Looking for great food with great ambiance - we have already tried Alta for tapas, Buddakan and Stanton Social for shared small plate dinner - any other suggestions for six people.

Perhaps, the Bar Room at the Modern? The menu is a combination of small plates and some bigger ones.

Or Nuela? You could start with a bunch of the small plates, ceviches, etc., and then order the very large dishes like the arroz con pato or chicken, which are great for sharing.

Casa Mono is another option for a small plates menu. The big problem there is how comfortable it will be for six people as seating is very tight.

Check out SD26. Great place for exactly what you are looking to do. Bar Basque is also a good choice.

Empellon and Kin Shop have wonderful small plates that would be suitable for sharing.

At Nuela, you can share the suckling pig, arroz con pato, roast chicken. and several excellent appetizers.

Are you also considering large format meals at places like Momofuku Ssam Bar and The Breslin?
