Charming
Great for happy hour
Neighbourhood gem

Inspired by the Japanese Bonsai Tree which is a miniature tree cultivated to resemble nature in a modest space and nurtured with artistic interaction, Bonsaii Tapas & Wine Bar is the ultimate representation of its namesake.
Our cuisine is inspired in International tapas, where everybody will feel welcomed and find something of their taste, putting spin on classic dishes and bringing creative new ones. Our "Secret Garden" is the perfect hidden gem in Midtown East for finding calm in the stress and noise from the city , located walking distance to Central Park and Bloomingdale's and in between some of the most popular avenues (Lexington Ave and Park Ave).

It was great! We were skeptical first. We have high expectations for New York and when we noticed it was inside a Hotel, we were nervous. Decided to give it a try and so happy we did. The ceviche and octopus were delicious, but what made this the best was the service we received. Dario was amazing and kind to us. They are very lucky to have him there. All and all a great experience!

4 women friends had lunch here the other day and will definitely be going back. The food selections were varied and delicious. Pricing was reasonable. The Secret Garden is a small, intimate space but felt spacious due to the lightning and the atmosphere of ... well, being in a garden. The service was friendly and attentive.

Small clean place inside a hotel. It’s not to loud and you can have a decent conversation. The presentation of the food and drinks are on point. The food taste like what it should. We got the guacamole, tortilla espanola, and the baby back ribs with orange barbecue sauce. Was glad the sauce on the ribs wasn’t overpowering sweet. It was just the right amount. It’s a nice place for brunch and the place does take card.

Lovely small restaurant inside hotel. Noise level is good for conversations. Seemed to be a spot for hotel guests and tourists. I would suggest other locations but if in time crunch or need a lunch spot in that area this works! Good variety of food on menu.
