The vibes were great, cocktails were flowing and definitely on the strong side. The oysters are definitely one of the best ones I’ve tasted in NYC. Big shoutouts to our server Erin for going above and beyond in accommodating my friends dietary restrictions and her overall service.

The boys on Chrystie have done it again! This used to be Rochelle’s and has been revamped in the style and vision of 205. It’s a very beautiful space. The oysters were fresh and cocktails were lights out! The vibe is elevated without being stuffy. Definitely would go back!
