Chez Messy is the definition of a neighborhood hidden gem—unassuming from the outside, yet delivering an experience that easily justifies traveling across the city. There’s an immediate sense of care the moment you walk in, from the warm welcome to the thoughtfully curated atmosphere. It’s the kind of place that feels rooted in its community while still offering a level of quality and execution that stands out well beyond the neighborhood. The food is where Chez Messy truly shines. The octopus is a standout, expertly cooked to achieve that perfect balance of tenderness and char, bringing out deep, savory flavors in every bite. The salmon is equally impressive—rich, delicate, and cooked with precision—while the steak and egg is indulgent, satisfying, and beautifully balanced, showcasing bo

A Spectacular Transition: Speakeasy Vibe to Dance Floor! We chose Chez Mezzy for a much-needed girls' night out celebrating a birthday on Saturday, and it was truly spectacular—the best decision we could have made. A Hidden Gem in the middle of Washington Heights. From the moment you arrive you feel you are somewhere else. The atmosphere alone is worth the five stars. It begins with a sophisticated speakeasy vibe, perfect for conversation and settling in, but then seamlessly transitions into a high-energy lounge! The shift in energy, perfectly orchestrated by DJ John, was phenomenal. Hearing those classic '90s jams made us drop our menus and stay way past dessert. If you’re looking for a spot that promises more than just a meal, this is it. The culinary and cocktail teams deserve endless p

WOW! Chez Messy is an INSTANT new fav!!! We absolutely love the atmosphere! From across the street to the inside - this place just feels awesome. Cocktails - Mezcal-based were fantastic! The Citrus Marrow - OMG!!The chef presented two options to us - never experienced that. The finished product sent me...... Everything we tested was cooked to perfection and incredible. The staff? Attentive, friendly, and inviting. Will be back with reinforcements!!!!

Food should get 0 stars. Omg so bad! This chef has no idea how to use salt because absolutely EVERYTHING we ordered was salty as hell. Had to send my plate back because she overcooked my steak so bad all I tasted was the char from the grill, nasty. Drank so much water with this meal just to be able to eat it. Do not go here, I repeat DO NOT GO HERE! Drinks are fine but food, not worth it. 4.8 stars where? Y’all lied! My man is a foodie and couldn’t even finish his food cuz it was so salty. Overall, you want to have a chill spot for some drinks with a friend come here. You hungry and wanna eat, do yourself a favor and save your coins and go anywhere else.

Can’t wait to go back! This little place is a hidden gem. Antonio and his staff paid attention to details and made our night stand out. We arrived on a Wednesday during happy hour. All of the tapas plates and desserts were delicious. Their cocktails were well crafted. The atmosphere was lively and fun. This particular evening, they had a great salsa band perform. Everything was so enjoyable. We had a great time. Would definitely recommend.
