Not a good choice. – Very dispointing, to say the least. I felt like I was on a cattle truck, way too crowded, all that was needed was a cattle prod. I had been here before and was not impressed but I gave it another chance and I will not be going back. Lousy food, pushy service (when you can find you waiter) and a crowd of bridge and tunnel folks hoping for a good time. You can do better.
LAMB SHANK! – My office is near the restaurant and I have made it a regular haunt. Great for clients or friends. Food was good to start and has only improved. Bright and spacious for lunch or brunch and a bit glamorous in the eve what more could you want? You might expect attitude from the sexy staff but they've all been friendly, even on crazy busy nights. Don't stop at the lamb shank, take it all the way home with the coconut cake.
Objection! – Surprise, surprise. Some friends asked me to go here (they like it cause they have a kid in a stroller and the place is roomy.) My friends parenting issues aside, I was not looking forward to going after reading a couple of reviews on this site however it was nice. Great mix of people (staff included) friendly, and the food tasty. Wine list has a nice range and some good inexpensive bottles.
Pass the Rolaids – No No No No! Really BAD food and lousy service. There are many other places to go in the area, don't embarass yourself by picking Elmo, your friends will never let you live it down!
Another prententios Wanna Be – Our expereince here was terrible. The food was substandard, wine list bad and the waitstaff and manager were beyond terrible, they were rude and dismissive. Not the place to go and spend YOUR hard earned dollars....
Great ambiance, horrible service – The atmosphere was great, very south beach, nouveau, blue-ish tinge to everything. The service was horrible, the worst I've had in years - and the food was over cooked and over dressed. I won't be going back!
elNO – With so many better restaurants in NY, don't even bother with this mediocre (at best) one. The food is so-so (the meatloaf is so bad!!!). The service is marginal. We had to wait over an hour for our table after we were told that it would be ready in 15-20 minutes. The hostess told us it was OUR fault because we didn't make reservations. Well, then tell us it will be an hour and don't lie to us!!! Our server was nice, but she was too busy to be attentive to our table. We waited 15 minutes for her to even acknowledge us... read more
Great Party Place!!! – I had a group of friends here on a Saturday night, and we were running 20 minutes late. We didn't get the normal New York hassle, our table was still set up and ready, and everyone from the hostesses to the bartenders to the waiters and waitresses were very nice and funny! The food was great-- a twist on comfort foods that we all love-- try the mac and cheese, or the cheesey bread. The drinks were fabulous too-- yummy Cosmos, Mojitos, and Raspberry lemonade! I recommend this place to anyone who's out t... read more
Me like Elmo – The space is funky, the people are pretty and the food isn't all that bad. The vegetarian selections are quite good: the soba noodles w/cashes and tofu was just the right side, and not too salty. The mac and cheese is delightful. The salads are all light and good. But no breadbasket? The Duncan Hines cake was on the small side, but good anyway. The waitstaff was friendly and attentive. My favorite restaurant in Chelsea.
