My plan was simple, go to Cheeseboat on Friday night, order a Khachapuri and some Khinkali, and call it an evening. When I got to the Williamsburg location and observed the door locked, lights off, and the interior like nobody was there (with no indication there would be no one coming), I was crestfallen. This restaurant defined popular Georgian food. It is one of the reasons I make a trek out to a neighborhood that I would not otherwise dare set foot in for more than an extended period of time. When I observed they also have a Manhattan location, I figured, okay, try them out, what the hell, maybe it will be fine. Three subway lines later (okay, I could have done it in two), and here is the result. Firstly, the service is amazing. The entire wait staff is warm, welcoming, intelligent, and passionate about what is served out of their kitchen. Liza may not be working here (or at least was not there during the time I was here), but the service is still first rate. Secondly, the interior space is more intimate than the Williamsburg location. It feels more Manhattan-y than Williamsburg-y, if that makes sense. Now that I got the non-food stuff out of the way, here comes the part you came for, the meal. I ordered five things here. You will see why later, it will make sense to you by the end. Khachapuri: My new favorite snack is a must at any Georgian restaurant. To say this is a calzone or a stromboli is being condescending to this lovely cheeseboat (had to do it). It is a little on the small side, but the cheese and texture is beautiful and I never once had to pick up a fork to eat it. Your server will even mix everything for you if you ask. Grade: A- Khinkali: Six to an order, just like at the Williamsburg location, they are tasty, but it is looser. They fall apart too quickly upon that first nibble. I know not to eat the knot, because when my server took my plate away after I was done eating them, he smiled wryly at me, knowing I did it right. Grade: B Chakapuli: Probably the weakest thing I ordered, the lamb is tasty, but also super fatty and super tender. I deliberately did not eat the sauce and some of the other bits because of the richness and the onions that were at the bottom of the dish. The fact it comes with two nice pieces of bread helps mitigate things, but I played it smart by just taking the big stuff and using the bread as a binder. Grade: B- Kharcho: A staple at any Georgian restaurant, this is essentially Lagman soup, but they use rice instead of noodles as their carb weapon of choice. The lamb is beautiful and the broth has a beautiful aroma and fragrance. It also comes with two nice pieces of bread to really soak in more flavor. This balanced out the out of balance Chakapuli. Grade: B+ Georgian White Wine Flight: Yes, I got a flight, four glasses of the restaurant's finest white wines. I had a glass for each of the meals that I ate. Each wine has its own character. My server even gave me a suggestion on how to go about drinking them. I know very little about wine, so I will not go much further than this. However, each wine I tasted, tasted better than the previous one. I do know Georgia is known for its wine, and by the end of the flight, I was starting to see why... maybe. Grade: A- That is not all. I also ordered a Honey Cake for dessert, because I know all too well that honey is the great equalizer in all things savory. This will put it all in its place, like Godzilla restoring the balance in an inhumane world. Honey Cake: One bite told me all I needed to know. It is outstanding. Well balanced, terrific flavor, outstanding texture, ridiculously, out of bounds in terms of how it should look and feel. This dessert may have ruined all things dessert for me for the time being. It is simply the best way to end a meal, and to go out on a high note. Grade: A+ -- Some of you may be saying, why would you do this? Why would you go all the way out here for this? 1.) Because I can, 2.) The experience is largely outstanding, and 3.) It is not always about those two, it is the adventure, and eating what I ate here gave me a sense of adventure, from start to finish. Stay classy Cheeseboat, I know you will be just fine until the Williamsburg location reopens, if it ever does. If not, your Manhattan location will do you justice. read more

Food is excellent but HEAVY. This is a great place to come with a group and try stuff. As a solo? The blinchiki khorchit, crepe with meat, that's pan fried was fresh made. Burnt butter or oil is not my fave, for smell or taste. They were a bit over seared in the pan. Without some mtsnili, pickled or brined veggies, something more acidic or probiotic, like pickled cabbage, fermented cucumbers, pickled green tomatoes, Jonjoli, or even Garlic, peppers, or wild herbs in vinegar,as a contrast on the plate? The dish became monotonous, heavy, and uninteresting, after a few bites. The Kazbegi Lager is very popular in Georgia, and it helped a bit, but it's not a particularly remarkable beer. Harmony and balance makes great food better. People come for the cheeseboats, the restaurant namesake, and khinkali, the classic soup dumplings. Most of the menu is meant to be shared. Perhaps best to return with 4-5 other people to properly experience it. Service was pleasant, and prompt. Waiter should probably ask if you want to take extra home. There's a lightly methane odor that is unfortunately second nature to old buildings in Hell's Kitchen. Doesn't help the food's appeal much either. read more

