Clam Chowder Soup and Grilled Cheese Sandwiches.
Magdalena M.

An excellent location and atmosphere to go to, it wasn't crowded and me and my mother we went there after visiting the area and we enjoyed our ice cranberry juices with our clam chowder soup with grilled cheese sandwiches and for dessert cheese cake top with whipped cream and strawberries.

A Thursday, 5pm, not too much availability to sit at the bar, happy hour is from 3-7 FYI (beers 5$ cocktails 6$ I believe ) - and several patrons were already tipsy and we chose seats at a high hat to avoid anyone involved in their own fun times. We ordered food and a few beers. Burger was good, we both enjoyed the fries (crispy and delicious) but the dining partner ordered a jerk chicken wrap that had no spice or flavor. I would go back, the bar food seems decent and the happy hour could be fun and affordable !

Refreshing Pint of Guinness!

Walked in Saturday 5/18 around 3:00 PM. Ordered (2) burgers medium rare served perfectly! Sweet potatoe fries were awesome. At the time we walked in there was no wait staff so we ordered at the Bar. Bar Tender did a superb job handling the bar patrons and taking care of patrons in the dining room. (Poured a tasty pint of Guinness!! As well) He also served as the Bus Boy, clearing tables!!! The padded bench along the wall was quite comfortable. Tables nicely arranged. Restrooms were clean!!!! Good crowd of Locals and Tourists all were welcomed. Great pub vibe

It was raining like crazy. We were in a need of a place to eat that had bathrooms. We were losing hope. Thankfully, Tiona came into our rescue and welcomed us with open arms. She was the sunshine to this gloomy rain and went above and beyond for us. It's not easy to be a server at a pub. We were so thankful that somebody as resilient and kind as Tiona was our server. She also happily served us hot water with lemon, and helped steady our table without us asking. Seriously, bless your heart! We love you. We also like to thank José, the chef. The fries are chef-kiss cooked to perfection. Crisp. Highly recommend the fries. We indulged-- and I got to say we especially enjoyed the onion soup. :) Hamburger is classic -- plus if you like chicken you can go for the chicken tenders or wrap. Do warn that blue cheese be strongggg, so if you like blue cheese like Thunder Jack, you are at the right place.

Grilled chicken club. Tasty!

If you hang around long enough you get to visit old places, new places and places that change names. I remember coming here when it was called "Spagetti Western" loved it then...love it now. This is the kind of pub that is really a treat. It's not a "dive bar", in fact it's quite nice and clean. Unfortunately I was there during happy hour, and popped in just around noon, to a light smattering of people. Bartender was very sweet and friendly, even when I start with my boring "I used to come in here years ago", talk. The space is a nice, classic wooden bar, with high booths in the main dining area. QR menu details even the daily specials. Most items are in the $14 to $16 range for lunch, which I find reasonable. The grilled chicken club sandwich I ordered was served on some fresh rye bread, lightly toasted w/ a side of fries. The chicken was fresh and plump and perfectly charred. I really enjoyed that sandwich. Also, while it's a small thing, I enjoy restaurants that offer some type of automated check out, like Square or Toast on a device. It just eases my day. Anyway...I'm going to come back to check same more of the items. I think there's real value here.

We met the bartender/owner Liam -- he's such a delight! The food was delicious, everyone was really kind, and the craft beer selection is AMAZING! Excited to come back for happy hour -- their deals sound really good. Found them through Seated, will definitely be back! PS - don't listen to bad reviews clearly all by one group.

Chicken club
Samantha S.

Pretty standard pub food options, nice staff. My chicken club fell apart because the bread was not grilled. It was fine but I would try something different next. They charge a credit card fee

Didn't feel like it was associated with a hotel!…read more Stopped in after dinner for a quick drink and snack/dessert. Ordered a Cadillac Margarita (Casamigos) for me + Vodka Martini (Grey Goose) for my partner + thick Fries + Slice of Chocolate Cake Drinks weren't anything special but the fries were hreat and cake hit the spot. Actually, I'm so glad we stumbled in because their cute and short food menu is PERFECTION for lovers of small bites -- crab dumplings, caviar deviled eggs, spicy tuna crispy rice, shrimp cocktail, oysters, sardines, etc... Things I dream of all in one sexy, cozy place that whisks you far away from the streets of Manhattan. Our chairs were comfy, and there were many seating areas that looked equally as inviting. The bar was gorgeous, lighting was super moody. The room was daaark and not very busy on a Friday around 8-8:30 P.M which we appreciated. Our waitress was fabulous and so friendly, great with timing and checking in!

Great experience. One Big Tip...when you make your reservation (which I would highly recommend)…read moreyou must request either drinks or meal. If you don't you could end up with a rather large dinner platter in your lap. So do the following: 1. Make a reservation 2. Request either a dinner or bar/drinks reservation l almost had to leave because it was a special birthday and we were looking at possible dinner on tiny-bar tables .

