Great food and drinks. Long wait time for entree. I was told that there was a kitchen mix-up. I ordered the entrée first, then my appetizer. The appetizers arrived. My guests entrée crab burger arrived. But not my crab lobster ravioli. The table that was seated ten minutes after us steak sandwiches arrived before the waiter decided to ask if everything was OK. Then I informed him of my missing entrée. To which he then checked and inputted my order, and I had to watch my guest eat while I waited ten minutes for my food.

Dropped in here for a bite while waiting for a tow after my truck broke down on the GW bridge entrance. Walked in and felt very cozy & quaint. I’m loving the bar setup & vibes. Got the corned beef hash for $18, add Mimosa for $2 more. Happy hour is $5 wines. After 2 drinks I’m really starting to like this place. Finished the meal with a slice of carrot cake. My only complaint is that the corned beef hash was overly greasy, I’m talking cholesterol & artery clogging grease. A bit risqué? 😅😅

Every dollar was worth coming here. I came for a comedy show originally with an intention to go to a restaurant beforehand, but I was super late, so I ended up eating here. I was so surprised that they had bruschetta and it was absolutely exquisite. The comedy show is great and the people around me were so kind and full of laughter!

Just had brunch here. Kids Mac and cheese was penne and not really mac and cheese (if I had to guess it was more of an on the spot improvised roux). My grilled chicken sandwich was dry, burnt, and smaller than the last time I ate here. The salad the accompanied it was exclusively wilted arugula. Disappointing.

The love of my life brought me here for a birthday dinner date October 30, 2021! We had a phenomenal waiter, Forrest! He was just wonderfully personable and helpful. The food and drinks were delicious and we just had a blast. We sat outside and loved it. It was beautifully decorated and the heaters were on. Everything was just perfect! Birthday Dinner in Washington Heights >>> We had brussel sprouts as an appetizer. I had a delicious vegan burger and my guy had a lamb burger. Our drinks were a strawberry 🍓 margarita and a warm spiced liquor! Everything was A-1! Make sure you ask for Forrest! ⭐

Stopped in while touring the area at 1:00pm on a Wednesday afternoon. Bar was recommended by Sgt. Rivera of NYPD a few blocks away. Glad he told us to try the mozzarella sticks - yum!Nice, old world, two story bar with local vibes - away from all the tourism. George Washington Bridge is a short walk away.Can’t wait to visit this area again soon and hit bar up at night.

Best Guinness in the city for sure. Mozz sticks were great but marinara sauce was not. Fish and chips good but tartar sauce was very watery. Friend got chicken plate with brussel sprouts (they were not trimmed) and mashed potatoes (gravy was broken for sure) and said it was horrible. chicken sandwhich ok. I wouldn’t get food here again but liked the bar.

Its a fun Irish pub with a great atmosphere. They often host events like comedy or live music. The vibe is great. The bathrooms are about as clean as youll find in a NY bar. The food is okay but worth it for the vibe. On the menu, it says the cheesesticks are the best in the world, and theyre not. But the curry is delicious.

Will not being coming back. 1. The server mentioned we could have 1/2 fries 1/2 salad as our side and then slapped an extra $2 on the bill for everyone who ordered that without mentioning that there would be an extra cost. 2. The salad was just wilted greens 3. I was seated next to a window with a draft and was freezing the entire time. 3. When the server asked us if we were ready to order and we had responded yes, she replied by saying that she had a lot to do and that we couldnt be dilly dallying.Otherwise the food was just alright. The atmosphere was cute however.

Live music (thats actually good) a couple of times a month. A decent cider (some on tap, though not on their menu - tip: actually go into the bar to see what they have). Food is variable from medium to excellent. Atmosphere is wonderful. Plenty of (covered) outside seating (in individual booths) is available. Lovely upstairs too.

Good atmosphere and live music. Good selection of beer. Don’t come for the food. The menu has depth — I ordered the lamb burger and a friend ordered tilapia. However, I did not find the food to be good at all. It wasn’t bad, but the food was just so incredibly plain and all dishes looked like they had been hurriedly put together.

