    Solid spot for some lunch tacos. We did not make a reservation and walked in with three people, and were easily able to get a table. The food itself wasn't truly mindblowing, but it wasn't bad either. Definitely a solid spot for lunch!

    Came here for brunch and found the food to be decent. It didn't really blow me away or impress me that much. I think the price of the dishes was good but they also reflect the quality of the food that you get. The drink I ordered was pretty strong though which I was happy about lol. The service was great and attentive. We chose to sit outside since it was good weather but probably would have preferred inside since there were a couple of mosquitoes and there was no wind so the air felt kind of stale. Not their fault though. Probably wouldn't come back and would opt to try a new place instead.

    I like the vibe in here, but the food could definitely be better. The prices are too high for what you get and if you come in for happy hour you only get 2 tacos for the price vs 3 on the regular menu. The food is alright. Nothing special nor all that good.

    3.3 stars. Cozy Mexican bar and restaurant close to the Stone Street bars downtown that draws a happy hour and drinks crowd looking to unwind after the workday. Food is decent and affordable for the neighborhood, staff are friendly. It's got a dim, warm ambiance, though it can get a little loud when full. On a Wednesday without reservations my friend and I were seated at the bar immediately. Passed menus and water, the staff asked if we had any questions. The menu was pretty simple apps, entrees and sides on one side, drinks and cocktails on the other. We ordered: - Empanadas $15 choice of chicken, pork or beef: potato, sweet peppers, anion, salsa verde cruda, salsa endiablada. We chose beef and were happy with our choice, the shell was crispy and slightly flaky while retaining juicy flavor inside. Solid app. Of the sauces the red one had a little kick, the green one was a little sweeter. - California Bowl $16: corn, avocado, queso fresco, cherry tomatoes, iceberg lettuce, cucumbers, jicama, red onion, ranch dressing, served in an edible taco bowl. My friend has this and I didn't try it. - Shrimp Tacos $22: tempura shrimp, refried beans, pepper jack cheese, coleslaw, chile de arbol aioli. The tacos were kinda mid, the tempura shrimp were cooked ok though not great; there were sufficient toppings included though the spiciness of the aioli (which came drizzled on top) blew out the flavor of everything else. I can see how this place is a chill hang, the waitstaff and bartenders checked in periodically, and were easygoing and friendly. I might come back if around the neighborhood again.

    Came here for bottomless brunch for $37. Half of my table partook (I did not), and I had the burrito. - Chicken Burrito Loco, (2.5/5): not exactly my favorite burrito... the chicken was dry, the burrito was primarily dry potato, and the whole burrito was lacking in flavor. There was hot sauce on the side, but it did not save the burrito :( - Chips & Guac, (4.5/5): pretty good! Nice and spicy and it was mixed perfectly. Tasted fresh and the chips had a nice hold to them. Staff were however, very attentive and friendly.

    Was in the neighborhood with 4 kids. We were seated right away in the back. but OMG it was so damn dark we had to use flashlights to look at the menu that already left a bad taste in my mouth. Two kids ordered quesadillas another just rice and beans the teenager got a steak burrito which she said was good. My husband orders steak tacos they were so small like tapas. I got the nachos with chicken they were an 8 out of 10. I got a margarita didn't love it so didn't get another . There was a sign as us about FREE churros it ended up being once you leave a google review you got free churros. Talk about putting you in a spot. So I let my husband do it since im a YELP girl lol Wr had two extra adults meet us last minute. the tables next to us where empty not sure why they didn't just add the tables and had us all squeeze in which was a bit annoying especially since they also orders food. They have a beautiful garden but it was quiet chilly for that.

    I enjoyed this spot! It wasn't that far from the hotel I was staying at. The food was really good and they played good music.

    We randomly found this restaurant after disembarking from the ferry. It was only a short walk from the ferry terminal. The restaurant is an average size, and uniquely designed with an intimate atmosphere. Service was just okay, nothing bad but also nothing that stood out. Portion sizes were small and food was average.

    Joshua was absolutely amazing! Gave the best recommendations! Chips and guac were amazing!! Their tinga taco were 10/10!! Margs 10/10!!

    Amazing Mexican restaurant! Such gorgeous interior with charming lights. The service is amazing. The host and the waiter Arcenio were great and very attentive. We ordered the burrito loco, spicy queso fries and the pozole de pollo. My friend said the pozole reminded her of homemade quality pozole! The menu is very creative and something for everybody. This isn't my first time here and definitely not my last!!! 1000/10

    Love this fun Mexican spot right next to the ferry and subway! Came here for happy hour and enjoyed their house margaritas and got the cauliflower tacos! Friendly and prompt service and great food! I'll have to come back for their brunch, but a nice choice and convenient location for a quick drink/ apps

    Is there a happy hour? If so what genre of music is played?

    I was there for a Brunch (til 3pm) and the music was hip hop dance music from 90's on. I loved the live DJ and his music! (It was also VERY loud. So be prepared to lose your voice.)

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.

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.
