Socarrat Paella Bar - Chelsea Introduce

Located in the heart of Chelsea, Socarrat Paella Bar offers New Yorkers a vibrant and authentic taste of Spain.

I went to dinner for restaurant week with my parents and we had a delightful evening! Delicious tapas, and the paella was delicious! My mom and I couldn’t eat shrimp and the staff was nice enough to keep the shrimp on the side and make a separate broth to cook the paella so that my mom and I can enjoy it and my dad was able to eat the shrimp! He said it was spectacular! We definitely would love to come again and try something else on the menu next time!

We had an amazing experience at Socarrat! Everything—from the food to the drinks, music, and service—was fantastic. Our server, Andreu, was so nice and attentive, and he recommended one of the best desserts we’ve ever had.We highly recommend placing your tapas and paella order together since paella takes a while to cook. While waiting for our Socarrat, we enjoyed Pan con Tomate and Croquetas, both of which were delicious—we only wished we had second stomachs to order more!For drinks, the Red Sangria was fantastic, and we also tried the Vino Tinto de Verano, though we personally would’ve liked it a bit sweeter. The highlight of the night was dessert—thanks to Andreu’s suggestion, we had the Torrijas, a caramelized brioche French toast with a citrus-infused milk, crispy edges, and warm, gooey goodness, perfectly paired with vanilla ice cream.The music selection was great, and the lively staff singing along added to the fun atmosphere. The space and tables were a bit small, especially when ordering a lot of tapas and paella, but the cozy and vibrant ambiance made up for it.Highly recommend this spot—can’t wait to come back!

I came here for a couple of times with friends and family, and we came from Jersey. I absolutely love this place, food is authentic and delicious. Staffs are friendly, especially my server Diego A. he was very welcoming and experienced. Not to mention, the reception lady was very nice too. Will be back soon!

Another location of this Paella known for their caramelized bottom rice. Much easier to talk without the live flamenco performance of nolita location lol. Paellas were well made, white fish still tender and flaky only with rice was burnt a little bit more. Liked the charcuterie board and croquettes, flan excellent with abundant sauce. Waiters helps scrape clean the paellas towards the end.

Having been to Madrid for paella Valenciana (and some extraordinary roasted suckling lamb!!) in April, NYC is much more convenient for Spanish fare. Definitely not a connoisseur of Spanish food by any means, but the flavors here were good and everything was fresh. We had the fried chorizo potato balls and also a charcuterie platter of jamon, manchega, almonds, olives, chorizo, and tomato toast appetizer. The jamon here isn't the complex, dark scarlet "iberico", variety, but more like a pale pink prosciutto. Still flavorful, but not deeply umami like in Spain. The house "Soccarat" paella was fresh, but the soccarat pieces were too hard, akin to little salty pebbles, for our pallets. Again, we're not paella experts, but the dish was rich and the ingredients were fresh. We didn't finish the paella, but took it home and added a cup of plain water to reheat it the next day, transforming the leftovers into something entirely different and quite wonderful. Service was also good, quiet Sunday night, plenty of the high-top tables were available upon arriving for our 8pm reservation. 2 appetizers, paella for 2, a flan and some warm churros with chocolate dip for dessert, a glass of wine and a drink, about $150 all in, very fairly priced for NYC.
