Worst NYE experience....bought tickets through Joonbug/Crave for NYE and they had us, GA and VIP tickets waiting outside,in the cold, for almost 2 hours, even though the lounge was barely full. Will NEVER return to this establishment.

Good Food. Bad Attitude.. I recently planned a bachelorette party at Pranna for a friend. Having been to dinner here before, I thought the space and vibe would be just right. As my reservation had about 19 guests, we were asked to sign a contract and have a prix-fixe menu, which was perfect. Ashli, our event manager, was lovely and pleasant to work with and created a perfect menu for us.

Our arrival, at 7pm on a Saturday evening, was an interesting experience. A very loud party had just ended and the bathrooms were in a state of chaos. As about 13-15 members of our party were present and waiting to be seated, I asked the hostess if we could head to our table. Her response "We COULDN"T POSSIBLY seat you until your entire party is here". Her 2 co-hostesses were all in agreement. After asking to speak to the manager, who escorted us to our table, I knew the night was off to an interesting start. I know Pranna tends to get clubby - but since that large party left it was empty (Saturday evening at 7pm).

We had terrible service. I mean just terrible. The restaurant was nearly empty at this point and with great difficulty, we managed to get our water glasses filled while we waited around endlessly for our waiter to take our drink orders. It got so bad that one of my friends went up to the bar and started taking the pre-filled water jugs and filling water for our party. The bartenders, too consumed in chit-chat, barely noticed.

The service continued on a path of difficulty - with drink orders being hard to come by. In the middle of our dinner, they began a serious cleaning of the glass wall that divides the balcony from the dining room below. Granted, it was covered in nasty oily finger prints - but in the middle of our dinner? Harsh and I'm not just talking about the chemicals.

The food was good. The lackluster attention of the waitstaff and the nastiness of the 3 co-hostesses at the front is a sign to eat, drink, and enjoy elsewhere.

Awesome New Years Eve Party @ Pranna !. We can't say enough about Pranna, especially for New Years Eve 2012. The inside of this 15,000 sq ft venue is truly impressive. It offers various rooms, each with its own bar and unique feel, to venture into. The Main Room is filled with dancing and great vibes.

If you're looking for a VIP experience then the Mezzanine floor is where you want to be. A high-energy atmosphere and a 5 hour Open-Bar are waiting for you at Pranna on NYE '12. Get your tickets today at NYETIX2012. com - Call us at 212-845-9750 for group discounts

Okay Spot but bartender is rude. I was visiting my friend in New York and decided to go out to Pranna. The atmosphere is great! The bartender at the bottom section was rude and obnoxious. Really need a class in customer service.

Expensive But Bad. We came here to celebrate our 11 year-old daughter's singing recital. Wish we had gone elsewhere; the experience was not good. The chicken in the chicken wings was raw; the chicken in the chicken wraps didn't have any taste. Then we waited for our entrees for 30 minutes. The waitress apologized several times and promised "free dessert." By 9:10 pm (we got there at 7:50) our food still hadn't arrived. We were ready to leave when it finally did. The prawns and hangar steak were all right--nothing to write home about. After all of this, we thought they would at least give us the drinks for free, but instead they gave us a few cookies to take home. When we complained with the hostesses, they said they would call the manager/owner so we could tell him. He never showed up so we just left. In a word, we're never coming back.

Worst place ever. Places like Pranna in New York absolutely deserve to go out of business. A friend had a birthday party here and had a couple of tables/bottle service. Obviously not everyone gets to a birthday party at the same time and we didn't either. So people couldn't get in even when she came out to speak with the bouncer herself. But worst of all was that they were extremely rude, to us, to everyone else we saw there... I understand bouncers need to keep things in check, but the bouncers here are really rude, uneducated, ghetto, and basically get a high from being jerks. I would highly suggest that you DO NOT HOST YOUR EVENT HERE, and if you have a friend hosting an event here, get here before 9pm if you plan on getting in. Looking at their restaurant reviews which are pretty pathetic as well, I wouldn't be surprised if this place went out of business soon enough.

Pranna!. Overall this is a great place that you can go to for anything from a romantic dinner to a fun night out with the girls.

If your a large group I'd recommend going through AccessGotham. com. They offer no hassles and free cover at Pranna. I use them all the time!
