Great little cafe in Chelsea – My friend and I both had an arugula salad with goat cheese and a cucumber-jalapeño margarita. The salads were excellent. The dressing was so light and refreshing, the goat cheese so creamy and rich, and the cocktail was uniquely tasty! The read lacquer finished pepper grinders are a really nice touch to the simplicity of the restaurant as well!

Tops on Food, Worth the Wait – IMO, all the reviews of this spot must start with the excellent food. The Brunch menu included a number of outstanding appateizers, well portioned sides that complimented the meal, and a broad selection of egg based breakfasts and tasty sandwiches that will please most diners. The quality of the food cannot be missed. Obviously fresh ingredients and all prepared masterfully. The wait staff was extreemly friendly, patient, and helpful. Eventhough the entire lobby was jammed with eager patrons, I... read more

extremely welcoming – I think you can tell a lot about a restaurant by how they treat single diners. Cookshop is unfailingly cordial and welcoming--even encouraging me to linger when it's clear that my table will soon be needed by an actual couple. The service is gracious and low-key. No attitude here. And the food is terrific. Fish is always a good choice, and the wild nettle risotto is the best risotto I've had anywhere in the city. Although I hadn't planned on dessert last night, it was such a lovely evening to sit outdoo... read more

nice location, sub par food – the place is lovely at night - esp if you get a seat on the terrace. but the food last night lacked any subtlety - greasy does not begin to describe it. green beans and spinach drenched in not-too-good oil, and soggy polenta sticks. some bizarre acidy taste to the dips... drinks are delightful and so is the service tho. and great location by the highline. but if you want a decent meal... go elsewhere

Absolute worst. Go to Olive Garden for better food/service. – Disgusting people. No ethics, greedy greedy.

large menu – Cookshop is one of my favorite restaurants in the NY. I dined here many times- mostly for special occasions, as the price is somewhat high. I have enjoyed everything I have put in my mouth- from the chicken, steak, oysters, to the scallop and pork chop, to the fabulously decadent lemon cake. The wine list is varied and extensive. I like the fact that I can order a bottle of wine for $40-50 and not feel cheap. The service here is typically wonderful. I recommend this place to anyone.

check this place out if you can squeeze in! – This place was outrageously crowded but I managed to quickly get a seat at the bar (with a friend) and we ordered dinner. We started with bar snacks: The Buffalo chicken wings are your basic lollipop size wings (all the kind of...er... gross parts of the little "drumstick" have been cleaned off and you can pop it in your mouth without looking like you're gnawing on a chicken wing). You get about 6 which is not a lot but is fine for a snack. This reminds of the wings that they use... read more

good brunch place, but expensive – checked out cookshop today for brunch. we were seated immediately in the outside area although the restaurant was packed. our waitress was pretty good (and cute, but she forgot the coffee), and our water was always filled. the food was good, but nothing to write home about, seeing as brunch is a pretty easy meal to h*t a home run. i have to say the place is pricey for what you get. there are apps, all of which run about $10, we ordered a couple and they were good. brunch plates at places in... read more

Amazing brunch – As a fan of Five Points, figured I'd give its sister restaurant a shot and it lived up to the best in brunch family. A bit off the beaten path, but absolutely worth the treck. We were seated promptly at a spacious table by a pleasant hostess. Our waitress was very attentive. Loved the pastry basket- if you're not up to the entire basket, def get the sticky bun! I had the huevos rancheros and it was unbelievably flavorful. Large portion and I ate most of it. Loved my brunch here!
