In Chelsea, you'll find a great restaurant called Cafeteria. It's high energy and lively atmosphere upstairs with is chic and relaxing atmosphere downstairs in lounge, both have the impression of a good time. Tonight, was the 5th time I've gone to Cafeteria and it never fails me. Usually I'd order the Pear Mimosa or a White Grape Martini for drinks, and for dinner the Meatloaf. But this time I order from the appetizers.

The apps are so huge you can really barely finish them unless you have been starving all day! I had the Spinach and Artichoke Dip, Dan had Tomato Basil Soup, Sarah had the Mac Attack and for dessert, we each had a gigantic slice of the Red Velvet Cake.

Dan's Tomato Basil Soup had a very velvety flavor, with burst of Tomato and clearly was a winner for him. It also comes with two chunks of grilled cheese croutons in the middle, basil and sour cream. This came to a total of 8.00.

Sarah's Mac Attack consists of three small bowls of Mac an Cheese. The first one is regular, Cheddar and Fontina cheeses. This brings you back to when your mom made it from scratch and not from the box! The middle is a Truffle Oil, I personally didn't like this one because it was just to oily for my taste. The third and the absolute best is the Bacon and Gouda! This one is my favorite. It has everything you want all in one! With a smokey taste and a creamy texture this one is most definitely a winner. Its 13.00 for the tasting of all 3, but if you want them individually they are 8.00 with the exception of adding 1.00 in the Bacon and Gouda and 3.00 for the Truffle Oil.

My Warm Spinach and Artichoke Dip is a great flavor for the mouth. It comes with a tower of Garlic Croutons that look like flat bread, that are kinda salty but thats were the dip comes in. Spreading the dip on the croutons, makes the salty flavor melt into the dip. Its creamy, delicious, and will take your taste buds away to the next level. It costs 10.00 and remember you can share this appetizer with a friend for sure. I can never finish it!

Since we were there for Sarah's birthday, we decided to taste their Red Velvet Cake, with Cream Cheese Frosting. Now the cake was good, not the best I have ever had but good. The frosting was so sweet I thought that I would develop diabetes right then and there. Most definitely you can split this cake with another person, maybe even three people because it is way to overly served for just one. The cake is 8.00.

Overall our experience at Cafeteria was a great time with the exceptions of the bus boy, not our waiter who brought out the cake and when we told them it was Sarah's birthday they didn't even bother to sing. He just brought out the cake and left. Blew my mind because anytime I have gone there, they have always sung to the birthday person.

it's a great late night find and is always open! 24 hours a day!
