Smorgas Chef Village

What a lovely restuarant! I was pleasantly surprised by my experience here! I was wondering through the West Village with my friends looking for a place to eat and randomly picked this place. The service was incredibly friendly and attentive. Everyone liked what they ordered, and the interior space is spacious and beautiful. I will definitly be coming back with friends. Pros: Great Service, Beautiful Space, Great Meatballs Cons: Can't think of any. more

I was hesitant to enter the land of herring and...herring? Smorgas Chef is a charming restaurant, with pleasant and attentive service, and amazing food. The open-faced sandwich I tried had fluffy scrambled eggs and the silkiest smoked salmon I've ever had, and I've eated a lot of lox over the years! If you can get the window seat, it's fantastic. The cozy booths and tables in the back are generously spaced. Our cream of mushroom soup was yummy, the beet salad was delish, and the mains were great. There are chicken, lamb and beef along with the expected herring on the menu, and the special cocktails were yummy, althogh they could've stood in for dessert. Wines by the glass are reasonable and varied. Lots of special deals, as well. Tuesdays, take a friend and one entree is free - value of 22-28 dollars! Happy hours/two for one drinks as well. Pros: Food, Pleasant Atmosphere, Service Cons: Can't Think of One more

Pros: Fairly Priced, Great Cocktails, Great Location more
