Michael Fox-Rabinovitz: Great sliders, super tater tots, good American Whisky selection, rather limited single Malt list
Andrew Doll: Great selection of whiskey, but has a kind of "bro-ish" atmosphere. Staff was friendly and helpful!
Jereme Bivins: Great atmosphere, fantastic whiskey menu, and extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Leigh Ferreira: sleep bowmore punch! single malt whiskey + madeira + orange curacao + demerara orange shrub + nutmeg. yum.
Kathryn Yu: The sausage plate is excellent and shareable. The charcuterie plate is also excellent and comes with a small jar of whipped lardo! Get some Sleep Bowmore Punch as well.
Serious Eats: The punches add a further element of theatricality: poured into tureens tableside, some warm with Scotch, some indulgent with a whole bottle of Champagne—& some with jumping flames of absinthe alit.

emily chen: The sushi is okay here but they have an amazing sesame agadashi tofu, hibiki whiskey, kirin on tap & an amazing lychee cocktail. it's farm to tableesque japanese, making their own tofu/sauces in house
Nima Gardideh: They have popular Japanese whiskies. Selection is limited.
Nima Gardideh: Buta kimchi is very well done. Recommend getting rice or noodles (or some rolls) if you want to fill up a bit :)

Broghanne Jessamine: Family style is the way to go. So much amazing food. Monkfish is my favorite its to die for and the whiskey ice cream is brilliance
Jenny Mizutowicz: The miso vinaigrette dressing on the calamari salad is phenomenal. Also had the pork belly and pork dumplings, both great.
HBO: Sex and the City happened here. "So here's to the groom, who finally got Carrie-d away." Carrie and Big had their wedding rehearsal dinner here.

Wine Store · Chelsea · 29 tips and reviews
James Forrest: Great place to get local spirits from NY, as well as a great wine selection. Rather limited white wine but great, diverse range of reds.
Serious Eats: Located inside the famous Chelsea Market, this spirits shop carries a respectable array of quality liquor. The prices skew a little high, but it's a best bet for the neighborhood nonetheless.
Mike Dudas: Jon and George are stellar at guiding your wine choices

Carol: Lovely ambiance. Make a rsvp to guarantee that you eat here. The cocktails are so fun and the food is delightful! Weekends are brunch only
Sara R: Decoration is extremely nice and cosy, service was amazing, food is okay though.
Rachel C: For brunch: burgers, eggs benedict; French toast croissant was not as good as it looked.
