Dinner Party was so unique and a wonderful experience. The staff was AMAZING. They were so attentive and helpful. The mocktails were super tasty , but I will say a little more on the expensive side for something that had no alcohol. All of the dishes were phenomenal. Everything was super fresh and flavorful. I loved getting to try new things at this meal. It was truly such a great experience from the decor to the food; it was so unique and I dream about coming back again when I visit NY.

What a cool and cozy space for a low key dinner! I took hubs here for a bday dinner recently. Wednesday is their a la carte and tasting meal day. You can opt for either option. We did the a lacarte. Started w a bartender special cocktail that was light and lemony with prosecco and gin. We shared the anchovy focaccia bread with tomato spread. This was delicious. We both got nectarine and sun gold gazpacho which was light and refreshing. For our main i had the crab raviolo with shishito which was ok- just way saltier than it needed to be and the crab was just ok quality. The breaded chicken Milanese was good. Crispy and well seasoned. I could have used a bit more strawberry hot sauce. We split the dessert which was a peach gelato and earl grey sable. I was happy to get the chance to visit. It was a nice treat.

I thought the space was really pretty and nice but the price was quite high for what was included. Also we were told too last minute that we had to leave when there was only 10min left, that's when they served the ending champagne glasses but also started clearing our table. It was super chaotic and could've been handled so much better.

I got married at Dinner Party in December - we were the first wedding there, we were very honored. We had an intimate brunch reception with our closest family and friends, it was super special. We also did the actual ceremony near the window - while everyone stood around. It was perfect. I couldn't ask for a better venue. The ambiance, the food, the staff were all 10/10! Mike, Hayley and Katherine are incredible, they are highly communicative and supportive. They let us choose cocktails, and food options for our wedding, they were so flexible and made every single guest feel welcome. We were honored to share our most special moments with Dinner Party. We also get to go back every anniversary! Thank you!

I wanted to love this place so much, it's such a cool idea, but I was honestly disappointed with every meal. The menu constantly changes - it's preset. The food lacked flavor and I feel their food plating is very inconsistent. I appreciated they could accommodate my vegetarian friend. However, the next to my friend and I got their pasta with very little broth. You can find the name of each dish in the photos. Service was okay. It was hard to get the waiter's attention. The ambiance was really cool though, especially the table setting.

Just had dinner here. Was very excited but somehow left wanting more. I felt somewhat sided by them as well. The vibe wanted to give home country house vibe, but it dint deliver on other fronts. The food was bomb but we had a reservation at 6:30, and weren't served dinner until 8pm. That would've ok if drinks and apps were flowing but the service was slow. The staff was great and very friendly. The food did not disappoint. But we heard from others and from them eventually that we were taking too long at the table which was totally dependent on them serving us. The wine selection is ok. The food was divine. I left expecting and wanting more. Bill for 3 people was around $500 before tip. That included 3 - 3 course prefix, 4 cocktails, 2 glasses of wine, and one bottle of wine, which all seems reasonable. I'm not running back. The food, however, was really good. I'd go back, but not soon.

Overall rating: 4.4 I have been wanting to go here for ages. I can't remember how I found out about it, but definitely felt like a unique, nyc experience. I've tried a few times to get reservations but also gave up & did a prefix menu for tuesday. When my friend and I arrived on time, like the email & sign explicitly says - they weren't even open. It was a weird welcoming experience because at the shared tables, they have you sit next to each other vs across the table. So talking is kinda awkward. I thought the chef was going to say something, but we just went into the first course at 8:05pm. The first course was interesting. I think the biggest thing I didn't realize is, the actual experience is a dinner party. Aka if you're done eating and other people at other parties are still eating, you're hanging out a bit. Or the flip side, if you're a slow eater - there's some pressure to eat faster. My predicament. the food was goood but was it waiting good. Was it peer pressure good? When it was dessert time, the staff did start serving per individual group which felt better. But at the end of it all, you had to leave. It was definitely more of an experience than anything. I won't be going back but I do think it's better with large group of friends. It's a very tiny spot, so more people might feel more intimate with a larger party. So happy I didn't go solo!

