Marsanne

We spent our Christmas Eve here. My partner picked the place. When we enter the place the lady didn't took our coat so we asked to hang it afterwards. The server gave us some recommendations. The restaurant was intimate, the Christmas tree was lovely. The salad was nice. We actually tried to remake the salad at home since it was tasty. The chicken and fish was average, maybe dry. Chocolate mousse was rich, but we make something similar at home 🙈 The cocktail was okay. The server kept asking if we want another one. It looks good but the taste was average lol overall, it was nice but probably won't come back. Sorryyy. That's just my opinion.

Totally 5 stars, or more. Igor and team run a very tight ship with absolute attention to detail, and it shows. We walked in from the wrong door and were welcomed by two large and genuine smily employees, on our way to the friendly host. We were seated in no time at a beautiful and cosy table that was a fit for the romantic atmosphere we were looking for. Service was super attentive, our waters were refilled immediately, the team was highly engaged and visible, and the dishes were flying in so efficiently although being a packed Saturday night. The menu has something for everyone and not eating seafood is not an issue. We got Beef Tartar (one of the best I’ve had), Artichoke Salad (very good), Branzino served on a base of pretty interesting base, and delicious Veal Pasta. For desert, I highly recommend the crunchy Chocolate Mouse. Lastly, they remembered we said we’re celebrating a birthday and brought the desert with a candle without even asking. A tight ship, indeed.

I had the most amazing Valentine’s Month brunch at Marsanne NYC, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best-rated restaurants in NYC for a reason! Even on a freezing February day, the warm, inviting atmosphere made it feel cozy and intimate. The food was simply incredible — the Mediterranean meatballs were 10/10, tender, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with the roasted pepper-tomato sauce and labneh. The lobster roll with caviar was luxurious but not over the top, and the steak and eggs were cooked to perfection. We ended on a high note with the chocolate mousse with hazelnut — a perfect finish. The staff was attentive and helped us pick wines that paired beautifully with the dishes. Everything felt thoughtful, elevated, and just right for a special meal with someone you love. If you want a warm, cozy, and elevated brunch experience in Chelsea, Marsanne NYC is the place to go. Highly recommend!

This place is such a gem. The food is exceptional. I had the pesto rigatoni with a glass of red wine Claudio recommended, and it felt like the perfect meal to emerge from a blizzard. His warm hospitality made the bar feel especially cozy. I’ll definitely be back.

TLDR: Excellent service and good Mediterranean food (maybe not as great as the Google reviews would have you believe). Went with some friends in August - just missed the RW deal but glad we came by anyways. For one thing I was very intrigued by the glowing reviews on Google. Ultimately, enjoyed the food, service was stellar, and ambiance was solid. We ordered quite a bit and my main takeaways were that the dips were fire, supposedly (according to my friends) the pastas were delicious, the seafood dishes were OK imo, and the desserts were awesome (our server even gave us an extra one, which was so nice)! Would come back to try some of other options on the menu. Drinks: - Wine and cocktails (solid) Apps: - Pita Bread and 5 Dips (so good) Mains: - Halibut (decent) - Pappardelle (a bit on the bland side, not worth imo) - Fusilli (apparently was quite good) - Zucchini pasta (a special at the time, apparently was really good) Desserts: - Chocolate mousse (awesome) - Peach cobbler (not for me, but friends loved)

Before going, I searched online for the best of the best restaurants in the area, and Marsanne came up. I booked it for a business meeting with my boss. It exceeded every expectation. The food was impeccable, the ambiance was beautiful, and the owner and staff went out of their way to make us feel welcomed and taken care of. My boss & I, couldn’t stop raving about it. Truly a 10/10 experience, and we can’t wait to come back.

Came for a business lunch and left so happy and satisfied. The service and team were amazing. Super knowledgeable about the food and restaurant concept (French Mediterranean). Super friendly. The food was absolutely delicious. We did the prix fixe 3 course lunch which was about $35 each. Every bite of every course was absolutely delicious. I’m not going to recommend any particular plate as each was incredible. Will 100% go back here every time I’m in NYC.