Didn't know that there was Georgian food in Hell's Kitchen so I was excited to try. My friends and I walked in on a weekday night without a reservation and was seated immediately which was very nice. - Khinkali Soup Dumplings - Great dumplings and dare I say I like the broth of this more than the broth of traditional XLBs? The broth was so rich and oily full of meaty flavor, I really did wish they packed more into each dumpling. - Steak'n'Mushroom Cheeseboat - The cheeseboats here are actually very good because the dough is very crispy on the outside but soft and fluffy on the inside. They also pack the cheeseboat with so much cheese in it, lactose intolerant people should run. I did think however, there wasn't that many steak pieces, although tender, as I think there was around 6 small thin pieces of meat on the cheeseboat. - Honeycomb Brie Cheeseboat - Although this cheeseboat was very good like the steak and mushroom one, I really couldn't justify the price. This ingredients in here was essentially honey, walnuts, cheese, more cheese, and bread and it was over $20. I did really enjoy the walnut and honey mixture although I couldn't really taste the brie in this one. - Buratta Salad - Great salad, I surprisingly liked the vinagrette although I wish the burrata was bigger. Overall, it was a great meal I just thought everything was a bit expensive given that the primary ingredients were cheese and flour. read more

I have never had Georgian food before. My family enjoyed our meal here. We shared the kartvelian salad, steak n' mushroom cheeseboat, lamb chakapuli, and the lula-khabab. All dishes were delicious. The steak n'mushroom cheeseboat had to have been my family's favorite. The bread boat held together the steak, mushrooms, and cheese. Every bite was savory and enjoyable. Our server was friendly and help answer our questions. I would definitely return here again. read more

This was such a cozy spot on a rainy day. It was a Sunday around 2pm and we were alone for the most of our dining. The steak 'n mushroom cheeseboat is a comforting meal without being too heavy. Comes with a really yummy green dipping sauce too. Easily requested a refill. The shkmeruli chicken is really memorable entree mainly because the fresh bread pairs so deliciously with the creamy sauce. I could make entire meal of that combo alone. I wish the chicken is more seasoned, but nonetheless it is cooked well. Very kind workers too. Had to get their attention a couple times though. read more

I have been to every Georgian restaurant in the city and Cheeseboat supersedes them all. Wonderful portions at a lower price than any other spot. The borscht was wonderfully seasoned and contained a multitude of vegetables in it. Lobio was perfect but maybe a drop less of oil would be preferred. The pickled vegetables flavored it amazingly. Leek cheeseboat was super savory and very fluffy bread perfect for dipping into the cheese. Overall an amazing experience and I was perfectly surprised at the quality and craft of the food read more

I thouroughly enjoyed this place. It was a nice cozy spot that served what felt like comfort food. Georgian red wine sampler - this was good. It had a variety of wines that went from semi-dry to semi-sweet to almost port-like. Very tasty. Kartvelian salad - this was good but was essentially a Greek salad. Kebab - just an average kebab but delicious Lamb chakapuli - a very hearty lamb stew. I likee this and it hit the spot on a cold day. Steak and mushroom cheeseboat - Lots of cheese with tasty mushrooms and beef all piled into a bread boat. Very lovely. I wish they had this kind of place where we are in California. This place was a positive introduction to Georgian food for me. Thanks to this place, I'd definetaly like to try other Georgian dishes if the opportunity arises. read more