salad with summer melon

What an awesome night out! I've wanted to try this spot for a while and decided to do it now that I'm a week from moving out of town. A lot of times, going to a restaurant alone means feeling a bit hurried so you can be replaced by a larger party but I didn't feel rushed at all. Food was awesome and great sized portions - the stereotype with fancy/expensive is "tiny plates" but I found these were satisfying in size without being wasteful. Favorite course was the bread, a polenta sourdough with whipped ricotta. Perfect juxtaposition of crunch and fluffy, melt in your mouth. After that, the dessert was amazing, the salad was so fresh with perfectly juicy melon, and the entree steak was solid... but the cauliflower that came with it! such a nice char, the vibe was like... if roasted asparagus were assigned cauliflower at birth. Anyway so glad I came and would absolutely do again for a romantic date, or special meal, or a celebration... I'm a public school teacher, so even the lower price on Tuesdays is a splurge

Love the vibes here, the restaurant feels so homey and welcoming, and they have a lot of cool art on the walls. Our server/bartender was so friendly and ready with recommendations too. I chose the communal style dining and it was fun getting to know the folks around me. Given the quality of the meal, it was absolutely worth the price. Everything tasted fresh and delicious, dishes were artfully presented, and proportion sizes were good. Enjoyed everything I ate here but the star had to be dessert (that date cake with toffee sauce was amazinggg). Drinks were well crafted too; think I'll try to opt for the wine pairing next time. Would definitely come back!

I went to dinner party twice this month and got to experience 2 different menus and both times they hit it out of the park! As a vegetarian, I am generally a bit wary of pre-fixe menus because they are generally not worth it for me. However, Dinner Party killed it with their vegetarian options! I felt like I was getting the same experience as my friends and the meal was worth every penny. If you haven't been to Dinner Party yet, I highly highly recommend you go!

Something straight out of a dream. There is nothing I love more than living intentionally and making every day things in life romantic. Dinner party does this and more ***LOCATION*** A relatively easy spot to get to in Brooklyn. I'm not a local, but it seems like there were a lot of metro stops nearby. It was about an eight minute walk from the metro we came from. ***EXPERIENCE*** I'm so grateful we came here. Ryan was our chef for the night. It seemed there were three people running the whole operation. The chef, the host, and the bartender. I get the sense they rotate roles which I love. Dinner Party's whole thing is your dining experience is meant to feel like an intimate night at a friend's place. Some of the seating is communal while others are private. I made a reservation on Resy (highly recommended doing this if you want a table). Our table was in the patio section with gorgeous doilies, dried flowers, and a taper candle. Before I dive into the food, do know that this was a two hour dining experience. Things were on the slower side, which I did not mind, but if you're in a rush it might not be a good idea to stop in. When you come in there is a set menu and you are served that. They do accommodate any allergies/dietary restrictions. This did feel like a friend's home because we didn't have a menu and had no clue what we were going to eat next. The imperfections in the dining experience added to the charm for me. It seems they rotate the menu weekly. I adored everything we ate. We started with a seeded sourdough and eggplant puree, followed by a Japanese sweet potato salad appetizer, then a curried lentil and paneer dish, and ended the night with a fig jam, pistachio topped vanilla pudding. I didn't catch the proper names of these dishes, but I didn't need the name to tell you how yummy it was. Everything was wholesome. It was beautiful. Eating these dishes reminded me why I love food so much. I love the beauty of a wonderfully cooked meal, how it brings people together, how it nutriates you, and how it makes you feel good. It's not every day I can say I felt inspired by food, but this place did that for me. ***PRICE*** We spent $136. It was a four course meal. We got two of them and my partner ordered an Americano. I think prices vary based on the time of day you come. ***BATHROOM*** It's not often I write that I left a bathroom feeling inspired. LOL I was in love with everything about this place. This bathroom felt like your art school bff's cozy bathroom. The door was covered in different art postcards and the lighting was a cozy candle. I loved the collage of people washing their hands. Let's just say it's a clean bathroom that has a lot of fun ideas for your own home bathroom lol. ***CONCLUSION*** I loved this place so much. I cannot express how magical my experience was here. If you want to spend an evening being present, eating intentionally, and feeling comfy and relaxed, this is an amazing place to dine.

