I tried to get Per Se first,no availability. Anyone dined at Blue Hill in the Garden Room?

Scaleni fedeli has a beautiful wine room for private parties,cru has very good food but i have not been in their private room.
21 club has a unbelievable wine tasting room for private parties(very upscale)but the food will be good not great.
Blue Hill-nothing special and you will be hungry when you leave.
cafe gray-good food but to me the service and dining experience was just ok.I have not seen their private room.
Picholine-i have not been but it has been getting mixed reviews.
Annisa has excellent food.
Have you tried Chanterelle,FourSeasons,Atelier,Felidia,(sushi but very expensive high end.)
I have not been to wd-50 but if you are adventurous diners it may be worth trying although it does get mixed reviews.
Book Per SE now for next years trip.IMO it is the best in NYC.

I called Scaleni Fideli and the wine room is availabe. I tentatively scheduled it. Any opinions?

I just ate there last week, the night they got the Michelin Star. Needless to say, the entire management staff was at a Michelin party, and the service suffered terribly because of that. They were 45 minutes late with our table and I had to beg for tidbits or a drink (we had already bought two or three rounds). That said, they finally brought us a soft egg ravioli appetizer that was to die for. The rest of the meal was good, but nothing I would rave about. Not memorable, except for the pasta. They ended up comping the pasta and a bottle of wine, but nothing made up for the fact that we ran an hour late for dinner on a school night. At least just look at the menu from Country. It is really different, creative, and fresh. Oh, and the new upstairs dining room (make sure it will be open) has several private dining options.

I have to agree with bugswife.While the wineroom is very nice and the food is good.the service is just ok.I would hopethe service would be better in the private room?have you tried felidia or the 21 club.I also like the idea of Country.Another sug.We hosted a very exclusive dinner at daniel.While the private room was not available they placed us in a area of the dining room that was semi-private.They also created a special menu for us.It was wonderful.The Modern may be another choice,Danube-sister to Bouley.
