Have your part(ies) here!…read more We used EDBM to throw a party at The East Wing (Upper East Side) for my daughter's 1st birthday celebration. My wife and I were beyond pleased! They guided us along from the beginning exploratory conversations, through the booking, the food and room setup, to the execution of the event. Wow...they are awesome and they know their stuff! Everything was a smashing success. Special kudos to how they knew all of what to expect too...ie. they were spot on right down to knowing certain foods wouldn't really be eaten as much as others (yes, we went against their advice and yes, we were wrong...lol...but good news is I have tons of leftovers for lunch this week!) Other notes: East Wing is perfect for about 50 people, especially if you need tables and other things laid out in the space. Its well lit but private, their is a bathroom in the room, there are great nooks and crannies to store things (strollers, presents, etc) and the food is both delicious and portioned correctly. We did a lot of research and the way EDBM prices its party packages is by far the best, especially for the nicer ambiance and food quality. They are upfront with all their charges, and at the end of the day, you definitely get more for your money than you would at other places around town of similar size and service. Also, a special kudos to their onsite party host, Lindsay. She is a master party manager, bartender, hostess, problem solver, and generally kind-spirited person. She answered questions, made us comfortable and assisted us in every possible way. Amazing at her job! They all are - Christine, Niki and Brittany. Bravo! We would 100% recommend EDBM to any and all who seek a suggestion for where to have a party.

I can't remember all of the names but I believe there was a Brittany, Christine and I want to say Kate. Our first part of the night we started off at the Gin Mill for dinner. I got to be honest the food was a lot better than what I thought it was going to be. Pasta, Chicken, Steak, potatoes, tator tots, all delicious. Maggie, who was I guess the host of the party was excellent along with our bartender. I cannot remember her name but she was blonde (sorry) and very on top of whatever drinks we needed. I rate everything at this place a 10 Our limo driver Steve who was flat out the man...enough said!!!!! He catered to us as best as he could and went above and beyond. I would definitely have him as a limo driver again. As Steve took us to Down the hatch, the bartenders were there ready to wait on us, and they didn't disappoint. (Maggie called ahead for us!) The one down point of the night was when we ordered wings the staff brought the wings and set them up over on a shelf by the main door. The bouncer came over and asked us to clear the doorway. I understand 100% he was doing his job, but this is where the staff put the wings. I explained to him that we will move out of the way the best we could to not block the doorway, but asked him where were we going to go to eat? I said if you can find us a table I will gladly move. This bouncer had a Dallas Cowboys hat on and, said " you want me to find you a table, not my problem. Okay guy! We left immediately! Guy was just a rude................well you get the point. I called Maggie to explain to her the situation immediately and made sure she knew that we were not out of control, not causing any problems etc.... Next up, 3 sheets saloon. Everything about this place was outstanding. We had a waitress and I can't remember her name, but she was from Australia and she just kept bringing round after round until the open bar time was up! The bouncer Ivan was pretty awesome too. He kept us entertained throughout the night. All in all, the night turned out to be a good time..and I would recommend booking as everything went smoothly with the exception of the bouncer issue, but one guy with an ego, wasn't going to ruin our night.

Four of us were there for dinner to celebrate a birthday, and at the end they brought out a huge tiramisu big enough for four and sang happy birthday. Nice touch. Tables are about as close quarters as you can get, especially 2 and 4 tops, which adds to the noise level. Big outdoor seating in front of and around the corner of the restaurant.

It wasn't too crowded, but it did end up getting a little loud at times since there was a game on. One thing I like is that their happy hour is daily, not just during the week, so I ended up getting a sangria off the happy hour menu for $10 (a steal, and it was delicious!) Our waitress was super sweet too. For our appetizers, my friends and I ordered the chips and guacamole. The guacamole was perfectly seasoned, chips were just the right amount of salty, and the plate also came with a scattering of plantain chips as well. We completely devoured it! For our mains, my friends got the grilled cheese and tomato soup, which looked delicious. I got the impossible burger, which comes loaded up with sautéed mushrooms, lettuce, tomato, avocado, and garlic aioli. The impossible patty was cooked perfectly- the grill definitely added a lot of flavor. I ate the entire thing, since I genuinely don't know how it was so good. It tasted amazing! It's no question I'm coming back here.

Midtown East doesn't usually hand you a pub with a legit working fireplace, but this place does. Cozy, classic, and a little dangerous for guys like me who like a good pint with their burger. Ordered the turkey burger with fries--and man, it was great. No nonsense, no fluff. Just a burger so good it almost made me feel poetic. Almost.