Can't upload the full review but the service charge must be addressed now. Full restaurant review at: cheekybitesblog.wordpress.com Before we discuss the food etc, which we will because WHAT AN EXPERIENCE, the note below has to be addressed because I fear it will lead to staff being stiffed their deserved gratuity. And please remember, this note was delivered at the *END* of the meal. "We add a 20% service charge to each bill. This is not synonymous with gratuity! If you had a wonderful time tonight, we encourage you to leave gratuity for our Front Of House team! Our service fee allows us to pay our employees higher wages, offer medical insurance, and paid time off. It helps support the variable costs of our ever-changing menus and allows us to focus on the quality of your experience, rather than guest volume. If you're interested in learning more about this fee, please ask your server or visit our website www.dinnerpartybk.com" Note: the physical menu itself includes the language: "20% service charge will be applied to all checks at the end of the meal." Hoo boy. A lot to unpack there. I'll begin by saying, I felt bamboozled, and frankly, taken advantage of. The 20% service fee was indeed listed on the menu, but because of the unique nature of this restaurant, one can assume it addresses a built-in gratuity, which I am happy to pay and had said intention from the start, given the information provided. I have worked (and owned) in the service industry for many years, this is shady business. Why was that note not delivered at the beginning of the meal? Why not include it on the actual menu? Perhaps so when you order wine (like we did), and other drinks (like we did), that 20% service charge is applied to that too, in addition to your $80 per person pre fix tab. So you're essentially paying an additional FORTY PERCENT OF THE ENTIRE BILL TO FEES AND TIP. And I am not about to stiff the server their deserved 20% of actual gratuity because of deceptive owners. It's like ordering late night Dominos and at check out being slapped with service fee, processing fee, delivery fee, and then being asked how much you want to tip the person actually doing the work. Why is Dinner Party Brooklyn a similar check out experience to the late stage capitalism experience that is the Dominos app? I spoke to the lovely staff about the fee and their language reflected the note above. When I asked for clarification about the expectation of additional gratuity, they said it's the same as any restaurant where gratuity is never *expected* but always appreciated. So, yes. Like any other restaurant in these here United States, despite the company line given to staff and all Dinner Party BK provided literature, tipping is expected. The staff also said the fee is in place because the restaurant didn't want to raise menu prices again as they had recently done so. BUT YOU DID IT AGAIN, DINNER PARTY. YOU RAISED ALL OF THE PRICES 20% BY ADDING A 20% SERVICE CHARGE TO THE ENTIRE BILL. A BLANKETED 20% PRICE INCREASE THE CUSTOMER PAYS FOR. So yes, you raised your menu prices again. ALSO, lol, because that 20% is taxed (see pictures below), what exactly is the product you are providing that is eligible for a sales tax? Your employee's health insurance? Their paid time off? 40% of an already expensive meal is insane. Regardless of how the revenue from that service charge is allocated! I can appreciate that you provide your employees the *opportunity* to have health insurance (how many are actually full time offers for said insurance), paid time off, and higher wages. That's great. Love all of that. But that's between you and your employees. You can sure provide those things without passing the tariff on to the customer by being transparent about your menu prices so we know exactly how much we will be spending, and not feel duped into what the actual menu price is. And the irony? The 20% menu price increase is worth every penny and I would happily pay it again, if I ever go back, because the food here is ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR. What a ride.

the idea and atmosphere of this spot is very cute. the bread salad was probably my favourite dish it was very interesting with the anchovies. unfortunately the chicken for one of my friends was a bit raw.

