Post graduation dinner. Loved the ambiance of the space. I saw couples, families, girls night out but I can definitely tell this place also gives hype happy hour/after dinner vibes. Indoor/covered outdoor seating. It was pretty chilly the evening we came and their heat lamps outside are NO JOKE! Fantastic bar. Loved that the music was a great mix of pop culture and old school that didn’t blow my eardrums out.

On a Spring day in the big apple I found myself in the Chelsea area and decided to have brunch at Cafeteria. The ambience gives an upscale diner with lots of space on the inside and outside. The host was warm and friendly as he led me and my friends to our table which was situated in the patio. With loads of sunlight and that unrepentant NYC noise, it was the perfect pair for a brunch day. I ordered the Shaved Prime Rib sandwich which was absolutely delicious especially with the sauce that came with it. I was also able to modify my order to come with truffle fries instead of the regular fries. I did not order for a drink as I had drank a lot the previous night. So I just had sparkling water. The chef later came out to say hello to my friends and I, he’s a gracious gentleman from Senegal. All in all it was a great experience. If you’re looking for somewhere chill with some vibrance to it, this is your place!

Super hip place that gives upscale vibes with the interior and serves elevated comfort food. Indoor-outdoor boundary is blurred with the seating that feels very open and nice. Great place for brunch or early dinner. There’s all types of people, families in there, very wholesome. There’s plenty of gluten free/vegan/vegetarian options as well. Servers are nice and accommodating but not overwhelming. Bar is gorgeous and the drinks were great! I had the Bistro Burger with a lettuce wrap (9/10), Deviled Eggs (9/10), Burrata (9/10), Polenta Fries (10/10), Grilled Chicken Paillard (6/10) and the Wildberry Mojito (8/10) over two visits recently. As an interior designer, I must note that the interior is absolutely stunning and very thought to the last detail. For a small space, they really made it look nice and conceptually consistent which I love!

The fried chicken sandwich is so so delicious. The fries, not so much after cold but I still finished it anyway because who doesnt like fries eh. The vibe is always fashionable and lively. My husband and friend also like their order and we had a joyous brunch.

Awesome middle eastern location! I was surprised to have iPads for menus, though we couldn’t order off of them. Absolutely loved their version of pita bread, it was fluffy, soft, and warm. We ordered the lamb and chicken shawarma dishes and we were not disappointed. The lamb was super tender.

Zizi is a nice spot for a Mediterranean meal in the Chelsea area. The place has a rustic vibe, I am sure it would look good in the night with all the candles lighted up in the walls. Liked their dip (Crazy Baba) and pita and the fact that everything tasted fresh. The portion size is good as well. Although felt that there could have been more options, especially in the dips. Every item looked good in the menu so we ordered a lot variety. I must say I had more expectations, therefore, I felt that the food lacked flavors. It was more aesthetically pleasing, flavor wise just decent. The shakshuka didn't feel like a shakshuka, it was a soup rather. The bread in the Mushroom sandwich was hard as a rock making it difficult to eat. The puff pastry was good and crispy but the dish as a whole was just okay. For a Mediterranean place, their hummus was too plain and basic. I have had better hummus in other Mediterranean restaurants in NYC. The only thing I can vouch for is their pita bread- really good and freshly made. Otherwise the food felt just plain and simple not extraordinary. They didn't deliver according to the expectations. Also didn't find the staff to be friendly and engaging. They were just doing their duty. I feel the restaurant has the potential to do much better.

Come here with friends, come here on a date, come here with whoever or by yourself! You're bound to have a good time! I’m getting excited thinking about the next time I’ll go and it’s only been a few days. Literally, everything was perfection from the drinks, to the food, to the service, to the music. I would ask for extra hummus for the chicken Shawarma. It’ll also go well with the lamb chops!

I was craving for some Mediterranean cuisine, so I randomly found ZiZi and gave it a try. Loved how different Z selections. We ordered hummus, baba ganoush, and falafels. They were really good! Pita bread was also soft and warm. We also ordered overnight lamb. Compared to Zs, overnight lamb was ok. Nothing special. Tried better ones before. We got complementary chocolate mousse which was nice! The restaurant is a bit too noisy, so not suitable for date nights.

