"With a convenient downtown location and intricately elegant decor, Yvonne’s — located in the historic former Locke-Ober space — is a solid choice for the office holiday party or various other events. The restaurant hosts semi-private and private events — seated meals as well as standing receptions — in three different spaces: the main dining room, the lounge, the gallery, and the library.

"Looking for a dressy night out? Yvonne’s, which bills itself as a modern-day supper club, is a fun option. This swanky spot is worth visiting for the decor alone, but it has some fine snacks and cocktails, as well as large-format dishes like prime rib for two or za’atar rack of lamb." - Tanya Edwards
"Yvonne’s feels built for birthday parties and celebrations, with a big, stylish dining room drenched in velvet, dark wood, and cheeky opulence. The menu leans Mediterranean with a healthy dose of American, and is heavy on shareable snacks like a mezze platter with rich beet-whipped feta, haydari, toasts, and stone-fired pitas topped with all the things (the ham with hot honey is a must)." - tanya edwards

"The dining room in this Downtown Crossing spot is big enough to host an entire steamship’s worth of robber barons—and it looks the part. You may not have as much money as Cornelius Vanderbilt, but you can pretend you do when you split a ribeye steak. It’s pricey, but that makes it an even better place to hit up on the one day of the year when you’re definitely not the one paying." - joel ang, dan secatore, tanya edwards
