Chambers in Tribeca is a cozy restaurant and wine bar blending seasonal American fare with an impressive 2,500-bottle wine list, perfect for laid-back dining.
"Chambers is an exemplar of the new breed of French wine bars, with food that’s unusually creative, replacing the usual charcuterie and tartines with seasonal vegetable melanges and main courses featuring steak and beans, both cooked to perfection. It’s one of the chillest spots in the neighborhood, with the kind of sign seen in old railroad stations next to the bar rolling out the specials of the evening." - Robert Sietsema
"An urbane place to drink wine in Tribeca that holds its own as a solid neighborhood restaurant, Chambers offers “a maze of contrasting styles” of wine, says critic Robert Sietsema, including more tradition-bound vintners as well as a selection of skin-contact-, natural-, and organic wines. Glasses of wine start at $9 each, and seats at the bar and at a communal table are reserved for walk-ins after 6:45 p.m." - Eater Staff, Melissa McCart
"Under a new name, wine geeks far and wide can rejoice at the rebirth and return of the late Racines. In a space that feels cool without feeling cold, Master Sommelier Pascaline Lepeltier has built a wine program with adventure, back vintages and surprising affordability in mind. She moves around the room showing equal hospitality to industry insiders and wide-eyed enthusiasts alike. Meanwhile, the kitchen knows its boundaries, delivering seasonal, friendly dishes that never threaten to overpower what’s in the glass. Highlights include lamb with chickpeas and mint and, for dessert, a delicate mascarpone mille-feuille made out of shatteringly thin sheets of phyllo. For a nightcap, don’t miss the mind-boggling selection of chartreuse." - Michelin Inspector