Food 4, happiness and customer service 5. This is a great stop after a Broadway show like we did. We got the traditional cheese boat and the Shkmeruli Chicken dish. The Shkmeruli Chicken was good. The sauce is incredible. I love dipping the bread into it. The chicken itself was a little rubbery. It all looks good, but the chicken didn't really quite hit. We got additional bread and I'm glad we did for three dollars to dip it all into that delicious creamy sauce. Delectable. The traditional cheese boat is so fun. They mix it right in front of you. It is served hot. The bread is delectably soft and airy. The cheese inside and dipping the bread that you rip off into itself is such a fun, creative dish. Really friendly smiley waiters. When walking out I asked about all the pickle jars and they gave me two to try. Very unique flavors and somewhat bitter or vinegar which I really enjoyed. read more

I made a reservation here after a Broadway show and glad I did; it was busy! I love the graphics, neon lighting, decor inside this place. It was very weird (in a good way!). I ordered the Bacon for a side and Pickled Vegetables. The bacon was thick and delicious. The pickled vegetables were good as well. They also brought out Grilled Vegetables which I definitely did not order... but I thought they got it confused with the Pickled Vegetables so we ate it. My husband ordered a Chicken Cheeseboat; we do not remember the name of it but he loved it. I ordered the traditional cheeseboat. They mixed it up for me at my table and it was delicious... so cheesy, and garlicky. I wanted to try the Soup Dumplings but this place was pretty pricy so maybe next time. The staff were all very friendly but I do think our server was new. He charged us for the Grilled Vegetables for $16, when we really only ordered the Pickled Vegetables for $9 and then brought out 3 cheeseboats when we only ordered 2 (Luckily we were only charged for 2) First time having Georgian food and I like it. I would probably try it again. I would like to give this place a 3.5, but since there are no halfs... I will pick 4. read more

This is my 2nd time here and I loved it even more than the 1st time. I brought 2 friends with me who would've never had Georgian food if I had not forced them to and they LOVED it!! They actually told me they plan on going back because it's so good. Our plates were basically licked clean! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful with making decisions on cocktails to try and foods to share. We ordered family style so that everyone could have a try. We ordered both salads (burrata and Kartvelian salads). I'm quite picky about salads and both were absolutely scrumptious! I would actually go there just for the salads and if you knew me, you know that is something I never ever say. Truly, this food is delicious and if Georgian is out of your comfort zone, you won't be disappointed! read more

My husband and I are big fans of Georgian food, so we wanted to try another of the city's Georgian restaurants when we were visiting this past weekend. We were in the area and super excited to try Cheeseboat. And we thought it was great. We had a reservation for a very late lunch (2:30pm) on Sunday. A reservation at that time definitely wasn't necessary (there were only a few other people eating at that time); we were seated immediately. I was immediately charmed - a neon light in the shape of a khachapuri (the "cheeseboat"), cat/Georgian food art, fun posters and decor... Because we hadn't been to Cheeseboat before, we decided to order the classics - Khinkali soup dumplings (6 dumplings of ground beef, Georgian spices, and herbs and served with a traditional Georgian garlic sauce - Niortskali); Kartvelian Salad (tomato, cucumber, red onions, cilantro, herbs, ground walnuts, sunflower seed oil, and Georgian spices); and their traditional "cheeseboat" (Adjaruli khachapuri - cheese, egg yolk, and a pat of butter in a bread boat). We liked everything. The khachapuri was pretty classic and delicious, definitely a food that makes you want to go home and read a book and take a nap under a blanket. The khinkali were also good - and I've had some versions that weren't that great - with plenty of soup and well-flavored filling. This might be weird, but the salad kind of blew my mind and might have been my favorite dish. If you'd said to me before I ate at Cheeseboat, "Do you think making a salad dressing of crushed walnuts is a good idea?" I'd have say no - why would you want mushy walnuts as a dressing? Well, you learn something new everyday, because this salad was incredibly delicious and special. And the walnut dressing was the highlight - it was incredibly flavorful and gave the salad a great texture, too! We had a couple of cocktails, which were both great - mine incorporated chacha (also called Georgian brandy or grape vodka - it's considered Georgia's national drink), which I loved. The service was great, as well. I appreciated that the staff asked if we knew how to eat the dumplings, because I've watched people cut into them with a fork and knife on a plate before and it was one of the saddest things I've seen in a restaurant. They were really helpful, friendly, and attentive. Overall, it just a really good meal - good service, a comfortable restaurant, and great food. I'd be happy to return. read more

