La Gran Uruguaya Restaurant

The service is fine, though most of the waitresses don't speak English. And It is not right that they don’t inform that they will automatically deduct a substantial tip from your credit card if your bill exceeds $50. There were only two of us, and we intended to leave cash tip, however, they had already deducted the tip automatically, and on top of that, they asked for an additional cash tip as a gesture of appreciation. The food was average nothing special, but the food is not worth it, it’s too expensive.

One of our favorite places in NYC. 🗽🍎 The food is excellent and very good quality. 😋🌟 The ambiance and splendid service are quite unique. ✨💖

Delicious, decadent pastries. The cakes are beautiful and desserts were yummy, lots of caramel

Always a pleasant experience when I come eat here with my husband. The waitstaff are friendly and provide great service. Food is phenomenal and large quantities.

Good Experience, Just Not My Taste<br><br>I had a nice time trying La Uruguaya Restaurant—it’s always good to explore new flavors. I ordered the chicken breast, but the taste of wine in it was a bit strong for me. It was okay overall, just not something I personally loved.<br><br>That said, the tostones were amazing—huge and crispy! I loved them so much, now I want to learn how to make them that big at home 😂.<br><br>The service was alright. It seemed like there were only 2 or 3 people working, so things moved a bit slow, and they forgot a couple of important things during the meal. But they were nice, and I appreciated the effort.<br><br>If you’re into trying different styles of Latin food, I’d still say give it a shot!

Great. Enjoyed it. Nice bartenders. Cocktails were a little pricey but worth it for the experience. Nice ambiance as well.

Been coming here since I was a kid. I absolutely love this place. I've been away from the city for years, and it's just as I remember it. The nostalgia is palpable. Thanks for making my trip back home a memorable one.

Clean and spacious interior with a simple layout, bar situated on the left side as we entered.<br><br>We were greeted warmly and promptly seated by Fabian.<br><br>Folks craving seafood have come to the right place. Warm bread with butter to start.<br><br>We tried Sea Bass and Paella for one. Paella is packed to the brim with shrimps, clams, mussels, squid and fish. Delicious!<br>Sea Bass was a bit salty but Fabian and Paola took steps to resolve immediately. Fine examples of customer service culture, really appreciate and very grateful!!<br><br>Highly recommended and we will come back for more!

I went with my family for the second time to celebrate a couple of birthdays. At the beginning the service was excellent, they took care of us and after singing happy birthday they kept asking if we wanted more pitchers of sangria, we said no thanks and from there their attention changed a little bit. They stopped going to our table to see if we needed anything else.<br>It was ok so far but when we get the check. We noticed some extra charges. 🤔<br>We were embarrassed to ask but we did anyway because we didn't order coffee or vodka shots.<br>They updated our bill but it was wrong to do that.<br>The food was excellent tho ... 😋but I don't think we will come back. At least not with my family, they deserve better experiences.

We received catered food from this restaurant and it was absolutely delicious. Wish we could’ve taken a picture before we made plates lol. We had Snapper, Steak, Paella, Vegetables, Potato Salad, Plantains and Rolls. I would love to dine there one evening.

Edit - today for my wife's birthday, we went here for her favorite alfahores de miazena<br><br>There's always a line ( don't worry it moves fast) for a reason. Their pastries are REALLY good. We always stop there when we re in the area. Sometimes we drive over just to go there.

We had invitations for a birthday and had a chance to taste several sweets from this bakery! I asked were all dessert was coming from very light not too sweets great combination of everything!<br>My favorite was this fluffy mousse, but the caramel mini cupcake the mango parfait and the coffee cake was unbelievable!<br>Next week I will definitely stop by pick up something. First I give them 5 stars.<br>Than we come back the young lady was not so friendly but that’s fine with me I ordered a tuna sandwich that was fresh and huge..<br>I shared with my friend…<br>but unfortunately the cakes had mold (2 different one ) don’t know what happened. My husband went back she changed for him for something else but after I wasn’t sure I wanna give it to my kids or my kids wanna eat that..:/ What a waste.

This bakery is a really nice feel to it. They have Great Sweet! I really like the flan cake. I also enjoy the tres leches cake. This bakery has been here for a long time and I can understand why. Unfortunately it's only a cash establishment so you better have your cash on you.

Amazing food! I always return for the Bandeja paisa, Rainbow cookies, and the sandwiches! Service is friendly and professional. Bilingual staff who pride in their work. Staff wear masks, cleans continuously, and practice social distancing in the dining area. Highly recommend!

Tasty bakery with friendly staff, providing service with a smile.<br>Their Tres Leches fruit cake is very good! It retains it's moisture even after a few days.
