Cafe Select

Loved cafe select for the $39/pp fondue meal! We ate and ate and ate! Service was mildly slow getting water but otherwise we loved the ambience and got into the private room in the back which has 2 tables of 3 people.

Nice European-style café with a Swiss-inspired menu. We had the cheese fondue, which was good, but as a Swiss person I wouldn’t say it’s comparable to fondue in Switzerland. Everything is quite expensive. For dessert, I ordered the Engadine nut cake and was honestly disappointed: it was more like a pecan nut cake and wasn’t authentic at all. Overall a nice spot, but a bit overpriced and not fully true to the Swiss classics.

Great Swiss restaurant centrally located in SoHo. The bratwurst with rösti was delicious and very satisfying. And lovely Zürcher Geschnetzeltes and rösti with raclette cheese. Nice wine selection too including some Swiss wines such as Chasselas. Great outdoor seating perfect for people watching. Nice Swiss-inspired decor throughout the restaurant. Short of traveling to Zurich or Basel, this is the next best thing.

Giving this pace 4 starts because 1. when we went in the summer there was no AC, so it was a bit hot and 2. I thought my salad was extremely mediocre and was very watery on the bottom. We were there pretty early on a weeknight (around 6:30pm) and didn’t have to wait in line to get seated, but the spot looked pretty busy around 8pm. Overall, if you’re in the area and looking to grab something and people watch, this is a good spot, but I wouldn’t travel to eat here.

Vibes are good. Drinks are okay. Service is bad. One of the servers spilled outrageously on my friend and didn't even apologize. She forgot to bring our orders multiple times and didn't seem to care
