A word from Ed's Chowder House

Delivering the bounty of the eastern shore line to the Upper West Side is Ed’s Chowder House, a new restaurant by Chef Ed Brown (chef/owner of Michelin Star-rated restaurant eighty one) and China Grill Management. Inspired by the ports of the East Coast, Brown’s refined yet unpretentious take on… authentic “sea shack cuisine” features signature seafood in a vibrant, energetic setting complete with a raw bar and a full-service Chowder Bar serving crisp cocktails, cold microbrews, namesake chowders, steamers, lobster rolls and more.Continued

"All around good experience. Food was well prepared and the wait staff was very attentive. Good thing because we were sat half an hour after our reservation. The maître d was aware of the tardiness and furnished us with menus so we could get a sense of what we wanted to order when seated. Not an ideal situation, but we had an 8 o'clock show. We ordered as soon as we sat which allowed for the meal to arrive at a pace that wasn't rushed. Our entire party enjoyed their meal, and I would certainly return. Considering our inauspicious start, I consider our evening a success. It is a must if you are attending an event at Lincoln Center."

"Good for pre and post theatre as it is located across from Lincoln Center. A tad pricey for what it is, but they must get a large theatre and tourist crowd. This meas was much better than previous dining at Ed's."

"The food was average at best and mediocre at worse. I appreciated having the coffeepot left on table so I didn't have to seek out the waiter for a refill. Altogether however, the meal was rushed - appetizer served shortly after cocktails were served, busboys constantly removing plates from table. My dining "experience" was concluded in an hour. Expensive except for the prix fixe."

"WE had a great experiance enhanced by our Waiter Omar. Omar took great care of the table and made the day fun. Please ask for Omar if you are dining at Ed's Chowder House. My son's would like to add that the Old Fashions they drank were the best they have every had.
