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!

This was such an unexpected fantastic place to eat. Outdoor dining was set up beautifully and well covered. Servers were spectacular, very on the ball and friendly. All the food was exceptionally good for a casual eatery. The watermelon feta salad was excellent as were the shrimp tacos. They added a veggie patty for us to the kale salad which was a perfect topper. And you must visit the restrooms; totally unique!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!
Emily Frenkel - 11 months ago

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.

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!
Daniel Lee - a month ago

Very friendly people, really cute little cafe. I’d definitely go back and try the food, but wouldn’t do another cappuccino. It was the size of a Starbucks grande and tasted mostly like a cup of milk—probably more similar to a latte. It could just be an nyc thing, as it’s hard to find a real 5-6oz cap. Overall cool spot.
Abby B - 3 months ago

I go here relatively frequently for their delicious breakfast burritos, and also the quality and taste of their cappucinos, which is among the best in the area. Lots of regulars coming in and out. Differentiator: has more breakfast/lunch items (besides pastries) than many nearby coffee places that also have excellent espresso drinks. Also, the outdoor seating is a plus as well.
Conor Myhrvold - 3 months ago

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.

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 - 2 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!
Vivian Lin - 4 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.

Wow. Such a nice dinner we had. All the food was excellent and the atmosphere was super chill. Our waitress Ally was super friendly. She helped make the night so pleasant for us. Plus she's going to be a famous actress one day so hope she remembers us😉. I would highly recommend this place.
Jason Bechtle - 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.

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 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

Bartender seemed annoyed that he had to do his job. Difficult to get his attention and get service even when he wasn't busy. I got the vibe I wasn't the "right kind of person" to be here and it was a chore to have to give me basic service. I won't refuse to go here again, but I'd certainly look for other options first.
Alex Payne - 3 weeks 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

Very nice atmosphere in the back patio with plants and dim lighting, and not too noisy. It was easy to get a seat on the patio on Wednesday night. They have a somewhat, but still existent, non-alcoholic drink menu. I had their Sonic Youth non-alcoholic mocktail, and it was not sweet at all (which I liked) and had an interesting flavor. Okay maybe I wish it was just slightly sweet. Loved the Lavender Tonic. It's slightly sweet. The Rosemarina is not my favorite. Too bitter / sour. Okay to sip but I prefer the Lavender Tonic.

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.

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.

Stumbled upon this place looking to order takeout after a long travel day to the city. From the moment I entered, I thought what a super cool vibe it was and was also instantly greeted by friendly staff. I decided to try the short rib tacos out and they definitely exceeded my expectations. It was the perfect amount of food and super tasty. If I have time to go back to Elmo during my work trip, I for sure will!

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 ✨

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 - 2 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.

Delicious food, like Italian grandma home atmosphere! Very important to reserve at least one day in advance, or you wasn’t be able to visit!

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 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.

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.

Sangria options were great. The food was good. I loved the music last-minute celebration for my birthday. I had steak. I asked for medium even though it wasn't medium like I requested it was good, especially the sauce. It reminded me of a similar sauce I had at a Haitian restaurant i once went to.... very flavorful and a big portion, which I always appreciate. I asked that my food be wrapped to go, but accidentally, it got thrown out... No 6 manager had them make me a whole new dish, gifted my table shots and a drink while we waited, and was so kind apologetic. Definitely will be back soon to enjoy again!

Went here last week. An amazing choice if you want something good to eat and a nice vibe late at night. The oxtail empanada was so soft it melted in my mouth, and the Cubano was delightfully crispy and flavorful. Definitely recommend!

I’ve been to Coppelia multiple times, and it rarely disappoints! This visit was no exception. We started with the Tequeños and Frito Mixto as appetizers, and they were absolutely delicious. The Tequeños were perfectly crispy on the outside with warm, gooey cheese inside. The Frito Mixto was a delightful mix of fried goodness, bursting with flavors and textures. For our mains, we had the Reina Pepiada Arepa and the Chicken Fried Steak. The Reina Pepiada Arepa was phenomenal – a perfect blend of creamy avocado and tender chicken, all wrapped in a warm arepa. It was filling and flavorful, truly a standout dish. While the Chicken Fried Steak wasn’t the best I’ve had here, it was still decent. Considering my previous experiences with their food have always been really good, I can overlook this slight miss. Coppelia consistently delivers on taste and quality, making it one of my favorite spots. The atmosphere is always welcoming, and the staff is friendly and attentive. I highly recommend Coppelia for anyone looking for a great meal with excellent service. Can’t wait to come back!

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!

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.

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.

Delicious food, and the best fake eggs I've ever had. Love the space. One small issue is the varnish on the tables makes them feel sticky even when clean. Otherwise I loved the place and I'll definitely be back.

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.

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.

The real McCoy of old bars in Manhattan. I have been coming here since 80s. They serve their own McManus ale: vey refreshing in a hot summer day. A great place to share drinks with friends. Best BLT sandwich in Chelsea. The chili is also very comforting and wholesome and delicious.
