I’ve been visiting Chez Messy since they opened about 2–3 years ago, and I’ve probably been back at least seven times. At first, I stopped by just because it was down the block but I quickly fell in love with their drinks and this amazing tapa they used to serve mushrooms with scallops and toasted bread. It was absolutely delicious! I went back recently after seeing their happy hour promo on Instagram. I hadn’t been since the winter and noticed there was another staff change, but the vibe was still on point. The manager, Antonio, was fantastic super welcoming, always checking in to see if we needed anything, but never in an overbearing way. I mentioned how much I missed the mushrooms and scallops dish, and to my surprise, he brought out the chef to chat about it. That was a really cool and personal touch. Overall, Chez Messy is a chill, stylish spot with great music, upscale aesthetics, and an inviting team. The drinks are strong and tasty, the food is flavorful with a spicy twist, and bonus they serve hookah too if thats your thing. If you’re looking for a relaxed yet classy place to hang out, I definitely recommend giving Chez Messy a try.

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.

This place is a vibe. I’m a regular and they always make me feel so welcome. I love coming in for flamenco night on Wednesdays. I also brought my mom and grandma there for Mother’s Day and the head chef Donna came out to personally introduce herself and offered my family complimentary dessert. You can tell the chef really takes pride in her work and she makes everything with love. Ray is amazing. He always takes great care of me and makes great drinks. Josh, Ricardo and Gigi are great as well.

I completely understand why this place has a 5 star rating! EVERYTHING from the vibes to the food, drinks, and staff is absolutely on point. I had the privilege of trying a new dish: the Citrus Meat Butter (Bone Marrow), and let me tell you, it gives Michelin star energy. The marrow was perfectly cooked — creamy, buttery, and savory — and paired beautifully with a bright, fresh arugula salad. The dressing was light and citrusy, cutting through the richness just right. The grilled crostini ? Chef’s kiss. I tried their Old Fashioned; both smoked and unsmoked. It was excellent both ways. The Smashing Berries cocktail, which was strong but balanced with just the right amount of sweet and tart. I happened to visit on a Thursday and was pleasantly surprised to discover it was Ladies’ Night happy hour all night for the ladies. I Love a good unexpected perk! This spot is a cozy hidden treasure, and I can already tell it’s going to be my new goto. I Can’t wait to come back and explore more of the menu. I will say this if they release more items like the bone marrow, I really don’t think it will be long until the secret is out. Oh, I found out at the end of the night they have hookah too.

This place is a hidden gem! The ambience of the restaurant is beautiful. I feel like I want to take a picture of the whole place. Messiah was very helpful along with Landon. I enjoy the DJ too. The staff was on point and attentive.. the food was absolutely wonderful..very tasty and well seasoned. My friend came with me and enjoyed the food as well and the desert.. I can't wait to return .I advise anyone to come to this restaurant.. today's low fusion spot that you would enjoy. Just make sure you make that right turn if you're coming from uptown on Broadway or else that left turn and you will see it.. KUDOS TO THE SPOT AND I WISH THEM WELL..

Everything was phenomenal. From the minute we sat down, they were attentive and sold us on the mofongitos and the shredded beef empanadas. They were so good, but my favorite was the mofongitos, the sweet plantains with everything on it was amazing. My girls and I ordered mojitos and margaritas for drinks and it was so nice and refreshing. I ordered my mojito with no simple sugar and it was still well-balanced and easy to drink.
