    Had a closing/celebration dinner w/ investment partners at Cherry Circle Room last week. We had an excellent meal from start to finish. Cocktails were great. The sommelier recommended great wine to go w/ all courses. The oysters were excellent. And, the entrees were perfect all the way around - the OG ribeye and the duck were amongst the favorites. Top it all of w/ a unique, stand out environment and service, plus a night cap at Cindy's Rooftop. Great night all the way around!

    Lovely and relaxed while showcasing a great menu. This is a little black dress house with a sense of relaxed grace. Loved our experience here.

    Our party of four had a terrible experience at he Cherry Circle Room. It is expensive and the service and food are both underwhelming and not worth the experience. Our waiter was very curt and was reluctant to explain any of the dishes. He never came back around to ask how everything was and if we needed anything else. We had to stop random servers to ask for another Manhattan and to get some bread (which came after our first course and after we asked for it multiple times) and which no one told us it was the Parker Rolls (and that it was being baked) and came with a $12 charge. The French onion soups were excellent, but my foie gras pate had no flavor. My husband ordered the Halibut and said he didn't want the asparagus and could another vegetable be substituted. He was told that no substitutions were allowed and he could order a side dish for another upcharge. The brussel sprouts he ordered were full of mayonnaise and not very good and the Halibut was a small piece and underwhelming. My duck breast was delicious, but the dark meat of the duck was turned into a hard ball that was inedible. The OG steak was good, but the chicken breast was unremarkable. I tried ordering a decaf cappuccino and was told they didn't serve decaf expresso, my friend tried ordering a tea but was told they only had mint and chamomile. The carrot cake was inedible and probably the worst dessert I've ever had. White globs of ganache, tasteless pieces of cake and bland, tiny squares of ice cream (which they did in fact comp after we complained). To top off the bad food, bad service and high prices, the host came over to us after we had been there for two hours and asked us to leave by suggesting he get us a table on the floor outside the restaurant so we could continue our conversation! We were so shocked and embarrassed.

    The Cherry Circle Room was highly recommended looking at the ratings and we were not disappointed at all. The service was great, food was amazing, and only added to how great our night was. Thank you!

    Matt is THE BEST! When we arrived my billfold had just been pickpocketed elsewhere — so he started us off with an immediate and complimentary prosecco. Really turned a positive note on what was looking like it was going to be a sad b-day. Thank you, Matt et al at Cherry Circle!

    Met up with a few family and friends for my sister’s birthday. We were a table of women and it seemed like the waiter was not happy about that. He made it very clear he was annoyed with us! He couldn’t ruin our night since we still had fun being all together! Food was ok. Music selection was good.
