The semi-private booths offer a more relaxed alternative for smaller crews, while built-in TVs in the private spaces let you seamlessly blend business presentations with pleasure. Located in the heart of Midtown, this 4.5-star gem delivers restaurant-quality sophistication with the flexibility to make any group occasion feel genuinely special.",
