Chocolat Restaurant & Bar

“Six ladies from California seeking the best soul food experience. Found it at Chocolate Restaurant. Food was creative and very good. Don’t miss out when coming to NYC!”

“When you arrive, the aroma of chocolate is all around making you feel happier and ready to eat. The staff is very friendly and I felt welcome. Iordered fried chicken as an appetizer and it was tempura fried and cooked perfectly. For my entree, i had the oxtail with Mac and cheese and plantains. Ssooo delicious! Ordered a slice of cake for dessert. I haven't tasted it as of yet, but i honestly expected black rum cake. The cake was more almond cake and it tasted hard and old almost like it had been sitting around for a while. I wouldn't get it again. They charge gratuity automatically which I almost didn't notice and almost doubled the tip so watch out for that. Overall, this is a beautiful place and I recommend it”

“First restaurant we visited while in New York. This place is an entire vibe from the time you enter the doors until you leave. Amazing food! Excellent service. Mailk and Tobe were wonderful. You can tell that they truly care about the guests. Tobe has an energy that is unmatched. I will definitely be back!! Thank you so much for the wonderful dining experience.”

“We ducked into Chocolat to escape the rain and ended up discovering one of the best parts of our trip. We had brunch and, a little over an hour later, decided we had room for dessert. We ordered the chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream, and let me just say this: if they serve dessert in heaven, I imagine it tastes something like this. We told ourselves we’d exercise a little self-control, but the warm cake and melting ice cream had other plans. We practically wolfed down every bite of that delicate, moist, heavenly goodness. Now, here’s where the fried chicken comes in. My husband looked at me and said, “I need something savory to take the sweetness out of my mouth.” Don’t judge us. 😂 I flagged down a waiter and ordered a side of chicken. That chicken arrived piping hot, crispy, perfectly seasoned, and every bit as memorable as the dessert. It was so good it felt like manna from heaven. It’s loud and although service was lacking the food was amazing, the atmosphere was welcoming, and what started as a quick escape from the rain turned into a meal we’ll be talking about for a long time. We’ll definitely be back. 🍫🍗☔️”

“The pressure to find a table was overwhelming being that the Knicks are playing. This still doesn’t excuse the poor quality food served here. Ordered a medium well steak with eggs only to receive a rubberized piece of meat (unseasoned) with undercooked potatoes. Calamari which was mushy accompanied by a dark and stormy the tasted like a nasty mixed Malta. The nerve to over charge for it all was offensive and the owner should walk the plank. Don’t bring friends or family here unless you dislike them immensely!”
