    I had such an amazing time at Ayza Wine Bar! The vibe was perfect for a girls’ night out – super lively yet cozy, with plenty of space for a larger group. The Chianti wine was a hit, smooth and flavorful, and we all loved the Dubai Chocolate mulled wine – it was so rich and comforting. Also we tried angry chicken lollipop & burrata which is tasty appetizers. The hot spiked apple cider was another favorite, warming us up with the perfect blend of spice. The staff was so cheerful and friendly. Service was fast and attentive. It’s definitely a great spot for hanging out with friends, and I can’t wait to go back!

    Ayza Wine & Chocolate Bar is a cozy, elegant spot perfect for wine and chocolate lovers. The atmosphere is intimate, making it ideal for a date night or a relaxed evening with friends. Their selection of wines is extensive, and the pairing with gourmet chocolates is simply delightful. Service is attentive, and the overall experience is a unique blend of indulgence and relaxation. Highly recommend for anyone looking to treat themselves to something special! The only downside is 69 dollars per person is required.

    The excellent service made for a great visit! My chocolate martini was fantastic as was the truffle served with it. I was not as impressed with the wine or the chocolate sampling flight but our server’s recommendations and courtesy would bring me back!

    Went on a Saturday afternoon with a reservation. The restaurant wasn’t very full. We opted to sit in the “patio” area. Our server was friendly!We ordered classic chocolate martini and the dark chocolate with wine flight. The chocolates were decadent, the wine just okay. Our food was very good too! We ordered a burger, omelette and the avocado fries. Everything was great. We’ll be back for sure. Definitely for the martinis and a snack!

    The atmosphere was fantastic—both cozy and cool. They offer different ambiances, and you can even enjoy your meal in a charming trolley outside. The tropical sangria and molten cake were good, but the white truffle pizza was exceptional!

    19OCT.2024 A wonderfully, AMAZING afternoon with my friend who lives in NYC(Harlem). This is an elegant, cozy, sophisticated, gorgeous,and alluring spot. This (to me) is a true gem in Manhattan. So glad my friend found this spot. Seating outdoors, beautiful orange trolley car(can be rented for special occasions),and seating indoors. Beautiful lights everywhere and the table seatings are so detail oriented and eclectic. I absolutely love it.The lights in the ceiling are that of the zodiac signs. So we’ll thought out and for sure different. Wonderful way to pay attention to lighting detail. Then evening time (on the bar) slender gold tone soft ambient lamps are put out. The best music play list has such a flow with charm of this spot.Ayza is known for their artisanal cocktails 🍸…chocolate martini is a great start, chocolate 🍫 🫕 fondue, top shelf wines, and champagnes. The customer service is superlative, totally crème de la crème(I know cream of cream…using as an idiom)the best of the best. We were greeted as soon as we walked in the entry of this outstandingly gorgeous place..so welcoming and embracing. Thank you so much for everything everyone who worked here. The customer are super friendly and wonderful.🧡🧡🍸🥂🍫Coskun, thank you so much for being so exceptionally excellent in hosting me with my birthday celebrations and my friend with her wines and chocolates tasting flights. You were so accommodating, precise, and presented every delectable, delicious, and pallet intoxicating flights in a classy, elegant, and professional way. The entire staff was a wonderful, personal, and professional which is a superb reflection of you. When I come back to NYC, I will have my friend take me here again. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you so much. This spot must stop. I know personally that you will be glad you stopped and will be a repeat customer. You’ll be so glad you you read this review.

    We celebrated my daughters 21st here. It was perfect! The staff was friendly, welcoming, and accommodating to our party of 13. The drinks were delicious, the chocolate divine! The atmosphere was festive. Everyone had a delightful time. We will return.

    My wife and I went here for date night and it was the perfect spot. The food was amazing, the staff, the location, their wines, made it a perfect romantic date night. Can’t wait to go back again!!!

    Ayza Wine & Chocolate Bar is an absolute gem in the heart of the city. This quaint restaurant offers an intimate and mellow ambience, incredible service, and many delicious and unique menu items. They offer an amazing selection of chocolate martinis that are to die for, and delicious food that will make you want to try everything on the menu. Another unique feature is the trolley parked outside that is used for outdoor seating. They also have a great happy hour special Monday to Fridays from 4 to 6. This spot will definitely become one of your favorites once you visit.

