Brooklynites!!!

Any reviews on the below places?? we're scouting them out this week

Baku Palace
Metropole
Rasputin (looked cool online but have NO idea about it lol)

TIA!!!!!!!!

Sorry, never been to any of these.

Rasputin looks very interesting.

what are you scouting them for?

baku - never went to. last time i was over there they had a wedding going on. it looked nice. cocktail hour was in courtyard outside. the greek (i think) restaurant next door is good tho.

not sure what you are looking for but maybe check out XO Creperie. Its right by loehmans. they are a bit pricey, but its soo cool looking inside. and the service is good. i always see big tables/parties with lots of liquor and food. looks like fun! ive only been there for crepes, tea (BIG selection) and hooka

rasputin - ive been there many years ago, before it had that name. it was a lot of fun!! i went for a party. so it was like family style food. they had a band and it was a good time!

i think both of these are mostly eastern european food since they are russian

Baku Palacev - some people I know went there and said food was pretty good but expensive.

Rasputin - it's a russian restaurant - good food

been to all those places many times.
not sure what you looking for.
to me they are all the same. i just generally don't like russian restaurants any more. i just had to much... lol i'm russian.
let me know what this is for so i can give you a better advise.

Hey....Baku, looks really nice on the outside... Ive only been to Rasputin...Im not Russian, but it is a russian place . My cousin actually had her bridal shower there. Its a really DIFFERENT nice looking place.. very very different . I also know someone who got married there. I dont remember the food exactly... I was too busy running around helping my cousin sorry hun

p.s- what were you interested in doing it for?

Have you thought about Bay Ridge? There are so many good restaurants there such as

New Corners (Italian) 72nd St & 8th Ave.
Cebu
Chadwicks
Arirang
Mambo Italiana
The Pearl Room
Casa Pepe
Chianti
Greenhouse Cafe
Hunter's Steak house
Skinflints (great burgers)

That is just a short list of restaurants that I know are very good. Colanldrea's New Corner Restaurant is one of our favorites.

I will say check out baku. they have few rooms and decor is great.
it might get pricy

I'll second New Corners. They are DELICIOUS--my family always has events there. Also, what about Fiorentinos? They are also really good, and may be able to accommodate you.

GL! I'm dreading finding somewhere in Brooklyn big enough to hold my shower!

When did Mamo close?

Yes, New Corners is great...we have the majority of our family birthdays/events there and they are reasonable. I had my older son's rehearsal dinner there and they did a great job. We were about 38 people and everyone loved their dinner. New Corner's is our go to restaurant when we want to go out but not sure where we want to go. We never had a bad meal there.
Good luck.

Let me add the Schnitzel Haus to the list. It is a German restaurant on 74th Street and 5th Avenue and they have an upstairs large room with a terrace that you can have a party in. We had my younger son, Peter's rehearsal dinner there. They are extremely reasonable and the food was good, rich but very good and different. We were about 70 ppl give or take and there was plenty of room and with the outside area if the weather is nice people can go out and smoke, relax etc.

Just a thought.

thank so much Liz!!! great suggestions!

it closed recently, cebu actually took their spot, so now that i think of it cebu might now be big enough and i looove their food

How about Il Fornetto, Pearl Room or Gino's ? I don't know where my shower is, although i have an idea it may be at Roma View...
