Boqueria

REVIEW

October 6, 2009


CUISINE: Spanish, Tapas, Venezuelan
NEIGHBORHOOD: Soho

Soho’s Boqueria has all of the components necessary for an enjoyable and authentic tapas experience: a robust wine list, an offering of traditional dishes and seasonally-crafted specials, bars or booths depending on your preference, and an open kitchen. Our server knew intimate details of each and every dish we ordered, reflecting upon the contrast of flavors, and which dishes would pair nicely. He recommended a bottle of wine that perfectly suited our requests and tastes, and ultimately the food was flawlessly prepared and equally delicious. CONT'D

 

But, despite the numerous ways Boqueria hits the nail on the head, the pieces of a great meal failed to add up to the lovely experience one would expect from such quality ingredients.  Minutes after we ordered, our server brought out the Papas Bravas —delicious, spicy, tangy, and a terrible choice for the first dish, especially when we had ordered much lighter salad-like fare as well. Every dish was subsequently rushed to the table, in such haphazard order that as diners we were overwhelmed not just by the number of plates on the table, but by the sheer speed by which they were delivered.  Instead of being able to enjoy the beautiful flavors of Chef Seamus Mullen’s food and a fine bottle of wine, our party paid more than $75 a head for a dinner that lasted less than an hour.  The food may be delicious, but worth it, Boqueria is not.
