Named with a nod to a social club The Lambs — whose roster of Broadway and film actor members included John Wayne and Fred Astaire — The Chatwal, A Luxury Collection Hotel’s signature restaurant combines the past and present in an art deco design that’s both welcoming and sleek, with bright red leather banquettes and lacquered wood wall panels. On one side of the beautifully designed dining room stands a fully restored 18th-century French limestone fireplace, and the overall atmosphere radiates an elegant clubhouse feel — a perfect fit for New York’s Theater District.
A native Manhattanite, chef Jack Louge serves modern takes on classic American cuisine with a distinctively New York flair. At breakfast, New Yorkers and hotel guests fuel up on omelets, but they also come lunch and dinners featuring juicy steaks and seafood like ponzu-infused tuna tartare. Situated just a block from Times, Square, The Lambs Club also provides a convenient setting for a pre- or post-theater bite.
