Very very satisfied with what I had and it’s not the first that I’ve been there. I’d love to go there often and i definitely would recommend this place to my friends. So why don’t you try it! 😍🥰☺️

Have a great time. It’s authentic spanish foods. I ordered paella and some of tapas. Paella was awesome! Beers and water all from spain. Feel like real spain taste. Absolutely should come back!

There were two things that stood out for us tonight. The paella and octopus tonight, thus far, was the best we’ve had in the city for Spanish cuisines. Note that there are 3 locations, and we visited the Chelsea location. If you’re in the mood for Spanish paellas and you’re around the area, definitely don’t hesitate to try this place out.

Amazing food, as at all branches, both paella and tapas. The restaurant menu is a really good deal, strongly recommend.

We had fabulous service. Food was good, but was a bit disappointed with seafood paella. It needed more variety and, well more seafood. Rice was not as crispy as Ive had other places. The cocktails were wonderful. And the service was terrific. I cannot say enough about our server and bartender--they were great!

The food was delicious! Love the back courtyard & the service was above & beyond. Had the seafood paella & shared with two friends, each received a generous portion. The mussels appetizer was very good, was hoping for more broth, but they were tasty nonetheless. Seemed as though all the guests at the other tables were really enjoying themselves as well.

ProsDecent back yard sittings with heaters. (Ceiling is covered - not enough ventilation).Food is good.Staffs are nice.ConsOver capacity (didn’t feel comfortable. In fact scary with all people off mask talking a lot)Heaters are off in 1.5hours and we had to request to turn back on.

Love their brunch and bottomless sangria. The tapas are real good too, Id recommend the octopus and garlic shrimps.

As a Spanish I was really excited about this place and it was...just average. We ordered like 6 tapas and they were ok but absolutely nothing special. About paellas, we tried two different ones and first, they needed salt. Also, you can’t just do a very very thin layer of rice and call that socarrat, socarrat is something refine and amazing and this was not.

We visited Socarrat because a friend highly recommended it . Between the two of us, we ordered an appetizer (the scallops) and a paella (socarrat) and overall really liked both! The scallops were perfectly cooked and the iberico was nicely chewy. Very well seasoned. I havent had really good paella before so cant compare to anything traditional but loved the texture of the rice, the fluffiness of the top against the crunchiness of the bottom layer. The only downside was that some of the seafood in the rice wasnt seasoned (no salt) and it took away from how good everything else was. Overall a great experience though, would definitely love to return here

Good food. Great space. Good service. Vegetarian option

Chance find and loved it... beautiful backyard, open space and Covid compliant with social distancing.They have great spread of tapas and mains.No prize for guessing we started with a pitcher of red wine sangria.. I dont think a Spanish restaurant can go wrong with that. Croquettes and patata bravas perfectly complemented the sangria.My absolute favorite was sizzling shrimps in garlic and olive oil, dont miss it if you love sea food.Spanish omlette was fine too..For mains we ordered vegeterian Paella; it was an absolute visual delight with burst of colors, though I am not into vegetarian paella (ordered it as we were splitting this amongst party of three, one of who was a vegeterian).Be careful while ordering paella, the menu mentions as paella for party of 2 but they charge you for two portions.. we had a major bump in our bill due to that.I would rate our server 3 out of 5. He was friendly at first however started acting a bit irritable towards the end coz after 1.5 hrs mark we still wanted to order our dessert.Again my point is you need not be in service industry if you have problem being patient. But well we cant solve that issue here.We ended our afternoon with delicious chocolate based dessert and warm coffee.I would definitely like to visit their restaurant at other location on the east side.

The meat paella is incredible. Great food, great service. Can’t wait to go back!

Great Spanish restaurant in the heart of Manhattan! Great atmosphere, authentic Valencian Paella, and cozy patio with flowers!

We had reservations for 8pm and the sitting was horrible. They wanted to sit us by the bathrooms lol. The food was super horrible, it tasted really bad. Our bill was $240 and we only ate two plates and had a sangria. I will never go to this over priced restaurant.

