What an incredible find. This will be an annual visit for dinner when I come to nyc for work ! Loved every bite - beautiful oysters and incredible steaks and sides. An excellent wine list and a wonderful historic ambience ! Worth booking as it gets popular and for good reason !

As a gluten free (not celiac) couple, we rarely get to eat Chinese food, so what a treat this was! This is a small, lively, intimate yet approachable restaurant with an open kitchen concept. Service was very attentive, and again, not stuffy at all. We sat at the bar which I think is the best seat in the house because it's so fun to watch the chefs. Great flavors, very interesting and seemingly seasonal menu. We had the five spice pork chop, the duck, green beans, and oysters. All were great and I'd order again, but I'd say the pork chop was the star. We will definitely be back. Great for a date night. They also had a big party there which they were surprisingly able to accommodate for how small the place is. Maybe like 15-20 people.

Overall it was fantastic! I will be back! Most of the food was outstanding! They were short staffed so this had a little impact, we didn’t get our wine until after we’d finished our meal, but minor detail. The atmosphere, ambience, food, was brilliant. Love this Black establishment and we will be back! Thanks File for our last meal In New York!

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.
