Always wonderful, Kevin is the best! A hidden gem in Tribeca. Food and drinks on point, and the history of the place. You feel transported to another time and place.

Always a wonderful meal here! We had the Lobster with pasta and the caesar salad and the cheese with bread appetizer. Love the blonde female bartender - ate at the bar and she was great with her recommendations and the rest of the team and Jules at the podium was top notch also!

Absolutely delicious dinner. The fennel salad is not be missed. My daughter and I split the pork chop for two and it was outstanding. Tender flavorful and not greasy in spite of being breaded and pan fried. We split the Tiramisu for dessert and the wine pairing was perfect. Loved our waiter as he was low key, friendly and efficient without being overbearing. Ambience was also perfect, golden light, beautiful bar, noise level was low but energetic. I’m getting hungry writing about the evening!

Spectacular every time. Highlights of this visit were the 40 oz ribeye, the campo rosso chicories, cranberry beans, and, of course, the chocolate trifle for dessert. There's never a bad, or even a remotely disappointing bite. It's also so refreshing to dine somewhere that genuinely cares about offering thoughtful, balanced, surprising, and fun desserts. This was my fourth visit this year (Chambers is becoming a go-to spot for milestones and celebrations), and somehow the bread got even more perfect? A higher rise, a nuttier, toastier flavor from the sesame. A simple offering executed perfectly.
