure. Highly recommend!!

We had a great dinner, the yuca is very well treated and it is very smooth to eat. The octopus was very well cooked. The ceviche was tasty. I loved the calamari with the apple, great combo! We had cocktails and then the place had a dj. We stayed until closure! We had the best time!

What an amazing new hotspot to grab bites and drinks as a pregame or the ultimate destination for your night out. This came on my radar after one of my top celebrity clients that I style for hosted an event here. She highly recommended it. Im so glad I took her up on that recommendation .The DJ was incredible and so was the setup. The food is good and the drinks are high quality. They did not skimp on any details in creating the new LES Haven. They also have a signature drink thats absolutely amazing and named after the establishment. The owners are incredible and so are the patrons. This will be my new go-to! I cant wait to revisit in the next week or two. Highly recommended!

This place is amazing. Every single thing on the menu is extremely delicious and well made. Try the steak and the Diablo drink and the Yuka. I promise you you wont be disappointed! While youre eating, take notice of the top notch artwork (made by the owners brother), the music and the ambiance. Be sure to tip your bartender well because she makes amazing drinks. I will definitely be back again!

The most friendliest down to earth staff Ive ever met! The watermelon margarita was spicy and amazing....The Beet salad was delicious. My Husband and I will definitely be back!😊

Love the food, drinks, and awesome eclectic atmosphere. The owners are friendly and personable. Definitely recommend!

This place is incredible! Every single dish on the menu is not only delicious but also thoughtfully crafted. From the food to the drinks to the vibrant, eclectic atmosphere, everything about this restaurant stands out.We always have an amazing dinner here. The yuca is perfectly prepared and such a delightful treat. The octopus is cooked to perfection—tender and flavorful. I absolutely loved the calamari and the beet salad, both bursting with freshness and creativity. The pan con tomate is simple yet exceptional, and the table de carne is worthy of an order.One of the highlights is the carbonara, which my son can’t get enough of—it’s honestly one of the best I’ve ever tasted. The mussels are another must-try.The owners truly make the experience even more special. They’re always so warm and welcoming, treating me and my family like old friends. Their hospitality adds a personal touch that makes this restaurant feel like home.I can’t recommend this place enough—it’s a gem in every sense of the word!

The food, drinks, ambience, service & everything about this place is phenomenal!!! I will be back many many times and cannot wait for my next time there. Truly a unique and incredible experience. Its a must go!!!!!!!

We had an amazing experience. Happy hour is 5-7 and there was LIVE MUSIC! He will be back on thursdays and fridays.Food was awesome! Would totally come back. Happy hour food& drinks were $10!

This is the swankiest, sexiest, coolest restaurant Ive seen in a long time. I ordered the meatballs for an appetizer... Delicious and generous. Then I ordered the Carbonara and also the Shrimp. Both are entrees but with the intention of bringing some home. Again both dishes were perfect. The pasta and shrimp were cooked perfectly and so tasty. The shrimp had a garlic sauce that was better than any scampi sauce Ive ever tasted. Even though I was stuffed I had to force myself to stop eating so I can enjoy for lunch today. The cocktail menu is ingenious. Try the El Diablo 22 cocktail. It has a rim that is so good when you drink it youll be sure to use the entire rim. For a dessert try the panna cotta. I dont know what it was made out of but its the most delicious dessert Ive ever had. The decor is so cool and the server, bartender, manager and owner made sure everything was perfect. Even the busser was friendly and professional. I was treated like a star. I dont usually leave reviews but they deserve it. I wish I wouldve taken more pics but I was so caught up and mesmerized that I forgot to lol. Oh yeah I ordered lamb chops to go for my wife 😉

Found this place by coincidence and loved it right away . It’s located in Avery upcoming part of China town -very hip and beautiful designed . The drinks were super tasty and delicious.and the food looked incredible . I have to come back to try everything …. I forgot to mention the staff is super friendly especially the daughter of the owner .

Weird vibe. Clubby decor, slow service, great drinks. If they overhauled FOH and changed the oppressive techno playing at 5:30pm, I would be able to recommend this place. As it is, I can’t.

Stunning ambiance, would recommend their “Max” drink! Will go again with my girls or a first date. Food was plated beautifully, the yucca fries were BOMB.

