Neighborhood gem
Charming
Innovative

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).

Disappointing. With all the fabulous reviews, I did not notice any previous reviews mention that this place is outside, with only a few heat lamps for warmth. For the winter months I think this is imperative to mention. Also, they do not have a full liquor license, so all the cocktails are made with wine liquor alternatives. The food was actually fantastic - highly recommend the pesto meatballs, the sweet & sour chicken, and the patatas bravas. But really disappointed that those 2 initial items were not mentioned anywhere to plan ahead.

They forgot to bring a bunch of our food and the croissants and pancakes did not taste fresh. Only the granola and hash browns were good. They gave a free fruit bowl as compensation but the fruit was not fresh. Would not recommend

Randomly found this restaurant and cannot be happier about our experience. From the welcoming and friendly staff to the amazing food, such an unexpected surprise. My friend and I stayed until the restaurant closed and they never once made us feel rushed. Thank you for a great evening 😊

Exceptional food and adorable ambience! Our server was so genuinely happy and kind. We will definitely be back to Bonsai and might stay in the hotel next time! A little hard to find inside the Concorde hotel but certainly worth it! Fresh high quality food!!

A hip tapas and wine bar hidden in the back of a hotel. Fun takes on traditional Spanish tapas.

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!
