Russo's On The Bay

Russo's on the Bay is one of the most iconic place in NYC. Every time i come here, i spend at. least one dinner here. It's great for events like marriage or Award Dinners. The food is great and the steak was absolutely ASTONISHING. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Always such a great time at the annual Breakfast for parents of children with special needs event hosted by My Time Inc. Event was incredible, moving, powerful, and very impactful for everyone. Russo's catering hall is an incredibly beautiful venue that can accommodate and host any form of event needed. It's aesthetic ambiance exemplifies high class luxury and style in many ways. The variety of food and preparations are simply delicious and there's always something for everyone's taste palate and desire. Forgot to take pics of food as I was more focused on enjoying the variety, so maybe next time I'll share pics of food menu. Being by the bay it offers a calming and soothing relief of the sea that adds to its charms and feeling of peace. Every event I've attended here has been nothing short of breathtaking and I always look forward to being there. Thank You to the management and staff for a great place to be and such beautiful, friendly, welcoming, and professional staff. Will be back soon.

I went there for a captains retirement.. It was so classy. The food was amazing.. The open bar was amazing as well. Lastly, the workers were so professional and friendly. An establishment isn't successful without their workers. If your workers aren't pleasant, then your business will fail. From the bartender to the bathroom attendant to the server of our table. It's just amazing.

PSA: If You Haven't Been to Russo's on the Bay, Are You Even Living?! Listen, I'm not here to sugarcoat things--I'm here to tell you that Russo's on the Bay is THAT girl. Period. Our social service agency has been gracing this establishment for over a decade--I'm talking so many events, I've lost count. But last night? LAST. NIGHT. Hit different. Why? One word: Sophia (she spelled it differently. Safiya I believe). When I tell you this young lady understood the assignment, I mean she aced the exam, got extra credit, and was probably the teacher's pet too. Our population consists of individuals with intellectual disabilities, meaning they require a different level of attentiveness, care, and patience. And let's be real--not everyone is up for the task. But Sophia? She stepped up like a queen claiming her throne--smiling, engaging, and treating everyone at our table like an individual. No rushed "What do you want?" energy. No exasperated sighs. Just genuine hospitality. She took drink orders like she was serving at the Ritz and brought back each one with grace and poise (because let's be honest, some servers bring your drinks back like they're mad at you). From start to finish, she delivered service smoother than a luxury car ride--and baby, that cappuccino she made? Life-changing. Now, let's talk about Russo's itself. Because if you think this is just a banquet hall, think again. First of all, shoutout to the staff who immediately let us know about the different bathroom options. Inclusivity? We love to see it. The Saint Patrick's Day celebration was giving everything it was supposed to give--hats, funny glasses, the whole festive vibe. And then--THE FOOD. If you don't get the penne a la vodka, are you okay?! This dish is a crowd favorite for a reason, and last night, we went back for seconds, thirds, and if I had no shame, maybe even fourths. We opted for a buffet-style meal, and let me tell you--bless whoever made that decision. Unlimited access to penne a la vodka should be a human right. Also, the calamari? Chefs kiss. Didn't have it this time, but I've had it before, and it slaps every time. And let's not forget the valet service. Some places act brand new when they see an accessible vehicle, but not Russo's. They handled our agency's specially equipped vans like pros. At the end of the night, my individuals walked away saying this was the best event they've ever attended at Russo's. And that's saying something because we practically have a frequent flyer membership here. If you're looking for white-glove service, next-level hospitality, and food that makes you wanna write a love letter--book Russo's. And if you're lucky enough to get Sophia at your table? Consider your night MADE.

Had an excellent time at a Birthday Banquet as the view of the Cross Bay were cool as it was an elegant evening. The staff for the most part were cool, you always have that one that moves robotic during the cocktail hour but the rest of the staff made up for that momentary lapse. So if I was invited back to this space, I would definitely return. The steak entree along with penne vodka was excellent.

Beautiful place for private parties. Every year my work company celebrates the Christmas party, it is very cozy and spacious, the delicious meals, the dance floor is great. I recommend you if you are going to celebrate any activity

Thank you for the awesome service at Russo on the Bay 4/24/24. Joe, your flexibility and willingness to go above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of was greatly appreciated. Our wedding wouldn't have been such a success without your help. Everything was perfect and we could not have chosen a better place nor more wonderful people! We just wanted to thank you for making our wedding such a perfect night! Thanks for all of your help leading up to the wedding and for the exceptional service. Jewel & Sean Speller

Modern, luxurious, and upscale catering hall. An absolutely beautiful and stunning location to have whatever social event you're hosting. Do you need or want valet parking? Yeah, they do that. Everything you need from bar to waiter services. Top shelf white glove service. They even have a bathroom attendant.