This place is a mess! Terrible management, they can decide to close any day they want, not bother to call and cancel existing reservation. Very disrespectful and zero regards for customers who took the time to make reservations in advance and travel to their place only to see closed doors with no signs explaining what is happening? No one answering the phone, no one emailed or called to cancel the reservation. I never witnessed something like this in my life, there so many better places, nicer customer service and better food and drink in Manhattan so better take your business to some place who appreciate it!

Great music, place has a very chill vibe. Drinks are expensive - vodka soda for $30 but other than that great vibe and chill music

Good ambiance, but the service was very slow and the drinks were not good. Our group only got drinks and there weren’t too many people at the restaurant but it was a long wait. The cocktails we had were overly sweet and not worth the price ($24 for one).

A great place grab drinks and enjoy the music if you are near Chinatown. I like the atmosphere of the restaurant and it has a good sound system. Staffs are friendly and the drinks are good. There was an event going on last time I went and it was a great vibe!

I had an awesome time at Dali NYC for my birthday! 🎉 Met Nico, whos an absolute gem of a host. He treats his staff like family, and that vibe totally adds to the welcoming atmosphere. The drinks are spot on, and the bar staff couldnt be friendlier. If youre looking for a cool spot to celebrate or just hang out, definitely swing by Dali NYC. Cheers to good times and great vibes!

Met Very friendly owner like an old friend. Food is delicious and fresh. Seafood wholesale almost next door. Drink size is huge. Definitely will come back for late time DJ.

Great cocktails, great decor and good vibe! Also wasn’t completely crowded which was a pleasant surprise

It was an absolute pleasure coming here for my first time for a late dinner and music on a Wednesday night. The Spanish tapas were spectacular, a particular standout was the meatballs (wagyu? Cant recall). Drinks were original and delicious.They have obviously worked on both the decor, with lots of interesting paintings, and the general vibe of the place, which is welcoming, warm, and quite alive. Charles, the doorman is a very interesting character, the dj was great, and Sterling (who hosts some Wednesday nights) brought a lot of interesting and beautiful people.I highly recommend Dali for food and atmosphere, especially if you anticipate starting and ending your night late.

Dali has such good food and cool bartenders. I love the steak and Yuca fries as well as the pasta. The coquito drinks are so good.

Terrible. They overcharged me (by about $100) and did not respond to my email asking for a receipt. Ordered 4 drinks and tipped 20%, yet some how the bill was over $200. So sketch. Terrible service when we were there. The waitress ignored us. Also, just an overall a cringe place. Go anywhere in that area but here lol

Had a great night, thanks to the amazing waitress. Great alcohol 🍸, good DJ but music is too loud to be able to talk. Good for dancing tho.I do not recommend to go with a promoter cause ours was unfriendly and a liar.

As soon as I walked in I was transported into a lovely oasis of house/techno/trance with an enchanting Spanish gothic interior. Contemporary culinary Spanish tapas at its finest. With incredible cocktails and wine. Absolutely a must hands down one of the best new spots open in Chinatown.

Elegant and opulent design by owner Nico. Amazing brunch menu and food options for the guest who wants to dine and enjoy a delicious cocktail with their huevos rancheros!! Also the French toast is decadently divine, wait until you sink your teeth into its creamy goodness!! Also go for the Burlesque Brunch show, it is top level tier entertainment and music!!

Hidden Gem sounds Cliché. But this is Authentic International Spanish /Mediterranean flair. Nestled deep downtown. You enter a sensory overload. The food is delicious, the service is kind and knowledgeable. The owner takes a lot of pride and attention to detail is immpeccable.Checkout tell Nico tell him I sent you!

Absolutely not recommending this place. We waited 1 hour and a half to receive our food. We saw by the end that 2 dishes were on the note but we dit not even receive them. The service was not good at all, the food was ok. But if you want to eat at 8pm, you need to order at 6pm. That’s a shame and I would never come to this place again.

Went out for the weekend with my girls! Such an amazing fun environment. Food was amazing and the deserts were so good. Panna cotta was delicious highly recommend!!!! Everyone is so welcoming.

Tasty food with great aesthetic, vibes and bathrooms. Great staff and fantastic owners with unique programming. Definitely a must visit!

Lovely vibe, Gala cocktail is delicious as is the beet salad. Niko, the owner, is a local of 20+ years and makes you feel very welcome 🙏

Delicious food. Champignones are amazing and ceviche is lemony and perfect!

The food is okay- owners don’t seem to treat their employees well. Staff are not given breaks after 8 hour shifts and are heavily underpaid. Come here for the “night” vibes but don’t come if you are against toxic and exploitative work culture.