First time having Georgian food, and I'm sold! Restaurant is tucked away in Hell's Kitchen. It feels a bit like a casual jazz bar with some fluorescent lighting, mixture of Georgian cultural pieces scattered throughout, fun cat graphics, and a 'how to' comic about how one properly devours a cheese boat. The music selection was a fun mix of contemporary funk + jazz which added substantially to my personal experience. In terms of food, oh my goodness- the roasted chicken in cream sauce had my heart and stomach from the beginning. I couldn't stop dipping the bread in the sauce even after the cheese boat came. The meat ball cheese boat was decadent and incredibly flavorful. Between those two items, it is the perfect amount of food for two moderately hungry people who skipped lunch. Last thing - I didn't get drinks but really appreciated the notable support of Ukraine vocalized by the drink menu. Overall, 10/10 experience!!! Would recommend! read more

I've been wanting to try this place for the longest time because of the cheeseboats. This was also my first time trying georgian food and i was not disappointed. Out of the things I tried, the magic mushroom cheeseboat and the kebab were the best. The eggplant flight was also good with some very unique flavors and spices but a little on the salty side. The soup dumplings were alright as well as the lamb. But the cheeseboat was to die for and i would gladly come back and try the others. Our server was incredible and very helpful and kind. Not once did I ever feel like I was being rushed out of the restaurant and the whole experience was very homey. read more

Ordered the Chakapuli for lunch and this was absolutely disgusting. Either the person serving this did not bother to mix the stew at all or they have no idea what Chakapuli is. I was given 0 broth and just a half inch of rendered lamb fat along with large 1 inch cubes of fat with some extremely tough lamb. read more

The food here is incredible. I've had khachapuri (traditional Georgian cheese boats) at several other restaurants but I've never found another place that does such a unique take on it. Every cheese boat I've ever ordered here has been amazing, and all the other dishes have been fabulous - the khinkali soup dumplings, shkmeruli chicken, and eggplant roulette, to name a few. The magic mushroom cheeseboat is a can't-miss, same with the honeycomb and Brie (I'm not even vegetarian), though you can't go wrong with any of them, they're all so flavorful. The cocktails are also really good, at least all the ones I've tried have been, and the service is great. read more

The service was spectacular everyone was so kind and explained everything about the process of how the egg gets mixed in upon arrival to the table. They have such a cute interior.

Cheeseboat was a welcoming sweet spot. The staff greeted us upon our arrival and offered us any table to our liking. We were there just for a nibble so we ordered the smoked Gouda cheeseboat a glass of Georgian rosé and a Georgian beer. The cheeseboat arrived and it was stuffed with a ton of melted smoked Gouda and topped with scallions. The server explained that we should tear it apart and use the bread to dip into the cheese. It was a great dish. A huge portion! I'll definitely be back to check out the other items on the menu. read more

Went here with a friend because we wanted to try some Georgian food. The restaurant itself was clean and aesthetic. Darker more mature vibe. Our server was wonderful. Super attentive, friendly, and good at explaining the dishes to us. We appreciated learning about the ingredients and techniques to make the food. The food itself was great! We ordered the classic Cheeseboat, Khinkali Soup Dumplings, Shkmeruli Chicken, and they brought us the eggplant roulette on the house. Can't go wrong the cheeseboat-- warm carbs and cheese. The soup dumplings were good but personally not my fave. The wrapper felt almost mushy? I'm used to super thin wrappers on dumplings, so even though I know it's supposed to be thick, it felt wrong. The cilantro sauce it came with, however, was wonderful. The sauce on the chicken was also really yummy and the dish came with fresh bread that was wonderful dipped in the extra sauce. The eggplant roulette was absolutely amazing. We both agreed it was our favorite. It has a ton of flavor and was really complex. Never would have ordered it but genuinely so good. Overall loved our dinner and would be back. read more

This was my very first experience tasting Georgian cuisine, and it was a fantastic experience! This is a lovely restaurant in Hell's Kitchen on 9th! My waiter was very friendly with a big smile. He was attentive and courteous. Life died to try a stew made out of crushed kidney beans. It came in a good sized crock and was sizzling hot. It came with a side salad that was like a slaw. And, there were 2 slices of hard, homemade bread for dipping! The stew was incredibly delicious, and I ate every bit of it and all the yummy bread. I would love to return and try other items on the menu. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Manhattan. Come to Cheesboard in Hell's Kitchen!

