Cafe
A polished café with French-leaning dinner ambition.
Cheminé is a $ Cafe restaurant on the Blackbird network. Check in on Blackbird when you visit.
Why go
Cheminé is listed as a café, but the reviews point to something more composed: a $$$$ room for elegant, contemporary French-leaning cooking, with a 4.4 Google rating from 191 reviews. Diners call out dishes like Uni French toast, cod cheek, and Pithiviers Terre et Mer as chic, creative, and well executed.
The service story is just as strong as the food story. Reviewers mention attentive hospitality, a manager smoothing over a booking mistake, Ronan making a wine recommendation, and Chef Alexia personally discussing dishes at the table. The mood is polished without sounding stiff: pre-dinner drink, dinner, or nightcap all appear to fit.
A reviewer who lives in Paris said Cheminé rivaled the best meals they have had there.

So happy to have Le Chêne in the neighborhood — wonderful for pre-dinner drink / snack or a nightcap in addition to a wonderful dinner with well-executed French food that’s been given a contemporary NYC twist. Team is always so welcoming and warm. Would highly recommend!