We had a very good experience with the service at Marsanne. From the moment we arrived, the staff was attentive and welcoming. They first seated us at a table, but quickly noticed we weren’t fully comfortable and offered to move us, which we appreciated. I also asked for the wine list, and the sommelier came over right away to help me choose a bottle. Our server, Milos, was excellent throughout the night. As for the food, the appetizers were tasty, though the portion size and price didn’t quite match. The pasta was the highlight of the meal — truly well done. The burger was average, and the octopus was good but overpriced. Unfortunately, the scallops and the fish were disappointing. It seemed like they might have been cooked in old oil, giving them a greasy flavor rather than a fresh one, which was a letdown. Overall, the service was outstanding, but the food was inconsistent, especially toward the end of the night.

Unbelievable service, impeccable food, lavish and comfortable at once. There is nowhere in the city that I would rather dine.

Everything was so good! The bread with 3 dips was a 10/10 but the Spicy Feta was definitely my favorite. I had the salmon and veggies, and they were cooked perfectly. I was way too full for dessert, but I'm definitely coming back to try it. The service was amazing from start to finish, and the ambiance was stunning. I genuinely loved spending my day there.

This place was so pleasant. They have a us a great seat near the entrance for prime people watching. They service here was great. Some times a bit overbearing, but I'd rather have that than less than adequate service. Food was yummy. The scallops were good, they incorporated leek and zucchini into the dish. The leek could have been a bit more tender, but the zucchini was perfect and presentation was on point. I had a couple of bad oysters but no big deal. And French fries weren't super fresh and piping hot. Al of these things, super minor In my opinion. The manager came to our table to give us some attention and sent over a complimentary dessert which was the tiramisu pictured. The sparkling rose was super crispy and fresh and the watermelon quencher was refreshing and delicious. The garnish WILL put you on your tuchus though be carful

We visited this beautiful, open Mediterranean restaurant as a large group for lunch prix-fixe. There are two options to choose from. The atmosphere was lovely and the space felt bright and welcoming. Our waiter was extremely attentive and handled our sense of humor very well, which we really appreciated. The majority of us started with the bread and dips, which were incredibly fresh and flavorful--definitely a highlight. It's a very generous portion. I ordered the Tuna Nicoise Salad, which was a little salty but good. There were quite a few upcharges so definitely check the menu. All and all great experience and looking forward to going back and trying their dinner menu.

Marsanne is a beautiful restaurant! The cuisine is Mediterranean, but the menu tells a bit of a different story...it's more like an Italian/med fusion? The drinks were decent, and we started with the 5 Spread appetizer - loved the bread that came with it, and enjoyed a few of the dips. For my entree I had the Truffle Risotto, which was good but was a tad underwhelming- it really needed more salt! My friend's Truffle Fusilli was on the same level - just needed more flavor. For dessert we had the Chocolate Ganache and Tiramisu - both were, again, decent, but portions and flavor for the price just weren't quite there. Needless to say, the vibes here are great...but I just was hoping for more!

Beautiful space in Chelsea. Very clean vibe with open seating. I love how the room is lit and the staff is fantastic. There have plenty of dishes to choose from - their labneh dip is signature and I'd highly recommend it. The dips are really well seasoned and the portions of the entrees are pretty decent. For a spot that's great for families, dates, anything in between I'd recommend.

Beautiful interiors and large portions! Very friendly staff but service was a bit slow. Recommend the labneh and salmon Benedict

Beautiful restaurant ! The hosts and servers were lovely and super helpful. Went there because my friend had a blind date. We were able to get seats right next to them so my date and I could keep an eye on her. Drinks were well balanced. The octopus was very tasty although the ends were a bit too crisp and had a slightly bitter taste because of the char- I recommend eating tentacles from the ends to the base as base of it was juicy and delicious! The cheese platter was very tasty but the sides could have been better. Then needed more bread on that plate. 3 little pieces for ALL of that cheese. We asked for more but we were only given two small slices- unfortunately I didn't wanna ask for more so I just took the rest home. Also the fig was not the most fresh - they should use seasonal fruit on the platter. Something like fresh peaches would have been a better pairing. The tiramisu was light and refreshing- but if you're expecting tiramisu then you will not have your expectations met. Their play on it included a small wafer cookie in the middle but the taste was not comparable to a lady finger. It wasn't giving tiramisu but it was still a good dessert. Good enough to justify $2 a bite? That's debatable. I also enjoyed the meatballs. Very flavorful but I thought the meat could have been softer. I can't tell if it was slightly overcooked or if they overworked the meat when handling it and forming the shape but it was a solid choice. 3 meatballs and the sauce still had me wanting to scrape the plate. Overall, I would definitely come here again. I hear great things about their dip and if I come for an entree instead of just apps- then I will definitely get the steak because others got that and it looked delicious as well.

