1 Reason to go to BUCEO 95...

Hello Foodies!

It's really yummy! You'll be delighted by the selection of sophisticated and delicious tapas matched with a pleasing and affordable wine list. We never made it past the cava!

Courtney and Jim - the owners of Buceo 95 are delightful and enthusiastic about their chef, their food, and their new venture on the Upper Westside.

We recommend everything we ate ...
  • Patatas Bravas are crispy, spicy, and not soggy from drowning in the aioli (I hate it when that happens).
  • Beets Y Valdeon is a grand combination of beets and blue cheese with the greens thankfully, not forgotten!
  • Fried Mussels are crispy and plentiful otherwise there will be fighting at the table.
  • Albondigas Con Pimienton Sofrito - besides being my favorite word in Spanish to say - these albondigas are my new fave dish! We found out that this is the dish the chef, Brian Parks, was hired for - there's no turning back now. The chef comes from Casa Mono.
  • Churrasco Con Salsa Verde is a skirt steak with green sauce that melts in your mouth
We celebrated a special occasion here but if the food is always this good, it's always a special occasion at Buceo 95. We had minor nits - the bread could have been better and our waiter did not know how to sell the food as expertly as the owner did. Another friend had the same complaint (re: waiter) but that's not keeping us away. Truthfully, there's probably no bad choice on this menu. You Upper Westsiders are lucky to have this restaurant in the neighborhood!

the Forks
