The food was delicious. It's our go to when in the mood for tapas! The drinks are inventive without being off-putting. The bartender was happy to share his knowledge with us so we could learn more about the drink offerings. We had the La Puerto Rojas (gin) and the Grandpa's Flask (rye). They were just right. The tapas are so good. We especially loved the shrimp, the potatoes, the lamb chops and the best bacon wrapped dates. A great way to celebrate Christmas Eve. But we'll return very soon.

If I could give a restaurant 10 stars, it would be Mercat a la Planxa. We have never had so much fun eating dinner. The service was incredible. The food was amazing!!! Everything we ordered was delicious! We ordered the Traditional Experience Menu. It came with a little bit of everything. You paid the same price person. It was worth every penny. We left full and happy. (Note: Be sure to look at all my pics to see what we ate.)

We tried both the chef experience menu and the paella and found stuffed to the brim with delicious tapas dinner! The place was beautifully decorated, not too crowded, and service was good. We tried a plethora of dishes: - paella de mariscos (small): big and filing, strong tomato flavor filled with seafood and charred artichoke, seafood were plump and delicious - pan con tomate: bold tomato flavor, a bit salty - jamon serrano: delicious, deep taste - ensalada de tomaquet: the sweetest cherry tomatoes - croqueta de pollo: okay - pulpi a la planxa: soft and flavorful octopus - mejillones: the mussels were absolutely delicious and the sauce is perfect to soak up the bread and enjoyed to the last bite - secreto: the jam is brilliant and sweet yet the perfect pairing to the soft smoke pork, definitely highlight of the meal - esparagos: addictive, i would eat more veggies if all veggies dish r like this - cordero: tender juicy lamb, also absolutely delicious - cheese cake for dessert: okay The jam, mussel, pork and lamb were on point and the highlight of the dinner. If there’s a weak point, it’s likely dessert. This is an absolutely enjoyable place! I hope they’ll bring their happy hour back!

Large Spanish restaurant with good ambience and service. The taps are made to order and delicious. The patatas bravas are nicely spiced as is the gambas al ajillo - make sure to get the bread to dip in the garlic sauce! The sangria is OK, no fruit that is found in a typical sangria. The Paella is a nice dish but could have used a bit more added flavor.

Wonderful tapas! Enjoyed everything from olivas, to pan con tomate, and the brocolini were amazing! Service was superb and the dining area was magical! Go by yourself, with a special person, or a small group - all would feel welcome! Enjoy!

Lovely! Birthday dinner, greeted with glasses of sparkling Cava. We chose to dine in the Catalan style restaurant by choosing the Authentic menu of pre-selected tapas. Bacon wrapped figs, patatas bravas, sweet potato croquettes and many other small plates. There were 3 of us dining so we ordered 2 sets of tapas. Our waiter Samuel was helpful and attentive.

Paella catalana was very good, but the croquettes stole the show. The small paella is big enough for two and their tapas are pretty generous in size. Overall it's a good restaurant for a hotel.

This was one of the better meals we have had in a long time. Every course was phenomenal, but the sliced pork, Octopus, Serrano Ham, and the cheesecake were highlights. The service itself was top level. My wife and I drink a ton of water and usually sit with empty glasses at most places. However, we never were even able to get under a quarter full without someone at our table with water. They grabbed the dishes in perfect timing and always wiped up the table and provided new silverware. Overall, we HIGHLY recommend this restaurant and will definitely be back.

Mercat a La Planxa is a Catalonian-inspired restaurant hidden off the lobby in the Blackstone Hotel. It is a very dramatic room. They offer a quite adequate Spanish wine list. We enjoyed the Pulpo a La Planxa tapas, and the Paella de Mariscos was absolutely delicious. Antonio insured all our needs were professionally met. We highly recommend this restaurant.

Went there to celebrate a birthday. The waiter tried to push meat on us when we were already spending a ton of money and we order other meat items. The sangria pitcher was like half full when it came to the table as the cups with a ton of ice were already full. Not really a discount as the cost of 4-5 individual bought cups was the same as the 4-5 glasses we got out of the pitcher… it was tasty though, just not a bargain like pitchers are supposed to be. The food flavor profiles were pretty good. We like the tomato and the tomato and prosciutto bread the most. It’s a fun experience, but I think we’d try a different tapas place in the future… The churros were good, but the cheesecake—sold as the best cheesecake ever—was burnt and fluffy—NOT GOOD!

Great little spot if you are staying at the Blackstone. Good breakfast and I recommend the eggs Benedict.

Had brunch before a musical matinee. Was pleasantly surprised with the food, service & atmosphere. Will definitely go back for the burger with an amazing bacon jam topping.

Last visited in May...significant improvement since then. Chris, our server, Caesar, doubling as server and bus-person, and Chef Nick were at the top if their game on Christmas Eve. We shall return!