Review №24

On a whim, I stopped in as Ive always been curious passing by. Very pleased with my meal. Waitstaff was very helpful. I had the Guinness and fish & chips. The chips were standard fries, so on the OK side. The star was the fish, as it should be. Great cook here: juicy, flaky and well seasoned batter. The tarter sauce really helped give it a great complete bite, although the fish can stand on its own just fine. One of the better fish & chips Ive had in a while. Recommended.

Exactly what you want in an Irish Bar. No frills, old school. This is a beer and whiskey kind of place, dont go expecting fancy. Treat the bartenders well and theyll do the same - again, dont sit at the bar looking at the menu for 20 minutes and then try to get a blood orange cosmo. Sit down, order a Guinness, and youre golden.

We go to Le Cheile several times a week. Occasionally we go elsewhere in the neighborhood, but we usually end up regretting it. Only at Le Cheile is our day brightened by the kind and curteous waitstaff, always attentive without being pushy, we know that we are being taken care of. We hate to play favorites but Anna is the best! Whenever Anna is here we buy more drinks and eat more food, she makes the best reccommendations and is great at reading the mood at our table. At the same time as we love Anna, we could not speak more highly of everyone who works here: Anna, Forist and Lizzy are the best.

Good neighborhood spot. A little overpriced for what it is but its a nice easy place to go to. I see it like a diner but and my husband says its bar food. Last week my husband had the fish and chips $17 it was just okay. The fish was soggy not crispy and I had the lamb burger with salad $17 and again it was edible but nothing special. We were still hungry so then we ordered chicken wings and they were fine. Service was good. Will return.

The brunch and atmosphere was pretty chill for a Sunday afternoon, but the service seemed to have downgraded a little bit. We ordered burgers and no condiments came nor simple lettuce and tomatoes.Then when paying the bill, they forgot to bring my credit card back from the cashier.I think new waiters need training and better attention to details.

One word, Shame, if I would be one of the waitresses who served us during this Labor Day I would be embarrassed and feel very bad, but they didnt seem to care. Today we brought our friend to treat him for his birthday to our favorite restaurant that we always enjoyed. Our 2 year old daughter was with us. We were one of the first tables to seat inside, there was no menu brought to us, I had to grab it myself, we waited 10 min for high chair. We were very patient, we saw restaurant got crowded after we came, so we knew kitchen and our waitress are working hard to get all the orders, however after an hour of waiting, we saw everybody who came after us getting orders but we still were waiting. At this point my toddler started to cry for food pointing at others peoples plates. I tried to give them chance to fix the situation, we came few times to ask about our food and wondering why we are not getting it although people who came after us already eating. Our waitress was busy mixing drinks at the bar and seemed to be bothered that we are keep asking, she gave excuses that probably because our order is bigger its still in making, but that wasnt true, we were table of 3+ baby versus table of 5 people came after us and already eating. I asked to at least bring our baby food so she wont cry, they said sure, after that, 20 min passed and they brought food to 3 more tables, but they couldnt make grilled cheese for our baby. We had to leave when we were told again to wait 5 more min, again, waitress said she doesnt know what to say and all we can do is wait, she didnt care and wasnt apologetic. This was a birthday celebration for our friend and it was our go to place before this incident. I once saw something like that happened there before with another table, people left because their brunch food was still not out after an hour. Now this happened to us and of course we wont be coming back. If I would be an owner I would definitely look into this situation, this is not the first time, who knows how many people had similar experience and decided to take their business somewhere else. Again its a shame, we loved the place, but this disrespectful and unprofessional attitude we experienced from staff today made it impossible for us, as well as our friends and their families to come back.

Last night, there were four of us for dinner, plus a toddler, and the staff couldnt be any more amazing and kind. They brought the toddlers dinner out first, which we didnt even ask for (but was such a good move), and our waiter was attentive but unobtrusive. Its a wonderful space that offers a livelier bar area and a dining area upstairs that allows you to have a conversation and not scream at each other. Its perfect. The food is great--though they were out of the bangers and mash (fair play: it was Thursday, theyre on special).

