About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Charming
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).

    Felt like a hidden gem in midtown. Great place if you are looking for a quiet table to have a drink, delicious small plates, and space to have a conversation without the din of restaurant noise. Lovely atmosphere and service.

    I went to this restaurant for a friend’s birthday lunch. When I requested a candle for the dessert, the staff kindly prepared a sparkler instead. The food was delicious, and the service was friendly and attentive. This is definitely one of the restaurants I would love to visit again.