Another great meal at Marsanne! We weren't terribly hungry so we just had drinks and appetizers. If you haven't eaten here you're missing out. Really great food and the staff and owner are super nice. Had their soft shell crab. One of the best around!

The restaurant is super vibey and cute but when we came for brunch for different people came over in quick succession to try and take our order. Kinda felt rushed despite there being plenty of tables. The shakshuka and flatbread were both good but a little salty. The best thing was the lemon ricotta dip with the bread

I was on my way out for a drink then randomly saw this beautiful restaurant calling my name! Since I was early meeting up with my friend I decided to sit at the bar and enjoy a glass of wine of a beautiful sunny day. I met the owners/managers who were very friendly and welcoming as well as my bartender Igor/Egor. I looked at the menu and it looked so enticing that after I met you with my friend, I decided to come back for dinner! I had the most delicious squid ink pasta and one of my favorite cocktails the last word. Needless to say I loved this place and want to come back!

Service- fantastic attentive without being too much Ambiance - really beautiful inside, loved the decor and lighting. Food - food tasted great and beautiful presentation. Grilled octopus was cooked well. Would have liked a little more char personally. Shrimp - was tasty. I think more shrimp would be better or jumbo to justify price Chicken duo was really tasty especially the thighs Filet - cooked perfectly and loved the potatoes One of the best dirty martinis I've had was here

My friend and I came here for an early dinner. As she's not much of a drinker , I came a tad earlier to avail of their happy hour at the gorgeous bar . Service by the hostess , barman were all friendly and attentive . The manager/ owner stopped by a few times to ask about our experience ( which I appreciate ). Longevity of these restaurants is due to many factors, one of which is customer service . The restaurant is new , well decorated and has a vibrant atmosphere surrounded by plants, etc . One small thing that could issue work is their food ( impt to me as a foodie ). Our shared beet salad was good , both entrees Cavatelli and risotto were lacking in flavor . I will definitely come back later in the year maybe in the fall / winter as I can see that this will be a buzzing place ( it's in Chelsea), as soon as the usual folks are back in the city from their summer holidays .

We went to Marsanne for Mothers Day and we were all very happy with our food. The place is beautiful and the staff is very friendly. It was busy as expected on a holiday, so they could have had more wait staff, but overall it was a nice experience.

Presentation, service, and food are all great. They were super professional and attentive. Food was clean and delicious! My favorite was probably the shakshuka and the dips. Great place to have brunch with friends or a date!

Love this relatively new, under the radar restaurant in Chelsea. Very elegant ambiance, excellent service, and delicious menu selection. Some restaurants you'll scour the menu and find it difficult to pick your winners, but at Marsanne it was obvious as they have a lot of crowd pleasing items, my favorites were the foie gras, branzinio and chicken duo. This will be on my go-to list of restaurants for sure. Bonus points is that it's still under the radar so you can easily get reservations for now!

Sophisticated spot opens in the beloved Foragers. It's a big beautiful corner spot serving Mediterranean food. The room has the Chelsea vibe & that's on point. The big imported oven wasn't up and running yet so I can't wait for the bread & mezzes which were missing from my dinner. Ate: Faroe island salmon with cauliflower & romesco $39 Beautiful presentation and tasty but I'd prefer the romesco at bottom or on side but it was tasty. More to come.

