Terrible experience with booking. long story, but I have all the emails! I would never do business…read morewith this place if Devin, is still the point person. I scheduled a repass for my dad for last Saturday at Kismet. I did so, about 3 weeks prior and were in constant contact with the staff and Devin. I was renting venue only and did not require food, however I inquired of services they offer, so 3 servers were added. when I asked about parking, he told me there was a parking lot across the street, but that they do valet, whereby the guests would not have to pay individually to park, so I added this service also. I made him aware from initial contact, that I saw his space on PEERSPACE and that I do not live in NY. when I initially spoke to him, he quoted $200 more than what the exact dates and services were listed for on PEERSPACE, when i asked why, he stated that the site isn't updated and something about cleaning fee. I told him that the quote calculated on PEERSPACE included the cleaning fee and taxes. I agreed to the increase, because I still believed it was a good deal. I sent someone by the venue and went ahead to print materials bearing Kismet as the Repass Venue. I usually contact them by email and phone to ask questions or confirm things. After sending someone out, we noticed there was no parking lot across the street and that Valet parking was basically under the train line, so it wasn't anyplace in particular for parking. but I still kept that fee in place, because I saw it as less of a hassle for guests. where he decided to be nasty was when I asked him why the invoice still the 3 servers has, I had made him aware a few days prior to the final invoice being emailed that I would not need servers. we had volunteers. he started the run around, by having the ladies call me and email me back and forth with stalling conversations because I asked for him to give me a call. that call never came. the ladies were very customer friendly and warm... they were just going by his instructions. he later told them that he would remove 1 but kept 2 on the invoice. I wanted to talk with him to find out why I was being asked to pay extra money for 2 servers plus an additional $500 cleanup fee, which he told me was included, in the new higher price when we first spoke. less than 1 week before the funereal repass, this man refunded my deposit via CASHAPP without a phone call or an email. He never contact me to discuss why he was trying to overcharge me an additional $700. I would never do business with that kind of person. I was very fortunate that I was able to book Golden Palace Banquet Hall at last minute, which was up the street from Kismet, way more elegant, bigger, far better service and more affordable. I was very disappointed with the way KISMET treated me.

The whole staff (hostess and team) treated me and my husband like we were family and that made us feel great about spending such a large amount of money with them for such a special moment in our life. I wouldn't trade this experience. I was totally happy! EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT! Thank you so much for everything!

Came here for a surprise party in February on a Saturday night…read more Interior: The space is big enough for about 100-150 people to fit comfortably. The walls are blue velvet and silver painted. Hard wood floors throughout the location. Quite a steep flight of stairs to get to the room where parties are held- keep that in mind for the elderly, differently abled, and ladies wearing heels over 3". (Steepness is no better going down even if you are sober) Bathroom: Only one bathroom which is annoying. The bathroom was clean which is always a plus! Wait staff: Very patient and nice. I didn't get any eye rolls, teeth sucking or grumbling! Dj: I believe it is up to you to provide. The party I was at used a computer to select songs- not sure if it belonged to the venue or the family. The food was catered so you have to speak to the company about what options they have for food. Overall, this is a cute no frills place to have an event. Note: Parking is on the street there is no lot.

There are also long rectangular tables with chaffing dishes provided (no serving utensils provided). It doesn't seem to come with the sternols as food wasn't heated. Has an two step elevated platform (stage) area in the back for the main display or for cake/dessert table. Bathrooms are located in the front toward entrance and downstair in the celler where the mini kitchen is. The mini kitchen comes with sink and fridge/freezer which is filled with bags of ice. One of the air conditioner in the main room leaked/sprayed water the entire time. Room wasn't as cool even with the ac running. Door was closed and not many bodies are in the room yet (arrived early and only saw 10 people) but felt really warm. Suggestions: rental hall should come with or for extra fee for serving utensils including cake knife (the host and baker forgot cake knife) and sternols to keep food hot. Also, the bathrooms didn't have paper towels to dry hands. Air dryer wasn't available either. Overall, a nice event hall.

Then ordered the Chicken Scarpariello and Pasta with pesto. The on-the-bone chicken had great flavor with just the right amount of heat and a hint of rosemary. The Pasta was fresh, tender and the pesto wasn't overbearing. Sitting at the bar was good. We weren't rushed and the service was great.

His recommendation for my entrée was spot on. I had dined here once before for a busy Saturday night dinner, so it was especially nice to experience a quieter, more relaxed lunch this time around--a completely different vibe, but just as enjoyable. We skipped the complimentary bread and ordered the garlic bread instead--absolutely worth it. Warm, flavorful, and truly delicious. For appetizers, my husband had the arancini rice balls, while I ordered the artichoke hearts oreganato. Both were excellent--well-prepared, flavorful, and satisfying. For mains, I followed Ramon's suggestion and went with the sole Francese, paired with a side of linguine in garlic and oil. The fish was incredibly tender, fresh, and absolutely flavorful--cooked perfectly. In fact, as I'm writing this review, I'm still thinking about it and already looking forward to coming back to have it again. My husband's rigatoni filetto di pomodoro was equally impressive--simple, classic, and full of flavor. Even though we were completely full--and had leftovers to take home--we couldn't resist dessert. The tiramisu was the perfect ending: light, balanced, and just the right touch of sweetness. Great food, beautiful weather, and a relaxed atmosphere made for a perfect afternoon. A spot that's just as enjoyable for a lively dinner as it is for a relaxed lunch.

It's that good. Amazing. And I finished off with their crème brûlée. The service was nothing short of stellar. The wait staff was attentive and accommodating. Didn't miss a beat. Very nice crew. The venue itself is beautiful. Very nice decor. Spacious, clean. Not obnoxious but still classy. I personally like sitting at the bar with the coolest Bar tender "Kel". Very nice fella.

The Italian sushi is definitely very innovative. Soft prosciutto is rolled in sushi style with filling of arugula, cheese, and sun dried tomatoes. There are two kinds of dipping: balsamic and pesto. Both of them are complimenting the sushi. Eggplant parmigiana is definitely a must try. It's like a lasagna made of layers of thin fried eggplant. You can make mozzarella pull. So delicious, not surprised that he beat Bobby Flay.
