    The food was fresh and tasty, just what we needed for a late lunch. The service was fantastic, incredibly welcoming and great suggestions around the food and drinks.

    We had Father's Day brunch at HOWM - the food was fine, nothing memorable, but the ambiance was really lovely - we sat on the rooftop and it was quite beautiful and quiet. Very close to the Highline, which was a plus for an after-brunch walk.

    Hopefully better signage is coming. We would not have known where to enter except that I heard music and opened a door that led to a quiet bar and front desk attendant who pointed me to the back patio. There was one table of four that I could tell had been served otherwise we would have turned around and left. No patrons nor servers were visible. We sat a LONG time before someone finally appeared. Maybe this is a new business but it felt really awkward and the server did not seem knowledgeable. We ordered two glasses of wine but had to ask for water once our food came. Food was decent but we were eating in a ghost town. Hopefully, business and level of service will pickup for them (maybe it’s an evening spot?) but the $80 tab was not reflective of a quality experience.

    It had just stopped raining so they wouldn’t seat us in the garden where we wanted to sit. Atmosphere & food was mediocre. The instagram pictures make it look way cooler than it is. And service was blah - no personality or conversational people. Just a quick “what would you like?.” We hardly saw our server. The garden looked scenic. I would only return if I could sit there. Otherwise I’d never recommend this spot. NYC has so much more to offer.

    It was odd that on a Saturday night it was very empty. Nice for a night out when you don’t feel like being around crowds. The decor is beautiful. The service was ok- the server was nice but there was another gentleman there that seemed uncomfortable. Too cold for outside area. The espresso martini was awesome. Didn’t have much food except for the yuca fries and they were bland so hesitated to order more.

    Got to the restaurant and they told us they were overbooked and wouldn’t guarantee seating - despite having a confirmed reservation. Asked us to wait indefinitely. Unfortunately there were multiple other parties in the same boat, and the maitre-d didn’t result have a system to track parties or their wait times. It was very unprofessional. We decided to leave after waiting for a while.

    There were only two other tables there, but they didn't really serve us. Food order was wrong, cold and chicken was questionable. Views were beautiful, but food and service could be much better.

    My wife and I Had dinner at HOWM restaurant Located at Selina in Chelsea New York. I must say the ambulance was Spectacular! The garden is beautifully decorated with wonderful murals , the furniture is modern an extremely comfortable and complemented by beautiful weather. Melina G was our server. She was attentive, courteous, professional and gave us wonderful recommendations. Paul was also amazing and extremely pleasant. The presentation of the signature guacamole was phenomenal and complemented by great taste. The mini Churrasco was perfectly cooked, tender, moist, and extremely tasty. However the star of the night was the chicken à la Brasa- guava glazed with delicious contif tomatoes and Rosemary. By far the best chicken I’ve ever had in my life. I will come back, many compliments to the chef

    The decor in this place is nice but that's it. The menu is very limited for both drinks and food and this is why the review isn't great. The hotel is holding up this restaurant because it was EMPTY on a Saturday, including the rooftop.

    We absolutely loved our experience, it was me and 3 guests and our two dogs. The staff was very on top of things and everything was good from the specialty drinks and food, my pup wasn’t a fan of the food but he is a very picky guy, his brother though devoured it and wanted thirds, they both loved the desert for the dogs they definitely wanted seconds. Highly recommend if you would love to take your dogs out somewhere with other dogs being there too and definitely recommend bringing a water bowl and fan with your pup to make sure they stay cool! I would definitely come here again. It is in a area away from the sun

    We joined for the puppy brunch on Sundays - we paid the full price and did not get either the human or puppy desserts that we were supposed to get with the package. None of the “dog experiences” they tout on the site were there. They charge same rate whether you have a dog or not. Our waitress was hardly to be seen and when she was she would just complain about being busy and then not come back / forget our orders (the place wasn’t even near half full). The whole experience was overpriced (given we didn’t get it all) and underwhelming. Don’t bother!

    We went for the puppy experience, and it was pretty terrible. We had to ask the waiter several times for the puppy food, and he forgot multiple times. The fries were excellent, but everything else was pretty bad. The French toast was soggy, and the churros were rock hard. The burger was just okay. Overall this was NOT worth $40/person.
