Cookshop in Chelsea was such a standout. The vibe is lively but easy, with a steady energy that feels both local and special. From the moment we walked in, Madison and Pierce at the front welcomed us with warmth and genuine kindness. They set the tone for the rest of the night. Edwin was fantastic with his recommendations, and Chef Luis came out personally to adjust my salad after I mentioned craving something like a Caesar. That level of attention is rare and made the whole experience feel personal and thoughtful. The focaccia with whipped ricotta was pillowy, warm, and perfectly salted. I absolutely loved the little gem lettuces and the grilled chicken breast, which was simple, juicy, and full of flavor. The corn was a big hit, and the roasted cauliflower was deeply caramelized and comforting. I didn’t love the tomato-braised Romano beans—they were a bit oily—and without me even asking, they took them off the bill. That gesture alone speaks volumes about the care this team puts into hospitality. I also asked for a surprise round of sauces, and they delivered a fun, creative little selection. Everyone we interacted with had a smile, and the whole evening felt easy and special. Cookshop is a place I’ll absolutely return to.

Not complaints on the food or service. Everything was fresh and the waiter was attentive. A bit loud indoors so we sat outside and enjoyed the sun. Cute neighborhood brunch spot

Amazing food, perfectly cooked and all taste incredibly fresh and well sourced. They also serve a warm and trendy vibe inside, with plenty of seats outside too for warmer nights. We ordered these incredible dishes over a three course meal: Artichoke starters Short rib terrine Half chicken roast (!!!) Burger Chocolate Cake Firm goats cheese The chicken was probably one of the juiciest, most tender and succulent roast chicken I have had in a very long time.

Place served up delicious, unique food options. Every item I ate was delicious. Food came out very quickly, and prices were reasonable for eating in NYC. I'd definitely return to sample more of the menu.

Cookshop has a great menu with plenty of variety! Great appetizers and main dishes. I personally had the center-cut pork chop… and it was one of the best pork chops I’ve had in a while. And equally good, I had the heirloom tomato salad. While the service lacked in speed… the food made up for it. Will be back.

Cookshop in Chelsea is a great spot for brunch. The food was awesome. The huevos rancheros were some of the best we’ve ever had. I got the falafel pita, which was super tasty and a fun surprise to see on a brunch menu. The place was packed, so we had to grab seats at the bar. Definitely recommend making a reservation. The staff was really friendly and on top of everything. The menu looks kind of simple at first, but everything that came out of the kitchen looked amazing, and what we had was seriously delicious. Also a solid choice if you’re going with a big group.

Went on a special date night. Couldn’t have asked for a better evening. First thing we noticed was the professional service right off the bat. Relaxed atmosphere and cozy dining area. The service continued to be top notch. Decent service is always nice but excellent service can really make a night feel special and it did. We have the stuffed squash blossoms, beefsteak tomatoes, scallops, pizza, liver mousse and three deserts. Don’t judge me! I really appreciated things coming out being thoughtfully timed. Especially when ordering that much food it was nice not to worry things were going cold. I had already heard from multiple people this place was it and they weren’t lying! We were able to get a table because we went early (5) but I definitely recommend reservations.

Baked goods here are great, especially their bread. Appreciated that they could do a “make your own breakfast” with scrambled eggs just the way I like them. Overall good spot for breakfast or brunch!
