Third time dining. Was a bit disappointed with quality of food. Tortilla was served almost cold and was more of a frittata with eggs and leeks. Shrimp head was good. Calamari also came almost in salad style in winter with cold onions. Off-season temperatures with food disappointed us. Room was also very cold to dine in, we asked if heaters could be turned on but servers just said they’ll see and never turned it on.
Burger was good.
Fish came really buttery… almost excessively. But was fine.

Small restaurant with mostly barstool seating that is uncomfortably close together. Thankfully the food and service is fantastic. Based in Spanish cuisine, the menu has a solid array of seafood options with a few meats thrown in the mix. The burger is well known but not my favorite, the texture of the meat is slightly gamey and with the anchovies it’s approaching over salted. The staples of the menu are strong including the skate fillet and the roasted chicken. The small plates get seasonal refreshes. During this visit the beefsteak tomato salad was beautiful with a surprising spice and the pea shoots were refreshing with a kick of acid at the end. Dessert here could be stronger and feels like an afterthought. The flan is good but doesn’t frequently get updates and the cake is usually not great. I wish things got updated more frequently here but the food never disappoints.

My partner and I visited Cervos for the last dinner of our trip to NYC. Overall we enjoyed dinner but it probably wouldn’t be somewhere we would recommend/return. We ordered the prawns and clams for starter but unfortunately they forgot our clams. We also ordered the sourdough but that was pretty dry and clearly had been cut hours ago. We ordered the skate and chicken for main. The skate was ok but not something we would order again. The chicken was amazing and probably one of the best chicken dishes of this type we have ever had, was really really delicious. The waiting staff were great when our dishes were forgotten (/generally) we were offered a glass of wine on the house. Being sat on the “chef table” whilst sounded good was pretty awkward/weird when the chef asked us to move, through the waitress, as we had been sat too close to the serving spot. Overall the restaurant had a good vibe but would not recommend sitting on the counter by the chefs.

The food and service were i really wanted to try their prawn head but the menu has changed. A lot of food were sour but right level of sourness. This is a perfect date spot. Piri piri chicken and croquettes were mediocre tbh but other seafood options were amazing

Mostly tapas, mostly seafood, decent wine selection, dimes square vibes.
One dessert is a combo of basque cheesecake and flan and it is super good.

It has the casual dining and wine-bar vibe that captures the spirit of Spain and Portugal.
The place is livelier at night than during the day, making it great for grabbing drinks with friends or enjoying a meal with wine.

First time at Cervo’s this past Sunday and it was a wonderful and memorable time. My friend and I got to sit at the Bar and Zane made the best recommendations and was so lovely.
I loved the Mezcal Martinez – it is a perfect drink for the cooler fall weather and every dish was stupid good and so flavorful.
The clams are a must, the spinach and mussels were perfect and you will want to order extra bread to soak up every drop of sauce (Zane’s pro recommendation) , the yellowfin tuna- melt in your mouth mind blowing, and the blackfish was gorg.
I don’t get to ball out a lot but this night was such a treat in a beautiful atmosphere with lovely, kind and knowledgeable service. Thank you so much to everyone at Cervo’s for such a sweet experience.

Vermouth service was quite good especially for $10-12. Crispy shrimp heads ($10) and skate wing ($31) were excellent.
Beefsteak tomatoes with salt cod was solid but probably would want to try other dishes.

Do yourself a favor and make reservation. An ideal small place with consistently good food. Don’t forget to order fried heads of prawns. Lamb burger with anchovies is a must. Every portion of French fries is tested, literally.

I finally crossed this place off the bucket list after going here the other day with my wife for dinner. Everything about this restaurant is cool: the space, the ambience, the staff and the food. Everything we ate was delicious, unpretentious and cooked simply to highlight the quality of the ingredients. I can’t wait to go back!
