    This restaurant was fun and welcoming. The food was different, fresh and very tasty. The staff really made us feel like they were happy we came to the restaurant. Also, it always makes me happy when I can get a nice wine by the class, which I found at Sesamo. My only negative was the noise level was quite high. Loved this Resturant and can’t wait to return

    We recently celebrated my boyfriend's birthday at Buena Vista Restaurante and had an absolutely amazing time! The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, and the service was top-notch from start to finish. The owner went out of his way to personally greet us and check in throughout the evening, which made us feel truly valued and at home. Every detail, from the delicious food to the friendly and attentive staff, made our celebration unforgettable. Highly recommend this gem for any special occasion—or just a great meal!

    Sort of shocking to find a restaurant in Manhattan this reasonably priced with this quality of creative, perfectly-executed, delicious food. The soundtrack is fantastic and played just loud enough to hear, but you can still easily hold a conversation. Servers are friendly and engaging; super attentive and jovial. Cool fifties-era decor and lots of menu variety.