Had our nieces graduation celebration here yesterday and it was perfection! Excellant food, excellent atmosphere and Diego our server along with his awesomely helpful coworkers treated us like gold! It was just a wonderful event to begin to come out of this pandemic and start living again! Everything was delicious but the brussel sprouts were on another level of amazing!

Delicious authentic food and looking at another table, the Paella looks delicious and want to check it out next time!

Good food with friends. Paella is made to share. Good stuff

Decent paella but the scallop had a really weird taste/smell. The cast iron looks big but is actually pretty shallow.

We made a reservation at 915 on open table. When we arrived before being greeted with a hello the staff told us that the restaurant closes at 10pm and we need to order fast. Once we sat down we were told we couldn’t order some things on the menu because they were closing in 45min. Don’t let people make reservations later if you’re not going to provide a full service menu. Food was great but because of the customer service we won’t be back.

Beautiful place although I had to dine outside other than that the food was fresh very lite you wont feel heavy when your done eating the service was great and the general crowd was decent a great place for a date or family night also thr brussel sprouts are amazing

Came here craving some authentic Spanish paella… boy was I disappointed. Probably one of the worst meat paellas I have ever had! Stars are for the decent sangria!

Great service and delicious food! I have no had better paella! In particular, the staff is so kind and accommodating: it was pouring rain that day and my friends got wet, so they were given bags for their wet clothes and extra napkins to dry off.

A tast of Valecia Spain in the hart of NYC. We loved the Tapas and the Paella.Dont miss the Sangeria with the great foods.Highly recomended.

Best paella I have ever tried. The flavor of each of the components is balance. Nothing too overpowering, which is great.

Excellent service, cozy indoor space (seating a little cramped as theyve split their 4-top high top into two with a clear divider so youre literally sitting next to another couple). Food was fantastic. My bf and I ordered the bacon wrapped dates (my fave), mushroom croquettes (yummy), scallops with Iberian ham (scallops cooked to perfection and ham had just the right amount of fat), bread with tomatoes (needed salt but nicely toasted), meatballs (savory and soft), and lastly the meat paella. I havent had a traditional paella in years and this one did not disappoint. We asked for it well done in order to have more crispiness, depth, and flavor to the dish and boy was it amazing. We ate every single thing brought to our table. After devouring our meal we ordered dessert - flan and churros. Flan was creamy and chirros tasted fresh and crispy. Will definitely be back!

Datilles are little parcels of joy and the paella doesnt miss a beat! All the tapas are perfect. The staff rock and you will leave so happy. Dont miss this place and if you can make their happy hour its half price drinks and tapas!

Food and sangría were great, but broken A/C made for an uncomfortable evening.

A smaller Socarrat, but offers the same outstanding service and food as the others. The bar is beautiful with several seats where you can eat or drink. The paella’s are delicious and their presentations are gorgeous. Def recommend!

Was here to celebrate my nieces graduation. Ambiance and service was wonderful. Food and drinks were authentic and flavorful. Had a wonderful Bacon, egg and cheese paella. I will be back to try all the other paellas as well.

The best paella in the city, hands down! Their wine menu is true to the theme of the place, with great Riojas and Rivera del Duero selections, and the cocktails are hand-made on the spot (no pre-mixed stuff!). It is very popular, we got lucky without a reservation, call ahead!

Shrimp in paella was completely rotten. Had vile powdery texture. Other seafood in it wasnt that fresh either and it wasnt even well seasoned. They make it look pretty but it doesnt taste great. Also, the pan de tomate, which is such a simple recipe had a very rancid taste. Overall it was highly disappointing and quite gross with all the rotting ingredients they use to save money while halfway poisoning diners. Do not attempt. There are plenty of paella places that actually have integrity and self respect in how and what they serve people paying their hard earned money!