I love this place. Great happy hour, great service, great good. What else do you need? Love sitting by the bar and watch the bartenders make the cocktails. Cheers

We were three of us who stopped by for a late brunch on a Saturday afternoon. The staff provided attentive service, and the ambiance was inviting, with great decor. The restaurant wasn't crowded, and we were seated promptly. The coffee was good, and we also tried a couple of cocktails - the Old Fashioned and the Black Lemon Sour. While the latter was a tad too sweet for my taste, both drinks were well-made. The Mezze platter was a highlight, with delicious dips and warm, toasty bread. For entrees, the Eggs Benedict and lamb kebab were good, though not particularly memorable. Overall, I'm intrigued by the menu and would return to explore more options. This place is suitable for gatherings with friends and family.

This place is solid. Beautiful decor and attentive staff. My friend and I tried a few dishes and those were solid but not amazing. We had the truffle fries, sautéed shrimp, bread with dip, and grilled octopus. Oh we also had a few mocktails. Those were delicious. I'd like to go back to try their entrees to see if my solid rating can be improved.

I was pleasantly impressed by the food, service and ambiance at Marsanne. The Mediterranean menu is limited but very good. The cocktails are excellent and they have a good wine list as well.

The food was amazing. We were able to get a last minute reservation since we were staying at The Moore hotel which is located right next door who I also recommend. Service was great. The restaurant was nicely decorated for Christmas and a little dark and moody which we loved.

Great service, beautiful atmosphere, and delicious eats at this nice restaurant. We were too early for the kitchen, but the appetizers were delicious!! I'll be back!!

These are my friends at this point I frequent this place a lot! They have a new executive chef and it shows. Last week I had the duck which was perfection. Just enough sweetness in the cherry sauce with grilled escarole ( I thought it was). Simply surreal We also had the Stracciatella stuffed raviolis. So good I do like oysters and they were on the small scale- no complaint. And for dessert I had the tiramisu -- so good Will keep on coming back

Good food (particularly branzino entree and truffle fries), nice service. Happy hour deals were pretty good - delicious cocktail with aperol (not spritz). Otherwise it was pretty pricey.

Amazing restaurant. Awesome food. (The bread alone is worth the visit!) Service was warm and outstanding. We had the pleasure of having David as our server. Knowledgeable and personable, he made our meal even more enjoyable. This a restaurant we have passed often always remarking how lovely it looks and how "one of these days we have to go there!" I'm so glad we finally did. We will definitely return.

Fantastic dinner in the heart of Chelsea. From the moment we walked in we were greeted by super friendly hostess that seated us wright away. We were a party of four and shared several appetizers - octopus that was so tender and flavorful, hummus, olives and foie gras that was spectacular. Cocktails were top notch as well as home made bread - sourdough couples with out of the oven pita bread. By buddy and I shared ribeye while our wives had squid ink pasta and cod that they raved about. Ribeye was so tender and perfectly paired with broccolini and Nebbiolo. When we though we were done, they brought us desserts that were amazing however we could not finish them as we were full. I highly recommend Marsanne as their food, service and relaxed atmosphere is just what we needed on this beautiful spring night in NYC.

Walking in your are immediately impressed with the beautiful greenery and layout of the restaurant. The dishes, from the hummus platter to the pesto pasta, were delicious. Service was efficient and kind. Can't wait for another visit!

We loved it here! There was nothing to fault. Perfect from the start and we could have stayed there all day! Superb food, service and atmosphere!! Milos was great host

This restaurant is beautiful and the happy hour menu is perfect for a quick bite and a cocktail!

10/10 meal & experience here at Marsanne. Huge shoutout to Milan & David for the 5 star service. I was in town for a brief business trip and looking for the best pasta I could get before I had to go home. The ambiance was so warm & luxe and the perfect vibe to wind down after a long day. I ordered the seafood cavatelli and ate EVERY SINGLE BITE - perfectly cooked & seasoned. I ended with the chocolate mousse dessert which was equally fabulous. Have to visit again next time I'm in NYC to try their mediterranean options and bring my friends!

The service, food, and wine were exceptional! A special shout-out to the manager Igor and the bartender, Menderes Koc for their amazing hospitality and kindness. Great food with a beautiful ambiance. I recommend the Sancerre wine and their dip platter (the hummus was the best!) I'll definitely be back!

