The Scene – Chelsea gallery types and stylish neighborhood couples gather around the rustic wood tables inside the cozy yet clamorous brick-walled room. A wood-slatted ceiling adds an Alpine touch while the walls reflect the area's art scene by doubling as an exhibit space. Those seeking a quieter ambience retreat to the back garden. – – The Food – Comfort food doesn't have to be heavy according to Swiss-born chef Ralf Kuettel, who turns out a homey menu with sparingly culled flavors. Meaty frog's legs include a light touch of tarragon, for example, and a thick square…
Editor's Tips
- Where to Sit:
- Window seats make for great people-watching of Chelsea's street scene.
- What to Drink:
- Try house specialty cocktails like the Cabana Slush--rum, ginger beer, lime and orange bitters--or one of the hard-to-find Swiss wines.

Great food, server and hostess polite, remaining staff RUDE!
by tafurofam
Had early pre-dance program dinner Thurs night. We arrived at 525pm without reservations and were accomodated nicely for a table of 5. While we were waiting for a table, I asked the bartender for a mixed drink using the fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice I was told they had. He made an obnoxious face and said "well what do you want with it?" I smiled and said "be creative-its so warm out and cold would be good!" He continued to roll his eyes to a server standing near the bar. I then explained to him that we had had a sort of grapefruit martini and could he do that, another mumbled rude comment to server at bar and so I sat down, figuring we weren't going to get drinks!! I then found a grapefruit special drink on their menu and asked for three of those!! 20 minutes went by after we were seated, as we were ordering our appetizers at our table and still no drinks. We were told that the bartender (a misnomer for sure!) was "busy". There were 4 people at the bar and they all had drinks. I told our server that we wanted the drinks "before" dinner and would like wine with dinner and if they weren't at our table now, he (the misnamed bartender)could drink them. Another 10 minutes and they arrived. Ordinarily, I would have sent them back, but I didn't want to spoil the mood of evening, meeting up with friends, 2 of whom are in the restaurant business in New York and West Hampton!!!!!!
We proceeded to have a very good dinner, and server. But the desserts were the best!!
Props on the exotic menu
by blgerson
They have some really fun and tasty things on the menu. My girl and I got the opportunity to try sweet breads and it was a good dish. The server was a little young and underexperienced and we could only try the beer week beers if we got the prefix special. I encourage you to check it out.
LOVED IT
by lenadellacucina
We came back here after a long absence. We had always liked the food, but found the service too quirky. That seems to be a thing of the past. And the food is even better. The "cutting board" was over the top wonderful, the soup, delicious, and everything else was just terrific. The manager actually talked us out of a more expensive wine, because the cheaper one was better. Had us taste them both, too, just to prove it. We were too full for dessert, but boy did they look good.
Friendly, warm and delicious

We were here on Valentine's day. We did not have a reservation but they found a table and got us seated quickly. The food was amazing. I ordered two appetizers - a pasta and salad - and both were wonderful-- really fresh and tasty. The atmosphere is great.