A friend and I went for dinner the other night (my first time). The place looks great with holiday…read morelights, lots of space and it's a fun atmosphere. The staff were very hospitable and helpful, giving suggestions on what to order and telling us about some of the preparation, like the brine for the fried chicken that incorporates tea for flavour. We had the Caviar Tater Tots ($29), which were tasty and a fun concept, but I thought a little pricey. We shared the fried chicken ($36), which I also thought was high, even for Tribeca. I wish there had been more than two hushpuppies, which I enjoyed. The fried chicken was very juicy and I liked the spices used in the coating. My friend was celebrating her birthday, which I told the manager about on the D.L. He had the waitress bring a big piece of the bread pudding and put a candle in it. My friend was completely surprised and chuffed. The bread pudding was dense, but not heavy and delicious. It reminded us a little of kugel. I appreciated them gifting the dessert: a very thoughtful gesture. I'd like to go back to try a cocktail, the crab dip and the lobster roll (but preferably with someone else picking up the tab).

I picked Chambers for my husband's birthday dinner primarily because of the exceptional wine…read moreprogram, but also because the food is supposed to be really good, too. It delivered on both fronts, but I really was blown away by the wine. The sheer quantity of available wines is really impressive, and the sommelier was able to recommend a rare wine that fit our interests (a fantastic, effervescent, creamy Txakoli that had lovely fruit and minerals). Later, I tried amazing ice cider. The food rundown: -Sesame pizza Bianca: complimentary bread! This was very good and quite sizable. The bottom is entirely encrusted with sesame. -Scallop crudo (rhubarb, shiso): very good and the plating was gorgeous. Meaty scallops with tangy and pungent flavors. -Snowdance chicken (spinach, sherry, thyme): Super tender, crispy-skinned chicken in a savory sherry sauce. -Sea bass (asparagus, hollandaise): I was surprised at how remarkably well this dish worked. The asparagus was so good with the rich, buttery sauce. Definitely a smaller portion, but the chicken was huge so it balanced out. -Potatoes with ramps: Yum. Served hashbrown-style and the ramps were added as little sauce dollops. I loved the space, and by that I mean the ambience and also the literal amount of space we had to ourselves. We got to stretch out in a roomy corner booth. The room featured a lot of exposed brick and grey and utilitarian ceilings, but it manages to be cozy all the same.

Chambers is a charming, intimate restaurant with a warm, compact dining room, an ample bar area,…read moreand even two chef's-kitchen bar seats that give the room a little extra theater. Unfortunately, the food never really lived up to the setting. The meal started with the scallops with sweet corn and espelette. They were fine, which ended up being one of the more positive assessments of the night. My father had the Peekytoe crab with peach and brioche, which was also okay. My mother had the Norwich Meadows carrots with yogurt and carrot-top pesto, and that was where the meal started feeling flat. Nothing was technically offensive, but there was very little excitement or depth to the plate. Portions were consistently small, which became harder to ignore as the meal went on. For mains, my father ordered the heritage pork sausage with shrimp, Jimmy Nardello peppers and cilantro. The dish only really came together when you got the sausage and pepper in the same bite, but there was very little of it, and on its own the sausage was not especially compelling. I ordered the Snowdance chicken with spinach, sherry and thyme, which is apparently one of the restaurant's signature dishes. My father and I switched halfway through because he liked the chicken more than I did. I found it surprisingly weak: essentially a pounded chicken preparation that was bland, average and nowhere near what I would expect from a signature entrée at this price. My mother had the housemade bucatini with zucchini, Tarentaise and mint. It was strange rather than satisfying, and none of us particularly liked it. Service was much better than the food. Our server was good, and the secondary service was even better. They did forget one of my father's drinks, but replaced it without issue. I still left 22% because the kitchen's problems were not the server's fault. Dessert finally produced the best dish of the night: the mascarpone with phyllo, cinnamon caramel and lemon pistachios. That was genuinely good. I then figured I would order the cheese because, at minimum, how badly can you mess up cheese? The answer was not badly, exactly, but absurdly. The "cheese and crackers" course was two small pieces of Appalachian cheese for the table. Two pieces. For three people. That pretty much captured the meal. The restaurant has obvious Gramercy Tavern DNA in its restraint, seasonal ingredients and minimalist plating, but this felt like a much less successful version of that philosophy. When this style works, simplicity feels precise and confident. Here, too often, it just felt sparse, underdeveloped and expensive. For three people, with appetizers, entrées, three cocktails, one glass of wine, dessert, cheese and tip, the total came to roughly $472. At that price, "fine" is not enough.

Brought a friend here who was visiting from out of town. She was looking for a true NY cocktail…read moreexperience, and I immediately knew this would give her that upscale NYC cocktail bar vibe while still being a bit more "low key." Our cocktails were delicious, music was on point, service didn't feel rushed at all. I was feeling adventurous and asked for a boozy gin-based cocktail.. loved it! My friend really enjoyed her drink as well. At $19 per cocktail, it's not the cheapest in the area, but also not the priciest either. Would absolutely recommend Split Eights to anyone looking for craft cocktails in the area.

We came in on a Friday evening and it was pretty quiet inside. After we were sat down upstairs, it took a long time for our waitress to come to take our order. We got the Butterscotch flip, Getaway driver, and Big trouble. These drinks were not it. Although the prices are okay($19 each), they definitely need some improvement. All three had very strong flavors that were not balanced with the rest of the drink. After we finished our drinks, we waited an especially long time for the waitress to come back, check on us, and give us our bill. It was especially frustrating because we were the only ones in the bar at this point and we could hear them chatting downstairs. Overall, both service and the drinks need improvement. Can't really recommend Split Eights over other cocktail bars around.