Updated review: Zizi used to be one of my fav restaurants in Town as you can see from my below review that i made in Jan 2022. Today i went back and got a babaganoush and hummus, the taste was very bad and absolutely nothing like it used to be. The chef might have changed or the ingredients. Other dishes might still be good but don’t expect to taste a delicious hummus. My server was very nice and accomodating. ———— Zizi is a delicious mediterranean restaurant in Chelsea. The owner are Israeli and they named the restaurant after a woman character of the ‘70 Their food is so flavourful and good. We ordered the bagel, hummus which comes with their very own pita, falafel, grilled salmon and shawarma. Loved the vibe, enteriors and the whole experience. I will absolutely go back and dine at Zizi. (Jan 2022)

Not usually a wrap person but the chicken Caesar wrap is so good! Really filling, amazing croutons and kale and dressing. Also got a matcha and sat outside. They have 4-5 tables for outdoor and no laptops after 12pm on weekdays.

Pretty good food and service. Nice iced tea, too. I met someone here for a business meeting and it was honestly not great for that. Seating limited to 4-5 small outdoor tables including 2 tables in a street parking takeover shed. Cute counter service with friendly staff (nice, rare in these parts). We were lucky to score one of the tables in the shed and that the weather was nice; otherwise, it wouldn't have worked at all. More of a takeout breakfast and lunch spot with good beverages. A decent option if you live or work in the area but definitely not a destination.

The food was excellent but I was hoping for freshly roasted coffee beans from a local or small roaster rather than a massive company (La Colombe.) I didn't end up getting a coffee since I was there specifically thinking I'd be getting some quality beans but ended up just getting food instead. There are a half dozen coffee shops in the area serving quality beans, though if you're in the area and just want a quick cup of coffee with some breakfast, this certainly beats a bodega.

Great coffee! Food menu is limited but the avocado toast is tasty, and the service is super friendly. Seating is limited and not much atmosphere so I’d only come back for a take-away

Great location and decent prices. Staff are really nice. BLT sandwich could be better though. The coffee is great!

A great healthy food option! I had a hard time picking what market vegetables to order with our chicken since they all sounded so good! We got the goddess green beans on the side too. Seasonal dessert was strawberry pie a la mode and I loved it!
Vivian Lin - 3 weeks ago

Such a nice place to have the dinner at in the late evening. The staff was super friendly, I mean every single one of them. Super nice during the time we had the dinner. And we love the menu that was very easy to navigate and make the decision. We each had the cup of soup and I had the grilled salmon and my husband had the chicken. The sides of vegetables are also very tasty. The drinking menu is good. Highly recommend this place if you want a simple nice dinner no matter alone or with your friends in Chelsea.

Foods, drinks, and ambiance were fine 😃. For drinks, I ordered the Burnt Orange Manhattan, a great combination of flavors and strength, giving me a smooth but noticeable buzz 😏. My friends ordered the Cucumber Fizz and mentioned that it was great, too. For food, I ordered a medium-rare Sirloin Steak with pesto mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts. The steak and the potatoes were great, the sprouts were good, although some of them were a bit hard. I got the chance to try a bit of my friend’s salmon, and it was delicious 🤩; it felt fresh and moist with the perfect texture. The service was excellent, and the food came promptly. The restaurant was spacious inside and also had a considerable amount of tables outside.

Healthy yummy food with great VFM (especially in NYC). We came without a reservation on a Sunday night and were seated within 10 min. The food is fresh and delicious and the service good. For either a good brunch or a nice dinner

Great place to have a nice drink and chat. We stopped by to end the night and had a great time speaking with Dara, our bartender. She makes the best drinks and has me hooked on that lavender drink. Thank you, Dara, for being friendly and funny to go along with your mixologist skills.

Chic atmosphere and tasty tapas plus great happy hour. The service was Stellar. Jackie behind the bar was kind and interesting. This place is a chelsea staple and there’s several other successful locations around town. If you see a bar veloce, definitely give it a whirl. Solid wine list too

I made a reservation in the back garden at the Chelsea location for my birthday and my group of 12 guests had a wonderful time! We had excellent service from Tommy, delicious food and wine, all in a covid safe environment. They have space heaters even! They did not charge an extra fee for bringing our own cake and they were great at handling all the many dietary restrictions in my group! Highly recommend.

I think it is my favorite wine bar now. You can't beat every day happy hour with $7 for a glass in Manhattan! After HH, we ordered a bottle of Etna Rosso (a wonderful dry acidic mineral red wine). So good. I'd say, the food is ok, but the green olives were really delicious!
Masha Obaturova - 3 months ago

Came here after work to try out their happy hour options. The wine on special was fairly priced and hit the spot. Glad to see the food options were great as well. Nice place to grab some wine and have a conversation with a few friends. They have a wide selection besides happy hour and a knowledgeable waitstaff.

My wife and I went here for My birthday. Service was great. They were really attentive. Not even just our server. Another server came and checked on us too. The vibe is nice and decor makes for a fancy night out or a casual chill meal. The food was amazing. They accommodated my wife’s sesame seed allergy. Our drinks were okay. BUT they were strong so I got exactly what I wanted. I will be back. I haven’t felt good about spending over $100 on food for two ever. And I’d definitely recommend for dates or just a nice meal with friends.

