We are a first come first serve all day restaurant. Walk-ins of all party sizes are encouraged at any time!

Our journey started on a quiet West Village street called Carmine. Two brothers, Dave and Pete, made a bold decision. Without any business experience, any real plan, or anything resembling a thought beyond getting through the day, we opened a restaurant. What we had lacked in experience we made up for with spirit and creativity. We did not want to be businessmen. We were artists. Our little shop at 33 Carmine St. was our original canvas. We set out with a simple mission: to create a place where people would want to be. We named it after our dogs, Moose and Goose Lane. Our Chelsea location opened three years later in 2010.

    Overall positive experience. I do however find that often when I go to the trouble of making a reservation I get the small table directly (in this setting - 2 feet) from the bathroom door. The door literally opened onto the table. The shouldn’t be a table there to begin with but by making a reservation you get punished because another table doesn’t truly get set aside. You get the table all the walk ins did not want. I did ask for a switch and they were beyond gracious about it but it’s hard to start your experience asking for a table switch. I happened to be entertaining a guest from out of town and I had to speak up. It’s awkward.
    The Grey Dog - ChelseaResponded on February 15, 2025
    Hi Jeanne, my apologies about the table mix up situation. I'm happy this didn't ruin your experience with us and you enjoyed your visit with us! Anytime we're able to make seating accommodations we always will! Come back to see us!

    First time at Grey Dog - came for lunch on a Monday afternoon. Although it wasn’t that busy, you get the sense that it is a place that emphasizes attention to their diners. Our server was attentive but not intrusive. As for the food, the portions are fairly large and delicious. I had the salted carmel pancakes… I know I said ‘lunch’ but they sounded great on the menu and they did not disappoint! We also had the turkey sandwich which tasted like it was right from the bird! Along with the sweet potato fries, it was a great meal! This is definitely a ‘let’s go back’ place! Bravo!
    The Grey Dog - ChelseaResponded on February 12, 2025
    Thanks for the kind words Bob! We're delighted to know that you not only enjoyed your food but your service as well! Come back and see us again soon - Lots of great things on our menu for you to try

    The food was mediocre. Not worth it for the price. While the vibe of the restaurant is cool, it is really tight and you will likely be sitting on top of the table next to you. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this place, but it is fine if you need somewhere in the area to go.
