Why would a place serve tasteless or generic condiments for its burgers. It just make sense. The meatballs were good as an appetizer. The fries are pretty good. The service here isn’t consistent. Our waiter from Ohio was very good and personable. His support staff needs a tad more training. Since we were still eating the appetizer, he sat one plate on a different table next to us. Is timing and planning his fault or the management. The atmosphere was semi festive for the holidays.

I had a wonderful experience. Great food and atmosphere. Server was amazing too. Knowledgeable and down to earth. Shrimp appetizer was so good! Short ribs were tasty and carrots yummy. Top tier. Dessert was delicious!

Lovely spot for brunch, food is good but sometimes limited options. The ravioli was unbearably salty but the staff apologized and offered us some free desert. The hot chocolate was so delicious.

Nice looking place. Fried chicken waffles, huge portion, but meat as a little dry. Note, sparkling water is $10 a bottle and they don’t come and pour the refills for you. 20% suggested tip is the lowest they start with.

I had a wonderful experience. Great food and atmosphere. Our server Tereza was especially amazing. Knowledgeable and down to earth - super helpful with recommendations. She ensured we never even have to think about needing something! Shrimp appetizer was so good! Short ribs were tasty and carrots yummy. Top tier. Dessert was delicious as well as their espresso martinis.

This place was amazing in Williamsburg and still is at their new Chelsea location. Great food!

Nice Mediterranean food. Some options are repetitive and bit heavy. Bread for my crazy baba came burnt to the point I couldn't eat it. Atmosphere is nice. Service attentive. Drinks are quite good.

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.

Great, great coffee at The Commons Chelsea! I always love to swing by when I am in the area for an excellent espresso. It is a small but well-curated location, and the staff is always super friendly and smiley.

The mushroom goat cheese egg sandwich is AMAZING! The challah brioche roll was light and perfect with the huge serving of eggs. Fast service, delicious food, great options. Their house made hot sauce tipped the scales to be the best egg sandwich on my list.

I got a BLT and added avocado. It came on a nice toasted Brioche bun I was not expecting the spicy kick of the mayo, nice fresh, thick tomatoes, baby leaf lettuce, and a good amount of bacon…overall a very good BLT.

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.

Needed coffee in the morning and gave this place a try. I got an iced americano and I love the beans they are using! It’s just my style, I’m not a big fan of the sour coffee, but their coffee is more on the bitter and bold side which I love! I’ll definitely be coming back!

Good no-nonsense food at a very good price point. Some highlights for us - Burger is tasty and doesn't feel overly rich. Makes for a good guilt-free feed. You may want to consider asking for sauce if you like more flavour though. The base Burger was plenty for me however. French fries are cooked perfectly - nice and crispy, very hard to stop eating! Cauliflower with tahini (market veges) was a good compliment to our mains. I'll definitely be back for a casual meal and would recommend for anyone looking for a simple meal to drop by.

GREAT AMERICAN RESTAURANT WITH HEALTHY VEGGIES 🥗 It’s an energetic spot for an early weekend dinner. Without reservations, there were only seats outside but it worked out since the weather was nice. ⛅️ The food as Westville never disappoints as it’s fairly reasonable for the quality of food you get. It’s a very farm-to-table vibe as there are plenty of market vegetables to choose from. I actually ordered an entree entirely off market vegetables which they call a “market plate”. I had the roasted peaches watermelon mint salad, sautéed kale with pumpkin seeds, beets with goat cheese walnuts, and yucca fries. 👍🏼 others at the table had salmon plate with peas, bacon, and caramelized onions and pesto mashed potatoes. Another had the chicken cutlet with garlic mash, and perfectly roasted asparagus with parmesan. All was EXCELLENT. It’s a good place for good food that you won’t feel guilty about! They even have a kids menu for the little ones 👧🏻 👦🏻 Highly Recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
LIEM - 6 months ago

Unfortunately my first time trying Westville was disappointing. I ordered a kale salad to go and added 7oz of chicken to it for an additional $7. When I got my order, I ended up only receiving 4oz of chicken. $7 for 7oz was already pricey but $7 for 4oz was unacceptable. The pickled onions ended up being too sharp too and overwhelmed the other flavors in the salad. I was excited to try this salad after seeing an influencer hype it up online but I was sorely disappointed with it after trying it today and would not get the salad again.
Catherine Yao - 5 months ago

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!

