    Booked for a friend’s birthday and he was greeted with a handwritten birthday card. While ordering dessert we were torn between 2, ordered one but they provided us with both with a candle! Overall great dinner experience and would recommend for a special occasion. Great hospitality and would definitely return!

    My kids (9 and 11) took the lead on this brunch review. They insisted we need to add it to our NY rotation. My son was especially appreciative of the cookie with the candle at the end for his birthday. The grown ups loved it too, food, view, vibe and service.

    Great atmosphere in the main dining room of the classic Cafe Chelsea. Our waitress was very nice, welcoming, and attentive. My steak frites was good. The martini was mixed well, but I would have preferred a classic martini glass rather than a coupe.