LOVE this place! Ive been coming here for about 5 years now and the food is always delicious, drinks are great and service is spot on. They have a good selection of beer (bottle and draft) and some good house wines as well.

Great food, always fresh. The beer list is solid and the atmosphere is casual. This place is the cure for the typical overcrowded NYC restaurant.

Review №48

Completely disappointed by the food... It was a take-out order but I dont think that this was what went wrong about our order, since we live so close to the restaurant..We ordered fish & chips, which everything was soggy and was lacking of seasoning, the fries were almost burned the Mac and cheese was completely dry and seemed reheated and a mixed green salad which was also very basic...We spend $58 and we stayed hungry...! Not cool at all... Wont order again.

Roasted chicken was 2/3rds rock hard, 100% dry, and inedible. Wait staff was nice enough but because I tore it apart to show them how disgusting it was they said we ate it and would’t do any thing about it. When we told them they could discount it some because we ate the vegetables they said no.. so we told them we wouldn’t be back and they were fine with that.

The food was never amazing but it was a decent place to hang with a good vibe. Yesterday I walked in with a friend and we stood at the entrance for about 5 mins with no one even flinching our way. We asked the bartender if we needed to wait to be seated he said yes as long as we had our vaccine cards and proceeded to continue to ignore us again as if we weren’t standing there. We promptly left as you can imagine why we were ignored coming in. Will not be going here again.

Review №53

I was shocked by the unprofessionalism I experienced at this establishment. My girlfriend and I were at the bar when an employee (Short red head) without any justification, accused me of making them feel unsafe. I was immediately asked to leaveAfter I had already paid my tab and was preparing to leave, this same employee approached me to tell me I wasn’t allowed back. This accusation was completely unfounded The way this entire situation was handled—without any communication or fair treatment—was both embarrassing and unacceptable.I understand the need to maintain a safe environment, but there was no attempt to verify the claims, hear my side, or handle the situation professionally. For an industry that thrives on customer service and fairness, this kind of defamatory behavior is shocking. I left deeply disappointed and will not be returning.

The food is good, and very reasonably priced. a full bar with stools downstairs with all kinds of cool folks, a quieter dining area up stairs.You get crayons to draw on the papers the food come on, and if youre good, they might hang it on the walls.This is a good place to hang out at a bar, eat out, or have a talk.

Review №56

Beware this business calculates tips based on the total of the bill including tax. So, you might think you are tipping the waiter 20% instead you are going to tip them 28%. This is sleezy and you have to calculate the total before the tax yourself in front of everyone and the servers giving you a look...

Excellent place to go as they had a Valentines Day menu with 2-courses and dessert. The wait to be seated was less than 5 minutes. The wait for the meal was much, much longer.But due to the reasonable price, friendly service, and great-tasting food hard to take a star away for that issue.Highly recommended.

I met a knitting group here. These girls all live in the neighborhood except me. I commuted from Bayonne and it is very easy. The A train stops at 181st street and it was a half block walk to the restaurant. We sat at an outside booth facing the bridge; the most glorious pink sunset! Anyway, the food selections are very good, and I I understand that they have great Irish winter food selections too. My loaded hamburger was grilled perfectly and I was able to substitute salad for the french fries. We all had dinner and drinks and received separate checks which made everything easier. By the way, the group spoke highly of the Russian bakery, Moscow on the Hudson. So, you can get dessert on your way home if it is not too late in the evening! It looks like an interesting neighborhood to explore but wear hiking sandals. The streets are steep!хорошее здоровьеkhorosheye zdorovye

This is a place I always go when Im NYC, located in uptown at 181 st and Cabrini Boulevard, its pretty cool, you have a resto-pub with Irish air in the ground floor in which you can have a live jazz band once in a while and then you have a more quite restaurant in the second floor with good food and good service.