Loved the little patio seating with the heaters on especially for a chilly Saturday night. The tapas items were amazing, especially the shrimp! Was quite disappointed by the vegetarian paella as it was burnt, hard, and chewy to the bite. We went off the suggestion of our server who insisted on getting the paella as it was their signature dish...better luck next time? Definitely won’t come back for the paella but the tapas, service, and vibe was on point!

Cozy atmosphere, great place to hang out with friends. Staffs were friendly and attentive. You may have to share the table if you’re setting on one of the long narrow ones. Drinks were great, presentation of the food were excellent, but somewhat pricey. The Paella were good but the seafood weren’t as fresh as we liked.

Paella 2 of 5Octopus 4 of 5Dessert 5 of 5

Love their paella and all locations! Great staff. Garden area in the back is relaxing, but chairs there aren’t the comfiest.

Thought the food was good, but a bit on the pricier end. Also, the server recommended lots of dishes, noting that the three of us will easily be able to finish the food but that wasn’t the case. I honestly don’t like when that happens so giving this place a 3 star at best.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Good, lively restaurant for groups. We had the Soccarat paella with mushroom sofrito for 2 and it was superb! The cheese board was varied and very tasty. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Fabulous and delicious 😋, great service. food and drinks. are a bomb 1000% recommend

Good atmosphere and service is great.

The food was delicious and the service very very very good, its a must to go place!!

Terrible dining experience. The rice was super sweet, the seafood had no seasoning, and there was no socarrat.

Loved the food! The Paella was absolutely phenomenal and the dessert and cappuccino was delicious - Our waiter was Andreas. He was fantastic 🙌🏾

Perhaps the best paella in town. Ive been to this place many times and every time they deliver amazing paella with great socarrat. The only downside about this place is that its so cramped that diners and servers have to brush/squeeze by your seat, and it takes away from the meal a bit.

Very intimate restaurant. The food was excellent and excellent staff. Soccarrat paella is authentic, I definitely will go again.

Great atmosphere. Their restroom was so clean and cozy. The food was not bad but a little bit expensive.

Great Paellas! Namesake dish delivered. We had the meat lovers version along with a long list of appetizers - quantities are on the smaller side so definitely aim to have 1.5-2x appetizers for the party size.The Covid backyard setup works well, and make no mistake, its still cold and a draft comes through easily, but the heaters all around help. Dress for the cold!Will have to come back to try the Squid ink Paella 🥘

Great food

This place is amazing. The food it great and the drinks are strong. The paella is fantastic. Ill be back here! The service is also in point.

Squid ink paella was fantastic, good tartare, and they gave us homemade almond ice cream which was absolutely fantastic. Leisurely service and friendly waiters.Edit: came back a second time with friends to try more paellas. Squid ink still best, but one with chicken and seafood was also great. We also got one which was kind of like hash browns instead of rice, not a huge fan but was still ok. Friends loved the croquettes, got two rounds. The octopus was great — one large piece cooked soft and tasty, with a center of mashed potato. Bacon wrapped figs were also yummy.

A Spanish bar that has good vibes in the air. The actual bar area is a little tight in space, but that is NYC for you. Also, the staff are really funny.

Two stars for the service. The food unfortunately was not great. The portions were big - but the layer of rice was spread so thin and seemed... old. The food was served warm not hot - which makes me think it was pre-made & ready to serve. I really wanted to love the place, but the food was just not that good :( Oh and the lobster was not cleaned properly so it was served with green and black guts which spilled into the paella. Very unfortunate.

I’ve been here many many times but not since the the new outdoor dining restrictions have been put in place because of COVID. We sat in the back garden area and let me tell you on a 30 degree night I was SO warm and cozy. I was able to take off my jacket and really enjoy dinner while still being safe, it was amazing! Food and service was great as always. But just wanted to jump on here and confirm that the heated patio is in fact very heated and warm! great job!!

Really amazing happy hour!!!

The food was reasonably good, definitely not the best paella I have ever had. The place is small and the outside seating is downright torturously hot for lunch.

