- corporate retirement party
My company had a retirement get together for one of our colleagues. The service was impeccable and the food was amazing. They offer a great happy hour menu as well. They personalized our menus for the event and were very helpful in the planning process. Would definitely keep them in mind for future company events.
- company holiday party, party of 11
If you’re looking for a new restaurant to try in New York City, I would make this your next stop! The food was outstanding in the traditional David Burke style. Everything was perfectly seasoned, the salad had just the right amount of vinaigrette, and the presentation is over the top. We had our company Christmas party here for 11 people and everyone had a fantastic time. The special events coordinator helped me out for the large party and she was so accommodating and efficient, as was our server. If you dine here, make sure you leave room for dessert. The cake pop tree with the cotton candy would have even the most jaded diner leaving with a smile! Enjoy, and make sure to order a “Clothes line Bacon 🥓” for the table! Enjoy!!
- catered office luncheon
I recently worked with Tatiana and the team to cater a luncheon for my colleagues at SMBC in the building. The food was excellent, and the delivery service was right on time. It is so valued for me, (out of towner) to work with such a professional team on the ordering process, who execute flawlessly. If you need a catered lunch, call this team. Your colleagues will cheer you!
- group dinner
The food is ok. But the speed is really unbearable and unacceptable. The food is being served super slowly. We came in as a group. Some people ordered both entrees, and others only ordered the second entree. They serviced first entrees first, leaving the tables for folks who didn’t order first entree empty. What is worse, they didn’t service the second entrees until 1 hour after we sat down. This is after the most people on our table finished their first entrees. And for the people who didn’t order first entrees, they had to sit without anything to eat for more than an hour.
- team dinner
Made a last minute reservation for my team and was not disappointed. Not only were they accommodating, the service, happy hour, food and drinks were amazing. Looking forward to booking again. Thank you to Mitzy for helping coordinate! :)