    Phenomenal wine bar! Fabulous desserts with chocolate pairings & brunch was amazing! Highly recommend! OH! And they make their own tomato juice for the Bloody Mary’s! Game changer ❤️

  • Review 11 (2023-07-31 - Rating: 4)

    One of my favorite places in midtown. The chocolate martini is Amazing! I havent had dinner there during the week but have gone a couple of times for brunch on weekends.The chicken tacos are delicious! The eggs-your-way platter (not sure of the official name) is also really good. Not sure if its available during the week. Ive also had the espresso martini. It doesnt have the chocolate shavings of the chocolate martini but was just as good. They gave us a sample of a sangria. That was the only thing that was horrible.All the servers are great! From the host to the waiters to the managers, all very polite and attentive. If you sit at the bar area by the entrance, you will freeze because the AC is on blast and blows directly down at the seats. Otherwise you can sit in the trolley which is really cute or the outdoor dining areaI do wish they were open a little earlier during the week. Id definitely get a late lunch. I have to see what weekday meals and desserts are offered and will report back. Definitely recommend!!

    Review for Ayza Wine & Chocolate BarFrom the moment we stepped into Ayza, we were captivated! The ambiance is truly enchanting, with a stunning constellations ceiling that sets the perfect mood for a memorable evening. The wine and chocolate pairing was exceptional, showcasing a delightful selection that perfectly complemented each other.We also indulged in an amazing cheese plate that was a highlight of our experience. The combination of flavors and textures was simply divine.The trolley outside added a unique touch, making our visit feel even more special.Every aspect of our experience—decor, staff, food, drinks, and service—earned a solid 5 stars. I can’t recommend Ayza enough! We can’t wait to return!

    Very Original ! I went for a drink with a friend a few weeks ago and heard about their brunch and the chocolate fondue … I had to go back and check out with my family !For an absolute full experience, we asked to be in the Trolley … an actual real one converted in a dining room !I made a reservation the day before.I suggested my husband to try the chocolate martini and he was not disappointed. I tasted it and it was very « gourmand - gourmet » 😍I had the antioxidant Margarita, one of my favorite cocktails there !We ordered a burger, a breakfast sandwich, a mushroom omelette, French toasts and to finish… the Chocolate fondue !!!I am in love with the chocolate fondue !The burger, the sandwich and the omelette came with a very much appreciated salad on the side.Rachel was our waitress and she was adorable ! She even remembered me from the other time. The rest of the team seemed very nice, one of them offered to take a picture of us…. And it’s a nice photo.I recommend !

  • Review 14 (2024-10-18 - Rating: 5)

    Situated in a fantastic location and easy to finds thanks to an REAL wagon just in front of the door. Imagine this ! Only in NYC. And what a treat! The wine and chocolate is a real experience I recommend you follow the experienced bartender to choose what goes with which. Live music and crowded with beautiful people. Now that is a place you would like to enjoy for a night out. Service is quick and professional. Food is international and do not forget to try the cocktails. You will want to come back. Enjoy

    A city tour bus parked in front, inside a stunningly decorated space with delicious flavors. The team is very professional and polite. A must-try!

  • Review 17 (2022-07-30 - Rating: 5)

    Absolutely amazing. Hazelnut chocolate martini is bigger than I thought. Definitely worth the price. The chicken wings are yummy and comes with my favorite Japanese sewed salad under!! The white truffle pizza smells great with truffle!!! And taste super yummy with proteins meat and cheese, and thin slice base. The mock tail is super pretty and only $7. And thanks for the tasting wine. Relaxed from the beginning :)Will definitely come back gain and recommend!!

  • Review 18 (2023-07-26 - Rating: 5)

    Ive gone to this place a couple of times before the pandemic and just went back again recently, and its still just as awesome. The food is great, the service is very good, and the drinks are on point. The inside is extremely small, so I was happy to see they added a covered outdoor seating area which was really nicely set up. Im looking forward to returning again.

  • Review 19 (2024-07-24 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing place to enjoy with friends or for a romantic date. Friendly and polite staff, great cocktails and exquisite chocolates. Highly recommended!

  • Review 20 (2023-10-16 - Rating: 5)

    I was introduced to this place by my coworker, and let me tell you, it’s been a staple bar of mine since. The bar is almost always free to sit, and the ambiance is so cute! It’s perfect for a night out with the girlies, or even a date night.Their chocolate martinis are a must try. They’re strong, tasty, and come with a truffle! My favorite is their raspberry chocolate martini, but they have a selection to choose from.Their food is also great as well! The chicken burrito is so good, and their fried avocado is a guilty pleasure of mine.All in all, a one stop shop for great food and drinks! Ayza has got it all!

  • Review 21 (2022-10-04 - Rating: 4)

    Fantastic dining experience at Ayza. Drinks were good and the food was served fresh. Service was a bit slow and I’m not a fan of the online only interface they have where you order everything through the QR code and really aren’t attended to. Seems to be a post-Covid theme but one I think we could all do without.The food was all fresh and tasted good, the arepas maybe a little bland but still fantastic.Definitely try the 20 layer cake.

  • Review 22 (2021-07-02 - Rating: 5)

    Simply a delight. We did brunch on a Sunday at the beginning of June, no one else there at 11am. I am a HUGE fan of fancy grilled cheeses with tomato soup/bisque to dip it in, and I LOVED this one!! Great drinks as well. Was a bit out of the way of my usual plan through an NYC vacation, but would definitely check them out if we stay in the area next time.

