Lady Delilah, an LA Supper Club, Lands in Chelsea Nov. 3

A Los Angeles hot spot with a famously strict no-photos rule is heading underground in Chelsea. Lady Delilah, a New York spinoff of the supper club Delilah, is scheduled to open Tuesday, November 3, at 353 W. 14th Street, near Ninth Avenue, according to Eater New York.

The restaurant comes from the H.Wood Group, the Los Angeles hospitality company led by co-founders John Terzian and Brian Toll. It marks the group’s first New York restaurant. Terzian and Toll opened the original Delilah in Los Angeles in 2016, and the concept has since expanded to Las Vegas, Miami, and Dallas. The group also ran Delilah as a summer residency in Montauk.

Back in Los Angeles, the company runs flashy venues that Eater describes as drawing celebrity regulars including Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Kylie and Kendall Jenner, and Drake. The no-photos policy is a signature of the brand, and Eater reports it will be upheld in New York.

The Chelsea room is a 10,000-square-foot subterranean space with an Art Deco look. Guests enter through an archway lined with white tile meant to echo New York City subway stations. Inside, the design draws on vintage oak details, plush seating, chandeliers, and tiled vaulted ceilings. The layout includes a main dining room with space for live music and performances, plus two private dining rooms.

“Our vision was to design a space that celebrates the theatrical romance of the past, where eating, drinking and dancing come together effortlessly,” Terzian and Toll wrote in the press release, as quoted by Eater.

In the kitchen, H.Wood’s culinary director, chef Michael Teich, is overseeing a menu that leans toward modern American bistro fare. The bar will pour cocktails and spirits and offer bottle service.

Lady Delilah will open at 5 p.m. and stay open late, Tuesday through Sunday. Reservations are available through OpenTable.

For a neighborhood where the Meatpacking District’s after-dark scene meets Chelsea’s gallery-and-office weekday rhythm, a dinner-and-dancing room with live performance space is a notable arrival. Whether a Hollywood-bred, phone-free formula plays the same way on West 14th Street as it does on the West Coast will be clear once the doors open next month.
