Review content:
I love Klee - I have eaten there many, many times and believe that, contrary to the review below, it is (somehow) getting better, not worse. The restaurant is simply gorgeous - chic, without being pretentious or overwrought. The service is warm and welcoming. And the food is just spectacular - the tarte flambee, the pastas, the mushroom chowder, the lobster roll, the schnitzel, the desserts - just spectacular. One of the many things I love about Klee is that it was designed with the customer in mind - the food, while glorious, isn't about the ego of the chef, it is about creating a delicious, comforting and accessible experience - but it's never boring - creating that balance is very difficult and Klee pulls it off beautifully. Similarly, the hostess, the manager, the sommelier, the bartenders, the waiters, the runners - they focus on you, the customer, in a way that is sorely lacking at most restaurants. And have you tried the brunch?? Fantastic. New Yorkers should be thrilled about the addition of Klee to the restaurant scene and, as someone who lives in Chelsea, I feel blessed to have it in my neighborhood.
Pros: The food, the setting, the warmth of the service