  • Review 23 (2021-07-08 - Rating: 5)

    I walked in this place with my two teenage girls on a cold and rainy afternoon. This was recommended by an office colleague with rave reviews. I have to admit, it is one the best places I have visited. The staff was friendly, place was clean, warm and welcoming.I wanted to try their chocolate and wine pairings but instead settled for their chocolate Manhattan cocktail. Loved it.The girls had the chocolate lave cake and the chocolate ganache. Sinful and totally heavenly.I highly recommend this place for all chocolate and wine lovers.Had an amazing time!!!

  • Review 24 (2023-04-11 - Rating: 5)

    Boyfriend and I came to NYC for the first time. Was craving chocolate and wine and found this place! Loved it!! Chocolate Martini was delicious and so was the sangria. Presentation of the food was 10/10You order and pay through an app. Fast service. Will be back if ever in NYC again!

  • Review 25 (2024-10-19 - Rating: 5)

    What an absolute gem! Discovered Ayza on a recent trip to NY and will definitely be back. The food was amazing, drinks were delicious, and the atmosphere was cosy and charming. My partner and I were very impressed by the value for money for an experience of that quality. Thank you team Ayza!

    I have been to Ayza like 20 times already and shame on me that I have not post a review yet! Drumsssss, it is my birthday today and it makes it extra meaningful to review. Food is amazing, service is flawless, staff is so sincere and drinks are yummy! Chocolates are to die for! I will probably be back before you read this but hope to dine at Ayza with you soon.

    Great food , great atmosphere me and my gf had a great time for our anniversary. I requested flowers for our table and they surprised both me and my gf with petals waiting for us. The trolley was super cool to dine in , really enjoyed all of it. I would definitely come back for a quick lunch or a grouping outing with friends.

  • Review 29 (2022-12-11 - Rating: 5)

    First, reserve your spot. Secondly, show up- if not you loose your spot and youre charged- according to their website. Its a very popular hole in the wall. However, phenomenal dessert and cocktail place with excelente service.My friends and I went as our final evening todo. We ordered dark chocolate covered strawberries, chocolate earthquake cake and the cake brulee . Each ordered a drink. Everything was top notch. Staff very friendly and very helpful. Music and atmosphere catchy.

    Great concept bar. W went for a Bday brunch and we had a great time. This place serves amazing selection of Chocolate platters. The place is beautiful, the food is delicious and the staff is friendly. 100% recommended

  • Review 31 (2021-07-07 - Rating: 4)

    Food and Drinks are delicious!! Great portions, flavor, and plate presentation. Service to me could have been a little better. Service was not bad it just seemed like no one was really happy to be there. Everything is ordered and paid for from a QR Code.

  • Review 32 (2020-03-20 - Rating: 4)

    We have been to Azyas during Valentines Weekend. They schedule Couples Night Out for weekends of February. We had reserved our table for this event. We enjoyed our time here.They had welcomed us with welcome drink - hot wine, which was our first time experience of hot wine and it was delicious. Table was decorated with rose flowers and candle light. As name suggests, wine and chocolates are their specialty. Also, they are famous for Martinis - chocolate Martini is very popular. We also ordered Pizza and Pasta, which were delicious. Their gourmet chocolates are complimentary in this event. Food was really delicious. Staff is very friendly.We totally enjoyed our time here. Totally recommend for quick bite, drinks and hangout if you are in the neighborhood.

  • Review 34 (2019-06-02 - Rating: 5)

    We stumbled upon this place when searching for a wine bar to have drinks at on a Sunday afternoon. The weather was in the low 80s so perfect for their patio. We specifically did the Milky Way chocolate and wine pairing and it was delicious. Definitely a great place to relax and enjoy some wine. They served cucumber water and was definitely a plus to keep us hydrated!

  • Review 35 (2021-08-06 - Rating: 5)

    Very delicious spot! We ordered a lot of yummy dishes to share:-Arepa tart (these were our favvvorite here)-Avocado fries (also very good)-Smoked eggplant-Ayza’s guacamoleAnd to end an amazing meal a chocolate fondue which was the best part 😍The cocktails here are also very good and they have discounts during happy hour!Cute spot to go to for happy hours, date nights and girls nights!!

    What an atmospheric place! Outdoor troyley is perfect and cosy. And the kitchen... even better! Its been a long time since Ive eaten such outstanding, slow-cooked beef on wine, served with puree, accompanied by mushrooms and spinach. Delicious and full of flavors that melt in your mouth. 10 out of 10!

