• private event

  We went there for an event. Food was okay, not authentic Korean, but they were beautiful curated.

• birthday with friends

  I celebrated my birthday with friends at a modern restaurant. The dining room was well-designed, and the food had many appealing options. The taste was enjoyable, and the prices were reasonable. I will definitely return.

• business dinner

  Had dinner on Wednesday 11/14. Lovely venue well appointed comfortable dining room. Staff is extremely welcoming and pleasant. But don't be fooled-they are well trained to upsell you and your party on expensive cocktails, high end wine, champagne and after dinner drinks.Very smooth and well trained salespeople. Food was nicely presented but was mostly ok.Since it was $165 for the tasting course,I enjoyed the experience but there was not one item I found incredibly delicious. 2 things that disturbed me: They allowed the ala carte menu in the dining room, but Nash did not inform us- and the party next to ours had much more quantity and more interesting food than us.True regrets on that. Disturbingly, after spending 330+ a person,the waiter charge me $9 for a tiny side of rice to go with the fried chicken( which was not very good btw)...just super ridiculous. With business associates in Rock Center, I frequently dine in the area often. I am aware of the high cost to be a restaurant venue here. Unfortunately, I feel very ripped off from the experience here.

• group lunch, party of 4

  The staff was very kind and that made dining at Naro a pleasant experience. My group of 4 went during lunch time and it was not very busy- we would have appreciated being told that if part of the table is getting the pre-fixe, then everyone has to get the pre-fixe. Two members of the group planned to get the pre-fixe, while the other two wanted a la carte items. After we had all decided, we were informed that the restaurant's preference was that we all get the pre-fixe, which was confusing because we would be spending more money paying a la carte than we would otherwise. Our servers, very kindly, inquired back and forth with management about us being able to order a la carte. This resulted in it taking thirty minutes to place our orders. The food itself was good. I wouldn't suggest the Naro bowl if you've had good wagyu before (so maybe they were looking out for me when they wanted me to order from the pre-fixe), but the soy marinated salmon was excellent. The chocolate mousse dessert also wasn't particularly good. The servers gave us two scoops of sorbet on the house, which was very kind of them. I'm glad I went once, but I'm not itching to return.
