Pintxos and loaded bruschettas, five for 102 shekels

Eso runs the small-plates game Spanish style on Dizengoff: pintxos, fried things straight from the fryer, inventive bruschettas and a few bigger sharing plates that crowd the table fast.

The five-bruschetta deal at 102 shekels is the smart order. The drinks list reads like a Spanish night out, so budget carefully. The plates are small and the ordering finger is not.

eso is a stylish spot in a great central location with a lovely atmosphere, especially if you’re looking for drinks. The design is beautiful and the overall vibe is enjoyable (choose the bar seats or outside next to the bar for better atmosphere). The food was decent, but we expected more. A few dishes lacked balance and flavor, and the fish bruschetta was particularly bland. The portions are also a bit small, even for tapas. The service was polite but quite indifferent. I mentioned that I don’t eat cilantro, yet one of the dishes still arrived with it, and when I pointed it out, there wasn’t much of a response. Overall, it’s a nice place with a good atmosphere, but there are better tapas restaurants in Tel Aviv (for example the awesome Vermuteria). Nice place for the ambiance, though the food and service could definitely be improved.

In many other markets, I think this would be considered a good restaurant. The service was great. Atmosphere? Lovely. Food? Beautiful - but bland. Criminally under-salted, very little use of acids… just bland dish after bland dish. The beef tartar and egg salad were very good… everything else (8+ dishes) was bland. Feels like the kitchen needs to discover citrus, vinegar, and salt. We were at Vermuteria last month and there is simply no comparison. Won’t be coming back here. Not because the food was terrible… it wasn’t. But because it wasn’t wow. And in Tel Aviv, a restaurant needs to be wow to survive. There are just too many other phenomenal choices.

The food is delicious and the vibe is pure energy without being 'try-hard.' Jonathan and Yarin super friendly and professional

I went to ESO with my wife and we had such a great tim! The dishes were soooo good and such good prices. The host and waiters were so kind and gave their opinions on the dishes and I really enjoyed. They kept asking if everything was great or if I needed anything else and it was really nice having a service team that was so caring and thoughtful on your experience. I had a great time, will definitely be coming back!! If you’re debating you should for sure go

This is a tapas restaurant with unique and tasty dishes, as well as special, creative cocktails. Most of the seating is outdoors, with a lovely atmosphere and a vibrant street scene. The service is warm and attentive, and we had a great time there.