  • Review 37 (2022-08-27 - Rating: 5)

    Went here on a date. We each got a different chocolate martini (pictured is my hazelnut one), both of which were really good. The burrata and the pizza were fantastic. We did splurge at the end and get a wine and chocolate pairing that was very good. You do order and pay for your food using a web app they have a QR code for.There is a really cool old trolley/train car they have out front. I didnt get to sit in it, but for drinks or a meal, it looked really cool.

Thanks guys for your hospitality and good service.My recommended: Crisp avocado frites , Citrus chiken Tacos.For cocktails: Raspberry chocolate Martini.Anddddd for dessert try warm chocolate molten cake and twenty-layer creps cake bruleeFree alcohol: curiosity killed t.c with lavanta :).

  • Review 39 (2024-08-03 - Rating: 5)

    I had been wanting to check this place out for a while, so I finally stopped by for an afternoon drink. Im a huge chocolate fan, but since I wasnt super hungry, I went for the Chocolate Martini without espresso.It came with chocolate chunk powder sprinkled on top and a truffle chocolate on the side. The combination of the martini and the chocolate was pretty good! I especially enjoyed tasting the chocolate chunks as I sipped.After finishing the drink, I had the truffle, which was a sweet way to cleanse my palate. It made the whole experience even better. The only downside was that the space felt a bit cramped, but overall, I had a great time!

    Amazing wine bar! They even have a chocolate dessert wine. Love the cat theme. Everyone is so friendly and the ambience is great!

  • Review 42 (2022-08-28 - Rating: 4)

    Great location and definitely a lot of photo ops! I like that you can order everything from the QR code on the table. Makes it very easy to order as a group if were all paying separately! Food was good, but nothing mind-blowing. We also ordered a wine and chocolate tasting. The picture showed 2 white wines and 2 reds. But when the order came out it was 4 reds. We asked if we could swap, but we were told that we couldnt and they suggested we cancel the order and order 2 orders of 2 wines. We thought that was odd and ended up just ordering an order of 2 wines instead. On Tuesdays ans Wednesdays they offer a free drink if you post on social media and tag them. So come here for the atmosphere and photo ops! Its definitely a pretty place.

    Ayza NYC is truly a gem tucked away in the heart of the city! The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between cozy and chic, making it an ideal spot for both casual meet-ups and special occasions. I was particularly impressed by the diverse menu; each dish we tried was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, ensuring we felt well taken care of throughout our meal. I cant wait to return and explore even more of their delicious offerings!

  • Review 44 (2021-01-08 - Rating: 5)

    Very cute place. Even though its in the k-town area, it doesnt serve Korean foods or drinks. I had their dips and mulled wine. The mulled wine was way too sweet for me, so I will order from the normal wine list next time. The dips were very good.We did not have a reservation so had to sit in the outside tented area - the outdoor area near their front entrance is much warmer. The tent outside had many heaters though, so we stayed warm without a problem.Once this pandemic is over, i would totally go back for wine and dips. Recommend for a date place - good atmosphere.

    My friend and I came for a brunch. We enjoy the attentiveness and space they gave us. Ordering food was easy as it was through their ordering QR code.We had the Mushroom Omelet, which was delicious. The side salad and potatoes were upgraded versions of what you normally would see paired with brunch food. This was so reasonably priced. In addition, my friend ordered the Chocolate Martini and I had the Chocolate Manhattan. To my surprise, the sweetness complement the Manhattan without overtaking the drink. Would definitely recommend coming back.

    I had the absolute pleasure of visiting Ayza Wine and Chocolate Bar, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the elegant atmosphere and exceptional service.But what truly stole the show was the incredible drinks and desserts. I ordered the Espresso Martini, and oh my goodness, it was love at first sip! The perfect blend of rich espresso, velvety smoothness, and a hint of sweetness made it impossible to put down.And then, there was the chocolate... Ayzas Dubai chocolate is a game-changer! The unique flavors and textures were a delight to explore.Overall, Ayza Wine and Chocolate Bar is a must-visit destination for anyone who loves fine wine, exquisite chocolate, and exceptional cocktails. The Espresso Martini and Dubai chocolate are absolute must-trys, and I promise you wont be disappointed!Thank you, Ayza, for a truly unforgettable experience. Ill be back soon!

  • Review 52 (2016-11-23 - Rating: 5)

