What People Say

Guests rave about the “beautiful interior” and “impeccable service,” with many praising the tapas-style dishes as “bold, fresh, and flavorful.” The diverse menu—featuring everything from lamb meatballs to charred octopus—gets high marks for creativity and execution. Many reviewers also mention the “great wine and cocktail selection,” perfect for toasting a night out. It's often described as a “hidden gem” in Midtown, ideal for both relaxing and celebrating.

Areas for Improvement

While most diners have a great experience, some note that the small-plate format isn’t ideal if you’re looking for a big, hearty meal. A few also mentioned that it can get a bit busy during peak hours—so reservations are a smart move if you’re on a schedule before a show.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for stylish, shareable dining just minutes from NYC’s top music venues, Harta delivers on flavor, atmosphere, and convenience.
