Chambers is what happens when a world-class sommelier decides she's done being the support act.

Editorial review•Jan 13, 2026

Chambers is what happens when a world-class sommelier decides she's done being the support act. Pascaline Lepeltier — a Master Sommelier with a James Beard-nominated program at Racines NY under her belt — didn't just take over the old Racines space on West 28th; she rebuilt it around a wine list that clears 2,000 bottles, all biodynamic, organic, or natural, selected on the basis of farming philosophy rather than appellation prestige. That's not a marketing angle. That's a point of view held by someone who has spent a career articulating exactly why it matters. The room she inherited (brick walls, open kitchen, long bar) has been refined rather than erased, and the result is a place that feels lived-in without feeling neglected — the kind of New York room that makes you want to stay through a second bottle. Chef Jon Karis, who came up at Gramercy Tavern, runs a weekly-changing menu that reads as a direct argument for seasonal New York cooking over trend-chasing. Two dishes have surfaced consistently in coverage: Veal Sweetbreads with Tokyo turnips and garlic chives, and Snowdance Chicken with spinach, sherry and thyme. The sweetbreads signal where Karis's ambitions sit — this is offal treated with the care it deserves, paired with a Japanese turnip variety that speaks to a kitchen paying attention to specifics. The chicken dish leans into classic French herb-and-wine technique while using a named heritage bird, which in New York dining shorthand means the sourcing is part of the point. Forbes called the menu a "template for modern American cuisine," and The New York Times awarded two stars — both assessments consistent with a kitchen that treats the food as a serious partner to the wine program rather than an afterthought. The move here is to put yourself in Lepeltier's hands on the wine, at least partly. The list is deep enough to be intimidating, but a sommelier-driven program of this caliber is built for exactly the moment when you say "I'm eating the sweetbreads, what do we do?" Sit at the bar if you want to engage with that conversation directly. The menu changes weekly, so checking the current iteration before you go isn't optional — it's how you plan the night. Book ahead; a two-star Times review and a James Beard semifinalist nod for the beverage program have done what those things always do to reservation availability.