    - It was a Sunday November 20 , 2016 in the afternoon hours. When I had my first real awesome Eating experience.- Decor- the restaurant was very lavished with flowers and Chandlers. Everything was uniform to perfection.- Atmosphere - it was lovely to great music playing by jazzanova - another day . Which is a perfect music for relaxation. To people having grray conversations about live. The restaurant smell like a fragrance of flowers and chocolates. It was an experience like none other. And the best part is that smiles filled the roomFood - I mostly ordered take out but as I was waiting for my takeout order I ordered a 24 layer crêpe cake and a chocolate martini which was amazing. I never tried a 24 layer crêpe cake but its one of the things you must try once in a lifetime. Based on what I heard a layer crêpe cake is difficult to make. But the chefs made it happened. The cake was absolutely delicious from the crunchy top to the spongy texture and detail of each crêpe it was like a work of art displayed on a plate.Next was the chocolate martini which was very delightful trying. It has more chocolate then alcohol which was a plus. Also you a complimentary chocolate with your martini.Take outI ordered the ravioli which was very tasty in every bite. Very delicious and cheesy. It also have high quality TasteThe truffle pizza was very good and also have different flavors that stands out.My brother tried the chicken panini and he loved it. He said its the best quality food ever tasted. He also tried the malt cake and he wanted another one. My brother sometimes could be hard to please when it comes to food but this place made him happy and exceed his expectationsAlso the smoked salmon was delicious.The presentation of the take out was nice and was not an ordinary take out. It was presented very well.Customer service was very great and the staff was very attentive. They show care and make sure my experience was magical. They give me refills of water without me asking. Most importantly they work with a smile and very joyful.Also the manager showed great passion and what she does. She check each customer to see if all their needs are met. She makes sure my experience was not disappointing.To the chefs thank you for making this a great experience and cooking works of art.To the wait staff and waitress thank you for working with a smile and making sure each customer including myself welcomedThe the Manager. Thank you for being very caring and showing what a business should be. Thank you for managing a great staff and making the experience great.

    What a nice little gem we discovered while searching for a place to have lunch. They have a lovely terrasse, a little bus to eat inside which is pretty cool. The servers were amazing, so attentive and brought us little chocolate, little sangria drinks.The food itself was very delicious, full of flavour and the drinks as well were well made.I would recommend trying this place out if you’re in the area. I would go back, and try something else.

    What an fabulous spot! We enjoyed ourselves so much we stopped by on our way to and from Penn Station and will be coming back as often as possible.Everything we ordered was above and beyond our expectations, but the Wagyu burger was the most incredible burger Ive ever had. The gluten free bun was delicious and they had a nice variety GF options.The staff were so friendly and knowledgeable, but especially Audrey we LOVED her. They look the time to chat with us about the different wines and cocktails (get the Curiosity Killed the Cat). Service, food, and atmosphere were all flawless.Do your self a favor and try it out!

    I took my girlfriend here to celebrate our 1year anniversary. We’ve passed by and looked at their menu before but haven’t had time to go, so I figure our anniversary was the perfect occasion and Ayza made it even more special. A cozy, beautiful place with delicious food, a nice bottle of wine, soft live music playing made it such a romantic night for us. You’ll forget you’re IN Manhattan.

    The drinks are great! The steak and eggs, cheese dish, salad was good. The French toast was pretty but not that tasty

  • Review 61 (2023-05-11 - Rating: 4)

    Food is good! We had pretty much all the apps and all the deserts. The stars of the show was definitely the guacamole, chicken tacos, the burrata and the earthquake cake. 4 stars because the drinks were not the best. The espresso martini was good but a little too sweet to have more than one of and the strawberry chocolate martini was not good,had a weird fake strawberry flavor. Also had a lemon martini (which is my go to drink) and it wasn’t the best. But the food was good and the dessert was outstanding!

  • Review 62 (2019-03-31 - Rating: 4)

    Not a bad place really. Took my wife as part of our anniversary. Sample wine was good, first time consuming it hot. I had the Filet Mignon and she had Lamb Chops. We enjoyed the meal for sure. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Tables are pretty close together so there is minimal privacy if having a conversation. The ambience is very relaxed. The only complaint I have is that the Tipsy Ice Cream desert is actually a mango flavored slushy. I suggest either a name change or a description. Nonetheless, me and my wife liked it.

    We visit here every time we are in New York City on vacation. We went twice during this trip. The service is always excellent and so is the food. Camilo is a great server!! I love the braised short rib bao buns and my hubby had the burrata with berries, walnuts and figs. I forgot to take a picture of the bao buns, but I will attach pictures of the burrata and a couple of the chocolate desserts we had after our meals. Yum!!

    Wow what a great place to visit, decided to visit here with my wife and mother/father in law for dessert after a meal in Korea town and were not disappointed.Lots of menu choice and staff were helpful and friendly, what more could you ask for. Would definitely recommend and will be visiting again.

    Came here for a dessert stop after a date night dinner. Super cute and chill ambiance. Service is quick and fast, you scan, order and pay all on your phone the order comes pretty quick. Very unique pairing and chocolate (to be honest was not expecting the chocolate to be better than the wines!) would come back here to keep trying something new! Tip: they have a little trolly for outdoor seating, would recommend reserving or coming early to try to get a seat in that)

Their Martinis (pictured here is the Espresso Martini) are awesome, and so is the Chocolate Manhattan. You can not go wrong with chocolate pairing— highly recommended.

