I’ve been to Dinner Party many times, and would always go back! The rotating menu makes each dinner here feel exciting and new, but also thoughtful and well executed. Food is fresh, delicious, and colorful. The ambiance is fantastic – cozy, warm, and social. I will always recommend this spot to someone visiting from out of town, or looking for a special place to celebrate a birthday. I love you Dinner Party!

I loved every minute of my meal at Dinner Party! The vibe is warm and welcoming, staff friendly, and the food was spectacular. You can tell so much thought goes into each menu they create. Great to go with friends or family, or even to meet a fun stranger sitting across from you at the communal table. Adding this to my ‘always eat here’ list whenever I’m in NY!

Will never forget my meal at Dinner Party! This place is so special, from the incredible food (we clearly very much enjoyed our desserts) to the communal set-up and super warm & inviting team. The menu changes all the time, which is just a great excuse to come back. Would recommend to anyone looking for a chic little date night or a birthday dinner in BK!!

Dinner Party is always a fabulous time! The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, warm hospitality, and incredibly yummy food. In the four or so times I’ve been there in the past year, I’ve always left feeling satiated and excited for the meal and experience I just had.
I last went to Dinner Party last Tuesday for their current pre-fixe menu and it was so delicious. The citrus and persimmon salad was a great way to start before diving into a perfectly fried snapper. To finish, they had this amazing sticky toffee pudding-esque dessert.
Their menu changes every two weeks and it’s always fun to see what new menu the team comes up with and try it out. Highly recommend as a date night spot or a place to catch up with friends!

I’ve been to Dinner Party a few times now and somehow each visit is better than the last. It really does feel like you’re at someone’s home, while maintaining an elevated dining experience. The ambiance is incredibly cozy and chic.
The menu changes every few weeks (you can check online before you go), and each time it has been incredibly creative, thoughtful, and delicious. The cocktail menu is honestly my favorite part—one of the best martinis I’ve had in the city. And I’m usually not even a dessert person, but this recent key lime pie (pictured) totally won me over.

Dinner Party is simply a standout Brooklyn staple for me and my friends, and its THE spot I take people visiting if I have even just one meal together. Rotating menus constantly bring an exciting, CREATIVE, and absurdly delicious take on anything from classic cravings to plates I’ve literally never thought of putting together (and immediately try to recreate). I’m still trying to figure out how to make the corn dashi broth I had with littleneck clams and sea beans here once! I have yet to have a meal here without at least 5 WOW-factor moments, and GET THE WINE PAIRINGS!! Open as a cafe on the weekends, too!
The staff is so kind and attentive, and the entire environment really does make you feel like you’re at a cozy dinner party in a house full of furniture, dishware, and little details you’re spending all your non-eating time coveting! As a glimpse into the atmosphere, we are always talking about how this is the dream dinner buy-out destination after a chic courthouse wedding. Book and be joyous! <3 Love u Dinner Partyyyyy

Sadly, I was really disappointed by my experience here. I’d read so many good reviews before booking and chose this one of a limited number of meals on a trip to nyc. To start, the vibes are just okay. Cozy inside but lacked in real ambiance (candles) and music.
The 5 course menu felt sloppy and unintentional. The first couple were okay, but the salad course and main (a burger) were such a miss. The salad in theory sounded good but was not well balanced, far too bitter even for someone who likes bitter greens and spice. The burger was disappointing to see on the menu for a meal that cost over $400. And upon arrival the burger bun (homemade) was over proofed and lacked flavor. The patty was cooked well done and dry, I would have expected that they’d ask a preference or err on the side of medium to appease a crowd. The burger came with crispy potatoes that were served cold upon arrival. There was sauce but not enough and not flavorful. Truly was sad considering this was the main portion of the meal :/ One of the best courses was the dessert, it was as expected and delightful! I thought we’d end on a good note with dessert but then they brought out a final bite of an espresso merengue. The merengue were so chewy and sticky. Clearly they were not fresh from the day or had been left to the elements. All of this to say the chef and pastry chef lack thoughtfulness and skill in some areas. Perhaps it was just a bad night to visit as far as food went.
The service was okay. The host/waitress gave us half the explanation of our courses as the other tables, I think she assumed we were listening when she delivered them to our neighbors. The male bartender was delightful and recommended a wine that will be my new favorite. The cocktails were delicious!
The one note I have on service is that if each course is plated I should not be expected to keep my dirty fork and knife on the table between courses.

I thought the space was really pretty and nice but the price was quite high for what was included. Also we were told too last minute that we had to leave when there was only 10min left, that’s when they served the ending champagne glasses but also started clearing our table. It was super chaotic and could’ve been handled so much better.

We dined here on the first day of a new Bengali-inspired menu and everything was delicious! Yummy flavors and textures, super fresh, and generous portions for a prix fixe! The decor and vibe is so friendly and charming. Next time I’d get a bottle of wine. Great spot for a special and intimate occasion!
