Booked 20 times today
An Iberian take on the classic American all-day restaurant, Spanish Diner features larger portions of Spanish favorites from the mind of award-winning chef José Andrés. Dishes like gambas al ajillo, croquetas de pollo, gazpacho, and patatas bravas are all on the menu, along with a focus on regional specialties like fabada asturiana and cocido madrileño. Egg dishes are a specialty with classics like the iconic tortilla española, huevos estrellados, and huevos revueltos. The menu at Spanish Diner is quintessentially Spanish, but you’ll be hard-pressed to find these dishes at any restaurant in Spain as these are the recipes that are found at home, shared around the kitchen table with family and friends, generation after generation.

    Great Food! Great Wine! Reasonable price. The seating is a bit crowded, but there is a lot of demand for this restaurant (they were packed--glad we made a reservation). They were very accommodating to my wife's gluten-free requirements. If I were a local, I would go again for sure

    Small plates only, which was fine for us. Pacing of the plates was decent. Quantities of items was not clear on the menu so complicated when dividing amongst a group - (I wish these tapas type resturants would have some scaling factor with these plates - one order too small, two is too many - but that is a general complaint). Everything we tried was very good, and the drink menu was a nice surprise. We were in what I would assume was an event space/overflow room, which was not the best space for a small group dinner, but that is being picky. Recommmended.

    First time here and it was a great experience. We liked all the food we had. As starters octopus and beef tartare (not really classic way of preparing it, has a lot of tomato sauce, but tasty). Mains were mushroom souvlaki, half chicken and shrimp. All wonderful. No space for dessert. Will try next time, because there definitely will be a next time.

    We enjoyed our birthday celebration at Pinstripes, but I have one suggestion. The "truffle fries" were very disappointing - not tasty or hot. They were thinner than shoestring size and not at all appetizing. I recommend you rethink that offering. Everything else was very enjoyable.