This was my second time at Cheeseboat in Hell's Kitchen. I came a year ago, and I was thinking about it ever since. The last time, we ordered the Pkhali Sampler, eggplant ,Georgian Lula-Kebab, Eggplant Roulette, Shkmeruli Chicken, and a variety of cheeseboats, the Napoleon for desert. Everything was delicious. Surprisingly, other than the cheeseboats, all the food was relatively light. This time, we were a smaller group with three small women. We ordered just our favorites, the Shkmeruli Chicken and a couple of cheese boats. The Pkhali Sampler was good, but given we have limited capacity, we decided to skip it this time. We loved the Shkmeruli Chicken so much last time, we ordered two , so we could take leftovers home. For the cheese boats, we chose the steak and mushroom (delicious, savory) and the HoneyComb with Brie with Walnuts (delicious with a slightly sweet taste). The service was friendly and good. Food came relatively quickly. The restaurant and atmosphere is like the food, all about comfort. read more

We were introduced to this restaurant in a walking tour. The simple cheeseboat was so fresh and presented in a way that was so appetizing that we needed to come back. Later that evening we came for dinner. It did not disappoint. The staff seemed to take pride in their food and service and even though we're in a restaurant, it felt homemade in the sense that things felt as if they had just been prepared. I love dumplings but hate it when they are too doughy or bland. That was not the case at all. The meat was flavorful, the broth was possibly the best part and the skin was thin and complimented the meat. read more

We decided to try a cuisine we never tried before, so after doing some research we settled on Georgian style cuisine. Cheeseboat offers a nice variety on their menu. We had the grilled eggplant appetizer (served cold), the mushroom cheeseboat (served with an herb style green sauce) and the lamb chakapuli (stew) and everything was so flavorful. The cheeseboat bread was delicious and very filling. We enjoyed the unique spices the food is cooked with, nothing like we ever tasted. The service was excellent from our server Giorgi. He was very friendly and accommodating. We have to go back again because there was so much more we wanted to try. The ambiance is very chill and relaxing with good music playing. read more

I've had better Georgian, but Cheeseboat kinda wins for the awesome service. Some staff are super friendly, while others are hysterically snarky. It makes for a fun meal. The traditional Cheeseboat is tasty but much smaller than at other places. The Khinkali were big and plump, but it's not really possible to eat them without spilling the soup, so they should really be served with spoons. Georgian wine lovers might be disappointed to find only one type of amber wine on the list (Mtsvane Qvevri), but it goes for $15 a glass, which is practically free in these inflationary times. So...win? read more

I tried to eat slowly, but I couldn't. It was so good! My husband and I shared the Kartvelian Salad (Fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, green onion, and red onions with fresh cilantro, herbs, ground walnuts, homemade sunflower seed oil & Georgian spices) and a steak and mushroom cheeseboat. You can see by the pictures that I didn't even let my husband take pictures before I started to eat. There was plenty of food -- we left feeling good and not too stuffed. I COULD have eaten the cheeseboat by myself, but I would not have been happy afterward. The server was friendly and attentive. We came on a Wednesday around 8. It was raining, so the place wasn't crowded, just a good mix of people enjoying good food. The atmosphere was nice, with a cool mural that our waiter said represented a famous Georgian poem. My only regret -- we're in NYC for only a week, and I found this gem on day 4. BOOOOOO. I want to go back and try everything. read more

We were looking for some comfort food and found it in this place. Mind you, this is a very casual spot, but the food is more than convincing. Keep in mind that the portions are substantial, so each of the dishes can be easily shared, depending on the level of appetite at the table. That said, I am still glad I got the khachapuri all to myself - the cheese mixed with the egg yolk and that soft bread was just the comfort food I needed on a cold December night. Why not 5 points? The service was ehm confusing and confused at times, with the food coming out at random and lengthy intervals, the need for reminders on what was ordered, etc. But honestly, the food is still worth it. read more