Bar Veloce Chelsea has been my neighborhood spot for the past 5 years, and is truly a neighborhood staple. The happy hour deal is unbeatable, the ambiance is perfection, and the staff is so fun and welcoming. The entire staff - especially David, Dara, and Valentin - are absolutely, 100% the reason that I keep coming back. They all immediately make you feel at home. The only drawback is that the music is quite dated and doesn’t quite fit the overall vibe. Aside from that - I could not recommend this spot more highly. You will not be disappointed!
Sarah Talbert - 2 months ago

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.

Love me a cozy NYC wine bar. Found a seat relatively easy on a Saturday around 7pm. Charcuterie meat and cheese “piatto veloce” is perfect for 2 and the panini pressed bread is sooo good. 🍷🧀🍖
Amy Vardijan - 2 months ago

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

Dropped by on a Sunday night an hour before closing. Great vibes and awesome service. Didn't rush us at all and let us enjoy a good time with friends! Food was honestly pretty damn good. I wasn't expecting to be blown away but their mac & cheese is definitely worth trying alongside some of their entrees like the penne. Best of all, Elmo has incredibly generous portion sizes. I was definitely rolling out of the restaurant.
Albert Wang - 5 months ago

Elmo is so wonderful, I wish I could hang here every day. Elmo was really good and extremely affordable. I am impressed, Elmo was truly incredible. Flavorful menu items at great prices, great atmosphere to unwind at. Delightful menu items at really good prices, amazing ambience to unwind at. Unique menu items, welcoming staff, charming atmosphere - what more could you ask for? Every single thing was fresh, flavorful, and extremely yummy. Everything was wonderful and delicious. Every thing I've tried thus far has been wonderful. The service was also perfect and every one was nice. Service was amazing and everyone working here was incredibly nice and generous. The team are really attentive and kind and they're great at giving recommendations. Will certainly be back to try other items. Great experience and the staff was great! The service was outstanding, and I will certainly repeat Elmo when in the area.

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.

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.

A perfect cozy neighborhood spot. Huge menu with something for everyone, with great portions and reasonable prices. Gives vibes of more old school new york. Specials menu adds a little variety - we tried the duck ravioli and it was a lovely addition!
Kennis Dees - 3 months ago

Several options to choose from, including daily specials. The pesto was really good. Others had the Mac and Cheese because it had truffles and they really liked it. The portions were just right (not small or big). The bread was a nice touch too. They have a painting from Madonna which is quite nice / funny.
Carlos Vivas Augier - 7 months ago

Good Italian places like this are distinguished by the high quality of their tomato sauces and pasta. The dishes here were fragrant and herby, the sauce fresh and full of natural flavour, and the pasta had perfect texture. For our lunch for two, the quiet restaurant atmosphere was ideal for conversations while we nibbled on the complimentary bread, olives garlic, and olive oil dip. We enjoyed some Aperol and Campari drink mixes before our orders arrived. We recommend the two course set menu as it was great value for money. For starters, both the Eggplant Parmigiana and Baked Goat Cheese were memorable for the fresh fragrant tomato taste and different cheeses. For mains, the Rigatoni was deliciously put together and the Branzino (fish) was tender in the fillet and crispy on the skin. If you are in the Chelsea neighbourhood and after something a bit nice but in a comfortable and casual setting, this is the place for you.

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!

This food was incredible. We got the shrimp dish and I wanted to bottle up the juice/drippings that they were in and take them home. 🤤 The churrasco was amazing. And the tres leches 🤩 every bite was delicious. Great music. Open all night.
Kelli Thon - 2 weeks ago

The service was good. The atmosphere was a busy diner. It was cozy and pretty packed late at night. The food tasted fresh and it wasn’t out of this world amazing. It was really really good. I’d say the prices were a bit high for the food you were getting. I got a burger and I tried my friends fish tacos. The burger was juicy had a good taste and they had a variety of options that I don’t see in a typical restaurant. So if you’re looking to taste food from a different culture, definitely a nice spot to try. Fish tacos were crunchy and didn’t even need sauce! I’ll definitely be back to try the oxtail empanada.
Vincent C ➐ - 5 months ago

I went here for a late night bite and was happy with my experience. The food was good too. I got an Pabellon Arepa with a side of fries. The Arepa came with beef, plantain, and beans in it. The beef was fine, the beans had hints of being savory, and the plantain was sweet. This was complemented well by the breading of the arepa which tasted fresh and simple, as to not steal too much attention from the main ingredients. The fries were pretty straightforward fries. I can only say I liked the food I didn’t love it. One thing that I did appreciate is that I asked for a side of ranch to help the fries and instead they gave me a whole arrangement of sauces. I ended up using a completely different sauce because it tasted so much better on the fries. On top of that the service was fast and the salsa music was great. It claims to be a Cuban restaurant and it certainly fells like it. Overall I had a good time which I will say goes along way when the food is enjoyable.