My server was very attentive throughout the entire dinner without being overbearing. I wanted to mention her name but unfortunately misplaced my receipt. I love the fact that when I chose the calamari, that they do have the tentacles as well, and not just the rings. For Peaches Prime to meet that one thing was a BIG PLUS to me for a restaurant that looks a little bit more upscale.But the icing on the cake was the fact that I was able to ask for more calamari with the tentacles in less rings so for me that is a win! The drink glasses are quite small like most upscale restaurants are so by the time you put ice in a cup you don't have that much to drink. I ordered shrimp and grits and it has kale in it with mushrooms and the flavor profile was good, but it's not like a southern profile for grits. A southern flavor profile is more rich and hearty. It was good, but the grits were on the runny side. I was provided a fork. I thought it was a small joke at first. You 100% require a spoon and fork with the shrimp and grits. You need a fork for the shrimp and to remove the tails using your butter knife, but to eat the dish you need a spoon. I like the fact that the kitchen did have a little kick of spices. One thing that is always underrated when you go out to eat at a restaurant anywhere in the world, but especially in North America even in Canada, is that food usually comes out to your table warm not hot. But the food came out piping hot and I love that fact. So that's ANOTHER WIN!! They have non-gender restrooms. They were very clean. The hallway that leads to the restrooms seem to be in a different restaurant. I wanted dessert, but I didn't have the room for it after my delicious meal. I definitely will be back but it's not a restaurant that I can come to every week or else. It's not gonna be good for my diet. I would eat too much!

With that in mind here is my next post. Charm Restaurant is a Caribbean gem stashed away in downtown Brooklyn on Dean Street and just across the street from the Barclays Stadium. Word of warning the location is a quant and small, cozy restaurant bar; make reservations in advance to be sure you can get in. On warm days they do have outdoor seating. There is a happy hour in the evening and an added treat is a DJ spinning Caribbean delights. This is back home cooking so don't expect fast food, your meal is prepared when you order. My experience so far is lthat it is worth the wait. Plan on paying downtown Brooklyn prices, but remember you get what you pay for. The food was worth the price. All the staff are friendly and this could easily become your next after work hangout. You owe it to yourself to try it at least once or twice.

3 Stars for good bar service but uneven food…read more I was staying at the Hilton in Brooklyn over the weekend and had a chance to dine on bar bites and drinks at the bar, as well as room service by Black Walnut. The drinks at the bar were good, nothing super craft-cocktail, but good drinks. For bites we got Charred Brussel Sprouts-- Slivered almonds, lemon and cranberries) and the Crispy Smashed Potato Skins-- Smashed red bliss, sage, Parmesan and zesty ranch). Both were really good bar food and we finished them (I even used some of the Brussel Sprouts to grab the last of the ranch!). Having had a good experience with light bites at the bar, I ordered from BW for room service (they service the Hilton where they're located). I got a few smaller dishes for lunch, which ended up totaling over $50 with tip. Here's what I got: - (HARD PASS- SEE PICS) Arugula Salad-- Described on the menu as consisting of Aged ricotta and crispy chickpeas to top. This was the most underwhelming salad I've gotten in a while. It was a small heap of arugula, coated in some extremely salty oil, with what looked like shaved parmesan and some fried chickpeas (that were not crispy because of the dressing). I called because I thought there was a mistake- having expected a heap of creamy ricotta. I told them I wanted to send it back and after talking to the kitchen, the gentleman told me that was the aged ricotta. I told him I've never seen ricotta like that and that they should specify it on the menu because that was not at all what one would expect when hoping for "aged ricotta." And for $12, this was a real let-down. They didn't take it back. - (HARD PASS- SEE PICS) Braised Pork Bao Bun-- Described as Crispy buns, Korean chili, sesame, carrots, pickled daikon. SIGH. At $4/bun I was really excited for something special. What I got instead were two heavily fried bao buns with a sliver of filling. I took one bite and oil was literally dripping down my chin and fingers from the friend buns. I ended up opening them and scooping one bite of filling out of each. That was an expensive two bites- even for NYC! I just don't know why they would fry these delicate buns. All they do is soak in all of the oil. Eek... - (WOULD ORDER AGAIN) Artichoke Hummus with grilled naan bread and fire roasted vegetables. This was the only dish I enjoyed, but I was so annoyed and grossed out by the other dishes (particularly the oil-filled bite of bao) that I left most of it. Still, if I had to order anything again, I'd order this. With one good food experience and one terrible food experience, I think a three star review is warranted. Gosh, I hope they rethink that arugula salad (or at least the description) and the fried pork bao buns.
