Chelsea Living Room

I recently came here for a holiday party, so my experience will be a little different than if I just came in as a customer. I have to say overall I had a really great time here, most of it will be because of the event I was at, but the drinks were absolutely delicious and the small bites we had were very tasty. I'm not sure if it's on their regular menu but try to order their Winter White Cosmo. I honestly think every bar should have this as a Cosmo option. It was absolutely delicious. Very well-balanced, not too acidic and just sweet enough to make a good cocktail. I don't drink coffee, but everyone around me seemed to really enjoy their espresso martinis, I didn't notice they had a great layer of foam which shows that it is a good espresso martini! The space is very lounge like. Dark lights with cozy little booths, and seating areas. This would be a great spot for a date or a cocktail lounge to hit up with the girls. Personally, I would stay in the room with the bar, that was my favorite area, but the back seating area was also very cute.

My friend was visiting from out of town and brought me here from a tiktok recommendation. Walking in here felt like I walked out of New York through a portal and into a basement lounge of a 3 star hotel in Nevada and not in a cool kischy way. Even with a reservation we had to wait 20 min to be seated.Inside: Super dark club vibe, music was WAY too loud to hear anyone speak, and we had the slowest, most inattentive service ever.Food: Wagyu toast** appetizer was stale. Steak came out cold and wasn't cut. Cocktails too sweet. I would probably recommend this place to someone who I really didn't like.

I went with a friend to CLR based upon being "influenced" from someone I followed on instagram. When you first walk in the ambiance is very inviting and warm. Love the nicely lit dining room and the booth seating. We ordered cocktails which were very tasty. We had the Pornstar and Raspberry seasonal cocktail. They lacked in alcohol but nice to taste. We decided just to have apps as I had been dying to try the $49 mozzarella stick with caviar. So this is how it went with the food Shrimp cocktail - tasteless and rubbery Mozzarella stick - tasteless absolutely NOT worth getting. My local pizzeria is way better. Fromage with baguettes - I have had way better from Trader Joe's. Fries - I found a hair cooked into the first one I bit into. The food was so underwhelming. They waitress was very nice and friendly. They didn't charge me for the fries I didn't ask for this but it was very much appreciated. I can't help but think they pay the influencers to go in to hype up the place. It's definitely a one and done for me. EDIT - Kendall F thank you for your reply. I actually just watched the said influencer at Chelsea Living Room on a Tik Tok from Friday and she mentions "the owner is sat at the table with us" hmmmmm interesting!!!!

The Chelsea Living Room is fabulous! They offer a low lit stylish dining experience with a classy touch. The vibe is elegant and sophisticated, yet approachable and relaxing.The menu is thoughtfully curated with a selection of dishes that blend contemporary flavors with classic comfort. Theres an emphasis is on high-quality fresh ingredients here, a variety of seasonally inspired dishes and drinks, and a balanced mix of shareable and hearty meals.We tried an array of their small plates and were pleasantly surprised with both the presentation and unique combination of flavors. Although some dishes are mid at best for the price, I firmly believe you're paying for the ambiance here. We were satisfied and glad to have tried this sleek new spot, but the price was simply not worth the apps we enjoyed. Recommend trying this spot for a one time go, but, personally I won't be coming back any time soon.

My honest review is this restaurant is a totally over hyped "instagram famous" restaurant. The ambiance is good it's def a vibe and the service is good, but the dishes are seriously lacking flavor and quality.We started with the viral motz stick. It was lacking! Didn't taste like much to be honest. The breading had no flavor and was pretty hard, the cheese was just whatever and honestly the caviar didn't really add much. For $50 for one stick this should have been an epic bite and it was just meh.The cacio e Pepe pot pie was lacking chicken! Like seriously like no chicken. The sauce was good, but it was just sauce and carrots with dough. Underwhelming to say the least. We ordered an espresso martini which wasn't the best and another Tito's martini which also wasn't that great. For the price point this restaurant should be flavorful and it just wasn't. I gave 2 stars because I didn't just come for a vibe I came for the food.

After getting nicely invited back for a fully comped meal, I have to say Chelsea Living Room made up entirely for their mistakes. I came back with two girlfriends of mine and we got the crispy cheese & caviar appetizer, hamachi crudo as well as the pigs in a blanket. Both were phenomenal and were presented very nicely. We then got two orders of lobster pasta, and the cacio e Pepe pot pie and Caesar salad. All were spectacular. They were well attentive to make sure our water was full and that we had enough soda/if we wanted refills. We got the brownie and sundae desserts and both were very enjoyable. The inside is well kept and clean as well as cozy. Happy to say we will be back again now.

Really cute new spot nestled in a garden level space. We came for drinks and bites, not a long visit. Drinks were solid, this is definitely a great cocktail experience. They have a thoughtful and creative cocktail menu. Bites were good. Oysters were fine. Martini dip was excellent. Roasted carrots were a little under roasted, hard to cut with the knives we had, but tasty. The staff were very very friendly and warm which I am a big fan of. Still a few little service hiccups but typical newly opened place kind of stuff. Probably a 4.3-4.5ish but we're rounding up since they're brand spanking new. I would consider coming back for dinner but I do like this as kind of a first stop of the night place as well. Would be great for a birthday or engagement party, or even a corporate event.

As soon as we sat down my friend who was sitting inside the booth got a small shard of glass in her hand and was bleeding (an extremely small amount), however the staff didn't do much to acknowledge this besides do a quick sweeping of the booth when we brought it to their attention. The oysters and fried cheese stick were good but nothing to write home about. My favorite dish was probably the salad we got (not pictured), with shrimp, tomato, avocado, string beans and a soft egg. I will say the pasta with caviar was delicious but I'm not sure it was worth $98. Wanted to love the tempura cod sandwich but found the piece of fish to be very small. The potato wedges that accompanied the sandwich were extremely salty to the point where we couldn't even eat them. I wanted to absolutely love this restaurant, but I don't think the money was worth it.

Thibault and Jesus are the best bartenders. Our experience was 10/10. Best drinks and service in NY!

If I could give this place a zero I would. For reference me and my whole table were of age to drink!! Don't bother making a reservation with people in their early 20s if you don't want to be rudely questioned and have your ids bent by the bouncer. Wasn't even offered a drink menu when being seated and when asking the server for one was told "the bouncer said you can't serve alcohol to your table" Extremely disrespectful and rude service.
