Unimpressive

by MackNYC

We had a holiday party at the kareoke room between 3-6. There were three others guests in the place at that time.

Food & Drink - Bad

Service - Marginal

Ambience - Good.

It was unfortunate, but the restaurant nickel and dime'd us. I would not return, nor would I recommend the place to others.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

great place for a party

by mhig

we had a karaoke b-day party in the private room for 18 people. the private room is very cute with more than ample space. we looked at a few places before chossing this one and most were very small with undesirable decor, but not here. walking in the front door is impressive from the bar area, restaurant and the private room, it's very different & warm. the service & food were both very good - everyone raved. i would definitely recommend this place for a party -- we had a GREAT time singing, drinking, eating and hanging out!

  • Pros: private karaoke
  • Cons: a little pricey

Great Place for a Private Party - Fabulous Service

by eureeka

I threw a birthday party for my mother here and it was great. The manager, Chan, helped me plan the menu and gave insightful suggestions. I had some last minute cancellations and was freaking out, but Apple was more than accomodating and put my mind at ease. The private room in the back has a nice ambiance with the extra bonus of karaoke if you so wish. They will help you out with storing your cake, decorating the room, etc. Appetizers were tasty (chicken skewers and tuna sashimi-yum) and drinks were delish! The waiter kept my Stoli Raspberry and sodas coming. My friends all commented how great everything was. One of the guests was a party planner too, so she knows her stuff. Even if you've never made a party before like myself, leave it to the professionals at Apple. You won't be disappointed.

  • Pros: Service, Appetizers, Private Parties

Great Meet-up place

by jegilford

A great place to hang out and get a big group together. The food is not great. But it's such a large friendly space with such a great big bar, its shortcomings really don't matter. Near R and 6 trains.

  • Pros: Big, friendly, easy to hang out in
  • Cons: Food is not great.

What a cool surprise

by trinfonseca

A friend and introduced me to this cool spot during lunch. The lunch specials were reasonable and very tasty. The atmosphere was very relaxing. I almost didn't have enough energy to return to work. Can't wait to try it out after work.
