"To be clear the rating was based on disbelief on an additional charge for a birthday that should have been perfect but kinda ruined by something so disappointing, given we spent like almost $800. The food was very good, although we order two tomahawk which was too salty, the rest, especially the appetizers were very good. Service was good and atmosphere and decor was nice. We were celebrating my wife's birthday which we brought a cake spent close to 800 on the full meal and they didnt even waive a cake fee of $2.50 per person. Outside of that they didn't even offer a birthday treat, which most restaurants would have done so. It wasn't the cost of the $17.50 charge for a cake fee, but very disappointed in what would have been a excellent birthday celebration. Its a pity, as we love being patrons to restaurants that have good cuisines and normally go back."

"I saw the seafood platter online and it looked absolutely mouth watering, so I went the very next day. Big mistake. The shrimp were mushy, which already tells you the seafood wasn’t fresh. The scallops were way too salty, drowned in olive oil to the point where all the natural flavor was gone. The cigala was relatively fresh but tasted like nothing. In short, it is a feast for the camera, not for the taste buds. That said, the rest of the dishes were actually decent. The potato and egg mash was silky smooth. The lamb chops were perfectly seared, though I wasn’t a fan of that brown sauce. The pork chop had a lovely creamy sauce that worked really well. The interior was nice enough, cozy but not too fancy. Still, I would probably hesitate before going back again"

"I have been so excited to try this restaurant and to be honest, I was disappointed. I spent my summers going to Galicia since I was a kid and was looking for a taste of Galicia. Tomiño fell short. The tortilla and croquetas were the only two food items that hit the mark. The empanadas de atún were overly salty(which was a recurring theme throughout the meal) and the main ingredients weren’t given the chance to shine. If anything they tasted more like chorizo than atún. The churrasco with chimichurri was dry, and the chimichurri lacked freshness or the bold flavors classically associated with the sauce. The zamburiñas and plancha board with langostinos and prawns were ok, but they were lathered with a green sauce that was essentially pure salt. The freshness and sweetness of the seafood did not come through. The mushrooms with grapes were a strange combination and the grapes were unnecessary. The arroz caldoso was a bit of a brighter spot in the meal but again lacked those classic Spanish flavors and the seafood flavor did not impart on the rice. The lobster was the best out of the seafood we ate however and was sweet and well cooked. The filloas were a waste of time. The ice cream they came with quite literally tasted like nothing and just served to cool the palate. You can go get crepes anywhere else that will be better . But overall the food, was just fine. For the cost of the meal, I expected better, and like in most Spanish cooking, I expected the simplicity of the ingredients to shine through more. However, the most annoying part of the dinner was that we were being rushed through the meal. We learned it was because they turn the main dining room into a dancing area at night. I walked to the bathroom and before I returned, a staff member demanded we pay before I even got back from the bathroom. My friends had to get my credit card from my bag in my absence because of how insistent they were on us paying quickly and moving out. It made the tail end of the meal very displeasing. I was eating lobster when my plate and utensils were taken away. Horrible service and a true insult to Galician hospitality. The music they played wasn’t even that good. Outside of getting drinks, I don’t think I would return to tomiño."

"Tomiño Taberna Gallega is absolutely amazing! The beer (Estrella Galicia 1906 Reserva Especial) was so 👍 good — crisp, smooth, and perfectly poured. A must-have if you visit! I also had the fried squid, and it was hands down the best I’ve ever had — perfectly crispy, tender inside, and topped with a flavorful green sauce that made it unforgettable. Pairing it with the fresh bread on the side was perfect. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service made the experience even better. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for authentic Spanish flavors in NYC. I’ll definitely be coming back!"

"Party of 4. Staffs are attentive and friendly. Food is good besides the aged steak was on the chewy side. Tapas were good and made fresh. Indoor decor is simple and clean. Drinks were good."