    Cute bar with delicious drinks and food! They had a great outdoor set up for COVID and it was warm enough to take off my coat despite it being winter in NYC. Will definitely be stopping by again to try some more drinks!

  • Review 84 (2017-04-19 - Rating: 4)

    I really liked this place. I went on a whim during happy hour. They start you off with a complimentary small basket of popcorn, a dish of seasoned mixed nuts and a small glass (sake-glass-size?) of sangria. I asked to be seated outside. It was covered so not too sunny. It looked like they had heat lamps outside for colder nights. The surroundings arent anything spectacular but its nice place to either meet up with friends or to people watch.Chocolates range from $2.50-$3.50 each or 3 for $8 and up I believe. Drinks were between $5-$8 at the time. The staff was lovely - great service, friendly and attentive.Overall a nice little find for a happy hour meetup!

  • Review 85 (2024-04-30 - Rating: 5)

    My mom and I popped in here our first night in NYC for a quick bite, and it was wonderful. We sat in the trolley car, and ordered a 3 Cheese Platter, which was delicious, and Cacio e Pepe, which was delayed long enough that we decided to cancel that in exchange for a Twenty-Layer Crepes Cake. We werent thrilled that the pasta took so long, but we appreciated that they let us swap it for dessert. The food was excellent, as were our cocktails, and the service was pretty good since it seemed they might have been short staffed. Overall, Id definitely recommend.

  • Review 89 (2024-09-18 - Rating: 5)

    Visited here in February from Toronto based on a friends suggestion who lives in NYC for the best chocolate martinis in town, and Ayza delivered! We got some guac and chips as we were mainly just there to try the drinks, but they were good. The service was friendly, and at times it did feel a bit rushed, but it was a Saturday evening and that is to be expected, no fault of their own. They also welcome you with a little cup of free mulled wine which is a nice touch.The martinis were the main show though! My partner got the classic, and I got the raspberry one. I loved it so much I had to have two! and the little truffles they give pair so well with the drinks. Although we sat in the outdoor area, the vibes werent too far from cozy like inside, but I would definitely sit at the bar or inside if possible next time.Im planning to visit NYC again in a few months and will definitely be hitting up this spot again as these are some of the most delicious drinks youll ever have! Hopefully this time we can check out more of their food as well :)

    We are big fans of Ayza... Its not what you might be imaging as a wine and chocolate bar...rather more of a tapas place...but with great chocolate served with their chocolate martinis. Food is always consistently fabulous..keeps us returning despite all of the options in NYC. The interior of their front room has changed...we miss the former , more whimsical fairy light / plants decor...its now pretty generic

    The chocolate almond martini was delicious! Had this with 3 chocolates from the cioccolada chocolates (french cognac ohh la la, coconut tropical pleasure, & champagne strawberry). My server was ok, the only time I actually knew her name was on the recepit. Otherwise, I will definitely be visiting again!

  • Review 101 (2024-04-11 - Rating: 4)

    Good vibe. Great Food, we had the cheese board, cold cuts which not only tasted good but were also nicely presented and the yummy Zesty Prawns, fried in a garlic-lemon sauce.Unfortunately we had a table next to the door where the waiters going in and out when they serve the guests sitting outside in the tram. The door slams so loud when they go in and out, at least every minute once if not twice. Very annoying and could be solved with a little investment in a better door system. This really drags down to only four stars.

    Despite the weekend rush, we were pleasantly surprised to be seated within a mere five minutes.From the get-go, the service left a lasting aftertaste, setting the tone for a memorable evening. Our orders for the raspberry chocolate martini, old fashioned, and lychee berry martini were promptly served. The attention to detail in both taste and presentation elevated our experience to new heights.For dessert, we indulged in the cheesecake and chocolate molten cake, both of which surpassed our expectations.One aspect that particularly stood out was the respectful attitude of the staff. Unlike many establishments, we were not rushed through our meal, allowing us to savor each moment without feeling pressured or hurried.In conclusion, our evening was nothing short of exceptional.

    Great place for a drink with friends or for a date too. They welcome you with a spicy mould wine. The hazelnut chocolate martini was really nice and you could actually taste chocolate and the nuts. It was paired with a chocolate truffle A bit pricey for dinner, but I had the olives for starter and the white truffle pizza as main. Food is good quality. They didn’t have the molten cake, so I took the cheesecake with the chocolate fondue. Everything with chocolate is just their best. Highly recommended

    Ive been here a few times now, but most recently visited about 2 years ago - in the summer and over Halloweekend for a double date.In the summer, I visited Ayza with my brother during a Friday Happy Hour. Happy Hour specials are the bomb .com. $5 wines and apps were discounted as well. With our wines, they gave complimentary bread that melted in my mouth. I loved that they allowed me to taste my selected red wine before filling it up.Over Halloweekend, I ordered a flight of 4 red wines - I believe it was Pinot Noir, Cabernet, Chocolate Wine, and Rioja. The chocolate wine literally tasted like chocolate, I was in love. We ordered food too and got a bit confused in the ordering process. We though the sampler meant you can pick any 3 samplers in the appetizer menu. So we ended up ordering WAYYY more than we could handle (ended up with 6 different dishes). Everything was delicious though, the olives and spinach artichoke dip were my faves.Definitely recommend! My favorite experience of the two was happy hour, so I will definitely be back again.

