A Taste of New York in Jakarta – Ciao, New York Night at Dining Room, Park Hyatt Jakarta
I recently had the pleasure of attending the Ciao, New York Night at the Dining Room in Park Hyatt Jakarta, and it was a truly memorable experience. The evening was a beautiful blend of culinary excellence and refined ambience, perfectly curated to evoke the spirit of New York.
Food & Ambience
The food was absolutely excellent — each dish thoughtfully prepared and presented with flair. The ambience was on-point, striking a balance between elegance and warmth, making it easy to settle in and enjoy the evening. The New York theme was well-executed, and the overall vibe felt cosmopolitan yet inviting.
Service
Service was impeccable. A special shout-out to our servers, Amel, who was attentive, friendly, and made the experience even more enjoyable. Her professionalism and warmth added a personal touch that elevated the evening.
Suggestions for Improvement
While the overall experience was fantastic, I do have a couple of suggestions that could make future events even better:
- Menu Consistency: The inclusion of Indonesian dishes felt slightly out of place given the New York theme. While I appreciate the nod to local flavors, a more cohesive menu would enhance the thematic experience.
- Beverage Options: The dinner package only included water, and while I understand there’s a separate drink package, it felt a bit limiting. Not everyone wants premium liquor or expensive beverages — offering a few refreshing non-alcoholic options like fresh juices or mocktails as part of the main package would be a welcome addition.
- Dessert Selection: The desserts were delightful, but I couldn’t help but notice the absence of some iconic New York treats. Including classics like black and white cookies, babka, or even Magnolia Bakery-style cupcakes would have been a nostalgic and thematic touch.
Overall, Ciao, New York Night was a wonderful experience that I’d gladly recommend. With a few tweaks, it could go from great to exceptional. Kudos to the team at Park Hyatt Jakarta for bringing a slice of New York to the city — I look forward to future themed nights!
