Not sure about the vibe you're looking for, but in June we bought out Skinos (downtown, Greek/Mediterranean) & Seamore's (Brookfield Place, American/seafood) for weeknight dinners, and they were very easy to work with and gave us a great deal.

Taralluci et Vino has many fully private room options, and the person I've worked with there is super accommodating.

Let me know if you'd like me to connect you with any of them!

Thanks, @EventPlanner233. Any other recs in the 400 person count range that come to mind?

The Grill / Pool is amazing for 400+ https://thegrillnewyork.com/private-dining/

@EventPlanner344 City Winery's river level, or City Vineyard's full restaurant might be good options. I did not go with them as we ultimately needed something within FiDi, but I can give you the contact info for the people I spoke with.

I also recently privately chartered La Barca Cantina for a big weeknight event, and the experience was so much fun. I was afraid it would be cheesy at first but it ended up great. The price was reasonable and we were able to brand the boat & create a signature drink package. And because we privately chartered, we could decide if we even wanted to sail, how long to sail and dock, etc. (We sailed for 90 minutes then continued the party while docked for another hour.)

Thank you!

I've said it before but pending how many people I love Thyme Bar, I havent done an event there but i know they do buy outs!

Also LaMalo's space looks pretty cool too for a full buyout

Thanks @EventPlanner790, Thyme Bar is a beautiful spot, appreciate the rec!

@EventPlanner344 - SAGA was a smash hit for us
