Xixa - Brooklyn

Warm vibe atmosphere, knowledgeable waiter, excellent service; highly recommend the chef's selection cubed cocktails. Bon appetit!

My boyfriend and I celebrated an early valentine's day here and had no idea what to expect. Decided to try something new and went with their special offer which included 7 appetizers, 1 entree and a dessert. The twist is the chef decides on what comes out, so it's an experience every moment of the dinner. Everything that came out to our table was a 9-10/10 rating. Insane caution to flavor and detail, not to mention we had the best staff spoiling us the whole night, it honestly felt like we were the only ones there on how well they treated us. Josue was our waiter and i can't recommend him and this place enough. We'll be back!

We made a resy for eight on a Saturday night. One of the main reasons why we chose this place was for the ease of having a set tasting menu. It was even better when the tasting menu was super affordable at around 56 dollars! I got two cocktails. They were good but not something to write home about. Our set menu started with guacamole and 3 types of chips. It was very standard. I would've wanted a few more chips as we still had guacamole left. The fish tacos were great with a sweet beet topping? I was expecting them to be pickled. I think it needed a bit more citrus. The burrata with possibly ?fried green tomatoes was interesting. The lamb meatballs and pita course was interesting. It definitely tasted more Mediterranean than Mexican, which was a little disjointed with the overall vibe of the menu. But it was very well done. The scallop with noodles with artichoke sauce was my favorite of the night. The chicken wings were very crisply fried and super tasty . Lastly I think we had a super crispy pork shank with tortillas. At this point, we were already so happily full from the meal. We ended with churros and a funfetti tres leche. The service was friendly. I would give it a 4.5/5. Definitely would come back for another big group dinner. Excited to see how the menu changes seasonally.

Xixa was a wonderful experience! My group did the 9 course meal, and it was delicious. It was a lot of food even though the serving sizes were small. You might not like every course, but you get the chance to try things you would like and also things you didn't think you'd try. The service was prompt and great. One thing to note, the 9 course meal comes out fast. Each course comes quick, so try to pace yourself.

Food: The food here was overall delicious. Our party had the chef's choice which was plenty of food for everyone. Some of the dishes had a little bit of spice but they were well balanced with other dishes that did not. The overall best dish was the fish tacos. The fish was perfectly cooked and the sauce was delicious. Service: The service here was the only questionable part of the evening. Our party called ahead to make sure we could order individual dishes. However when we arrived the waitress argued with us and then passive aggressively allowed us to choose if we wanted the chefs choice or to order individual dishes. She continued to make passive aggressive comments all night whenever we so much as asked for napkins. We also had a member of our party that had food allergies and made the waitress aware of them before ordering. Despite being told that the food was safe, the person had an allergic reaction, that required treatment, due to the food served, even though they only ate 3 of the dishes. Ambiance: The restaurant is narrow but long. The tables are decently spaced to allow so it doesn't feel too crowded. The lighting is kept overly dim. All of the people in my party over the age of 30 struggled to read the menu, and ended up needing to pull out their phones to be able to read.