    We have been here a couple times and always enjoy it. There is a decent food selection but honestly not very memorable. The chocolate selection however is quite fun. The chocolate martinis are killer. The wine is good but nothing to write home about, but they do have tasting optionwhich goes nicely with a chocolate tasting. I recommend sitting outside which is quite nice, and we always prefer sitting in the streetcar, but the inside feels a bit clubby and loud for what one would expect for this vibe.

    *Review for drinks only*Came in one Friday afternoon (before MDW) for happy hour, which is 3 pm to 5:30 pm ($5 wine/beer;$8 cocktails). BF and I had a pretty good experience - we got a table right away, service was quick, and they even gave us a sampling of their sangria (which I didnt like, but it was still a nice gesture). I had the rose, which was nice. It wasnt your standard cheap house rose that most other places would serve you during happy hour.Based on this, would definitely come back for some more HH dranks!

    My daughter and I were staying at an airbnb in the neighborhood so we initially decided to go to Ayza for dessert after a show because it was convenient. We had such a nice time. The waitress and the food runners were all friendly and helpful, and the desserts (and the hummus plate we decided to try) were all delicious! We saw, as we were leaving, the information about brunch and decided to go back. Sunday we went back for brunch and had an even better experience. Olivia was our waitress and in addition to being friendly and helpful, she was attentive without being annoying, and she overheard me wish my daughter a happy graduation, as that’s what we were celebrating, so she talked to her manager and then took the initiative to provide an extra special touch by bringing out a big beautiful strawberry with a sparkler in it and two scrumptious chocolates. It was such a touching gesture! Thank you to the management for supporting the employees when they treat customers like they’re welcome guests.

It was our first time there and our server Olivia was very attentive and made some great suggestions from the menu. Not only were our cocktails delicious but they were like pieces of art. They had great options for appetizers and main courses were beautifully presented and tasted great. This has to be the best outdoor dining experience in NYC. You can even dine in an authentic streetcar parked outside. We will go back soon and try more of their cocktails, exotic cheeses and chocolates. We definitely have to have another chocolate martini. It’s a very unique experience and we highly recommend Azya It’s a great place to go on a date or with friends.

    Went to lunch here because it was highly recommended by a friend who LOVES their chocolate martini drinks. Of course, this is one of their main attractions, so I ordered one. They are absolutely delicious. They serve it with a pairing truffle that accentuates and heightens the complete flavor experience of your martini. I also enjoyed a fried tofu dish I ordered for lunch. We sat outside to dine..very lovely spot. Last but not least, our server was AWESOME. Very knowledgeable of the dishes, and extremely friendly. Will definitely revisit for lunch when Im in the area soon.

    Very clean restaurant with nice and tasty food. Wish the portions were a little larger but tasty and beautifully presented.

    Ayza Wine Bar is the best wine bar in NYC! Great wine, cocktails, and food—especially the wine-braised short ribs and Pici cacio e pepe pasta. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff make it the perfect place to relax and enjoy.

    The costumer service experience here varies, the staff is nice and attentive but you have to order and pay using a QR code i think is really cool, this spot is known for serving the most delicious chocolate martinis, and guess what? Is totally true! My husband and I had a great time dining in the trolley 🚎 outside!!! I can’t forget to mention the food and the fact that is tasty and always well prepared and presented… tomato soup and eggplant my faves

    What a beautiful place inside and out! Lovely service, comfy seating and knockout drinks!We got everything on their chocolate martini menu among the 8 of us and all of us found something we loved. Mine are in the order from favorite to not so favorite:1. Strawberry: for the girls who like not too strong sweet tasting drinks2. Hazelnut: for those who like strong but sweet tasting drinks3. Raspberry: less sweet and less strong but very unique4. Espresso: classic drink5. Peppermint: very subtle peppermint6. Original: very very strongIn food, we didnt try much but absolutely loved the spinach artichoke dip!

    I love the service. Amazing cocktails for chocolate lovers! Great place for an intimate setting.

    This restaurant is so unique! The staff is so professional. You just order food and drinks with the QR Code provided at the table so you dont have to wait for a waiter or waitress to take your order. Jasmine, one of the Servers, was so accommodating to us and so kind. She made our night so nice. The dishes, the decorations, the whole setting was so elegant. They even have their own Trolley you can eat inside! Definitely going back to this restaurant!

