Great venue for an event. I attended the WGA East Awards here and was impressed. The facilities are great; I was particularly impressed with the bathrooms which were numerous and I never had to wait in a line…. ladies, how often does that happen? The theater is very classy, in kind of a Art Deco styled elegance. The location is also great, very convenient to west-side trains.
This is a great place to host or attend an event. The staff is rather lacking (but where in NYC do you find good catering service, really…).
The venue is really beautiful and surprisingly spacious for the area. Around 550 can fit comfortably, seated at tables on two levels.
The upstairs VIP room is great for artists or event staff to relax, eat in or use as a dressing room.
Great place…and extremely well designed and maintained. Just wish they had better staff…
Absolutely love this venue!
We had a company event here and we're planning on having more here. The decor is really cool, like 1920s Art Deco.
The food was delicious! The staff was very professional. The two security guards at the door became my buddies for the night 🙂
Considering the location and the appearance of the venue, I would have expected per-person costs to be much higher. The event manager is very resopnsive and professional.
All-in-all I would highly recommend this venue to anyone!
Great venue for black tie or large work related events. I went there for a charity dinner and was underdressed- most people were in evening gowns and formal dresses while I was wearing suit pants. We went straight from work and I wish I had been told that it'd be that formal!
There's a red carpet entrance and you walk up a semi circular stairwell and land straight at the first bar. Nice. Really nice, because I needed a pick me up since even before I left work. The mezzanine level has mirrors on the side throughout the inner seating area. The seats that look over the ballroom/dining area are 2 people seating with comfortable couches. I loved their lighting effects but definitely not made for pictures to be taken by non-pro cams. Food was good- not sure where it was coming from. Service was impeccable. Waiters were all hipsters with swag, all the while staying professionally sleek.
The dining area has a middle and back area- could probably seat about 150 people comfortably.
Was here for an event. I generally avoid coming to the Times Square area but made an exception to come this event. Still dislike the location.
The room was setup with a stage upfront and rows of seats, not round tables. I think they could fit 500 people this way. I was sitting all the way back and had no issue seeing the speakers.
AV was pretty decent I was able to hear and see all the speakers easily.
There are a couple of bars but had to leave right after the formal part of the presentation so didn't get to experience the bar service. Maybe next time.
Our company had our holiday party here this year. We had estimated about 1200 people coming, but this venue is so compartmentalized that you don't feel it so much. Needless to say I wasn't too impressed. First off, I saw about 3 hor doeuvre trays with the tiniest appetizers I've seen. One lady offered me a mushroom flatbread, which was literally a wheat thin cracker with some mashed mushroom on it. Another offered the Greek salad which was a huge joke: a slide of cucumber with a drop of olive and feta. I almost laughed.
Dinner was odd: there was salad, about 4 trays of Mac and cheese, and sliders. Apparently other areas had different food but navigating this place was a nightmare so there was no way I was going to hunt around for another mediocre menu item.
The venue itself was hot as heck. With so many people there, all of us were sweating and had our makeup running down our faces. It must have been 80 degrees and what's worse is the ladies room was even hotter! I went in there for reprieve and left sweater. Easily 90 degrees. I was also disappointed by the condition of the place – old seats that looked dirty and old bathrooms.
I'm not sure if this place is rated at the same caliber as Guastavinos where we had our party last year but it shouldn't be. That being said if it's a cheaper alternative then that's fine. Regardless I would shop around if you're looking to book an event here and make sure there is enough food!
Really nice venue. 2 floors; 3 bars, balcony overlooking the dance floor and an art deco interior.
they do a good job cleaning up throughout the night without actually being in your way and there was ever hardly a wait at the bar area. friendly bartenders as well.
nice sound system and lighting effects too. evening started with a live band and ended with a clubby atmosphere with DJ and dimmed blue lighting.
not sure if food was catered or in-house but the sushi/sashimi station was awesome! fish is fresh and AYCE 🙂
oh, and the best part; DRINKS ARE STRONGGGGG