My husband and I did a private cooking class and Anne curated the perfect menu for us, expertly tailored to our interests and skill level. Because she also can host private dinners in the space, we were able to arrange for a few of our family members to come and enjoy the dinner we prepared. It was really so fun, and so special, and to be able to have a private indoor dining space is especially great now with COVID. The price for all of it was very reasonable. We're already thinking about when we can come back for another class and/or dinner!

As soon as we got there they put us on a table in the back of the restaurant behind the pillar far from other customers ( it looked like they were hiding us from the others for some reason). We ordered lasagna and they brought our food burned ( both plates) we couldn't even eat part of the food. We spoke to the waiter who brought the food and the only thing he said was " I'll let the chef know". So we waited, nobody came to talk to us or ask us if we needed anything ...we were hoping the manager would come to apologize for that and offer us something else to eat ...never happened. So we paid and left ! For a place where it's called sophisticated and great Italian restaurant in the area , I was expecting at least an apology and better service ! Shame! Never again !

Mom said we were going out for Italian…read more Naturally, I assumed this meant unlimited pizza crust. We visited Osteria Cotta, a cozy two-story neighborhood Italian restaurant with a large outdoor patio in front. There was plenty of space for everyone, and I wasn't the only pup there--there were several other dogs enjoying dinner with their families. The humans who worked there were incredibly nice and spent a lot of time telling me how handsome I am. (It's important to surround yourself with honest people.) Mom ordered the Tartufo pizza with mushrooms and prosciutto, along with a non-alcoholic rosé. Dad ordered the Penne Pomodoro with a glass of red wine and somehow found room for an espresso martini after dinner. I ordered... ...absolutely nothing. There isn't a dog menu, and no water bowl was offered, so I'd recommend bringing your own water if you're visiting with your pup. Even though I didn't receive the pizza crust I had mentally budgeted for, the atmosphere was relaxed, the patio was spacious, and everyone made me feel welcome. It's a great place if you want a nice Italian dinner without leaving your best friend at home. Dogba's Verdict Big outdoor patio? Plenty of fellow dogs? Staff who immediately loved me? Dog water bowl? Pizza crust distributed to the dog? Also no. 4 paws out of 5. Excellent hospitality. Questionable crust-sharing policy. I'll still be back... mostly because I'm convinced I can negotiate better terms next time.

From the outside the place looks great. I go in and decide to sit outside and am told to pick a place My waitress comes and I ask for a glass of the house red. She says it's a pino noir and it is a great deal at $8 I know what I want right away the lasagna The wine comes shortly followed by the pasta. Everything is great. Wine is smooth, not too strong Lasagna a nice portion served on a cast iron skillet. The lasagne has a great tomato sauce that is smooth with a hint of sweetness I order a second glass of wine taking my time to savor everything. At the end I ask for the check which my waitress brings over. $56! Gee I look and the glass of wine isn't $8 they're $13 a glass! I motion to the waitress and point out the mistake. She explains she made a mistake. She brought me the more expensive pino because she forgot the house was a different wine. I decide not to make an issue of it. But wonder how many other people unsuspectingly have the same switcharoo, and just reflexively pay? I'm a bit disappointed and not happy about this. I think gee this is why people aren't going out? It comes the same week my other Brooklyn restaurant was an overpriced disappointment. Both times beverage, liquor or wine based. So I can't let this pass on Yelp here. If you come make sure you check the bill!

While Red Grill is good, it doesn't compare to my favorite Mexican restaurants in Georgia and Florida. (And -- sorry Floridians -- it takes a lot for me to praise much of anything in your state.) I love good Mexican chicken soup. Red Grill's is nothing special. The broth tastes like Swanson's, which doesn't say much. And while there are plenty of vegetables and a generous portion of chicken, the soup falls short of expectations. I doctored mine up with every condiment available, which helped a little. I'm glad I added a last-minute quesadilla to my order. Again, not as good as my favorite -- this time in Virginia -- but decent. T enjoyed Red Grill's carnitas. He said they were fattier than last time, but hey - it's pork. Frozen margaritas were potent and only $8, perhaps because it was happy hour. I have to remember to ask for mine fruitier. What I do like are their chips and salsa. Chips look homemade and the salsa is spicy and chunky. Perhaps this is where we should go for cocktails and appetizers. Proximity to home is a plus.