    Cocktails are fabulous especially the chocolate martini. And they treated me a glass of Prosecco with the chocolate for my birthday. Staffs are so friendly and accommodating with us. It is a baby friendly restaurant, they have high chairs. But my filet mignonette was too well done and a bit dry (I requested medium rare)

    First bit of advice, make a reservation. This place is busy and for good reason, it also isnt huge with only a dozen tables inside and a few less outside.I ate at Ayza on my wedding night, with my wife, toddler and two family members who had gone eloped to NYC. The staff at Ayza had been brilliant and on the night the service and food were spectacular. They looked after us, made sure we wanted for nothing and made it worth every penny.We had a mix of the chicken, steak and wagyu burger meals and everything was perfect. Id happily go back again. For 5 people, having starters, drinks and mains the total bill came to just over $350 dollars.Would happily recommend to anyone looking for delicious food that is worth paying a slight premium for! Thank you!Apologies for the photos where wed already started, it looked too good to stop and take the photo first!

    Went here on our second date and just returned over a year later. Still excellent chocolate and wine selection. This time we got food and had instant regrets of not getting food here last time— each dish was wonderful and we particularly enjoyed the salads! The pita bread for the spinach artichoke dip was warm, soft, and lovely.

    Had a really good time here. Split a burger with a friend. Had a chocolate and wine pairing. A wagyu burger. Was raining but their patio is amazing and super warm. Felt like summer for all intents and purposes.

    Beautifully designed with a very unique chocolate martinis, of course you should try it…

  • Review 168 (2023-04-01 - Rating: 5)

    Some of the best chocolate I’ve had in a long time. The chocolate martini’s are so sweet and delicious. And the desserts were decadent. Eat slowly to enjoy! Plus a wonderful atmosphere. You can eat in a trolly car or surrounded by greenery.

  • Review 169 (2020-11-15 - Rating: 5)

    Super cute place. Great for girls night , date night or a group dinner. Desserts are assorted, so you dont just have to stick with chocolate (but chocolate options are their specialty). The espresso martini variations are very cool! Went with the original and it did not disappoint. Will def. return and am looking forward to the chocolate and wine pairings!

  • Review 170 (2021-12-30 - Rating: 5)

    The highlight of this place is the chocolate martinis and other chocolate specialty cocktails. In particular i loved the chocolate peppermint martini. The food was pretty good, but more appetizer focused. I was a little disappointed in the dessert menu as it was mostly assortments if chocolates you could buy at a store. Also, they had no description of the various chocolates they offered. Just the names. Overall Id definitely go back. Its a pretty unique place that you can bring your friends to for a fun night.

    UPDATE 03/26/2023:I’m giving this place five stars for the management team.The management reached out to me and gave me $100 gift card along the money for the damages for the burnt clothes. They were very professional when reaching out to my parents and I. It was an unfortunate situation but they have fixed the damages that happened. Would try to come again in the future.Written review in 3/18/2023:I would like to title this as a birthday disaster.It was great in the beginning but at the end this place left a bitter taste to my mouth. I wanted to post this out because whomever wants to celebrate their birthdays here. I would like to say to watch out for their candles because it might burn you. I myself got burned from their candles and here is proof.I only got a 30% off from their desserts apparently. I just wanted compensation from my burned clothes and my first degree burn.The service was not so great because the lady with the shoulder length blonde hair has no sense of professionalism and was giving us an attitude here and there when we pointed out that the drinks that was ordered besides the wine was never served.Floor manager (the guy) asked me if there’s any damages that he should know about even though I already told him about it and he looked so out of it as well.This other guy that was serving us the desserts just watched as my shirt was set on fire lol. Never coming back here again.This place is a hot mess.

    This place is always wonderful. Only mistake you can make here is ordering too much...portions are very generous.

    If you love chocolate it’s a nice bar with a nice atmosphere for couples. We ordered the crape layer but we didn’t like it.

  • Review 177 (2022-07-22 - Rating: 5)

    We hosted our wedding reception at Ayza, and we are very happy with the service we received. Emmy worked diligently with us to accommodate our requests, and the team at the restaurant provided impeccable service. Our guests were impressed and loved the food. I would totally recommend this place. The restaurant is totally instagrammable and the food is A+ .

    I love these chocolate martinis! The trolley place in front for outdoor dining is a major vibe

    Stopped in for a drink & dessert. We were seated quickly and the lava cake was delicious. Would be nice to sit outside in the trolley car in good weather!

    Got the reservations through NYbucketlisters i got the package which was around $90 for two, which included 4 wine testers, 2 martinis and 6 chocolates. There were several food items available. There was indoors outdoor and the tram seating available, i was planning to seat in the tram, it was really cute. We were seating by the door since it was a bit chilly that day we asked to put the heater on.The service was really good and food quality and quantity both were satisfactory. Must go date place if is. Loved it. ❤️
