    Our first bartending class!
    Bernadette C.

    I just went to NY Bartending School for the "free trial" class as I have been wanting to go for a bartending license at least for fun for some time. As a heads up, the free trial class consists of one of their teachers talking on a PowerPoint on selling you to pay them to come take their classes and there's not much actual hands on stuff you get to do. You partner with someone else and each of you learn how to make one cocktail. My partner made a cosmopolitan and I made a chocolate martini. You do learn some useful tips like how to pour a proper ounce and how to shake, but if you're looking for something more hands on, you likely will have to cough up the cash. I decided to put down the $70 deposit to "lock in" their special rate, which I am 99% sure is a gimmick to close the deal to make you sign up before you leave. I doubt the rate is any different from any other time, but regardless, I have been wanting to do it for a long time anyway, so worst case scenario is that I lose the $70 if I never take the actual course. If you are on the fence about this place versus other schools, don't get pressured into signing up here. Definitely do your due diligence before you spend the cash. It's around $700 for the course, so you better make sure you want to do it!

    Service 10/10!! Loved working with them…read more I hired them for my birthday party, where I had designed five custom cocktails. The bartender I hired was extremely helpful from setup all the way to cleanup. So many of my friends complimented me on the bartender's drinks, they were absolutely delicious! Although there were a lot of moving parts and guests at my party, the bartender was able to make drinks really quickly and really helped with the atmosphere. She was super knowledgeable about the drinks, arrived early, and wore professional attire. She had all the materials necessary for making drinks, and she was super professional from start to finish. Can't recommend CBA enough for their incredible service and professionalism!Will definitely hire again from them for future events, and it's amazing how all the bartenders are college students too.

Communication with him was a breeze, and everything was great. We all wanted to refer him to our various companies at the end of the event LOL! The quoted rates were also the lowest of all options we considered and worked well for us since we already had a list of drinks in mind. Will definitely use again!

On the menu was Haitian soup, Trinidadian Doubles, Dominican rice and beans and Jerk Chicken. The chef was warm and kind and very thorough.

We were supplied with aprons and name tags and worked in teams and chatted while chopping, seasoning and cooking. I appreciated the ice water and stools available to ensure I was comfortable for those hours of class. The food came out amazing and flavorful and there was plenty leftover to take home.

Chef Sue was both personable and informative, and her demos were easy to follow along with the written recipes. During times when food was cooking or cooling, Sue also showed us some knife skills basics/tricks. The class went on for about 3 hours, including the time to eat at the end. I really enjoyed the experience, but in the future would choose a class with a more substantial output. The Latkes and Sufganiyot were both fried carbs, and we ended up grabbing dinner immediately after because we were still hungry for a real meal. Other than that, would recommend!

Big Deal Casino offered the experience we hoped for. It was wonderful! The appetizers were delicious. The decor was great - with beautiful black and white photographs of New York City throughout the space. Coordinating with Wendy and Indira was seamless and enjoyable. The open-bar option was fantastic - no complaints from our team. AND to top it off, Wendy took photos for us while we were having a blast playing Blackjack, Roulette, Poker, and more! Our theme for the event was James Bond (007) and the crew at Big Deal Casino also allowed us to incorporate some additional themed decorations to spice up the venue, which was very nice. The only negative note I'll add is many of us didn't have the opportunity to use our designated password upon arrival to the venue, which some were excited to say. At the same time, it wasn't a big deal (get it?) ;). You still get 5 stars from me Big Deal Casino. Thanks for everything!

    Great Customer Service, Amazing Views and Chill Atmosphere!…read more We made reservations for my friend's birthday on 6/28 and this was one of the best overall experiences ever. Caio was very friendly and knowledgeable when it came on to the food and the drinks, he was also very entertaining and had great comedic timing. Camila was attentive, she came over to us and asked how everything was going and continued to check on us throughout the night. Even though it was super busy the staff remained friendly. The food was good, the portion sizes weren't big but were just right. The wings are not jumbo and the Truffle fries need to be tweaked, maybe change the recipe or call it fries with Parmesan cheese. As far as the drinks, the cocktail pouches were a hit. We had 2 each including two additional shots. This place is good for a happy hour, lunch, brunch, date, chill spot, etc. The views of the city were great, it's social media friendly with a lot of picture opportunities, they also have jumbo games such as Jenga, Connect Four and Cards. Overall it was a great night out. As far as the price point, multiple drinks will bring a hefty tab but that goes for most of the city.

You can also rent cabanas for larger groups and they have optional packages that can be reserved as well. They have a live DJ, music was great they played a mixture of new music along with older music for the more mature audience like my husband and myself. Everything was great for us, we truly enjoyed the change of atmosphere and crowd. If you are looking for a quiet place to have a conversation, I would not recommend this place. It's very loud, but in a fun way. Some people brought children, I personally would not recommend this unless you don't mind the drinking, yelling and smoking. Our food was good but the menu could have more dining options. I personally feel this place is catered more to people that are looking to have a light meal with plenty of drink options. It's more of a drink and socialize place. Again we LOVED it, because it was a change of scenery for us. The downside is that there is no restroom within the restaurant. You have to walk outside the restaurant to the end of the dock to use the public restrooms which normally has a very long line. This isn't ideal. Overall great experience. We checked out to the tune of a 200+ bill. The alcoholic drinks were pricey rolling in at $86 before taxes for four drinks.