Friendly staff and great background music! We started off with two appetizers, shrimp and croquettes. Both are excellent starters. The croquettes were smooth and creamy inside. The paella is meant for two and it’s a big dish! We got the paella socarrat and it was loaded with seafood. Great crispy edges too.

This place has the best paellas!! Highly recommend!

Best paella in NYC!! Place is almost always packed so make a reservation before you go.

Well established restaurant and bar. This is the perfect place for a date night. Full of energy, but just shy of being loud.Met some friends out and we ate at the bar. They had the black paella and lots of drinks. I arrived late so I just had the Calamares and a Strawberry Fields cocktail. The staff was wonderful and super knowledgeable about more than just cocktails but the over history of the restaurant.

Love this place. Excellent food, lovely atmosphere!

I love Spanish food, especially Tapas and Paella. While my mother was visiting us, she wanted to get some good paella. Who can blame her? There has been this Paella Bar that I have been wanting to go to, so we decided to go during the week day lunch, when it should be rather slow.The inside was very narrow and long, and have window at the front entrance and all the way back. The rest was lit with rather dimmed lights, creating cozy, romantic, and somewhat warm atmosphere. I liked how the interior had that rustic, antique look to it with red brick wall and dark furniture.We heard that the paella is not that huge in portion, so we decided to order a sandwich in addition to paella. We chose Steak Sandwich. The sandwich was bigger than we expected. The steak was cooked really well, soft, juicy, and packed with flavor. I didn’t have too much of expectation for the sandwich, but it turned out pretty great.Now, the paella. They have eight kinds of paella to choose from. Yes, I said it right, EIGHT!!!! No wonder they call themselves the “Paella Bar” with that many selection. We went with Pescados y Mariscos, which comes with shrimp, scallops, squid, mussels, cockles, white fish, and English peas. It was brought to our table in a piping hot pan, which was awesome. They were right about the amount, it was smaller portion than I thought it would be. They do not do mountain of paella, but they do quality paella.When we were getting to the bottom of the pan, the waitress came back (as promised she would), and scraped off all the crispy rice on the bottom for us. We always loved the little burned rice on the bottom, so we were excited… And it was so delicious!!! We were very happy with our food, it was really tasty and and the staffs were all friendly. I would definitely go back again for more paella! Read my full review of the restaurant and food on my food blog, foodlovergirl.

The bill was way off of our guesses but didn’t feel bad about paying the amount (ok, maybe a little!) since everything from the ambiance to the service to ofcourse the delicious food to our experience was a solid 5! This place definitely deserves it!

I came here during restaurant week and had a great time! The food especially the paella was delicious! The service was friendly and attentive, i was very satisfied and recommend this location!

Paella made while you wait. Comes in its own paella pan. When paired with their own sangria, youre transported to Spain. Lovely.

A pretentious place that serves average paella. $100 on a paella for two. Received one shelled lobster you have to pick apart for meat. Components were under seasoned and shrimp over cooked. Half the paella had a burnt crust, the other no crust at all.

The food here is soooooooooo good. The paella is really good. We had the seafood paella, tortillas, chorizo. They have a good choice of drinks too. A little pricey, but that is to be expected from most places around here.

Forgot the name of the waitress but she was great. Great wine recommendation and helped us get a little Spain back home.

I went to Socarrat Paella bar for bottomless brunch and it was such a great experience !1. Food- delicious ! I had a party of 10 and the family style for the tapas was the right amount of food for everyone. We also enjoyed the entree we got to choose from the menu2. Drinks- We had the option to choose between mimosa or sangria. Both options were amazing and our waiter never let our glasses go empty !!3. Ambiance/Seating- we visited the restaurant during the middle of Covid/ban of indoor dining/ and winter! Eduardo made sure to keep us all warm and happy in the midst of everything! His outdoor seating had the perfect amount of heaters. My friends and I never felt cold! Eduardo also had a beautiful set up in the garden area and I felt safe with all the regulations he has in place for Covid.I highly recommend going here if you’re looking for a great time ! Everything was amazing and I cannot wait to come back!

