• wedding welcome dinner, party of 26

  We booked the 26-person (note there is absolutely no wiggle room for going above that) private room on the second floor of Locanda Verde for our wedding weekend welcome dinner and could not be more thrilled with our decision! The space is absolutely gorgeous. The painted murals on the wall create an elegant, upscale and unique ambiance. From the start of the event to end, the manager and waitstaff were extremely professional, accommodating and warm. They read the energy in the room and accommodated us when the stationed aperitivi portion of the night ran long. Each dish, from appetizers, entrees to desserts was exceptionally delicious and perfectly cooked, and all of our guests commented so. The family size portions were bountiful and our guests we had plenty to take home to enjoy later. The chefs and waitstaff were careful to note each guest's dietary restrictions, and generously accommodated them by providing substitute dishes seamlessly. In short, the private and warm ambiance along with the fine dining quality food made for a magical night we will not forget!

• private room birthday

  We celebrated my wife’s birthday here in the private dining room. Everything was exceptional. The vibe, food and service was top. Thank you to the whole team for making our evening memorable!

• private event dinner

  Recently attended a private event with a pre-selected 4-course menu. I mentioned I am vegan, and they brought me something separate - vegan AND DELICIOUS for every course!

• birthday dinner, party of 5

  I typically do not engage in this manner, but I feel compelled to share my experience this time. I made my first reservation at Locanda Verde, located in Hudson’s Yard, on Saturday, April 18, and I must say, the experience was exceptional, rated 10/10. The service was commendable, the food was delightful, and the staff assigned to my table were exceedingly kind. Consequently, due to the pleasant experience I had on that occasion, I decided to host a dinner celebration for my birthday in June. I spoke with the manager on duty that day, as well as with Dailyn Aquino, a host who is remarkably sweet and considerate, and she kindly arranged the reservation for my birthday celebration. Everything was organized, and when my birthday arrived, we went to the restaurant and I requested to be seated on the second floor. The first issue we encountered was with the waiter/server, who displayed unprofessionalism and disrespect in his treatment of us. To our surprise, the food was served before our drinks, despite having ordered the drinks prior to the food. The service felt rushed, and the staff appeared inattentive, making us feel as though we were a bother to him. We were merely a party of five, yet the server's rudeness was evident, especially when we attempted to take pictures, which seemed to annoy him greatly. This experience was particularly disheartening for me, as it was my birthday and I had hoped for a pleasant celebration. As a result, we requested the bill, paid for our meal, and left only a $20 tip due to our disappointment with the service. On our way out, the manager on duty inquired about our experience, to which we responded with confusion. She remarked that it was due to the lack of a substantial tip. It is important to note that tipping is optional, not mandatory. We explained that we had indeed left a tip, and with an air of arrogance, she pulled out the $20 bill and questioned, '$20?' We affirmed this amount, citing the abysmal service we received. I understand that a restaurant's reputation can suffer from a negative experience, but I felt it necessary to bring this to attention so that the restaurant can better prepare its staff to provide quality service to customers, as we are the ones spending our money. My experience was horrible, wishing I could have leave ZERO star.

• friends group lunch, party of 8

  8 of us showed up on a sunny day in May for lunch. We were looking for outside dining, with a hint of sophistication. We were not disappointed. Well, maybe at first we were. The service was a little slow, and the staff seemed to be a little out of sorts. Come to find out they were not planning on serving outside that day, the weather had been horrible all week. It was a last minute decision. The staff could not have been more gracious to such a large party of woman. All of our selections could not have been better. The wine and cocktails were delicious. The complimentary desserts were just an added touch that made this occasion more special and memorable. Thank you to all the staff that treated us so special. We will return on our next visit. Alice and friends
