Went here for our anniversary 2 days ago, and the food was phenomenal! Best lobster ravioli I’ve ever had in my life.
Octopus for appetizer was also 10/10 delicious! Andres was our server and was very friendly and gave great recommendations.

I was absolutely in shock with how amazing all the food was. We got the Chilean sea bass ceviche and baby calamari to start, the ceviche was incredible. For our mains we ordered the skirt steak and oxtail, our server paired the perfect wine with our mains.
Incredible service, extremely attentive and caring. Will absolutely be coming back!

Buena Vista Restaurant and Bar offers cozy, comfortable seating with beautifully designed brick walls and decorative accents. The staff was attentive and gave us excellent recommendations from their wonderful menu. Isabella, our server, was especially helpful and friendly.
The food was exquisite—from the drinks to the appetizers and dinner. For starters, we had the tuna and mussels, both full of flavor. We truly enjoyed the sea bass and the salmon; each dish was delicious and perfectly prepared. We will be back.

Dinner was delicious, service was attentive and friendly. Our server, Micah was great! We started with the Tamal and hanger cured pork tenderloin with the sunny side quail egg. Both were delicious, the hanger cured pork was unique. For our entrees, the duck was perfectly cooked as suggested by the chef. The skirt steak was very tender, nice portion. Cute place, definitely will come back to try other dishes on the menu.

Amazing! We never made it to main course because we re-ordered the same appetizers- sea bass ceviche (outstanding) grilled octopus (texture, taste, it was perfect) cured pork tenderloin on plantains with manchego cheese (wow) sushi tuna brosquette (delicious) and sweet plantain was the cherry on top! It was a mouth watering experience served with pride, knowledge and enthusiasm. Buena Vista was recommended to us, otherwise if we didn’t know about it, we would have passed it, maybe glanced at the A frame menu outside the restaurant, but likely wouldn’t have been interested. But I hope you don’t just overlook it/ in fact- I hope, if you are in NY- put it on the top of your list for dinner destination! HIGHLY RECOMMEND NOT TO MISS! Planning to return with my family next.

This Manhattan establishment, though modest in size, offers exceptional cuisine and service. The value provided fully justifies the cost. We highly recommend a visit or reservation if you are in the city and seeking a remarkable dining experience.
Enjoy your dinner

The is an intimate dining experience in a cozy exposed brick setting. Buena Vista is the perfect restaurant for date night. With Latin American dishes and exceptional cocktails, we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner.
I recommend the seared duck and sea bass for entrees. Portions are generous and service is attentive. Don’t forget to order some cocktails or wine!

I had a wonderful experience at Buenavista Restaurant in New York. Our server, Wagner, was absolutely fantastic. He made the evening so special with his attentive and friendly service. I enjoyed a delicious surf and turf that was perfectly cooked, and the appetizers, especially the oxtail-stuffed potato balls were out of this world. I also had a guava margarita that was just perfect. Overall, Wagner made the night truly memorable, and I couldn’t have asked for better service.