Late night Vibes 💯 Music 💯 Even though this restaurant is intimidatingly crowded, we were seated as soon as we walked in, within 2 minutes. Service was impeccable, fast, accurate and not to mention everything we ordered was absolutely DELICIOUS. Started with THE succulent oxtail empanada, absolutely DELICIOUS 😋 and flavorful. We had to order a second! Entre was the chicken sandwich, It was juicy, crunchy and topped with coleslaw. It instantly made my mouth water. Highly recommend! Then ordered the rice and beef. The table next to us had it and it smelled so good we had to try it. 100/10 definitely recommend. In my opinion just order 1 of everything. Thank me later.

CHELSEA, NY - This is always our go-to breakfast spot! The service is spot on, and it's one of the trendiest cafes in the neighborhood. . The ambiance is quite nice, especially with the dog-themed décor. Local artists have their dog paintings adorning the walls, which adds a boho touch. The rustic and warm atmosphere makes it perfect for a nice chat, whether you’re catching up with a friend or sharing a special moment with someone. . As for the service, friendly and attentive. . Now, let's talk food. Try the 1/2 lb Big House Burger with cheddar cheese, with a side of caramelized onions or tossed salad, or the crispy Julienne fries with bacon. The burgers are delicious and cooked just right (or as you would like it to be). For drinks, try the refreshing peach mango fizz that is perfectly balanced — not too sweet at all. . Other great dishes are the nachos, wings, and French toast. The buffalo sauce is cooked right into the wings instead of just slathered on top, making them nice and crispy. The French toast have the perfect texture — just the right balance of soft and firm. . If I'm back in the area, you can bet I’ll swing by for breakfast, lunch or weekend brunch!

Went here with my friend and loved the drinks and atmosphere! I got the seasonal pumpkin espresso martini which was lovely :)) It tasted so smooth and I got a happy buzz. My friend ordered the happy hour marg. It was strong and tasted good with a salt rim. The staff was all so sweet and very friendly. Love the halloween decorations too, cozy and cute! My friend and I were technically here to catch up and get some work done and they didn’t mind that which was so sweet. Also the bathroom was very clean and they had a great playlist (mix of pop music now/throwback and latin music).

This place had such a fun and cafe-like comforting vibe! Our waitress was great and very helpful. I liked the brunch options as they have a good amount of options. We got the hibiscus mimosa and Bloody Mary to drink - both made well and yummy. To eat we got the chilaquiles and egg croissant sandwich. Nice portions and good flavors. I couldn’t finish my meal and I liked how the chilaquiles came with chorizo with a nice twist in presentation as well.

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.

Nice size Bar/Restaurant. I like the Old Timey feel of the place. The prices are very reasonable. I had the Chicken Fingers, which were very dry but I liked the sauces it came with. It seems like a neighborhood bar but one where everyone is welcomed. Meg is a good bartender and she's very nice and welcoming. I would come back but I would order something else.

Really appreciate a bar that has a traditional telephone booth in it. It's so amazing to see that these things still exist. It is a small bar and a lot of people. So the atmosphere is a little difficult at times. The food is fantastic, nothing better than a cheeseburger and beer
RTClass - 3 months ago

Here you can feel the atmosphere of old New York, brutal and cozy at the same time but yet attractive. The food is delicious and the selection of beers is large. The interior is atmospherically "tired" from the multitude of stories told and hectoliters of beer drunk. Ohh and if you're naughty there's a baseball bat by the whisky bottles. it looks used...

A great bar. Looked lived in and had immense character. Treated me fast and good. Had your cheeseburger. It was a real treat. I don’t have a lot of chances traveling for work picking the best options, but this place was cozy, comfy and a nice house ale to keep you company. Thank you for your hospitality.

The real New York. Called in here for a break after a day of walking around the Village. Loved it. It was pretty much deserted when we got there but the bar tender was still on it, attentive and friendly, going about his jobs until we were ready to order. The place is what I dearly love about New York. Not trying to be anything it isn't (nobody in their right mind could call it flashy!), but oozing character, history, charm, you can only imagine the tales from here if you're lucky enough to be a regular. A snippet of genuine, American/Irish authenticity in the ever growing sea of fake not too far from here. We had food and drinks, all of which were great. Thanks to Brian for the great service and the conversation. Another one for the memory banks to cherish!