Lovely restaurant through and through. Staff was great, food was delicious, and the interior is simple, elegant, and gorgeous. Highly recommend this new Chelsea gem!

One of the better sit down spots I've eaten at in Chelsea as of lately. Really good quality food, affordably priced wines. The mezze platters with fresh baked bread, the pastas and the scallops really stood out. Salmon looked delicious as well. The cocktails were a bit slow for how busy the restaurant was, but overall this was a fantastic experience for how new this restaurant seems to be - highly recommend and will be doing lunch meetings here in the future! :)

Stopped at the bar a couple times in October after doing a play Off-Broadway. Great martinis, oysters and a Tuna Crudo . Pricey but chic and sophisticated. Nice spot!

Fantastic service, food and ambience The lemon ricotta artichoke spread and their homemade pita bread is amazing The eggs on polenta a winner as well

We visited Marsanne for happy hour as a group of four and stayed for dinner. The food was amazing, the happy hour bites were so good. We had all the dips, the bread is incredible. The agnolotti with pulled chicken was beyond delicious, the flavor of the woodfire really elevates the food. The drinks were very good, their spritz with passion fruit was a hit with our table. They even brought out espresso martini shots on the house for our celebration. Great service, kind staff, and the food was fresh and perfectly seasoned.

A beautiful restaurant featuring outstanding service and decor. The dishes are artfully presented and well prepared. We found the menu a bit limited and the prices on the high side.

The ambiance was nice, service was a little slow even for the city, and the food was good but overpriced. Quite vibey but won't be returning

This place is so lovely. The ambiance is incredible--good atmosphere and flattering lighting. The food is AMAZING and the staff is so fabulous. I have been there several times and I have consistently had wonderful experiences.

Amazing food, great ambiance, one of the best new restaurants open up in New York City.

This new spot in Chelsea is great! The food is delicious, the service impeccable, and the ambiance warm and inviting! I highly recommend you make it a point to try it out.

I was in NYC during Restaurant Week and dined with 2 friends at Marsanne. It was a wonderful experience for each of us. My salad was dressed lightly but very tasty. My two companions chose the Tuna Crudo and were delighted with their choice. We all decided on the Bronzino entree and we're so glad we did. It was amazing! Perfectly prepared, flavored with olive tapenade and a crunchy veggie chip topping. The desserts were delicious. We enjoyed the tiramisu, the gelato and a dense chocolatey treat with orange creme garnish. The service was superb and the staff friendly. I will definitely recommend this establishment and visit each time I'm in NYC. Kudos to Milos and David, they created an experience that exceeded expectations.

Perfect in so many ways! Incredible food, atmosphere, and staff. A great place for a post-work meal, date night, night out, anything. We felt very taken care of and more than satisfied. And the place is beautiful too!

Lovely brunch here, the Marsanne's first brunch as they just opened last week. Upon entry, I had a tickle in my throat and the hostess kindly noticed and asked if I wanted a glass of water right away, which I accepted. I appreciated her attentiveness and urgency. The rest of the party was already seated, ready to order. Looking around, I found the restaurant beautifully designed--lots of greenery and natural light in the main dining area, a bar up front for late night, and a moodier dining area tucked away behind the kitchen. The others ordered steak and eggs and an omelette. Feeling adventurous, I ordered the sous vide eggs with polenta, bacon sauce, and greens. More texture (maybe bacon-y crunch?) might have improved my dish, but I love polenta, so no complaints. Also, this seemed like a place that would make its own ketchup instead of serving Heinz, but I guess most people love Heinz so... The omelette was enjoyed (though the home fries seemed uninspired). All three dishes were cooked to perfection, over-medium eggs aren't easy! With the amazing service, great decor, and above average food, it's a solid "4" for me. Will be back to see how things evolve after a great start!

Food is bland, at best . Waitress and Hostess was great . But unfortunately , the co-owner , Miljan, was a prick. He wagged his finger telling me to stand elsewhere for the long bathroom line . He was rude and abrupt . Once I moved to the spot he told me to, he elbowed me (a woman ) in my chest. Another patron observed and looked in shock but didn't say anything. I do not recommend this place as the owner feels it's okay to assault woman. I was so disgusted that I quickly left afterwards.