Very nice atmosphere but super loud. Definitely not for a romantic date. It's perfect for a gathering of friends to catch-up and have drinks, and share the many appealing appetizers. There is a great bar as well.

Great place for a brunch. The banana bread is their specialty and is very delicious and the halloumi bowl too. The lounge inside downstairs looks very intimate and atmospheric ✨

Had lunch here. It was a standard experience, friendly people at the door, friendly people at the bar. The space has high ceilings and really nice vibes. The food was pretty good. They have a beautiful lounge downstairs. The waiter was from Turkey and was helpful with recommendations, helping us decide what we wanted to eat. I would return.

Got dinner from across the street and my friend and I wanted some crem brûlée for dessert. Found this place and while it was a quick trip, we discovered such a cute Italian restaurant. The dessert was amazing but we will definitely be coming back to have dinner.

Warm décor, delicious food, and fabulous staff. They were so sweet and promptly brought us our food. We ordered the fried calamari & zucchini chips to start, chicken parmesano, chicken meatball dish, and truffle mac and cheese. We finished with the tiramisu, Cioccolatissimo, and Crème Brûlée. It's rare to find a place where every dish is enjoyable. The Crème Brûlée was my favorite. It was so smooth! Best tiramisu I've had in quite some time. The flavors and textures were well balanced. This is one of those rare places where every dish was exceptional and we didn't experience a long wait for anything. We also weren't bombarded with plates and overlapping dishes/courses. Every course had impeccable timing and was the perfect temperature. For instance, we just finished the last chip in the starter and table was cleared for the sizzling mac and cheese that we heard making it's way from the kitchen. I appreciate the attention to detail. In other restaurants, I hate waiting too long because I feel like I'm going to be there all night and I can't stand being rushed so staff can flip the table. They made us feel welcome but it seems they understood that we don't live there lol. My favorite part is being allowed to rest our food after this culinary experience! It wasn't difficult to ask for the check and they brought us our bags the moment we stood up without us asking. Reminds me of the quality of service I grew up with experiencing on Mulberry street in the 90s. Comfortable, delicious, genuinely warm/welcoming, and easy going but attentive. I didn't think I'd encounter the quality of service we received in this place. Not that I doubted them specifically! Lol. It's just so rare to have a pleasant experience from beginning to end. The décor definitely adds to that 90s NYC vibe but it's part of its charm. So that's a plus, for me. Nostalgic but not completely outdated. The entire staff collaborated very well together to tend to every table. I was advised to reserve a table but I'm not sure we needed to because we dined early at 6pm. But the reservation didn't hurt. If you eat the way we did, be prepared to spend a pretty penny if you visit with a party of 4+ even if no one drinks. For the quality of food, I find it pretty affordable if your group just gets one dish each because times are hard. In this economy? Sometimes we have to make sacrifices lol. But if you can hack it, try as many dishes as you can possibly afford lol. Great wine selections, also! A huge thank you to the staff at Le Zie for making my mother's 69th birthday dinner a memorable one. I hope to be back soon for the Chicken Liver Pâté Crostini and Yellowfin Tuna Ravioli!

Cute Italian restaurant, small open atmosphere. Restaurant was suggested by someone we met at a bar in Times Square...a resident on Madison Ave. It was a great suggestion. Had dinner and we enjoyed our food. I had the lasagne and a glass if wine. I really enjoyed the lasagne and my friend enjoyed her dish as well which was the pappadelle with lamb ragu. And the service was good as well. Glad we went.

The missus said her salad was one of the best she’s ever had. We enjoyed all of our entrees, and they happily made modifications for a couple of our picky children. Service was top notch. And, it was quiet despite being full: our party of eight had an enjoyable conversation at relatively normal speaking levels. Will come again!

The food was okay. Their AC was to the max so cold had to leave. My daughter rice was the end of the pan so it was crunchy, much rather have fresh rice. The garlic sauce was very bland needed some seasoning in it.
Debra Ramirez - 2 months ago

Cannot stress how wonderful this place is. Only isn't 5 stars because I'm a tough grader for service having worked with Michelin star chefs and fine dining. They're always packed. But open 24 hours? Bumping music. If you're looking for somewhere calm I wouldn't recommend this. But it's so yummy and cute. And if anything it's pricey but it's open 24 hours in chelsea so understandable. Their salmon is amazing!

