The food was excellent. Especially the sangria the restaurant makes that you have to try. It’s my favorite. My family ordered the lamb, sopa gallega, autumn salad, chicken dish, veal and I paella marinera. It was a birthday dinner celebration which my mother loved her food and dessert along with the waiters, the family and the rest of the people eating in the restaurant joining in the singing of happy birthday. Thank you Marbella!

Ernesto’s is a wonderful spot. Authentically both Basque and Lower East Side, it was truly soulful and differentiated in a too often homogenized world. Delicious and interesting food, an incredibly deep and educational Spanish wine list, and friendly, knowledgeable service to guide diners along the way. Very grateful to have dined here.