The service is super good, I didnt have time to eat because we had to leaved, parent duties. But I heard a lot of good things about this place. I cant wait to go and enjoy the paella 🤤

Pincho de pollo tapas had a tasty mushroom and veggies and tender, nicely cooked chicken. Pescado y marisco paella was a perfect portion for two and tasted natural and fresh, delicious. Good drinks. Excellent, very attentive customer service. Reasonable wait and spacious outdoor seating.

This place was amazing i was blown away! the food was outstanding and so were the drinks and service. will definitely be going back. great /warm outdoor seating as well.

Great meal with a dear friend. Forgot it was Restaurant Week. So much food.

Cute tapas spot, they have another location on the east side which I prefer. I would recommend coming in during happy hour since they have really good food and wine specials. Love the bacon wrapped dates!

Great food great service great when you want something different

This is my go-to paella spot in the neighborhood.

Food is delicious. Great customer service.

Stylish Brick walled place with some authentic, delicious paella! One of the nicer Spanish restaurants in Manhattan.

First time and really enjoyed it. Every dish was amazing and the sangria was light and refreshing. Super delicious!

The food is pretty good, but portions are a bit bigger than typical tapas and paella. I only wish I was told beforehand, so I wouldnt order more than my party could finish as its a bit of a pricy place - $280 for four people and only one drink was ordered.

The food was amazing! the paella socarrat was better than the paella I had in Barcelona. the sizzling shrimp and fried artichokes were also very tasty. service was great as well. my only complaint is that the tables are all bar height and the accompanying stools dont have backs. come on socarrat, some of us need the back support! if not for the seating I would have given 5/5

I’m so extremely happy I found this place. Awesome food, great host, and good service. The food seems authentic. Lot of good choices for tapas. An absolute must!

Definitely the best paellas in NYC, a true Spanish experience

Friendly staff. Delicious food.

Great place for tapas and paella!

Absolutely amazing service, the staff was so thoughtful and cared about your overall dining experience. The food was incredible with a specific mention to the arancini balls which literally melted in your mouth. Highly recommend this restaurant! Great outdoor dining areas and perfect atmosphere for any occasion. I cant wait to go back in the future!

We have been coming here for over 10 years and the food is consistently spectacular every single time.

Their take on some of the dishes Im used to ordering at other spanish tapas locations was different but good different. Just be prepared to try something new.

Awesome food,service beutiful restaurant!

I went there two years ago and was amazingly able to find out the name of that little bar today thanks to the searching power of google maps. I remember that their paella was decent and very large in portion (2 persons can barely finish if they don’t order anything else). Their octopus was more underwhelming. Overall not bad though

Best paella and Spanish tapas in New York by far.

One of my favorite Spanish restaurant. Love how cozy it is. Its perfect for a date night. Food is incredible

The steak was cooked really well, soft, juicy, and packed with flavor.

Wonderful paella in a nice setting

Great service. They accommodated our very late arrival which i appreciate greatly. The lobster paella was not very flavorful. I would recommend that people try the other plates that were offered

Great Paella and service. Would return again. The squid ink paella was our favorite.

Outdoor dining in cozy backyard, heaters were good, the whole set up made me reconsider outdoor dining during winter. Food was on point

Me and my boyfriend were so excited to see Soccarat participating in NYC restaurant week 2021. We ordered our favorite paella dishes from Uber Eats this evening and after an hour and half later we still have not received the order. The owner who picked up the phone claimed that the delivery guy had already picked up the food and was on his way, and hung up abruptly. We patiently waited but still there was no update on our delivery after. I tried calling back, the restaurant didn’t pickup their phone. (I guess they closed early?) We were able to get a refund from the Uber Eats app eventually, but I hate to say we were extremely disappointed with the experience here at our favorite restaurant. I don’t think I’ll be ordering from this place again despite the fact that it is during hard times and we wanted to support our favorite restaurant.

Best paella you can have in Chelsea!

Their paella was amazing.

Paella portions are filling for 2. Octopus appetizer was delicious.
