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.

Very loud on a Wednesday @ 5:30. Lemon pasta delicious, arrived quickly and was piping hot. However, Aperol Spritz was 1/2 poured with melted ice. $17. Should have sent it back. Not my scene.

Fabulous experience in a brasserie style setting with great bar service and a “ Chelsea” scene with well presented cuisine. Good price value and service. Worth a visit!

My server Stephanie was amazing! Her recommendations were spot on and my guests and I have proclaimed Cafe Chelsea and Stephanie, we nicknamed her Persephone she was so special, as our new favorite spot.