I came to this place together with a friend. We had 2x2 cocktails. When I was making a payment I was asked if I’m alright to pay $XX for cocktails I ordered. During the payment I noticed that in my receipt an additional cocktail was added. When I notified the personnel, I can’t say I felt they seemed surprised. Not accusing anyone, but I got a perception of getting scammed. Didnt like the experience

After having gone twice, they now know exactly what I want and how I want it. If you do go there, you absolutely must try their chicken parm; I am yet to find another as good at anywhere near that price.Some of the tables are a little wobbly which means that cutting your food will spill some drinks, but that can be circumvented if you simply select a table that is attached to a wall.Overall great service, great atmosphere, and great chicken parm (I havent tried anything else since I am more than satisfied with that).

Review №112

Tonights visit to La Cheile was unfortunately less than satisfactory. From the moment we entered, the service was lacking. Our waiter seemed inattentive, walking away before I could even finish ordering, and failing to confirm if we needed anything else.To add to the frustration, our food order was completely mishandled. Not only did we receive an extra order that we had to send back, but when our food finally arrived, my lamb burger was served raw. Upon bringing this to the staffs attention, it turned out our entire order was wrong.We requested to speak with the manager to address the issues, only to be informed they werent available that day. While the correct order was eventually brought to our table, the overall experience left us with little appetite and a desire to leave as soon as possible.Additionally, the lack of transparency regarding the happy hour special, which I only noticed due to the oversight with my drink order, was disappointing. The drink menu was hidden behind table items, making it difficult to discover.In the end, we opted to take our leftovers to go, feeling unsatisfied and disheartened by the experience. I hope the management takes this feedback constructively to improve their service and overall dining experience.

In a neighbourhood desert of decent pubs, this a gem, which we stumbled upon. Did not eat there (but were going back to because the food looked delicious) but the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Full restaurant upstairs. Close to the George Washington bridge. Lovely pub.

Updating my review as of 11/2/24 ordered ahead on grubhub arrived when the bar said to arrive to pickup at 6:55 pm (placed order @ 6:25pm) waited until 7:25 pm to finally get my food. This is unacceptable. If I was seated you mean to tell me I wouldve waited 1 hour to be served? I understand that kitchens can get overwhelmed so in that situation shut off delivery pickup options until you get it under control. Its 100% an option any restaurant has but greed over rules

Review №147

Very consistent uptown pub. No frills, not overly priced, some decent specials that rotate, basic pub food along with Irish fare. Rarely empty which in my mind means they do a lot right for a lot of people. Shot and beer specials are good. No complaints over the last year plus going. Will continue to frequent.

I was very disappointed. Worst pub food I’ve ever had and I’ve had lots of pub food. After waiting 15 minutes to be served we finally got drinks. I had a $6 beer which was good but then our food was awful. I had fish and chips and my boyfriend had the steak sandwich and both were supper soggy and bland. Such a disappointment. How do you screw up pub food? Plus our silverware was covered in stuff I attached a picture.

This is a great everyday bar to go to. They have fantastic drink specials all days of the week. I cant complain about any of the food, but I would say that some of it is a bit plain. Ive had success with the Irish food selections that they have, but some of their standard bar food is lacking a little bit. How does a burger not come with a single topping? I still make my way to this place a couple times a month though.

This place is a good, standard Irish bar, serving all the menu items you expect. I had the lamb burger and several drinks. The burger was absolutely flavourful and cooked perfectly. It was cooked medium rare and seasoned well to bring out the flavour of the lamb. The drinks were also made well, not watered down. The prices were fair but approaching the higher end, for an Irish bar and for the neighbourhood. The server was very helpful and friendly. The ambiance was cozy, the music not loud which is great for when you actually want to have a conversation with people at your table. I do recommend this spot.

Bad service. The servers were talking more than the costumers and playing with their phones, enjoying the life. At the same time they were not checking tables, or refilling waters, not giving a f… for their tables. Oh and clearly they were complaining it is slow and they don’t do money! The food was not bad but not good too. If you’re hungry you will eat it all.

My family has been getting together at Le Cheile for years. Recently we hosted a surprise party for my parents there and it was a great event. It was extremely easy to coordinate, the staff was friendly, it was a great space, and the food was great as always! We included meat and vegetarian options for the guests. And then we were able to bring the party downstairs into the early hours! Really loved our experience there and will continue coming back for drinks, meals, and meet ups!
