I attended a work celebration event at The Bordone and had a good time overall! First of all, the views were fantastic! It was amazing to watch the sunset against the Manhattan skyline under strings of pretty fairy lights. Second, I appreciated how there were both indoor and outdoor components to this venue. We fit about 20 10-ppl tables outside but can probably accomodate a little more. The indoor section was also pretty spacious with big ceiling to floor windows. Bathrooms were clean. You take an elevator upstairs. Although there were warehouses around, it wasn't too loud for my outdoor crowd.
For drinks, they had a pretty decent bar with a wide range of wines and cocktails. For food, appetizers were way better than the actual meal! The hor d'oeuvres I really enjoyed were the lamb chops with the chimichurri sauce, the crab cakes, mushroom pastry, and the chicken curry/cucumber. The main courses including the salad and salmon were good but pretty standard compared to other catering services. I just wish they asked us about allergies/dietary restrictions when ordering our mains. Desserts were pretty solid with a chocolate mousse cake, truffles, macaroons, etc.
Staff were polite. Appreciated how they weren't overly aggressive with apps or desserts. Bar tenders were nice. Not sure if there is nearby parking/valet available. read more
