21st Birthday Party in The Oak Cellar @ Jake’s Dilemma

Hey!  My party at the Oak Cellar went really well, no problems, which was definitely a nice surprise. The people running it were very friendly, the drinks were quality, and the space was great! I would absolutely recommend having a party here, or doing another one here myself. The planning process is simple. All it took was a few phone calls and emails to get everything sorted out – the staff is efficient in their communication. Hope this helps

 

30th Birthday Party in The Living Room

Hey Girls -

John’s 30th at Jake’s Dilemma was fantastic! Thank you so much for all of your help.

The space was perfect, service was great, and almost everyone got in touch the next day to tell me how much fun they had. I was really happy with the entire night.

Thanks again!

Joint Birthday Party in The Living Room

Everyone had a wonderful time at The Livingroom! Smooth sailing from beginning to end. Audrey was a great manager of the event and Ashley was a top-notch waitress. They even went out of their way to help me find a place to hang the piñata. Would definetely recommend your company! Thanks again for everything.

Company Holiday Party in The Living Room

Hi,

The party was a blast!  Everyone was very impressed with the space and we really enjoyed ourselves while staying within our budget.  I don’t have a single complaint about the process.  It was a breeze from beginning to end.  My only point of feedback would be to steer people away from the pizza bites.  The chicken and samosas were delicious but I think we could have done better than the pizza bites.

Thanks for all your help!  I’ll certainly reach out next time I’m looking to book a private party.

Happy New Year!

Joint 25th Birthday Party in The Living Room

I wanted to say that the party process went great, from initial planning until the train home that night! I applaud the waitress for being able to efficiently handle a party with an audience that requested many different drinks. The bouncer was also very nice, and accommodated me in any way that he could. I was very impressed with the service for our room and will be looking to use you guys again if we need another room.

 

Thanks again!!!

 

 

Columbia Grad School Party @ Jake’s Dilemma

Nothing but good things to say – Nikki and Cortney were helpful and responsive throughout the entire planning process, including multiple date changes several months in advance.  The turnaround time was awesome on contracts and everything else – wish my job was as responsive!  Once the event started, staff were quick to react to the changing needs of our group.  We had way more people than expected (about 2x as many) and they were able to get an extra waitress and allow us to drink from the main bar with our wristbands which was key to people enjoying the event since the room I had rented was too small.  Staff was also able to add additional food and I spoke to the kitchen staff about what would take the least time to cook since we only had an hour left at that point.  Lastly, the doorman was great, took his job seriously and was honest!  He was extremely helpful in checking people off our guest list and handing out wristbands, he also effectively charged people who were not on the guest list and I felt that our final bill reflected an accurate number of people who had attended and accounted for the cash received.

The only thing that could have been better was getting everyone out of the room at the end of the night.  I didn’t have a problem, but I know one of the guests was upset that he felt rushed out and lost his ID card and credit card in the room.  If you find it, please let me know!

I would do an event with you again!  Thank you!

30th Birthday Party in The Living Room

Hi!

We had my boyfriend’s 30th birthday party at The Living Room in Jake’s Dilemma on Friday March 26. The next morning, the first thing I said to him was “I never do this, but I’m going to leave a testimonial on their website because they did an amazing job!” However, I got caught up with my new job and didn’t get a chance to write to you ladies until now!

We, along with all of our guests, had an amazing time and were very impressed with the level of service that was shown to us that night. Even before the party, I was able to get in touch with either Christine, Kate, Niki, or Cortney and ask any question that I had. Everything was so easy to set up and went so smoothly the night of the party. It was a well welcomed break from the usual frills of going out in NYC. The party manager, Emily, also contacted me prior to the event to make sure everything was the way I wanted it. None of our guests had any trouble getting in. The cocktail waitress, Robyn, was amazing! We were concerned that with only one waitress, people would be waiting awhile for their drinks and not be able to enjoy open bar for the complete 3 hours. Robyn made sure we all had a drink in hand all throughout the night! The bouncer at the door to the Living Room was so nice and respectful – we asked him to let us know when we had 15 minutes left in the open bar and he remembered to do it! Emily brought out the cake we had gotten the birthday boy at the time that we had asked her to, she lit the candles and even had plates and forks for everyone. At the end of the night, she explained the bill to me so that I wasn’t confused and just made our night go very smoothly! Everyone wanted to know how we found out about this place and definitely enjoyed themselves a lot! After the open bar was over, I stopped at the main bar to get a couple shots. Cortney (also the bartender)  remembered my name from setting up the party and asked for the birthday boy so she could say happy birthday and give him a shot. Simple things like that were much appreciated by us!

We can’t wait for the next birthday party because we will definitely be coming back!! Thanks again for all your help! This is one of the best birthday party experiences we have ever had in the city, and you ladies were just so classy and friendly – thanks so so much!

Surprise 25th Birthday Party at The Living Room

Christine, Kate, Niki & Cortney,

I just wanted to thank you so much for all of your help in planning my boyfriend’s surprise party on Saturday night.  Everything went so well- he was totally surprised and had a great time!  So many of the guests told me how great the thought the room and the service was, and I can’t thank you enough for everything!

On our way out Mike and I were looking for the cocktail waitress that served drinks during the party because he wanted to tip her- I asked a bartender or waitress where she was and she said she left already, but that she would leave the money for our cocktail waitress.  I just wanted to make sure that she received the money

Thanks again for everything!

Mardi Gras Party in The Living Room

Birthday Party in The Living Room

Hi,

The party was very successful.  Christine and Brooke our waitress were awesome and pleasures to work with.  Christine made the process extremely easy for me and I recently spoke to one of the party guests and the first thing out of his mouth was how great our waitress, Brooke, was.  My biggest fear when I was planning the party was not having a bar in the living room but with Brooke as our waitress I never had to worry about anyone waiting on a drink, very impressive.  Through out this whole process, setting up the party with Christine, and going to Jakes for the surprise, it was a great experience and in the future I will definitely think of you when I’m planning my next event.  Feel free to call me if you have any questions.

Thank you,

Greg

26th Birthday Party in The Living Room

The staff was amazing!

Thank you for making my birthday party go smoothly and be the talk of all my friends! Everyone had a great time.

I felt like the process was easier than I thought, although I would have likes

To know options in music or food. I wasn’t too clear on that, other than that the staff was more than helpful and GD was great!  Even asked about a friend who wasn’t feeling well. I’m defintely going to pass the word and plan my next event with you guys! Thanks!

Bachelor Party in The Living Room

Hi Christine,

Me and those who remember most of the part from that night had a very good time at the party, everything was well organize and prepare for us and our entertainment.

Our waitress done an excellent job and we expressed it with the tip.

I’m more than sure that our next party will be in one of the Eat, Drink & Be Merry Locations.

Have a great day and happy holiday,

Tomer