Popular Cuban diner open 24/7. It seems the late night or weekend menu is different than the menu found online, as the prices were higher and the options were different. The yucca fries were very mid, though the olive oil dip had a good herb blend. The fried plantains were on the softer side (as a preference, I like more fried ones). The mojito was delicious the heuvos rancheros was the real deal and the bed of rice and beans tasted authentic, though the rice was definitely undercooked. My friends said the beef-based dishes were perfect, with tender and juicy meats. There was a large quantity of food as well, so you will likely leave with leftovers! Overall I have somewhat mixed feelings about the place, but if you order the right dishes then they will be absolute hits.

Breakfast: The good - sandwich was good. Potatoes (as a side) we ordered well done, and were very good The omelet was average. Not worth coming back for. It wasn’t very substantial and had little filling The so-so - Potatoes with omelet were cold and not very good. Not sure why they were different than the side ones but they were. I asked the waitress to address the issue and she took my entire plate and came back with the same potatoes but hot. Clearly just nuked and now mushy. Terrible execution on that one Got a cup of coffee and nobody ever came around to see if I would like it refilled. Also pretty bad service. Paid $45. Too much for a mediocre breakfast even in NY. I recommend you pass on this place for breakfast and find a better place.

I stopped by the Grey Dog for a quick breakfast and coffee with a friend while in NY. It was nice and relaxing with decent food and coffee. Here are some takeaways: Environment I arrived right when the restaurant was opening, so it was fairly empty. The place has a rustic, neighborhood vibe with plenty of seating both inside and outside. I chose to sit outside since it was a beautiful day. The atmosphere was very relaxing and chill, which was exactly what I needed for an early morning. Service I was the first person to be served as they opened up and they made sure I felt welcome and that I was served. They were great and made sure I had everything I needed in a timely fashion. My food and coffee were delivered promptly. The service was great. Food and drinks I had pancakes, eggs, and a mocha. The eggs were okay, but the pancakes were a bit dry, so I wouldn't order them again. The mocha was solid and met my expectations, but nothing extraordinary. Overall My experience at the Grey Dog was fine, offering a solid mocha and some decent food. It was wonderful to arrive first thing in the morning when it was peaceful, quiet, and relaxing.

This is a fantastic place for brunch in Chelsea. The staff is very friendly and efficient, even if the place gets crowded. The food service is very quick too. The atmosphere inside is nice and cozy. It's brilliant for having a nice meal with friends and family. There's music inside, so maybe not the best place for quiet conversations. We ordered the burger, Mexican bowl, avocado toast and fried chicken with pancakes. The food was delicious, especially the oatmeal pancakes and Mexican bowl. The drinks were really refreshing, especially on a hot day. Have absolutely no issues recommending this place.
Anjaneya Gurjar - a month ago

Went there for brunch and overall very satisfied. Food was overall very good, except for the pancakes, which tasted very weird/unusual… not sure what they added 🧐. We say outside and the tables seemed a little bit damaged — not sure if it was on purpose (a “style”…) though. Service was totally fine.

Great Dog Chelsea is an amazing spot for happy hour! Their selection of coffee drinks and lattes is unbeatable, and they have some of the best deals in the city during happy hour. I especially love their craft beers for just $4 each—it's crazy, especially for New York! They also offer plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, including fresh salads and the millennial classic - avocado toast topped with a poached egg (don't judge, please, haha). The service here is always excellent and make sure they give you an experience you will want to come back for. Whether you're looking for a great cup of coffee or a fun happy hour spot, Great Dog Chelsea has you covered. Highly recommend stopping by for some of the best deals in town!

The food was delicious and it’s a small, but cute, atmosphere. I love the amount of food you get for the price. The staff working were friendly in the sense of greeting you at the door, but weren’t super engaging with us while taking our orders. The grilled cheese is a favorite from here.

We’re over from Ireland (for paddy’s weekend), staying in Chelsea, and after a long flight we stopped by for some burgers and a few scoops… and we were very surprised by how good the Guinness js and the burgers are just as nice. Great value for money and lovely staff… deffo stop by and check it out.

Sometimes I take walkabouts in Manhattan and seek out obscure out of the way places which tend to have better meals then the ones on more popular routes. I have to say I did like the look of the place (Old style both in and out) and the quiet atmosphere due to a rain storm. The bartender told me the place is usually more lively but I liked it just the same. The food was very good (Cheese Burger, Steak Fries. Coke) and the staff attentive. A favorite new spot to go to on a rainy day.

We were walking from ground zero towards Central Park, we have stopped here for a small rest, the pub was really great, cozy. I liked really the vintage style of the interior decoration. It gives you the feeling of the history of New York, the barman and the lady were really Nice, polite and warm. We get biers and some snacks, the chicken wings were really nice. I had really a great experience and feeling here thanks lovely people.