My wife and I ate at Marsanne last Friday night with a very good friend who was a pescatarian, I am a big meat eater so it was an adjustment - BUT, since we decided to share everything, looking back it was a great chance to diverge from the normal and take - literally - the road less eaten (like how I did that?). We ate mostly the vegetable and fish although we did have the chicken that was recommended by the manger/owner, Milos (who looks like a cross between a professional volley ball player and a Seal Team 6 leader - but was weirdly gentle and kind, the duality was striking). I was not really surprised that they had a lot of choices for pesca-vegetarians that were amazing, but I was pleasantly surprised that they were most definitely worth ordering, but more on the food later... First, the place is stunningly designed. The chairs are gorgeous, soft leather seats that feel like a warm hug before your meal. The wood for the tables was thick and perfectly balanced (don't you hate a wobbly table?). And, we were told, all the handmade furniture was sourced from the Balkans. When you go, you have to see the featured art piece - from an artist in Serbia (I hope I am correct) that takes up an entire wall in the back of the restaurant. Stand in front of it and take it all in, the art gives you a sense that it is actually moving, slowly, gracefully, with balance and coordination - all things I would say about the staff, who were helpful, efficient and attentive yet never intrusive or urging. I don't remember ever asking our server for more water or for a wine refill - magically all that just happened. Also, the food was perfectly timed, dishes were cleared after everyone was finished and we were given just the right amount of rest after the appetizers - about 11 minutes. What was a really great and welcomed surprise was the fact that the lighting was carefully balanced with the abundance of outdoor light, and as the sun waned, the lighting was brought up to maintain the balance, unlike most restaurants where you have to reach out and touch your neighbor just to make sure they are still there. Also, the music didn't compete with the conversation and was so good that I have no idea what was playing. All this ambiance added up to a complete sense of comfort and familiarity without a trace of detachment or arrogance. Which is the same thing I can say for the food. While definitely high-end and luxurious, it simultaneously tasted familiar and accessible (cucina povera in Italian). The chef didn't seem like they were showing off with off-putting flavors or heavy sauces that get in the way of the natural flavors of the ingredients themselves. The highlight of our appetizers was the Pan Seared scallops cooked to perfection with a traditional Sicilian eggplant caponata and pine nuts to provide a bit of elegance, as well as the Beetroot Carpaccio - the goat cheese-mustard was dreamy-creamy, but the panache was in the pistachio. Then we had the homemade pasta Agnolotti, which was so smoky it was sipped like a 10 year old Laphroaig. The Entrees were the Branzino, which had a crunchy fennel mix which reminded me of those pop-rocks we ate as kids - crunchy, tender with just the right amount of sweetness. And the STAR of the show was the Chicken Duo, as someone else stated, I too would NEVER order chicken at a restaurant, it is common, mostly bland and usually oversauced to hide, not feature, the meat - but alas my friends, I will stand on top of the highest tower in NY and shout at the top of my lungs: ORDER THE CHICKEN! The chicken was purrrfectly juicy and succulent - yes, I said succulent for chicken. The reason it was so amazing was it was given a bath, sous vide style, before coming to our table. The hollandaise foam, although amazing, wasn't even needed as the meat - did I say it was chicken - was perfect all by itself. Get the chicken, get the chicken and... oh yeah, get the chicken. I don't think I could've had have a better meal if I ordered the Foie Gras and the Hanger Steak... or could I? I guess I will have to ditch the pescatarian and bring a meat-eating friend next time, but then I would have to share... Decisions, decisions. But there is one decision that is already made, I will be back - again and again. Don't miss this place while you can still get a seat, it will definitely catch on fast.

One of the best restaurants i ate!!! The place looks absolutely stunning. Everything was on point from service, presentation and food. Server was lovely and she knew exactly what to recomend I had foie gras torchon and branzino and it was INCREADIBLE. Highly recommending I will be back for sure!

Beautiful atmosphere, great food & service and reasonable prices for Manhattan. Highly recommended.
