Quiet, private restaurant in Chelsea area

[Helen71]

Last minute help.... I'm looking for a nice restaurant for two in the Chelsea area, where two people can sit and talk close together, for Thursday night. My guest isn't a fan of Asian or Indian cuisine; anything else fine. Thanks so much!

Another possibility is Sagaponock Grill (22nd off Fifth). The tables in the back, away from the bar, or upstairs on the mezzanine are good for quiet conversation.

I don't know what the reservation situation is like post Michelin star, but Del Posto may be a good bet. Pre-MIchelin star, this was a good restaurant to go to for an intimate meal.

Another possibility is Gascogne. The food is hit or miss, but the atmosphere is absolutely charming.

I second Blossom if you're willing to do vegetarian (although....I thought it was vegan? but maybe I'm wrong..). Either way Blossom food is awesome and nice somewhat romantic ambiance...

Lots of possibilities, among them Klee Brasserie, Blossom (if you like vegetarian), Trestle on Tenth, Suenos (pan-Latin), La Luncheonette, Gascogne....that should be enough to get yu started.

I thinik La Luncheonette is closed.....sadly

I am not aware that La Lunchonette (note the correct spelling) is closed. Neither menupages nor Zagat -- both of which are pretty good about keeping on top of these things -- shows it as closed. I just tried to call and got a message indicating that they are open for lunch and dinner every day and offering the opportunity to leave a message to reserve a table.