Its a nice little place with friendly staff. The owner took her time to introduce herself and the food was delicious!

Great experience!But could have a little more octopus in their octopus dish.

Beautiful atmosphere. Service was fantastic. Owners went out of their way to be sure our party was comfortable and happy. Only had drinks which were well thought out and executed. I definitely plan to return for tapas!!

The food was next level good. Every aspect of the experience was impeccable. My only complaint is the service was too good.

Delicious food , great music . Warm atmosphere as u are at home . 🏡

Amazing atmosphere food was outstanding and staff was very friendly. If you are in china town I definitely would recommend this place

Presentation of the food is amazing and everyone there has wonderful energy. I high recommend coming here.

Excellent food & craft cocktails with friendly service & great music

Great food and a fun night with 3 amazing DJ and a fun crowd!

This is the place to go. Not only is the food fabulous, the drinks are imaginative and the owners are passionate about your experience.

Very pretty looking place. I had drinks at the bar with friends. They can be very shady about the bill. Gratuity was included without my knowledge at first. Once I was able to confirm the strange charge as gratuity I chose not to tip. After the initial charge they told me my I had “partial” bill left over. Super strange experience here.

My favorite spot in NYC. The owners are the nicest people ever! Highly recommend the food, great drinks and fantastic music

Came across this place by accident and loved the energy and the food! Atmosphere was excellent, staff was so friendly and kind... gave me kinda the perfect night

This place is so nice, in the later hours the lighting and the DJ are really cool. The food is absolutely amazing, I left and kept thinking I couldn’t wait to go back. Drinks are top notch! Owners are very friendly and on site most days.

Best place I’ve been in manhattan, great vibes, great and unique drink, casual but good service and the music it’s really dope

It’s only a matter of time before this place blows up. Check them out before they do!

Nasty disgusting place WITH THIEF OWNERS

The drinks were good, the place was not crowded so it made it easier for our big group. Excellent lesson music. We tried some food and it was all really good

I was there last week and the food was incredible. The atmosphere and ambiance were beautiful. Amazing crowd and the staff were top notch. Def going back.

I went to Dali with my son Faris. The atmosphere was super inviting. The owner Neil was extremely kind. The food was amazing. I rarely order steak because most restaurants get it wrong, but Neil assured me that it would be worth it. It was the best steak I ever had. My son ordered shrimp and the Spanish Fries and he loved them. If you want a great place to eat at reasonable prices, Dali is the place to go

Staff are all friendly and helpful. Excellent food - especially the seafood dishes! Our faves were the Octopus and Sepia. FYI this place has nothing to do with Salvador Dali, its named for the owners kids.

Food its great beautiful people great ambiance perfect night life ...New York was in need of a space like this

Don’t even go nearby to this place

Great drink spot!Perfect balance of being busy but not too crowded. LOVE the decor. Bartenders were fun and made some great cocktails. Didn’t eat anything but the food looked good.Recommend for a date, drinks with friends, or after work with co-workers. Very small place so wouldn’t be great for large groups.

Good place in Chinatown to get some drinks late night.

Meredith, one of the owners, came and sat with me and my guest for a moment.She was inviting and welcoming.She checked in a few times to see how things were.Waiters and waitresses were as attentative.Food stood out with detail to plating.Decor, once inside, is fitting to an upscale and posh downtown vibe.It was the personal touch of Meredith, though, that mak3s this place stand out.

100% recommend to anyone. The whole atmosphere is something I haven’t experienced anywhere else. Owners put a lot of time into it and it shows!

Beautiful place! I loved the ambiance and it was a perfect place to have drinks and eat some good food. The desserts were AMAZING. I’ll definitely come again for the dulce beso.

Great spot delicious food and drinks! Welcome addition to this area

Have been waiting for 30min with no service

….this place is highly suspect. Kind of seems like a front

This was a brand new fantasy me and my wife thoroughly enjoyed it

Very generous casino generous offer

A cool bar, with great ambiance!

Great happy hour

The owner is a thief

Dirty place, dirty owners

Drinks are great

A hidden gem

$10 cocktails at happy hour, super delicious and affordable tapas and very pleasant service. Recommended 100%.

Fascinating

Super delicious food and great service, highly recommended 👌👌👌

So succulent! We wanted a culinary experience and this place surprised us! I highly recommend! We ate ceviche, octopus, rib eyes, and a special shrimp plantin! If you can I recommend these choices! ;)

An incredible experience
