We didn't have a minimum to meet, and Rory was super responsive to get us set up and check on our timing and attendance numbers. He even offered a private room due to a last minute cancelation from someone else. We had our own access to the bartenders and a sweet room away from the rest of the bar, which was packed at times, given the Saturday night rush. The vibe was incredible. Fun mashup DJs all night long and we stayed until nearly closing. We danced the night away and had the best time (it was the best night of my life and I've had many great ones in my 4 decades on this planet!). The music felt like a playlist I would make, so much good stuff! Truly felt like the fates brought me to this place for a reason and we got wonderful treatment. The bartenders loved us, and we loved them! Def coming back next time we visit NYC. Such a fun place! All we had to put down was a $100 deposit, which Rory refunded to me within a couple of days. Drop by or get in touch in advance if you have a large group. They clearly had a couple of other celebrations going on at the same time and it was fun vibes all around!

The unassuming entrance gives way to a warm, intimate space with dim lighting, a record player spinning in the background, and a fully stocked bar turning out genuinely excellent cocktails. It strikes that perfect balance between cozy and quietly stylish, making it an ideal date night spot. We went at 6:45 on a Thursday, and the atmosphere was exactly what we were hoping for: relaxed, uncrowded, and perfect for conversation. It felt like we had stumbled onto a secret. The staff only added to that feeling, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind. A special shoutout to our favorite waitress, Dusty, who was warm, lovely, and made the whole experience feel personal without ever being overbearing. The omakase was the highlight of the night. Every piece was incredibly fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and honestly more delicious than I had imagined going in. You can tell there's real care behind each course, and it elevates the entire experience beyond just a meal. Studio 151 is the kind of place you almost don't want to tell people about, but it's too good not to share. A perfect spot to sneak away for an intimate dinner, enjoy amazing food and drinks, and actually hear each other talk. We're already looking forward to going back again soon.

It got extremely crowded on that weekend, to the point where there was not much space to even stand or walk. Extremely dark with some neon lights and sometimes flashing lights. Typical dance club vibe. Mostly standing space and almost everyone dancing. But since there is barely any space between you and other people, there is barely any space to really dance. The third floor seemed to have more standing space. The first two floors were the most packed. Multiple floors and each floor has a different DJ featuring a different vibe of music. At least if you don't like the music, you can move on to a different floor. Since it's super dark, and the stairs are straight up pitch black, I can see how someone could potentially have a difficult time seeing the stairs and climbing them. They should add some neon lights or something like it in the middle of the stairs for safety reasons. I did not enjoy the music selections the night that I went. But I heard the music here just depends on the night, it's different vibes, and they switch it up.

We asked the waiter and he shrugged his shoulders and said no it comes with nothing...I think it was over $20 too. Then we ordered a cheese plate and that was tiny as well--we were all very frustrated and had to get food and/or drinks because of the $20 minimum/person at the tables. Also the waitstaff always seems annoyed and rushed--they just don't seem like they want to be there. I still will return because of the tremendous music they have fairly often--but if it wasn't for that I would not go back.

I went to their Gyalhattan event, which was a mix of dancehall and hip hop, and the energy was great. The crowd is mixed but tends to skew younger, and it attracts people from a lot of different backgrounds. Visually, the space is very cool. The dark interior is covered with artistic, almost glow-in-the-dark designs that give the club a distinctive vibe. The staff has also always been pleasant and attentive, from the bouncers to coat check to the cleaning staff. Every interaction I've had there has been positive. Bathrooms are surprisingly clean too (and actually feel safe). There can sometimes be a line to get in, but it usually moves quickly. For ticketed events like Gyalhattan, prices are reasonable, and if you plan ahead you can sometimes grab early bird tickets for free. They have a good-sized dance floor, and DJs rotate throughout the night, with the best sets usually hitting after 1 a.m. There's also a lounge seating area if you want to take a break from the dance floor. Overall it's a fun spot with great music and a real dancing crowd. I'll definitely be back with friends.

It featured a crispy, sugar-glazed exterior and a soft, chewy interior, topped with truffle cheese and served with a truffle butter dip; the pairing was superb, and it tasted great both on its own and with the dip. For the main course, I ordered the miso-glazed black cod. The flavor was flawless, and while the portion was small (which was acceptable), the pool of broth accompanying it was completely unnecessary; it was inedibly salty, so what was the point of serving it? After finishing the fish, I was left with a plate full of broth, rendering the plate unusable. Plus, it was overpriced; for this dish, you're better off going to Strip House Strip House remains the undisputed king of this dish in New York. A friend ordered the chicken parmesan. It was just average. Another friend ordered the short rib stroganoff. The flavor was decent, but it was far too rich and heavy. As someone whose palate is split 50/50 between Western and Chinese cuisine, I could manage only five bites at most. If you have a palate that prefers 100% Chinese food, proceed with caution on this dish. Friends ordered sides of mac & cheese and mashed potatoes. These are dishes originally meant for low-income Americans to fill up on cheaply; there's no limit to how good they can be, but also no floor to how bad they can get. Both were on par with the average quality found in upscale restaurants. Honestly, these are two dishes I would never order myself. To sum up: the atmosphere was great. It's also hard to get a reservation; the place was packed when we had lunch at 2 PM. Aside from that monkey bread, I didn't feel like anything else justified the price or offered something you couldn't find elsewhere. I don't quite get the hype. Perhaps I just didn't order the right dishes; maybe next time I'll try the burger and the steak.

The King Crab Rangoon (8/10) was packed with crab, almost too much for my taste, but the sweet chili and hot mustard sauces balanced it out nicely. The Espresso Martini (6/10) was a pretty standard espresso martini. The Long Island Cold Brew (3/10) tasted like cold brew mixed with vodka, which just wasn't for me. Service was fine overall (7/10).

They don't give you a sharp knife, so you kind of have to bite off pieces; but when a piece is grisly you can't tear off a piece and end up with a full piece in your mouth, chewing for many minutes around the grisly center. Everyone knows what this is like and it's to be expected in life, but NOT at a high-end restaurant where you've paid a significant margin above the average meal, and don't even get a full pita.
